Adjusting the anti-skating

As the platter rotates, the tip of the stylus generates a force that pulls it toward the center of rotation. If the anti-skating value is set to the same value as the stylus pressure, a force is generated that pulls the tip of the stylus outward away from the center of rotation, and the two forces cancel each other.

Turn the anti-skating adjustment to the same value as the stylus

pressure of the cartridge.
