Bluetooth Stereo Turntable Adjusting the anti-skating control When a record is playing, a small inward force (might cause skating) pulls the tone arm towards the center of the record. To counteract this inward force, you can adjust the anti skating control to apply an outward force (anti-skating). Normally you should set anti-skating compensation to its minimum setting. If the turntable is experiencing excessive skipping while nearing the center spindle, try increasing the anti-skating.
