However, it will also have no correction for tracking error and the resulting distortion is unacceptable. As soon as the arm's head is offset to lower tracing distortion, skating force arises. - Page 9 To increase or decrease the amount of anti-skating force applied, simply unplug the Lemo connector and twist it in the direction you want the force applied. For example, to increase anti-skating force give the connector a counterclockwise twist, unwinding the coiled wire. Likewise, to decrease the force, give the connector a clockwise twist.
