In

because

of

the

design

the

can

be

tangent

to

At

portions

of

the

record,

there

is

a

slight

deviation

of

the

stylus

from

tangency.

This

is

called

the

tracking

error,

and

introduces

minute

errors

in

the

amplitude

Anti-skating

compensation

While

the

record

is

being

played,

the

frictional

force

between

the

record

groove

and

the

stylus

produces

a

force

that

tends

to

drive

the

tonearm

toward

the

center

of

the

record.

The

anti-skating

compensation

cancels

the

above

mentioned

force,

and

is

applied

in

accordance

with

the

tracking

force.

Incorrect

anti-skating

compensation

results

in

TIPS

ON

RECORD

HANDLING

Before

playing

e@

Clean

the

stylus,

using

a

soft

brush

(stylus

brush,

artist’s

paint

brush,

etc).

Brush

the

stylus

from

back

to

front.

Never

attempt

to

clean

the

stylus

with

your

finger

tip.

e@For

routine

cleaning

of

records,

the

use

of

a

barely

damp

soft

cloth

(gauze,

etc.)

or

a

fluid

type

cleaner

will

be

effective.

If

a

spray

type

record

cleaner

is

used,

make

sure

that

the

cleaner

has

dried

completely

before

playing

the

records.

Playing

the

record

before

the

fluid

has

dried

may

damage

the

record.

It

is

a

good

idea

to

clean

the

record

again

before

putting

it

away.

@

Handle

a

record

by

its

edges

and

don’t

touch

the

music

grooves.

Finger

prints

on

the

record

surface

may

induce

an

accumulation

of

dust,

resulting

in

impaired

tone.
