Anti-Skating Force (Bias)
The interaction of stylus friction and cartridge bearing
forces produces a force which pulls the tonearm to-
wards the centre of the record (referred to as skating
force). This force can be offset with the help of anti-skat-
ing force, which, in the case of the TP 82, is produced
by a bias weight.
Lead the bias weight string through the hanger guide
and hook the string’s loop over the tonearm’s bias shaft
(

).
The string can be located in one of six grooves on the
bias shaft. The further out the string loop on the bias
shaft, the higher the anti-skating force. The amount of
anti-skating force required depends on the type of pick-
up cartridge and the tracking force used.

The amount of anti-skating force required depends
on the type of pick-up cartridge used. If you change
the cartridge for a different type, use a test record
to determine how much anti-skating force is required.
