Welcome to Beoworld !

Are you trying to do something not mentioned in the user or service manuals?
In that case, what?

It's not an antiskating adjustment, it sets the tracking force, but get a tracking force gauge and a user manual.
The gauge can be bought cheaply off Ebay and Amazon etc. The latter can be downloaded from our products section if you upgrade
to at least silver membership level (that's also affordable).
- Or even better, find an original manual on Ebay etc. They do come up from time to time (though the silver membership could be about the same price).

Last but not least I suggest you educate your son to use the deck the right way.
I remember seeing ads where children operate B&O so it can be done.
And he would love being able to play records.  Not a lot of children his age can do that!
