Stylus skipping at beginning of record

Recommended is 2g.  I’m at about 1.9  

yogiboy,

Thanks for  the sympathetic post.

 It really is a PITA!

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I believe the problem is probably that the tracking force is too light. It’s presently under two grams. Problem is, I’m embarrassed to say, that I don’t know how to adjust it. Nothing is easy adjusting this Volare turntable. I’m calling the technician who set it up to find out.  
I don’t want to increase the antiskating because I have it dialed in for best sound.

Tooblue,

The technician had set it at zero antiskate. Of course the problem was acute. 
I then experimented with various settings.  When I increased the antiskating  level it didn’t skip at all but the sound was dull. I then lowered the antiskating a bit and the sound was the best I heard it. The needle still skipped but not as much.

I just increased the tracking force and that seems to have improved things further.
