The HFNRR bias tracks aren't tracking ability tests. They're intended to cause mistracking in order to give you a frame of reference for dialing-in anti-skating. The only reason there are four tracks of gradually increasing difficulty on side one is that different arm/cartridge combinations have a different threshold where the stylus begins to lose its hold on the groove.Just balance the buzz equally in both channels, put the test record away, and play some music. Fine-tune your anti-skating over time by ear if you hear any indication of mistracking. There's a good chance that you'll end up with a little too much anti-skating after using the test LP; i.e., too much stylus pressure on the outer groove (right channel), so you might hear some distortion on the left channel during difficult musical passages. If so, just back off the anti-skating a little and you'll be good to go.
BTW, what's your current VTF? You should start out with around two grams and adjust it by ear (between 1.8g and 2.2g) after the cartridge breaks in.
