squares illuminate on the right side of the
display window.Do not force the cassette tape into the
tape door. This could cause player
damage.The cassette tape automatically changes di-
rections to play the other side when the first
side is complete. At this time, the moving
digital squares illuminate on the left side of the
display window.
Precaution on cassette player operation:
ITo maintain good quality sound, NISSAN
recommends using cassette tapes of 60
minutes or shorter in length.
ICassette tapes should be removed from the
player when not in use. Store cassettes in
their protective cases and away from direct
sunlight, heat, moisture and magnetic
sources.
IDirect sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam in
the player.IDo not use cassettes with labels which are
peeling and loose. If used, the label could
jam in the player.
IIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil
through one of the cassette hubs and re-
wind the tape firmly around the hubs. Loose
tape may cause tape jamming and waver-
ing sound quality.
IOver a period of time, the playback head,
capstan and pinch roller may collect a tape
coating residue as the tape is played. This
residue accumulation can cause weak or
wavering sound, and should be removed
periodically with a head cleaning tape. If the
residue is not removed periodically, the
player may need to be disassembled for
cleaning.

tion. Either the FF or REW symbol flashes in
the display while searching for the selection.
This system searches at the blank intervals
between selections. If there is a blank interval
within one selection or there is no interval
between selections, the system may not stop
in the desired or expected location.

Push the PROG button. The moving digital
squares illuminate on either the right or left
side of the display window to indicate the side

rod type antenna; the other is an antenna
printed on the window. This system automati-
cally switches to the antenna which is receiv-
ing less noise.
The tape deck employs a permalloy head

Precautions on cassette tape player
operation:
ITo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends that you use cas-
sette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in
length.
ICassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and away
from direct sunlight, heat, moisture or
magnetic sources.
Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.IDo not use cassettes that have peeling
or loose labels. If used, the label could
jam in the player.
IIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly. Loose tape
may cause jamming and wavering
sound quality.
IOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
gather a tape coating residue as the tape
passes over the head. This residue ac-
cumulation can cause a weak or waver-
ing sound and should be removed peri-
odically with a head cleaning tape.
If the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be disas-
sembled for cleaning.
