Precautions on cassette player op-
eration
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 casesand away from direct sunlight, heat,
dust, moisture or magnetic sources.
IDirect sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-
formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
IDo not use cassettes that have peel-
ing 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 is played. This residue accumu-
lation can cause a weak or wavering
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.
