from a station transmitter, the signals will tend
to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with increased
distance from the station transmitter, static or
flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by
adjusting the treble control counterclockwise
to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.AM RADIO RECEPTIONAM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics. AM
signals are also subject to interference as they
travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for sev-
eral seconds during ionospheric turbulence
even in areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electricalpower lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
AUDIO OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
Cassette playerITo 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 cas-
settes in their protective cases and away
from direct sunlight, heat, dust, mois-
ture 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 rewind the tape firmly around the
hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam-
ming and wavering sound quality.
IOver a period of time, the playbackhead, capstan and pinch roller may col-
lect 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.

Compact Disc (CD) playerIOnly use high quality 4.7 inches (12 cm)
round discs that have the ªCOMPACTdisc DIGITAL AUDIOº logo on the disc
or packaging.
IDuring cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the hu-
midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and
dehumidify or ventilate the player com-
pletely.
IThe player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
IThe CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the compartment temperature
is extremely high. Decrease the tem-
perature before use.
IDo not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
ICDs that are of poor quality, dirty,
scratched, covered with fingerprints, or
that have pin holes may not work prop-
erly.
IDo not use the following CDs as they
may cause the CD player to malfunction.
I8 cm (3.1 in) discs with an adapter
IRecordable compact discs (CD-R)
IRewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
ICDs that are not round
ICDs with a paper labelICDs that are warped, scratched, or
have abnormal edges

FM-AM RADIO WITH CASSETTE
PLAYER AND COMPACT DISC
(CD) PLAYER
Audio main operationHead unit
The radio has an FM diversity reception sys-
tem, which employs two antennas. One is a
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
which allows for improved reproduction of high
frequency ranges. Noise is also greatly re-
duced by the combined use of the Dolby NR
(Noise Reduction) system. The auto loudness
circuit enhances the low frequency range au-
tomatically in both radio reception and tape
and CD playback.
ON×OFF/Volume control:
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON, and then
push the ON×OFF/VOL control knob while the
system is off to call up the mode (radio, tape or
CD) which was playing immediately before the
system was turned off. When no CD or tape is
loaded, the radio will come on. While the
system is on, pushing the ON×OFF/VOL con-
