AUDIO OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
Cassette player O To maintain good quality sound,
INFINITI recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.
O Cassette 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.
O Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.
O Do not use cassettes with labels which
are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player.
O If 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.
O Over a period of time, the playback
head, 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) player O During 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.
O The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
O The CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the compartment temperature
is extremely high. Decrease the tem-
perature before use. O Only use high quality 4.7 inches (12 cm)
round discs that have the ªCOMPACT
disc DIGITAL AUDIOº logo on the disc
or packaging.
O Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight. SAA0480

erly:

Audio main operation Head unit:
The radio has an FM diversity reception sys-
tem, which employs two antennas printed on
the rear window. This system automatically
switches to the antenna which is receiving less
interference.
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.
POWER on/off:
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON, and then
push the POWER on/off button while the sys-
tem is off to call up the mode (radio, tape or
