The cassette tape will automatically change directions to play the other side when the first side is completed. Precautions on cassette tape player operation ¼ To maintain good quality sound, NISSAN recommends that you use cassette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length. ¼ Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cassettes 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. ¼ Do not use cassettes that have peeling or loose labels. If used, the label could jam in the player. ¼ If 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. ¼ Over 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 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.
