¼ Do not use cassettes that have labels which are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player. Do not force the cassette tape into the tape door. This could cause player damage. The cassette tape will automatically change directions to play the other side when the first side is completed. The indicator light will run when the tape is playing. ¼ 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 jamming and wavering sound quality. ¼ Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may collect a tape coating residue as the tape passes over the head. 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. APS fast forwarding or APS rewinding the tape Push either the APS (automatic program search) FF or APS REW button while the cassette tape is playing. The tape will run quickly, and stop and play at the next program. The indicator light will run with quick intervals when the APS FF or APS REW function is started. This system searches at the blank intervals between selections. If there is a blank interval within one program or there is no interval between programs, the system may not stop in the desired or expected location. Precautions on cassette 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 and 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. Changing the direction of tape play Push the PROG (program) select button. Fast forwarding or rewinding the tape Push either the FF (forward) or REW (rewind) button for the desired direction. The indicator light will run with quick intervals when the FF or REW function is started. Playing and stopping the cassette tape Pushing the PLAY/STOP button while the cassette tape is playing stops the tape. Pushing the button again plays the tape. Dolby NR (noise reduction) Push the DOLBY NR " " button for Dolby NR encoded tapes to reduce high frequency tape noise. The indicator will come on. 3-19
