MANUAL ANTENNA Metal or chrome tape usage The cassette player is automatically set to high performance play when playing a metal or chrome cassette tape. The indicator will come on when playing a metal or chrome cassette tape. ● Do not use a cassette that has a label which is peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player. ● 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. ● 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 accumulation 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. The antenna cannot be shortened but can be removed. Turn its base counterclockwise to remove the antenna. CAUTION Be sure to remove the antenna before washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash, or the antenna may be damaged. Ejecting the cassette tape Push the EJECT button. The tape automatically comes out. Precautions on cassette player operation ● To maintain good quality sound, NISSAN recommends using cassette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length. ● Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cassettes in their protective cases, away from direct sunlight, heat, moisture and magnetic sources. ● Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to become deformed. The use of a deformed cassette may cause the cassette to jam in the player. 3-20
