Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected
signals reach the receiver at the same time. The
signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION
AM 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 sub-
ject 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 several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION
When the satellite radio is first installed or the
battery has been replaced, the satellite radio may
not work properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait
more than 10 minutes with satellite radio ON andthe vehicle outside of any metal or large building
for satellite radio to receive all of the necessary
data.
No satellite radio reception is available and “NO
SAT” is displayed when the SAT button is
pressed unless optional satellite receiver and
antenna are installed and an XMTor SIRIUS™
satellite radio service subscription is active.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio
signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
antenna.AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Cassette player
cTo maintain good quality sound, NISSAN
recommends using cassette tapes of 60
minutes or shorter in length.

cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store
cassettes in their protective cases and
away from direct sunlight, heat, dust,
moisture and magnetic sources.
cDirect sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-
formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
cDo not use cassettes with labels which
are peeling and loose. If used, the label
could jam in the player.
cIf 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.
cOver 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 resi-
due is not removed periodically, the
player may need to be disassembled
for cleaning.Compact disc (CD) player
cOnly use high quality 4.7 inches (12 cm)
round discs that have the “COMPACT
disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc
or packaging.
cDuring 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
completely.
cThe player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
cThe CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high. Decrease the
temperature before use.
cDo not expose the CD to direct sun-
light.
cCDs that are in poor condition or are
dirty, scratched or covered with finger-
prints may not work properly.
cThe following CDs may not work prop-
erly:
cCopy control compact discs (CCCD)
cRecordable compact discs (CD-R)
cRewritable compact discs (CD-RW)cDo not use the following CDs as they
may cause the CD player to malfunc-
tion:
c3.1 in (8 cm) discs with an adapter
cCDs that are not round
cCDs with a paper label
cCDs that are warped, scratched, or
have abnormal edges
