FM-AM RADIO WITH CASSETTE
PLAYER AND COMPACT DISC
(CD) PLAYER (Bose)
Audio main operationHead unit
The radio has an FM Diversity reception sys-
tem, which employs two antennas. One is a
rod type antenna; the other is an antenna
printed on the window. This system automati-
cally switches to the antenna which is receiv-
ing less noise.
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
playback.
Power/Volume control:
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON, and then
push the Power/Volume control knob while the
system is off to call up the mode (radio, tape or
CD) which was playing immediately before the
system was turned off. When no CD or tape is
loaded, the radio will come on. While the
system is on, pushing the Power/Volume con-trol knob turns the system off.
To turn the radio off, press the Power/
Volume control knob.
Turn the Power/Volume control knob to adjust
the volume.

sound will resume. Memorizing is now com-
plete.
4. Other buttons can be set in the same

If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse blows, the radio memory will be can-
celled. In that case, reset the desired stations.Cassette tape player operationTurn the ignition key to ACC or ON, and then
lightly insert the cassette tape into the tape
door. The cassette tape will be automatically
pulled into the player.
The radio or CD will turn off (if it is on) and the
cassette tape will begin to play.

tape door.
This could cause player damage.If the system is turned off by pushing the
Power/Volume control knob with the cassette
tape still in the player, the tape will resume
playing when the Power/Volume control knob
is pushed again.
Precautions on cassette player operation:
ITo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends that you use cas-
sette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in
length.
ICassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes 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.
IDo not use cassettes that have peelingor loose labels. If used, the label could
jam in the player.
IIf 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.
IOver 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 waver-
ing sound and should be removed peri-
odically with a head cleaning tape.
If the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be disas-
sembled for cleaning.
PLAY/STOP:
IWhen this button is pushed with the system
turned off and a tape loaded, the system
will come on and the tape will play.
IWhen this button is pushed with either the
radio or compact disc turned on and the
tape loaded, the compact disc or the radio
will automatically be turned off and the tape
will play.
While the tape is playing, pushing the TAPE
