CD player NISSAN SENTRA 1998 B14 / 4.G User Guide

Adjusting tone quality and speaker
balance
To adjust BASS, TREB (treble), BAL (bal-
ance) and FADER, the control knobs must
be released from their stowed positions.
Pushing the knobs once moves them from
their stowed positions.
In the released position, the knobs control
tone quality. Turn the control knobs to adjust
BASS and TREB (treble) to the desired level.
From the released position, the knobs must
then be pulled out in order to control FADER
and BAL (balance). FADER adjusts the soundlevel between the front and rear speakers,
and BAL (balance) adjusts the sound level
between the right and left speakers.
Once sound quality is set to the desired
levels, return the control knobs to their
stowed positions by pushing them in com-
pletely.
CASSETTE TAPE OPERATION
Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON
position, and carefully insert a cassette tape
into the tape door. The cassette tape auto-
matically pulls into the player. The word
TAPE illuminates in the display.
CAUTION
Do not force the cassette tape into the
tape door. This could cause player
damage.
Precautions on cassette player op-
eration
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,
moisture or 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 that have peel-
ing or loose labels. If used, the label
could jam in the player.
cIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette

Loose tape may cause jamming and
wavering sound quality.
cOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
collect a tape coating residue as the
tape is played. This residue accumu-
lation can cause a weak or wavering
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 dis-
assembled for cleaning.

Microphone installed model
If equipped with a genuine cellular phone,
your NISSAN features a non-directional mi-
crophone in the steering column cover, so it
is not necessary to look at or speak directly
into the microphone when calling.
To do so could detract from the driving
operation and cause an accident.
See the manual for car phone operation.
Pre-wired and antenna for phone
installed model
Some models are pre-wired to accept the
genuine NISSAN cellular phone.
In addition, the same model has the phone
antenna built into the rear glass window.
When installing a CB ham radio or a car
phone in your NISSAN, be sure to observe
the following cautions, otherwise the new
equipment may adversely affect the Multi-
port Fuel Injection (MFI) system and other
electronic parts.
