AUDIO SYSTEM

RADIO
With the ignition placed in the ACC or ON position, press the power button or ON•OFF button to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio with the engine not running, the ignition should be placed in the ACC position. Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitters, buildings, bridges, mountains, and other external influences. Intermittent changes in reception quality normally are caused by these external influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle may influence radio reception quality.

Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio reception. These circuits are designed to extend the reception range and enhance the quality of that reception. However, there are some general characteristics of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest equipment is used. These characteristics are completely normal in a given reception area and do not indicate any malfunction in your NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain, signal distance, and interference from other vehicles can work against ideal reception. Described below are some of the factors that can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may cause interference or a buzzing noise to come from the audio system speakers. Storing the device in a different location may reduce or eliminate the noise.

FM RADIO RECEPTION

• Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 –30 mi (40 – 48 km), with monaural (single channel) FM having slightly more range than stereo FM. External influences may sometimes interfere with FM station reception even if the FM station is within 25 mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same characteristics as light. For example, they will reflect off objects.
• Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade and/or drift.
• Static and flutter: During signal interference from buildings, large hills, or due to antenna position (usually in conjunction with increased distance from the station transmitter), static or flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the treble control to reduce treble response.
• Multipath reception: Because of the reflexive characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected signals reach the receiver at the same time. The signals may cancel each other, resulting in momentary 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 subject 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 (if so equipped)
When the satellite radio is used for the first time or the battery has been replaced, the satellite radio may not work properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with the satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of any metal or large building for the satellite radio to receive all of the necessary data. No satellite radio reception is available unless there is an active SiriusXM® Satellite Radio service subscription. Satellite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam. If satellite radio is not operational then pressing the RADIO button will switch between FM and AM bands.
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 satel-lite antenna. A build up of ice on the satellite radio an-tenna can affect satellite radio perfor-mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite radio reception.

Compact disc (CD) player
CAUTION

• Do not force a compact disc into the CD insert slot. This could damage the CD and/or CD player.
• Trying to load a CD with the CD door closed could damage the CD and/or CD player.
• Only one CD can be loaded into the CD player at a time.
• Only use high quality 4.7 in (12 cm) round discs that have the “COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc or packaging.
• During cold weather or rainy days, the player may malfunction due to the humidity. If this occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or ventilate the player completely.
• The player may skip while driving on rough roads.
• The CD player sometimes cannot function when the compartment temperature is extremely high or low. Decrease/increase the temperature before use.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sun-light.
• CDs that are in poor condition or are dirty, scratched or covered with fin-gerprints may not work properly.
• The following CDs may not work properly:
  • Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
  • Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
  • Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
• Do not use the following CDs as they may cause the CD player to malfunc-tion:
  • 3.1 in (8 cm) discs with an adapter
  • CDs that are not round
  • CDs with a paper label
  • CDs that are warped, scratched, or have abnormal edges
• This audio system can only play pre-recorded CDs. It has no capability to record or burn CDs.
• If the CD cannot be played, one of the following messages will be displayed. CHECK DISC
• Confirm that the CD is inserted cor-rectly (the label side is facing up, etc.).
• Confirm that the CD is not bent or warped and it is free of scratches.

PRESS EJECT
This is an error due to excessive tem-perature inside the player. Remove the CD by pressing the EJECT button. After a short time, reinsert the CD. The CD can be played when the tem-perature of the player returns to nor-mal.
UNPLAYABLE
The file is unplayable in this audio system (only MP3 or WMA CD).

Compact disc with MP3 or WMA
Terms

• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well-known compressed digital audio file format. This format allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an audio track from CD-ROM can reduce the file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3 compression removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the human ear doesn’t hear.
• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a compressed audio format created by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA codec offers greater file compression than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in the same amount of space when compared to MP3s at the same level of quality.
• Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits per second used by a digital music file. The size and quality of a compressed digital audio file is determined by the bit rate used when encoding the file.
• Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency is the rate at which the samples of a signal are converted from analog to digital (A/D conversion) per second.
• Multisession — Multisession is one of the methods for writing data to media. Writing data once to the media is called a single session, and writing more than once is called a multisession.
• ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that contains information about the digital music file such as song title, art-ist, encoding bit rate, track time dura-tion, etc. ID3 tag information is displayed on the Artist/song title line on the display.

Playback order
Music playback order of a CD with MP3 or WMA files is as illustrated.

• The names of folders not containing MP3 or WMA files are not shown in the display.
• If there is a file in the top level of the disc, “Root Folder” is displayed.
• The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing soft-ware. Therefore, the files might not play in the desired order.
