2005 BMW 645CI COUPE&CONVERTIBLE CD changer

CD player and CD changer
146
Inserting/removing CDs from
CD magazine
When inserting or removing CDs, remember to
hold them only by their edges, taking care to
avoid touching the reflective CD memory sur-
face.
To insert:
Insert the CD in a CD slot with the labeled side
facing upward.
To remove:
Pull out the desired drawer, refer to arrow, and
remove the corresponding CD.
Inserting CD magazine
Push in the CD magazine as far as possible in
the direction of the arrow.
The CD changer automatically reads in the
inserted CDs and is then ready for operation.
Notes
Data from CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs can be
played.
Safety notes
The BMW CD drives are Class 1 laser
products. Do not operate if the cover is
damaged, otherwise severe eye damage can
result.
Do not use self-recorded CDs with labels
applied as these can become detached during
playback due to the development of heat and
cause irreparable damage to the device.
Only use round CDs with a standard diameter
of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs with an
adapter, e.g. Single-CDs, otherwise the CDs
or the adapter can jam and may no longer be
ejected.
Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD
Plus,
as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam and will no
longer eject.<
Malfunctions
To prevent illegal CD copying, manufacturers
often use copy protection. This can mean than
some CDs cannot be played or can only be
played to a limited extent. In this case, please
contact the CD dealer or manufacturer.
You may experience playback problems, such
as skips, when using CD-Rs/CD-RWs that you
have copied at home.
If the CD that you have loaded in the drive does
not play, check to ensure that the CD has been
inserted correctly and inspect it for signs of
defects.
High levels of humidity can lead to condensa-
tion on the laser's scan lens and temporarily
prevent it from reading the CD.
Always hold CDs by the edges; do not touch the
reflecting CD memory surface.
