Notes
The BMW CD player is a Class 1 laser
product. Never remove the cover from the
housing. Do not operate with a damaged cover
panel as this can lead to severe eye injury.
Never play CDs or DVDs with stick-on labels.
They can come loose during playback due to
the heat buildup and cause irreparable damage
to the system.
Only use round CDs with a standard diameter of
4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs with an
adapter, e.g. CD singles; otherwise, the CDs or
the adapter can jam and may no longer eject
properly.<
General malfunctions
The BMW CD player is optimized for operation
in the vehicle. It may react more sensitively to
defective CDs than devices intended for sta-
tionary use.
If a CD cannot be played back, first check to
make sure it has been correctly inserted.
Humidity
High humidity can fog the CD or the focusing
lens for the laser beam, temporarily preventing
playback.
Malfunctions with individual CDs
If malfunctions occur only with particular CDs,
this can be due to one of the following causes.
Home-recorded CDs
Malfunction sources in home-recorded CDs
include, for example, inconsistent data origina-
tion and recording processes as well as low
quality or pronounced aging of the blanks used.
Only write on CDs with a marker especially
designed for this purpose.
Damaged CDs
Avoid finger prints, dust, scratches, and mois-
ture.
Store CDs in a sleeve.
Do not expose CDs to temperatures above
1227/506, high humidity or direct sunlight.
CDs with copy protection
Manufacturers often provide CDs with copy
protection. This can prevent or limit the play-
back of these CDs.
Care instructions
You can find everything you need to know about
this topic by consulting the separate Caring for
your vehicle brochure.

DVD changer
172
Notes
The DVD changer can play the following for-
mats:
>Video DVD
>CD-DA (audio CD)
The DVD Audio format is not supported by the
DVD changer. However, many audio DVDs
available in stores also contain a video track in
the DVD Video format in addition to the audio
track. These DVDs can be played back by the
DVD changer. Please refer to the information on
your DVD to determine whether your audio DVD
contains an additional video track.
DVDs are usually divided into tracks and chap-
ters and can contain different subtitles, camera
angles or sound tracks, languages and sound
formats. Depending on the version of the DVD,
these functions can be selected either directly
with the DVD control system or only via the
DVD-specific menu. Refer to the information on
your DVD for possible selections.
Dual-sided DVDs available from retail suppliers
are coated on both sides and bear no markings.
This means both sides are information carriers.
To play back the information on the other side,
remove the magazine and turn the DVD over.
Safety note
The BMW DVD changer is a Class 1 laser
product. Do not operate with a damaged
cover panel as this can lead to severe eye injury.
Never play CDs/DVDs with stick-on labels.
They can come loose during playback due to
the heat buildup and cause irreparable damage
to the system.
Only use round CDs/DVDs with a standard
diameter of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs/
DVDs with an adapter, e.g. CD singles; other-
wise, the CD/DVD or the adapter can jam and
may no longer eject properly.
Do not use combined CD/DVDs, e.g. DVD
Plus;
otherwise, the CD/DVD can jam, preventing it
from being ejected properly.<
General malfunctions
The BMW DVD changer is optimized for opera-
tion in the vehicle. It may react more sensitively

ing lens for the laser beam, temporarily prevent-
ing playback.
