Information on CD/DVD
player
Safety notes
The BMW CD/DVD player is a Class 1
laser product. Do not operate if the cover
is damaged or open, otherwise severe eye dam-
age can result.<
Suitable media
Do not use self-recorded CDs/DVDs with
labels applied as these can become
detached during playback due to heat buildup
and can cause irreparable damage to the
device.
Only use round CDs/DVDs with a standard
diameter of 4.7 in/12 cm.
Never play CDs/DVDs with adapters, e.g. sin-
gle-CDs, as otherwise the CDs or the adapter
can jam and may not be ejected.
Never use combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD
Plus or
hybrid disks, as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam
and may not be ejected. <
The CD/DVD player ca n play the following
media:
> Video DVD
> CD-DA (Audio CD)
> CDs/DVDs with compressed image files
> CDs/DVDs with compressed audio files
> CDs/DVDs with compressed video files
DVD Audio and SACD are not supported by the
DVD player. However, many audio DVDs avail-
able 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
player. Refer to the info rmation on your DVD to
determine whether your audio DVD contains an
additional video track.
Depending on the authoring used, it is possible
that not all functions are available during play-
back.
Dual-sided DVDs availabl e from retail suppliers
are coated on both side s and bear no markings.
This means both sides are information carriers. To play the information on the other side, turn
over the DVD.
Supported formats
Depending on the compression method used,
not all files of the specified formats can be
opened.
Images
JPEG/JPG
With very large image files, it may take a longer
time until the images are shown.

integrated Digital Rights Management.
General malfunctions
The BMW CD/DVD player is optimized for oper-
ation in the vehicle. It may react more sensi-
tively to defective CD s/DVDs than devices
intended for stationary use.
If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check
whether it has been inserted correctly.
Make sure that no foreign bodies or liq-
uids enter the CD-/DVD bay, as otherwise
the CD/DVD player will be damaged.<

Humidity
High levels of humidity can lead to condensa-
tion on the CD/DVD or the laser's scan lens and
temporarily prevent playback.
Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs
If malfunctions occur only with particular CDs/
DVDs, this can be due to one of the following
causes.
Copied or self-recorded CDs/DVDs
Possible reasons for malfunctions with copied
or self-recorded CDs/DVDs are, e.g., inconsis-
tent data-creation or re cording processes, or
poor quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank.
Only label CDs/DVDs on the side with the label
using a pen intended for this purpose.
Damaged CDs/DVDs
Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and mois-
ture.
Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve.
Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over
122 7/50 6, high levels of humidity, or direct
sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection
CDs/DVDs are often provided with a copy pro-
tection feature by the manufacturer. As a result,
some CDs/DVDs cannot be played, can only be
played to a limited degree, or cause the system
to switch off. In this ca se, wait a short while and
then switch the system back on again. Then
remove the CD/DVD from the drive.
CDs/DVDs with compressed audio files
If the language set for the CD/DVD player does
not match the language of the music track, the
music tracks may be displayed incorrectly.
