Notes
BMW CD/DVD players and changers are
officially designated Class 1 laser prod-
ucts. Do not operate if the cover is damaged,
otherwise severe eye damage can result.
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 and do not play CDs/
D V D s w i t h a n a d a p t e r , e . g . C D si n g l e s , a s o t h e r -
wise the CD/DVD or the adapter can jam and
may no longer eject properly.
Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD
Plus,
otherwise the CD/DVD can jam and will no
longer eject. <
General malfunctions
BMW CD/DVD changers and players have been
optimized for performance in vehicles. In some
instances they may be mo re sensitive to faulty
CDs/DVDs than stationary devices would be.
If a CD/DVD cannot be pl ayed, first check if it
has been inserted correctly.
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 on ly with particular CDs/
DVDs, this can be due to one of the following
causes.

CDs/DVDs
If all of the LEDs on the CD/DVD changer flash
rapidly, then a malfunction is occurring.
To rectify the malfunction:
1. Press the button.
The CD/DVD last in serted is ejected.
2. Remove the CD/DVD. When the LEDs stop flashing rapidly, the CD/
DVD changer is once more operational.
Self-recorded CDs/DVDs
Possible reasons for malfunctions with self-
recorded CDs/DVDs are, e.g., inconsistent
data-creation or recording processes, or poor
quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank.
Only label CDs/DVDs on
the upper side with a
pen intended for this purpose.
Avoiding damage
Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and mois-
ture.
Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve.
Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over
122 6/50 6, high levels of humidity, or direct
sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection
CDs/DVDs are often prov ided with a copy pro-
tection feature by the manufacturer. This can
m e a n t h a t s o m e C D s / D V D s c a n n o t b e p l a y e d o r
can only be played to a limited extent.
Care
If necessary, clean the reflective scanning side
of the CDs/DVDs with a commercially available
cleaning cloth by wiping in straight lines from
the center outward.
