The DVD player does not support DVD audio.
However, many audio DVDs available in stores
also contain a video track in the DVD Video for-
mat in addition to the audio track. These DVDs
can be played back by the DVD player. Refer to
the information 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 playback.

are coated on both sides and bear no markings.
This means both sides are information carriers.
To play the information on the other side, turn
over the DVD.

not all files of the specified formats can be
opened.

General malfunctions
The BMW CD/DVD player is optimized for oper-
ation in the vehicle. It may react more sensi-
tively to defective CDs/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 objects or liq-
uids get into the CD/DVD slot; 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 may include incon-
sistent data-creation or recording processes, or
poor quality or significant aging of the CD/DVD
blank.
Only label CDs/DVDs on the upper side with 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
above 1227/506 o r t o h i g h h u m i d i t y l e v e l s o r
direct sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection

tection feature by the manufacturer. As a result,
