CDs and DVDs
Use of CDs/DVDs
▷Do not use self-recorded CDs/DVDs
with labels applied, as these can be‐
come detached during playback due
to
heat buildup and can cause irrepar‐
able damage to the device.
▷ Only use round CDs/DVDs with a standard

General malfunctions
▷ CD/DVD changers and players have been
optimized for performance in vehicles. In
some

instances they may be more sensitive
to faulty CDs/DVDs than stationary devices
would be.
▷ If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check
whether it has been inserted correctly. Humidity
High

levels of humidity can lead to condensation
on the CD/DVD or the laser's scan lens, and
temporarily prevent playback.
Malfunctions involving individual CDs/
DVDs
If malfunctions occur only with particular CDs/
DVDs, this can be due to one of the following
causes:
Home-recorded CDs/DVDs
▷ Possible reasons for malfunctions with
home-recorded

CDs/DVDs are inconsistent
data creation or recording processes, or
poor quality or old age of the blank CD/DVD.
▷ Only label CDs/DVDs on the upper side with
a pen intended for this purpose.
Damage
▷ Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and
moisture.
▷ Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve.
▷ Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures
over 122 ℉/50 ℃, high humidity or direct
sunlight.

tection feature by the manufacturer. This can
mean
