CD player and CD changer Inserting the CD magazine Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs If malfunctions only occur with individual CDs/ DVDs, one of the following factors may be the cause. Self-recorded CDs/DVDs Possible reasons for malfunctions with selfrecorded CDs/DVDs are, e.g., inconsistent data-creation or recording processes, or poor quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank. Insert the CD magazine all the way in the direction of arrow 1 and close the cover, arrow 2. The CD changer automatically reads in the loaded CDs and is then ready for operation. Only label CDs/DVDs on the top, with a pen designed for this purpose. Damage prevention Avoid leaving fingerprints, as well as dust, scratches or moisture on the CDs/DVDs. Keep CDs/DVDs in protective sleeves or cases. Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over 1207/506, high levels of humidity or direct sunlight. Notes BMW CD/DVD players and changers are officially designated Class 1 laser products. 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 build-up 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/ DVDs with an adapter, e.g. Single-CDs, otherwise the CDs or the adapter can jam and will no longer eject. Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVDPlus, otherwise the CD/DVD can jam and will no longer eject.< CDs/DVDs with copy protection CDs/DVDs are often copy-protected by the manufacturer. This can mean that some CDs/ DVDs cannot be played or can only be played to a limited extent. Care Clean the reflective signal side of CDs/DVDs as needed by wiping it with a commercially available cleaning tissue in straight lines from the center of the disc outwards. For more information on taking care of CDs/DVDs, please refer to the Caring for your vehicle brochure. General malfunctions BMW 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 if 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. 168 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 691 - © 11/07 BMW AG
