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 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. CD singles; other- wise, the CDs or the adapter might jam and no longer eject. Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVDPlus; 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 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 condensa- tion on the CD/DVD or the laser's scan lens and temporarily prevent playback.
1. Push the cover to one side, arrow 1. 2. Press the button, arrow 2.
The CD magazine is ejected.
Push the magazine back in after at least 2 seconds have passed so that the inserted CDs can be read in again.
Inserting/removing CDs from the CD magazine
When loading CDs into or removing them from the CD magazine, hold them at their edges and do not touch the reflective signal-sensing area. Inserting CDs: Insert one CD per compartment with the labeled side up. Removing CDs: Pull out the desired compartment and take out the CD.

Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs If malfunctions occur only with particular CDs/ DVDs, this may be due to one of the following reasons.
Self-recorded CDs/DVDs Possible reasons for malfunctions with self- recorded CDs/DVDs are, for example, inconsis- tent data-creation or recording processes, or poor quality or old age of the CD/DVD blank. Only label CDs/DVDs on the top, with a pen designed for this purpose.
Damage 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 above 1227/506, nor to high humidity levels or direct sunlight.
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.
