Damaged CDs/DVDs

Notes

Avoid fingerprints dust, scratches, and mois-

ture.

Keep CDs/DVDs in a sleeve.

Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over

1227/506, high levels of humidity or direct

sunlight.

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 with adhesive

labels as these can come loose during playback

due to heat build-up and cause irreparable

damage to the system.

CDs/DVDs with copy protection

Manufacturers often provide CDs/DVDs with

copy protection. This can mean that some CDs/

DVDs cannot be played or can only be played to

a limited extent.

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, other-

wise the CDs or the adapter can jam and may no

longer be ejected.

Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD^Plus

otherwise, the CD/DVD can jam and will no

longer eject.<

;

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.

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.

Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs

If malfunctions only occur with individual CDs/

DVDs, one of the following factors may be the

cause.

Home-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 advanced age of the CD/DVD blank.

Label CDs/DVDs only on the top, using a marker

designed for this purpose.
