CD player and CD changer 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 buildup 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, as otherwise the CD/DVD or the adapter can jam and may no longer eject properly. Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVDPlus, otherwise the CD/DVD can jam and will no longer eject.< When the LEDs stop flashing rapidly, the CD/ DVD changer is once more operational. 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. Only label CDs/DVDs on the upper side with a pen intended for this purpose. Avoiding damage Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and moisture. Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve. Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over 1227/50 6, high levels of humidity or direct sunlight. 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. CDs/DVDs with copy protection CDs/DVDs are often provided with a copy protection feature by the manufacturer. This can mean that some CDs/DVDs cannot be played or can only be played to a limited extent. 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. For additional information on the care of CDs/DVDs, refer to the Caring for your vehicle brochure. Humidity High levels of humidity can lead to condensation 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. Filling the CD/DVD changer or removing CDs/DVDs If all of the LEDs on the CD/DVD changer flash rapidly, then a malfunction is occurring. To rectify the malfunction: 1. Press the button. The CD/DVD last inserted is ejected. 2. Remove the CD/DVD. 180 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 248 - © 08/07 BMW AG
