Insert the CD magazine all the way in the direc-
tion of arrow

The CD changer automatically reads in the
loaded CDs and is then ready for operation.

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 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. DVD

Plus

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.

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 self-
recorded 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 top, with a pen
designed for this purpose.

Damaged CDs/DVDs

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
120

7/506, high levels of humidity 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.

Care

Clean the reflective signal side of CDs/DVDs as
needed by wiping it with a commercially avail-
able cleaning tissue in straight lines from the
center of the disc outwards. For more informa-
tion on taking care of CDs/DVDs please refer to
the Caring for your vehicle brochure.
