Malfunctions/notes
The BMW DVD changer is a 'Class 1'
laser product. Never remove the
cover from the housing. Do not operate the
unit if the cover is damaged. Operation
without the cover can lead to serious eye
injury from invisible laser beams.
Always refer all repair and maintenance
operations to qualified technicians.
With self-recorded CDs or DVDs, labels
applied later can become detached during
playback due to the development of heat,
causing irreparable damage to the
device.

To prevent CDs from being copied
illegally, they are often provided with
copy protection by the manufacturer.
Under certain circumstances this can pre-
vent or restrict the playing of CDs on the
DVD changer. In this case please contact
the CD dealer or manufacturer.
<
If you play self-recorded audio CDs, faults,
e.g. drop-outs, can occur, or the CD is not
played at all.
The DVD changer can play the following
formats:
> Video DVD
> CD-DA, Audio CD
> CD-R.
The DVD Audio format is not sup-
ported by the DVD changer. However,
many audio DVDs available in stores also
contain a video track in the DVD Video for-
mat in addition to the audio track. These
DVDs can be played back by the DVD
changer. Please refer to the information on
your DVD to determine whether your audio
DVD contains an additional video track.
DVDs are usually divided into tracks and
chapters and can contain different subti-
tles, camera angles or sound tracks, lan-
guages and sound formats. Depending on
the version of the DVD, these functions can
be selected either directly with the DVD
control system or only via the DVD-specific
menu. Refer to the information on your DVD
for possible selections.
High levels of humidity inside the player
can condense on the laser's scan lens and
prevent it from reading the DVD.
Do not use combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD+,
as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam, prevent-
ing it from being ejected.
