Safety notes

The BMW CD/DVD player is a Class 1
laser product. Do not operate if the cover
is damaged or open, otherwise severe eye dam-
age can result.<
Suitable media
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.
Never play CDs/DVDs with adapters, e.g. sin-
gle-CDs, as otherwise the CDs or the adapter
can jam and may not be ejected.
Never use combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD
hybrid disks, as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam
and may not be ejected.<
The CD/DVD player can play the following
media:
> Video DVD
> CD-DA (Audio CD)
> CDs/DVDs with compressed image files
> CDs/DVDs with compressed audio files
>
CDs/DVDs with compressed video files
DVD Audio and SACD are not supported by the
DVD player. However, many audio DVDs avail-
able in stores also contain a video track in the
DVD Video format in addition to the audio track.
These DVDs can be played back by the DVD
player. Refer to the information on your DVD to
determine whether your audio DVD contains an
additional video track.
Depending on the authoring used, it is possible
that not all functions are available during play-
back.
Dual-sided DVDs available from retail suppliers
are coated on both sides and bear no markings.
This means both sides are information carriers.

General malfunctions
The BMW CD/DVD player is optimized for oper-
ation in the vehicle. It may react more sensi-
tively to defective CDs/DVDs than devices
intended for stationary use.
If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check
whether it has been inserted correctly.
Make sure that no foreign bodies or liq-
uids enter the CD-/DVD bay, as otherwise
the CD/DVD player will be damaged.<
