Malfunctions
The BMW CD changer is a Class 1
laser product. Do not operate the sys-
tem if the cover is damaged, otherwise
severe eye damage can result.
Always refer repair and maintenance oper-
ations to qualified technicians.
With self-recorded CDs, labels applied
later can become detached during play-
back due to the development of heat and
cause irreparable damage to the device.<
CDs with copy protection devices
cannot be played on your CD changer
or only with certain restrictions. These CDs
differ from the CD Audio Standard Red
Book, on the basis of which all CD players
and changers are designed. In this case,
please contact the CD dealer or manufac-
turer.
You may experience playback problems,
such as skips, when using CDs that you
have copied at home.
If the display fails to detect a CD that you
have loaded in the magazine, check to
ensure that the CD has been inserted cor-
rectly and inspect it for signs of defects.
High levels of humidity inside the system
can condense on the laser's scan lens and
temporarily prevent it from reading the
CD.<
