Malfunctions
The BMW CD 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, labels applied
later can become detached during play-
back due to the development of heat, caus-
ing 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 your
CD 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.
High levels of humidity inside the
player can condense on the laser's
scan lens and temporarily prevent it from
reading the CD.
Do not use combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD+,
as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam, prevent-
ing it from being ejected.< 1.{CD changer}
