Information on CD/DVD
player
Safety notes
The BMW CD/DVD player is a Class 1
laser product. Do not operate if the cover
is damaged, otherwise severe eye damage can
result.<
Suitable media
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 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
Plus or
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 is not supported by the DVD player.
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 player. Please
refer to the information on your DVD to deter-mine whether your audio DVD contains an addi-
tional video track. Depending on the authoring
used, it is possible that not all functions are
available during playback.
Dual-sided DVDs available from retail suppliers
are coated on both sides and bear no markings.
This means both sides are information carriers.
To play the information on the other side, turn
over the DVD.
Supported formats
Depending on the compression method used,
not all files of the specified formats can be
opened
Images

With very large image files, it may take a longer
time until the images are shown.

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.

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 occur only with particular CDs/
DVDs, this can be due to one of the following
causes.

or self-recorded CDs/DVDs are, e.g., inconsis-
tent data-creation or recording processes, or
poor quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank.

using a pen intended for this purpose.
Damaged CDs/DVDs

ture.

1227/506, high levels of humidity or direct
sunlight.

tection feature by the manufacturer. This can
