Inserting CD magazine
Malfunctions
To prevent illegal CD copying, manufactur-
ers often use copy protection. This can
mean than some CDs cannot be played or
only to a limited extent. In this case, please
contact the CD dealer or manufacturer.
You may experience playback problems,
such as skips, when using CD-Rs/CD-RWs
that you have copied at home.
If the CD that you have loaded in the drive
does not play, check to ensure that the CD
has been inserted correctly and inspect it
for signs of defects.
Push in the CD magazine as far as possible
in the direction of the arrow.
High levels of humidity can lead to conden-
sation on the laser's scan lens and tempo-
rarily prevent it from reading the CD.
Keep CDs away from magnetic fields as
created, e.g., by loudspeakers.
The CD changer automatically reads in the
inserted CDs and is then ready for opera-
tion.
Always hold CDs by the edges; do not
touch the reflecting CD memory surface.
Notes
For correct playback of MP3 content, the
MP3 data should have been produced with
the Fraunhofer codec.
Good playback quality is achieved with a
data transfer rate of 192 kBit/s, however it
should be at least 128 kBit/s.
Care instructions
You can find everything you need to know
on this topic by consulting the Caring for
your vehicle brochure.
Safety notes
The BMW CD drives are Class 1 laser
products. Do not operate if the cover
is damaged, otherwise severe eye damage
can result.
Do not use self-recorded CDs with labels
applied as these can become detached
during playback due to the development of
heat and cause irreparable damage to the
device.
Only use round CDs with a standard diam-
eter of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs
with an adapter, e.g. maxi CDs, as other-
wise the CDs or the adapter can jam and
may no longer be ejected.
Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g.
Plus
DVD
and is no longer ejected.<
, as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam
