Notes
The DVD changer can play the following for-
mats:
> Video DVD
> CD-DA (audio CD)
The DVD Audio format is not supported by the
DVD changer. However, many audio DVDs
available 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 changer. Please refer to the information on
your DVD to determine whether your audio DVD
contains an additional video track.
DVDs are usually divided into tracks and chap-
ters and can contain different subtitles, camera
angles or sound tracks, languages and sound
formats. Depending on the version of the DVD,
these functions can be selected either directly
with the DVD control system or only via the
DVD-specific menu. Refer to the information on
your DVD for possible selections.
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 back the information on the other side,
remove the magazine and turn the DVD over.
Safety note
The BMW DVD changer is a Class 1 laser
product. Do not operate with a damaged
cover panel as this can lead to severe eye injury.
Never play CDs/DVDs with stick-on labels.
They can come loose during playback due to
the heat buildup and cause irreparable damage
to the system.
Only use round CDs/DVDs with a standard
diameter of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs/
DVDs with an adapter, e.g. CD singles; other-
wise, the CD/DVD or the adapter can jam and
may no longer eject properly.
Do not use combined CD/DVDs, e.g. DVD
Plus ;
otherwise, the CD/DVD can jam, preventing it
from being ejected properly.

tion in the vehicle. It may react more sensitively

for stationary use.
If a CD/DVD cannot be played back, first check
to make sure it has been correctly inserted.
Humidity
High humidity can fog the CD/DVD or the focus-
ing lens for the laser beam, temporarily prevent-
ing playback.

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

DVDs include, for example, inconsistent data
origination and recording processes as well as
low quality or pronounced aging of the blanks

cially designed for this purpose.
Damaged CDs/DVDs

ture.
