Safety notes
The BMW CD/DVD player is a Class 1 
laser product. Do not operate if the cover 
is damaged or open, otherwise severe eye dam-
age can result.
<
Suitable media
Do not use self-recorded CDs/DVDs with 
labels applied as these can become 
detached during playback due to heat buildup 
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:

CDs/DVDs with compressed video files
DVD Audio and SACD are not supported by the 
DVD player. However, many audio DVDs avail-
able 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 
player. Refer to the information on your DVD to 
determine whether your audio DVD contains an 
additional video track.
Depending on the authoring used, it is possible 
that not all functions are available during play-
back.
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.

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.
Make sure that no foreign bodies or liq-
uids enter the CD-/DVD bay, as otherwise 
the CD/DVD player will be damaged.
