Important Safety Precautions
!
This manual provides important information that
will help you safely operate the BMW DVD Rear
Seat Entertainment System. Please read it
completely before using the system. Failure
to follow the cautions or instructions in this
manual could result in a severe personal injury
accident and/or damage to the system.
Maintain audio volume at a level where you can
still hear outside sounds while driving. Failure
to do so may result in an accident, or failure to
hear emergency vehicles.
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, do not
operate the system more than 15 minutes
without starting the engine.
It is always important to operate your vehicle in
a safe manner and to avoid distractions while
driving. Under certain driving conditions, you
may need to turn the Rear Seat Entertainment
System ‘OFF’ to avoid distraction and to focus
all of your attention on the driving task.
Halt use immediately if a problem occurs.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or
damage to the product. Return to the nearest
BMW Center for repair.
Do not operate any function that diverts your
attention from safely driving your vehicle. Any
function that requires your prolonged attention
should only be performed after coming to a
complete stop in a safe location.

CAUTIONS:
• Attempting to play a cracked, warped, irregularly
shaped, or damaged disc could severely damage
DVD Player playback mechanism.
12 SKIP DOWN - Return to beginning of currently
playing chapter or track during playback or
pause modes.
• Make sure discs inserted in DVD Player do not have
irregularities. Outer and inner edges must be round
and smooth. DVD Player automatically ejects discs
with irregular surfaces as a protective measure to
prevent jamming and mechanism damage. If a new
disc inserted is ejected after initial loading; run a
finger around inside of disc’s center hole and out-
side edge to ensure outer and inner edges are round
and smooth. Small bumps or irregularities could
inhibit proper disc loading. To remove bumps, rub
inside edge of the hole and disc’s outside edge with
the flat, curved, side of a ballpoint pen or other such
instrument before reinserting disc.

33 CHANNEL SELECTOR SWITCH – Switches audio
reception between Channel A and Channel B.
Since Monitors have capability to reproduce different
sources independently (i.e.: DVD, Game Units,
HandiCam, etc.) through auxiliary inputs, it is
necessary to transmit audio signals on separate
channels (A & B). Driver’s side Monitor is designat-
ed Channel A, and passenger’s side Channel B.
Headphone channel selector switch must be set to
the appropriate channel according to the Monitor
being viewed.
sound signals via an infrared light beam. They operate
in a line-of-sight orientation with INFRARED LED
TRANSMITTER window on bottom edge of Monitor,
(Refer to Page 7 Figure 6).
31 POWER – Momentary POWER switch permits
headphones to be switched ‘ON/OFF’ manually.
POWER LED (Figure 34) will illuminate as head-
phones are switched ‘ON’. An Auto-Off Power-Saver
feature automatically switches headphones ‘OFF’
three and one-half minutes after reception of the last
detected infrared transmission signal to help con-
serve battery power.
34 POWER LED - Illuminates in red to indicate that
headphones are switched ‘ON’, and battery power
is being supplied.
32 VOLUME - Adjusts volume of the audio signal
UP/DOWN.
CAUTION:
• Turn headphone volume nearly to minimum before
turning power switch ‘ON’ to avoid damage to
headphones or listener’s ears.
