Malfunctions
CD/DVD changers and players have been optimized for performance in vehicles. In some instances, the CD/DVD players and changers may be more sensitive to faulty CDs/DVDs than stationary devices would be.
If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check whether it has been inserted correctly.
Humidity
High levels of humidity can lead to condensation on the CD/DVD or the laser's scan lens, and temporarily prevent playback.
Burned CDs/DVDs
- Possible reasons for malfunctions with home-recorded CDs/DVDs are inconsistent data creation or recording processes, or poor quality or old age of the blank CD/DVD.
- Only label CDs/DVDs on the upper side with a pen intended for this purpose.
Using CDs/DVDs correctly
- Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and moisture.
- Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve.
- Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over 122 ℉/50 ℃, high humidity or direct sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection
CDs/DVDs are often provided with a copy protection feature by the manufacturer. Copy protection can mean that some CDs/DVDs cannot be played or can only be played to a limited extent.
