Audio CD Changer: Notes
The audio CD changer in the E60 is a new development. The following details have changed:
- The housing dimensions are smaller and more lightweight
- The magazine is newly designed
- The CD changer has an optical bus link
The magazine is newly designed and now features a transparent cover making it possible to see what compartment is loaded with a CD. The new design now also differentiates distinctly from the DVD magazine.
As before, the CD changer is designed as a 6-compartment changer with magazine. The housing dimensions have been distinctly reduced so that less space is required, making it possible to fit he CD changer in the glove compartment.
The CD changer is located in the units carrier behind the glove compartment. The glove compartment must be opened in order to change the magazine.
A new feature is the optical link to the MOST bus. The CD changer sends the digital audio signals via the MOST bus to the multi-audio system controller.
In the Top Hi-Fi audio system, the digital audio signals are sent directly to the Top Hi-Fi amplifier. All controls and operating signals are also sent via the MOST bus.
