COMAND does not support WMA files of the

following types:

DRM (Digital Rights Management)

encrypted files

variable bit rate

WMA Pro

5.1 Surround

Only use tracks with a bit rate of at least

128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least

Notes on copyright
MP3 or WMA tracks that you create or play

back are generally subject to copyright

protection in accordance with the applicable

international and national regulations.
In many countries, reproductions, even for

private use, are not permitted without the

prior consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable

with these.
If you own these rights yourself, e.g. for your

own compositions and recordings, or if the

these restrictions do not apply.
Notes on CDs/DVDs

COMAND is designed to play discs that

comply with the EN 60908 standard.

Therefore, you can only use discs with a

maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that

contain data on both sides (DVD on one

side and audio data on the other), they

cannot be ejected and can damage the

device.
Only use round discs with a diameter of

12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of

8 cm, even with an adapter.

Discs with copy protection are not

compatible with the audio CD standard and

therefore may not be able to be played by

COMAND.
Playback problems may occur when playing

copied discs. There is a wide range of data

carriers, disc-writing software and writers

available. This variety means that there is no

guarantee that the system will be able to play

discs that you have copied yourself.
There may be playback problems if you play

CDs that you have copied yourself with a

storage capacity of more than 700 MB. CDs

of this type do not conform to the currently

applicable standards.

On many DVD audio discs, the last track

does not contain any music. If COMAND

then switches to the next disc, it is normal

system behavior and does not mean that

there is a malfunction.

COMAND is able to play back audio CDs

in multichannel audio format.
