There is a risk of being distracted from the
road and traffic conditions if this is done while
the vehicle is in motion.
Notes on discs
There may be playback problems when
playing copied discs. There are a large variety
of discs, DVD authoring software, 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.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs,
as they could peel off and damage
COMAND. Stickers can cause the disc to
bend, which can result in read errors and
disc recognition problems.
! COMAND is designed to accommodate
discs which comply with the EN 60908
standard. You can therefore 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
COMAND.
Use round discs with a diameter of 12 cm.
Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm,
even with an adapter.
DVD playback conditions
Video DVDs not conforming to the standards
are commercially available.
These DVDs can create picture, sound or
other problems during playback.
COMAND can play back video DVDs
produced according to the following
standards:
R region code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
i If you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, you will see a message to this
effect.
R PAL or NTSC TV standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i COMAND is set to region code 1 at the
factory. This setting can be changed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. This will
allow you to play video DVDs with a
different region code, provided that they
are produced in accordance with the PAL
or NTSC standard. The region code can be
changed a maximum of five times.
Function restrictions
Depending on the DVD, it is possible that
certain functions or actions will be
temporarily blocked or may not function at all.
As soon as you try to activate these functions
or actions, you will see the K icon in the
display.
