WARNING
Handling discs while driving will distract you
from traffic conditions. You could then lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Handle
discs only when the vehicle
is station-
ary.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle is already covering a
distance of 14 m per second.
Notes on discs
!
Do not affix stickers or labels
to the discs.
They could peel off and damage
COMAND Online. Stickers can cause the
disc to bend, which can result in read errors
and disc recognition problems.
!
COMAND Online is designed to play discs
which 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 can-
not 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.
The variety of data media, burners and burn
software means there is no guarantee that
the system will be able to play discs that you
have copied yourself.
DVD playback requirements
With DVDs that do not meet the standard
requirements, you may encounter playback
problems.
COMAND Online is capable of playing back
video DVDs produced according to the fol-
lowing standards:
R
Region code 2 (for Europe) or region code
0 (no region code)
R
PAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i
If you insert a video DVD with a different
region
code, you will see a
message to this
effect.
i
COMAND Online is set to region code 2
at the factory. This setting can be changed
at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. This
will allow you to play video DVDs with a dif-
ferent 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.
Control options
There are four control menus available in
video DVD mode.
Most DVDs have their own control menu.
The DVD's control menu is operated directly
using the controller or DVD functions.
