Your vehicle is equipped with the harman/
kardon LOGIC7
® Surround Sound system.
You can select between “
LOGIC7®On” and
“
LOGIC7®Off”.
harman/kardon LOGIC7
® Surround Sound
is available for the following operating
modes:

Radio (FM only)

SatRadio*

CD audio

DVD audio (MLP, DTS, PCM and Dolby
Digital audio formats)

MP3 (including PCMCIA memory card)

Aux

DVD video (PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital
audio formats)
i As some DVDs contain both stereo and also
multi-channel audio formats, it may be neces-
sary to set the audio format (
page 66).
i The “LOGIC7®On” function of the harman/
kardon LOGIC7® Surround Sound system per-
mits the playback of discrete 5.1 and stereo re-
cordings with an optimal surround sound
platform for each passenger. Music and films on
CD or audio and video DVDs with high-resolution
surround formats, such as MLP, DTS or Dolby
Digital, are played with optimum sound.
The LOGIC7
® distributes the 5.1 surround infor-
mation over the 12-channel system architecture
to provide the optimum sound in all seats. This
produces the sound characteristics as intended
by the sound engineer during the original record-
ing.
harman/kardon LOGIC7
® converts all two-chan-
nel stereo sound sources into multi-channel sur-
round sound. The surround information stored
during the original recording is read out using
LOGIC7
® and likewise distributed over the
12 channels. No effects are created during the
process, anything that was always on the record-
ing is just made audible again.
Moreover, harman/kardon LOGIC7
® draws the
audible sound source away from the individual
loudspeakers, thus creating a natural 360°
sound platform for each passenger.
i By selecting “LOGIC7® Off”, the playback
of all playable formats is performed as on the ex-
isting medium. Due to the spatial conditions in
the vehicle, optimal sound is not possible in all
seats.
i Discs supporting the above-mentioned au-
dio formats display the following logos

Introduction
Update sequence
The sequence includes the following stag-
es:

Loading DVD into the DVD changer

Update process
i The update process may take between 60
and 150 minutes, depending on the size of the
map software.
If possible, perform the update when the vehicle
is stationary. The DVD read speed is faster when
the vehicle is stationary than when the vehicle is
moving and the update therefore takes less time.
If you perform the update with the engine off and
the vehicle battery is no longer powerful enough,
COMAND may shut off automatically during the
process to protect the battery. In this case, re-
start the update with the engine running.
You can interrupt the update process and contin-
ue it at a later time. If you cancel the update pro-
cess, the navigation system is not ready for
operation.
