Notes on copyright
Audio/video files that you create or reproduce
yourself for playback are generally subject to
copyright protection.
In many countries, reproductions, even for pri-
vate use, are not permitted without the prior
consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply with
these.
Notes on CDs/DVDs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
Discs with copy protection are not compatible
with the audio CD standard and therefore may
not be able to be played.
Playback problems may occur when playing
copied discs.
There may be playback problems if you play CDs
that you have copied yourself with a storage
capacity of more than 700 MB.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product.
If you open the housing of the CD/DVD drive,
there is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation. This laser radiation could damage
your retina. There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have main-
tenance and repair work carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop.
GWARNING
Handling discs while driving may distract you from traffic conditions. You could also 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 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every
second.
General notes
Notes on discs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908s tandard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm. If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
The variety of discs, burners and burn software
available means there is no guarantee that the
multimedia system will be able to play discs that
you have burned yourself.
DVD playback conditions
The multimedia system can play back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
RRegion code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
RPAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details either
on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
With DVDs that do not meet the standard
requirements, you may encounter playback
problems.
iObserve the following notes:
RIt is also possible to play video DVDs with a
different region code, provided that they
are produced in accordance with the PAL or
NTSC standard. If you insert a video DVD
with a different region code, a message to
this effect appears.
RThe multimedia system is set to region
code 1 at the factory. This setting can be
changed at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. The region code can be changed up
to five times.
RIf a DVD cannot be played back according
to national color transfer methods (PAL or
NTSC standards), problems with the image,
sound or playback may occur.
Control options
There are various control menus available in
DVD video mode.
Most DVDs have their own control menu.
The DVD's control menu is operated directly
using the controller or DVD functions.
