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
Dolby Digital
DTS
MLP
Surround sound
