Surround sound
General information
If your vehicle is equipped with the harman/
kardon ®
Logic 7 ®
surround sound system,
you can set the optimum surround sound for
every passenger.
The harman/kardon ®
Logic 7 ®
surround
sound system is available for the following
operating modes:
R radio (FM only)
R satellite radio
R audio CD
R audio DVD (MLP, dts, PCM and Dolby
Digital audio formats)
R MP3 (including SD memory card)
R Media Interface
R video DVD (PCM, dts and Dolby Digital
audio formats)
R AUX
Because some DVDs contain both stereo and
multichannel audio formats, it may be
necessary to set the audio format
( Y page 211).
i The Logic7 ®
ON function enables
playback of, e.g. stereo recordings with a
surround sound experience for every
passenger. It enables optimum playback of
music and films on CD, audio DVD or video
DVD with multichannel audio formats, such
as MLP, dts or Dolby Digital. This results in
sound characteristics like those intended
by the sound engineer when the original
was recorded.
i If you select LOGIC7®
OFF , the sound
system plays the tracks as stored on the
medium. Due to the design of the
passenger compartment, an optimum
audio experience cannot be guaranteed for
all passengers.
i Discs which support the audio formats
mentioned have the following logos:
Dolby Digital
dts

i Please bear the following in mind:
For an optimum audio experience on all
seats when Logic7 ®
is switched on,
balance and fader should be set to the
center of the passenger compartment.
You will achieve the best sound results by
playing high-quality audio and video DVDs.
MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at least
128 kbit/s.
Surround-sound playback does not
function for mono signal sources, such as
AM radio mode.
If radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel,
you should switch off Logic 7 ®
, as it may
otherwise switch between stereo and
mono and cause temporary sound
distortions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from
conventional stereo playback.

Basic settings
Route mode
Setting route type and route options
You can select the following route types:
R Fast Route : COMAND calculates the
route with the shortest (minimized) journey
time.
R Dynamic Route : same route type as Fast
Route . In addition, COMAND takes traffic
reports into account during route
guidance 5
. Thus, the navigation system is
able to guide you around a blocked section,
for example. If a faster route is determined
due to a received RDS-TMC traffic
announcement, the navigation system
changes the route. If possible, it will bypass
blocked roads.
R Eco Route : the ECO route is an economical
route that takes traffic announcements
into account (see dynamic route).
R Short Route : COMAND calculates the
route with the shortest possible
(minimized) route distance.
In addition to route types, route options can
also be set.
5 Traffic reports are not available in all countries.136NavigationCOMAND
