Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND
uses the information contained therein to
display the artist, album and track name.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text
information, COMAND can use the Gracenote
Media Database to identify unknown audio
tracks when running in audio CD mode. This
is only possible if the relevant information is
saved in the Gracenote Media Database and
if the "Gracenote Media Database" function
is activated.
If this is the case, COMAND will display the
corresponding data such as artist, album and
track name in the relevant displays and lists.
If COMAND accesses the Gracenote Media
Database when reading an audio CD, you will
see the following message:
Selecting Gracenote ®
data to be displayed
If the inserted CD does not contain any
Gracenote ®
data, the Gracenote Media
Database menu item is shown in gray and
cannot be selected.
XSwitch on audio CD mode ( Y page 205).XSelect CD by sliding VÆ and turning cVd
the COMAND controller and press W to
confirm.XSelect Gracenote Media Database by
turning cVd the COMAND controller and
press W to confirm.
Switch the function on O or off ª.
Updating Gracenote ®
music recognition
technology and the Gracenote Media
Database
The digital data on the Gracenote Media
Database becomes obsolete due to the
release of new CDs. Optimum functionality
can only be attained with up-to-date
Gracenote ®
music recognition technology.
Information about new versions can be
obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
You can have your music recognition
software updated there with a DVD, or you
can update it yourself.
i The Gracenote Media Database is
updated in conjunction with the navigation
system's digital map ( Y page 172).
Setting the audio format
You can only set the audio format in audio
DVD mode. The number of audio formats
available depends on the DVD. The content of
an audio DVD is called an "album", and this
can be divided into up to nine groups. A group
can contain music in different sound qualities
(stereo and multichannel formats, for
example), or bonus tracks. Each group can
contain up to 99 tracks. If an audio DVD only
contains one audio format, the "Group" menu
item(s) cannot be selected.
XSwitch on audio DVD mode ( Y page 205).XSelect DVD-A by sliding VÆ and turning
cVd the COMAND controller and press
W to confirm.Audio211COMANDZ

Notes on USB devices
R In order to keep the initialization time to a
minimum, store only music data on a USB
device.
R Approximately 10,000 tracks are
supported. Multiple partitions should be
used for larger numbers of tracks.
R Do not use USB extension leads or
adapters. They can impair functionality.
R A background search of the USB device is
performed and any playlists found are
shown in a separate category in addition to
the folders. Initialization of larger USB mass
storage devices containing a large number
of files may take several minutes.
i DRM (Digital Rights Management)
protected files are not supported by the
Media Interface.
Audio AUX mode
Notes on audio AUX mode
You can connect an external audio source
(AUX) to COMAND. The socket for this is
located in the glove box.
If COMAND is equipped with a Media
Interface, external audio sources are
connected using the corresponding cable set.
An AUX socket is not provided.
i You can find more information on the
Internet at http://www.mercedes-
benz.com/connect and in the "Media
Interface mode" section ( Y page 217).
Activating audio AUX mode
When you connect an external audio source,
audio AUX is not selected automatically.
XSelect Audio in the main function bar by
sliding ZV and turning cVd the COMAND
controller and press W to confirm.XSelect AUX using cVd and press W to
confirm.
The audio AUX menu appears. The medium
in the external audio source is played, if the
source is connected and playback
selected.
Please see the respective operating
instructions for how to operate the external
audio source.
You will find details on volume ( Y page 124)
and sound ( Y page 125) settings in the "At a
glance" section.
GWARNING
External audio sources may have different
volumes, which can mean that system
messages such as traffic announcements and
navigation system announcements are much
louder. If necessary, please deactivate the
system messages or adjust their volume
manually.
Increasing the volume
In some cases, the volume of the AUX device
may be quieter or louder, or the usual
maximum possible volume cannot be
reached. On some devices, it is possible to
adjust the volume separately. In this case,
start at a medium volume and increase it
gradually. This enables you to determine
whether the system is able to play tones at
high volume without distorting them.

! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs,
as they could peel off and damage
COMAND. Stickers can cause the disc to
bend, which can result in read errors and
disc recognition problems.
! COMAND is designed to accommodate
discs which comply with the EN 60908
standard. You can therefore 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
cannot be ejected and can damage
COMAND.
Use round discs with a diameter of 12 cm.
Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm,
even with an adapter.
DVD playback conditions
If video DVDs do not conform to the NTSC or
PAL TV standards, they may create picture,
sound or other problems during playback.
COMAND can play back video DVDs
produced according to the following
standards:
R region code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
i If you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, you will see a message to this
effect.
R PAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i COMAND is set to region code 1 at the
factory. This setting can be changed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. This will
allow you to play video DVDs with a
different region code, provided that they
are produced in accordance with the PAL
or NTSC standard. The region code can be
changed up to five times.
Function restrictions
Depending on the DVD, it is possible that
certain functions or actions will be
temporarily blocked or may not function at all.
