Surround sound
General information
If your vehicle is equipped with the harman/
kardon
®
Logic 7 ®
surround sound system,
you can provide the optimum sound
experience for every passenger.
The harman/kardon ®
Logic7 ®
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
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 216).
i The Logic7 ®
ON function enables
playback of stereo recordings, for instance,
with a surround sound experience for every
passenger. It enables optimum playback of
music and films on CDs, audio DVDs or
video DVDs 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 all playable formats 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

optimum audio experience for all
passengers.
You will achieve the best sound results by
playing high-quality audio and video DVDs.
MP3 tracks should have abit rate of at least
128 kbit/s.
Surround sound playback does not
function for mono signal sources, such as
for AM radio mode.
If radio receptio nis poor, e.g. in a tunnel,
you should switch off Logic7 ®
, since it may
otherwise switch dynamically between
stereo and mono and cause temporary
sound distortions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from
conventional stereo playback. System settings

damaging your tires, wheels or vehicle. It is
the driver's sole responsibility to determine
the suitability of the route. Off-road routes
may be of varying conditions and their
appropriateness for use may be affected by
various factors such as time of day, time of
year and immediate weather conditions that
cannot be judged or taken into consideration
by the COMAND system.

guides you for as long as possible with
navigation announcements and displays on
roads known to the system. Example display: route guidance to an off-road
destination
