Media Database*
i This function is only available in audio CD
mode and during operation with the instal-
led hard disk.
There is a version of Gracenote ®
's music
identification technology (Emeryville, Califor-
nia, USA) on the hard disk. You will recognise
this by the logo which can be seen in the bot-
tom right-hand corner of certain audio dis-
plays. Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND
uses the information contained therein to dis-
play the artist, album and track name.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text
information, COMAND can use the Grace-
note
®
Media Database to recognise unknown
audio titles when running in audio CD mode.
The prerequisites for this are that the relevant
information be stored in the Gracenote ®
Media Database and that the "Read CD data-
base" function is activated.
If this is the case, COMAND will display the
available 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 see
the following information: Adjusting the audio format

Video DVD functions
Automatic picture shutoff
The picture automatically switches off on the
driver's side if the vehicle is travelling faster
than approximately 6 km/h when in video
DVD mode. The following message appears
in the display:
As soon as the vehicle speed drops below
about 3 km/h, the picture switches back on
again. Notes about handling DVDs
There may be playback problems when play-
ing copied discs. There are a large variety of
discs, DVD authoring software, disc writing
software and writers available. This variety
means that Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee
that the system will be able to play discs that
you have copied yourself.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs,
as they could peel off and damage
COMAND. Stickers can also cause the disc
to bend, which can result in read errors and
disc recognition problems.
COMAND is designed to hold discs which
comply with the EN 60908 standard. There-
fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-
mum 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.
Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm,
even with an adapter. Only use round discs
with a diameter of 12 cm.
R Only hold discs by the edge.
R Handle discs carefully to prevent reading
errors.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on discs.
R Clean discs from time to time with a com-
mercially available cleaning cloth. Do not wipe them with a circular motion, but only
in straight lines from the centre outwards.
R To label discs, only use a pen designed for
such a purpose.
R Place discs back in their cases after use.
R Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight. DVD playback conditions
It is possible to buy video DVDs which do not
conform to the current standard. Such DVDs
may have picture, sound or other playback
problems.
COMAND can play back video DVDs pro-
duced according to the following standards:
R region code 2 or region code 0
R PAL or NTSC TV standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
COMAND is set to region code 2 at the fac-
tory. This setting can be changed a maximum
of five times by a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. 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 TV standard. Function restrictions
Depending on the DVD, it is possible that cer-
tain functions or actions will be temporarily
blocked or may not function at all. As soon as
you try to activate these functions or actions,
you will see the Ksymbol in the display. Inserting and ejecting DVDs
X Proceed as described in the "Inserting CDs
and DVDs" section ( Ypage 77). 84
