Gracenote®Media Database
General notes
This function is available in CD audio, MP3 and
iPod®mode.
There is a version of Gracenote®music recog-
nition technology, Emeryville, California, USA on
the hard disk of the multimedia system. You will
recognize this by the logo in the bottom right-
hand corner of certain audio displays. If the
audio CD does not contain any CD text informa-
tion, the multimedia system can use the Grace-
note
®Media Database to identify unknown
audio tracks when in audio CD mode.
In addition the cover art for the main display
field, the album list and the "Select by cover"
function from the Gracenote
®Media Database
are displayed for the music files and the iPod®.
This occurs when the cover art is not contained
in the files but in the Gracenote
®Media Data-
base.
Online prompt for metadata
A connection to the Gracenote®Data Server is
made automatically when an audio CD is inser-
ted. The missing data is loaded, saved in the
multimedia system and shown on the display. If
the search for metadata is unsuccessful, no data
can be displayed. If no phone is connected or
configured for data use, this function is unavail-
able.
An Internet connection is required for this

accident.
Handle discs only when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every
second.
General notes
Notes on discs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908s tandard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm. If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
The variety of discs, burners and burn software
available means there is no guarantee that the
multimedia system will be able to play discs that
you have burned yourself.
DVD playback conditions
The multimedia system can play back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
RRegion code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
RPAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details either
on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
With DVDs that do not meet the standard
requirements, you may encounter playback
problems.
iObserve the following notes:
RIt is also possible to play video DVDs with a
different region code, provided that they
are produced in accordance with the PAL or
NTSC standard. If you insert a video DVD
with a different region code, a message to
this effect appears.
RThe multimedia system is set to region
code 1 at the factory. This setting can be
changed at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. The region code can be changed up
to five times.
RIf a DVD cannot be played back according
to national color transfer methods (PAL or
NTSC standards), problems with the image,
sound or playback may occur.
Control options
There are various control menus available in
DVD video mode.
Most DVDs have their own control menu.
The DVD's control menu is operated directly
using the controller or DVD functions.
