Notes on copyright
Audio/video files that you create or repro-
duce yourself for playback are generally sub-
ject to copyright protection.
In many countries, reproductions, even for
private use, are not permitted without the
prior consent of the copyright holder. Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply
with these.
Notes on CDs/DVDs
!COMAND is designed to play discs that
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 can-
not be ejected and can damage the device.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of
8 cm, even with an adapter.
Discs with copy protection are not compati-
ble with the audio CD standard and therefore
may not be able to be played by COMAND.
Playback problems may occur when playing
copied discs.
There may be playback problems if you play
CDs that you have copied yourself with a stor-
age capacity of more than 700 MB.
