Surround Sound
Your vehicle is equipped with the harman/
kardon LOGIC7 ®
Surround Sound system.
You can select between LOGIC7®
off and
LOGIC7 ®
on .
harman/kardon LOGIC7 ®
Surround Sound is
available for the following operating modes:
R Radio (FM only)
R SatRadio
R CD Audio
R DVD Audio (MLP, DTS, PCM and Dolby
Digital audio formats)
R MP3 (including PCMCIA memory card)
R AUX
R Video DVD (PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital
audio formats)
i As some DVDs contain both stereo and
multi-channel audio formats, it may be
necessary to set the audio format.
i The LOGIC7 ®
on function of the harman/
kardon LOGIC7 ®
Surround Sound system
allows playback of discrete 5.1 and stereo
recordings with an optimum surround
sound experience for each passenger. It
enables optimum playback of music and
films on CD or audio and video DVDs with
high-resolution surround formats, such as
MLP, DTS or Dolby Digital. For ideal sound
perception from all seats, LOGIC7 ®
distributes the 5.1 surround information
over the 12-channel architecture. This
results in sound characteristics like those
intended by the sound engineer when the
original was recorded.
harman/kardon LOGIC7 ®
converts each
two-channel stereo sound source into
multi-channel surround sound. LOGIC7 ®
reads the surround information stored
during the original recording and
distributes it over the 12 channels. No
effects are created during the process,
anything that was always on the recording
is just made audible again. In addition,
harman/kardon LOGIC7 ®
moves the
perceived sound source away from the
loudspeakers and thereby generates a
natural 360° sound experience for every
passenger.
i If you select LOGIC7®
off , playback of all
recognized formats is as it is 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:36Basic Functions of COMANDAt a Glance

Multisession CDs
On multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how COMAND handles
the CD.
If the first session, for example, contains data
in CD Audio format and the second session
contains MP3 tracks, COMAND handles the
CD as a conventional Audio CD. This means
that the MP3 tracks cannot be accessed.
Similarly, if the first session contains MP3
tracks and the second session contains data
in CD Audio format, COMAND handles the CD
as an MP3 CD. Only the MP3 tracks can be
accessed.
File Structure of Storage Medium
When creating an MP3 storage medium, you
can organize MP3 tracks into folders. A folder
can also contain additional folders. A storage
medium may have a maximum of 255 folders
in total. A maximum of 255 tracks and 255
folders are permissible per folder. A
maximum of 4000 tracks in total are
permissible per storage medium.
Track Names and Folder Names
When creating an MP3 storage medium, you
can assign names to the MP3 tracks and to
the folders.
COMAND uses these names in MP3 mode for
the corresponding display. Empty folders or
folders containing data other than MP3 tracks
will not be displayed by COMAND.
If MP3 files are stored in the root directory
itself, the root directory also counts as a
folder. COMAND will then display the root
directory name as a folder name.
Please note the following when assigning
track names:
R Track names must contain at least one
character.
R Track names must have the extension
“mp3”.
R A period must appear between the track
name and the extension.
