Notes on discs
! Do not affi xstickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage COMAND.
Stickers can cause the disc to bend, which
can resul tinread errors and disc
recognition problems.
! COMAND is designed to play discs that
comply with the EN 60908 standard.
Therefore, you can only use discs with a
maximum 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 the
device.
Only use round discs with adiameter of
12 cm .Do not use discs with a diameter of
8 cm, even with an adapter.
Playback problems may occur when playing
copied discs. There are a large variety of
discs, DVD authoring software, writing
software and writers available. This variety
means that there is no guarantee that the
system will be able to play discs that you have
copied yourself. DVD playback conditions

PAL TV standards, they may create picture,
sound or other problems during playback.
COMAND is capable of playing back video

changed up to five times. Function restrictions
