Notes on CDs/DVDs
!
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 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
compatible 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 is a wide range of data
carriers, disc-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.
There may be playback problems if you play
CDs that you have copied yourself with a
storage capacity of more than 700 MB. CDs
of this type do not conform to the currently
applicable standards.
i On many DVD audio discs, the last track
does not contain any music. If COMAND
then switches to the next disc, it is normal
system behavior and does not mean that
there is a malfunction.
i COMAND is able to play back audio CDs
in multichannel audio format. Music search
