ver.
Do not remove the cover. The RSE CD/DVD
player does not contain any parts which can
be serviced by the user. For safety reasons,
have any necessary service work performed
by qualified personnel.
WarningG
When not in use, headsets or external video
sources should be stored in a safe location

General information on CD/DVD
operation
i
Your RSE CD/DVD player has been de-
signed to play CDs/DVDs which corres-
pond to the IEC 60908 standard. You
can therefore only use CDs with a maxi-
mum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g.
ones that have data on both sides (one
side with DVD data, the other side with
audio data), they cannot be ejected and
will damage the drive.
i
CDs, software and hardware for writing
data to CDs vary widely. Therefore, we
cannot guarantee that the system will
be able to play every user-written CD.
i
The system may not be able to play
copied CDs or those with copy
protection.
!
Do not attach labels of any type to the
CD. They may become detached and
damage the drive.
!
Do not play single CDs (80mm) with an
adapter. An adapter could become
stuck and damage the drive. Only use
12 cm diameter CDs.

Tips on caring for your DVDs
Treat DVDs with care to prevent
malfunctions during playback.
Do not scratch, touch or soil your
DVDs.
Do not attach labels to or write on your
DVDs.
From time to time, clean your DVDs
with a commercially available cleaning
cloth. Never wipe circularly, but in a
straight line from inside to outside.
After use, put your DVDs into the DVD
box.
Protect your DVDs from high
temperatures and direct sunlight.
You can operate the RSE via
the Remote control and
the button panel at the front on the two
rear monitors.
Point the remote control with the
infrared transmitter 1 at the receiver
diode l on one of the two rear
monitors.
Switching between the rear monitors
Move the left/right monitor switch 3
on the right side of the remote control
to switch between the left monitor and
the right monitor.
Soft key selection via remote control
Turn the thumb wheel up or down.
You navigate through the soft keys. The
corresponding soft key on the selected
rear monitor changes its color.
Press the thumb wheel.
The function is selected.
DVD playback requirements
i
Some DVDs may not comply with the
NTSC or PAL TV playback standards.
Sound, picture and other playback
problems may occur when you play
such DVDs.
The RSE CD/DVD player can playback
video DVDs meeting the following
requirements:
Correct regional code
NTSC or PAL TV standard
The appropriate information is usually
given either on the DVD or the DVD
box. The factory setting of the RSE CD/
DVD player is regional code 1. The
setting can be changed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. This
will allow you to playback video DVDs
with other regional codes, as long as
they comply with the NTSC or PAL TV
standard.
