Important Notes
In chapter “HD Radio™, you will find detailed
information about
R the special features of HD Radio that
distinguish it from analog AM and FM radio
R selecting an HD Radio station
R displaying program information.
i Optional HD Radio ®
equipment is
required for the HD Radio operation
described here. A special subscription,
however, is not necessary.
i HD Radio features include
R digital broadcasts in the same waveband
as analog AM/FM; the analog AM/FM
stations remain at their current place on
the dial
R the ability to broadcast multiple program
streams over a single FM/AM frequency
(e. g. HD1, HD2, etc.)
R static-free, clear reception
R FM stations offer CD quality sound, AM
stations sound like analog FM stations
R a variety of data services, including
textbased information – artist name,
song title, etc. – shown on the display.
More information on HD Radio you will find
at http://www.hdradio.com.
i Note that subprograms and program info
shown in illustrations are dependent on
program content delivered by the radio
stations. Program content is subject to
change. Therefore, subprograms and
program info shown in illustrations and
descriptions contained in this manual may
differ from the subprograms and program
info delivered by the radio station.
Switching to HD Radio
i Since HD Radio stations are embedded in
the AM/FM waveband, HD Radio operation
is very similar to analog AM/FM radio
operation. In this chapter, only the
functions that differ from the normal FM
radio functions are described separately.
Analog AM/FM radio operation is described
in chapter “Radio” ( Y page 119).
You can de-activate HD Radio for the selected
frequency in the radio submenu.
XSelect Radio£HD Radio in the radio
display.
If the checkbox c is unchecked, HD
Radio is de-activated.
Now you hear the analog program of this
frequency.
As soon as you change to another HD-Radio
frequency, HD Radio will be re-activated.HD Radio™123AudioZ

Tuning to a Station
You can tune to an HD Radio station in the
same way as you would tune to a normal FM
Radio station. When you tune to a HD Radio
frequency, for a short period of time, the
analog channel is received until the digital
data has been decoded. Only then you will
hear digital radio and be able to switch to a
subprogram (-HD2).

COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser
product. You must not open the casing. There
is a risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation
if you open the casing, or if the casing is faulty
or damaged.
COMAND does not contain any parts that you
are able to maintain yourself. For safety
reasons, all maintenance work must be
exclusively carried out by qualified
technicians.
GWarning
Only carry out the following when the vehicle
is stationary:
R Inserting a disc

Notes on MP3 Mode
Permissible Storage Media
R CD-R and CD-RW
R DVD+R and DVD+RW
R DVD-R and DVD-RW
R SD memory card
Permissible File Systems
R ISO9660/Joliet for CD storage media
R UDF for DVDs
R FAT16 for SD card with storage medium
Multisession CDs
On multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how COMAND handles
the CD.
130CD Audio/DVD Audio/MP3Audio

If the first session, for example, contains data
in audio CD 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 audio CD 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 1200 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.
i COMAND does not support ID3 tags.
Permissible Formats
COMAND supports the following formats:
R MPEG1 audio layer 3 format
i In everyday speech, this format
designation has been replaced by the
designation “MP3”.
R Microsoft Windows ®
Media Audio V2, V7,
V8 und V9 (WMA).
Notes on Copyright
The music tracks that you can create for
playback in MP3 mode are generally
copyright-protected under applicable
international and national laws.
In many countries, the reproduction of
copyrighted material is not permitted even if
only for personal use without the express
prior consent of the copyright holder.
Please check the current copyright laws for

to your own compositions and recordings or
for recordings for which authorization has
been obtained from the copyright holder.
Notes about Audio DVD Discs
COMAND can playback commercially
available, prerecorded audio DVDs that bear
the following label. You will usually find the
label on the DVD booklet, the inlay or the DVD
itself.
i Audio DVDs differ from recordable DVD-R
and DVD-RW discs.
