Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product.
If you open the CD/DVD drive housing, you
could be exposed to invisible laser radiation.
This laser radiation could damage your retina.
There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have
maintenance and repair work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Handling discs while driving may distract you
from traffic conditions. You could also lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Handle discs only when the vehicle is
stationary.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph

a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every second. Notes on discs
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage COMAND.
Stickers can cause the disc to bend, which
can result in read 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 a diameter of
12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of
8 cm, even with an adapter.
The variety of data media, burners and burn
software means there is no guarantee that
the system will be able to play discs that you
have copied yourself. DVD playback conditions
If video DVDs do not conform to the NTSC or
PAL TV standards, they may create picture,
sound or other problems during playback.
COMAND is capable of playing back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
R Region code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
R PAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i If you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, a message to this effect
appears. i
COMAND is set to region code 1 at the
factory. This setting can be changed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. It is also
possible to play video DVDs with a different
region code, provided that they are
produced in accordance with the PAL or
NTSC TV standard. The region code can be
changed up to five times. Control options
There are four control menus available in
video DVD mode.
Most DVDs have their own control menu.
