Overview and operation

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Media overview
You can access various types of media from all
operating positions in the vehicle.
The media can be connected to any available
jacks in the vehicle or inserted into the various
drives.
RIf media from different sources are used, they
can be used separately from each of the oper- ating positions. Example: a film from the DVD
drive is played on the rear right-hand operat-
ing position. This means that another film
from the same DVD cannot be played sepa-
rately on the rear left-hand operating position. However, it is possible to use the radio, mem-
ory card, Media Register, Media Interface,
USB, online and Internet functions or AUX at
the same time from the rear left-hand oper-
ating position.
RIf you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings. The "last one wins" principle applies
here, i.e. the last setting activated is favored.
RThe Internet can be used separately at all
operating positions.
RThe Internet can only be used if it is set up and
connected via a telephone (Ypage 142). You can select from the following media:

Notes on copyright
Audio or video files that you create or reproduce
yourself for playback are generally subject to
copyright protection.
In many countries, reproductions, even for pri-
vate use, are not permitted without the prior
consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply with
these.
Notes on CDs/DVDs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
Discs with copy protection are not compatible
with the audio CD standard and therefore may
not be able to be played.
