i Please note the following: for the opti-
mum audio experience for all passengers when Logic7
®
is switched on, the balance
should be set to the center of the vehicle
interior.
You will achieve the best sound results by
playing high-quality audio and video DVDs.
MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at least
128 kbit/s.
Surround sound playback does not func-
tion for mono signal sources, such as for
AM radio mode.
If radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel,
you should switch off Logic7 ®
, since it may
otherwise switch dynamically between
stereo and mono and cause temporary
sound distortions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from conven-
tional stereo playback.
i The Logic7
Logic7 ® ®
On
On function creates a sur-
round sound experience for every
passenger when playing stereo recordings,
for example. It enables optimum playback
of music and films on CD, audio DVD or
video DVD with multichannel audio for-
mats, such as MLP, dts or Dolby Digital.
This results in sound characteristics like
those intended by the sound engineer
when the original was recorded.
i If you select Logic7
Logic7 ® ®
Off
Off, the sound sys-
tem plays the tracks as stored on the
medium. Due to the design of the
passenger compartment, an optimum
audio experience cannot be guaranteed for
all passengers. 32
