General notes
Notes on discs
!
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.
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
The multimedia system can play back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
Region code 1 or region code 0 (no region
R
code)
PAL or NTSC standard
R
You will generally find the relevant details either
on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
With DVDs that do not meet the standard
requirements, you may encounter playback
problems.

It is also possible to play video DVDs with a
R
different region code, provided that they
are produced in accordance with the PAL or
NTSC standard. If you insert a video DVD
with a different region code, a message to
this effect appears.
The multimedia system is set to region
R
code 1 at the factory. This setting can be
changed at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
