General notes

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 recogni-
tion problems.
! COMAND is designed to play discs that
comply with the EN 60908 standard. There-
fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-
mum 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 can-
not 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, writers and writing
software means that COMAND may not be
able to play discs that you have copied your-
self.

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

Region code 1 or region code 0 (no region
R

You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
If you insert a video DVD with a different
i
region code, a message to this effect
appears.
COMAND is set to region code 1 at the
i
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 pro-
