DVD Playback Conditions

Some DVDs may not comply with the
NTSC or PAL TV playback standards.
Sound, picture and other playback prob-
lems may occur when you play such DVDs.
As standard, COMAND can play video
DVDs which meet the following criteria:
Region code 1 or region code 0 (no re-
gion code)
i
With a video DVD having another region
code, a corresponding message will be dis-
played.
PAL or NTSC TV standard
Information on this can usually be found ei-
ther on the DVD itself or on the DVD
sleeve.
i
The factory setting for COMAND is region
code 1. An authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
can change this setting. This will enable you to
play video DVDs with other region codes, provid-
ed that they have been made to the PAL or NTSC
TV standard.
