Important safety notes

WARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product.
If you open the housing of the CD/DVD drive,
invisible laser beams may be released. These
laser beams may damage your retina. There is
a risk of injury.
You must not open the casing. Always have
maintenance work and repairs carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING
Handling discs while driving will distract you
from traffic conditions. You could then lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Handle discs only when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/h,
your vehicle is already covering a distance of
14 m per second.
Notes on discs
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage
COMAND Online. Stickers can cause the
disc to bend, which can result in read errors
and disc recognition problems.
! COMAND Online is designed to play discs
which comply with the EN 60908 standard.
Therefore, you can only use discs with a
maximum 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.
You may encounter playback problems when
playing copied discs. There are a large variety
of discs, DVD authoring software, writing
software and writers available. This variety
means that there is no guarantee that the
system will be able to play discs that you have
copied yourself.
DVD playback requirements
There are video DVDs available on the market
that do not conform to the current standards.
Such DVDs may have picture, sound or other
playback problems.
COMAND Online is capable of playing back
video DVDs produced according to the fol-
lowing standards:
Region code 2 (for Europe) or region code 0
R
(no region code)
PAL or NTSC standard
R
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i
If you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, you will see a message to this
effect.
i
COMAND Online is set to region code 2 at
the factory. This setting can be changed at
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. This will
allow you to play video DVDs with a differ-
ent region code, provided that they are pro-
duced in accordance with the PAL or NTSC
standard. The region code can be changed
a maximum of five times.
Function restrictions
Depending on the DVD, it is possible that cer-
tain functions or actions will be temporarily
blocked or may not function at all. As soon as
you try to activate these functions or actions,
you will see the K symbol in the display.
Inserting and removing DVDs
Proceed as described in the "Inserting and
