Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs,

as they could peel off and damage
COMAND. Stickers can cause the disc to
bend, which can result in read errors and
disc recognition problems.

!

COMAND is designed to accommodate

discs which comply with the EN 60908
standard. You can therefore 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
cannot be ejected and can damage
COMAND.
Use round discs with a diameter of 12 cm.
Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm,
even with an adapter.

DVD playback conditions

If video DVDs do not conform to the NTSC or
PAL TV standards, they may create picture,
sound or other problems during playback.
COMAND can play back video DVDs
produced according to the following
standards:

R

region code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)

i

If you insert a video DVD with a different

region code, you will see a message to this
effect.

R

PAL or NTSC standard

You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.

COMAND is set to region code 1 at the

factory. This setting can be changed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. This will
allow you to play video DVDs with a
different region code, provided that they
are produced in accordance with the PAL
or NTSC standard. The region code can be
changed up to five times.
