Notes about video DVD operation
COMAND can playback commercially
available, prerecorded video DVDs that bear
the following label. You will usually find the
label on the DVD booklet, the inlay, or the
DVD itself.
i Video DVDs differ from recordable DVD-
R and DVD-RW discs.
i There may be playback problems when
playing copied DVDs.
There is a large variety of discs, disc-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 written/copied yourself.
Some DVDs may not comply with the NTSC
or PAL TV playback standards. Sound, picture
and other playback problems may occur
when you play such DVDs.
COMAND can playback video DVDs meeting
the following requirements:
R Correct regional code
R NTSC or PAL TV standard
The appropriate information is usually given
either on the DVD or the DVD box. The factory
setting of COMAND is regional code 1. The
setting can be changed at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. This will allow you to
playback video DVDs with other regional
codes, as long as they comply with the NTSC
or PAL TV standard.
Notes about DVDs
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
These could peel away and damage
COMAND. COMAND is designed to hold
discs which comply with the IEC 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.
