COMAND introduction
Adjusting balance or fader
Balance is used to determine whether the
sound focus should be shifted toward the
driver’s side or the passenger’s side.
Fader is used to determine whether the
sound focus should be shifted toward the
front or rear of the vehicle
Select “Sound”
“Balance/Fader”.
The setting last selected is indicated by
an outlined bar.
Adjusting balance and fader
1Current setting indicated by orange
cross-hair symbol
Changing setting: Slide rmq or omp
until desired balance/fader setting is
reached.
Exiting menu: Press n or L.
The setting is saved.
Surround sound
With surround sound, you can choose be-
tween “LOGIC7
® ON” and “LOGIC7® OFF”.
Harman/kardon LOGIC7
® surround sound
is available for the following operating
modes:

Audio DVD (MLP, DTS, PCM, and Dolby
Digital audio formats)

Audio CD

MP3

Radio (FM, AM, WB,
Satellite (USA only))

PCMCIA
iSince some DVDs contain both stereo as
well as multi-channel audio formats, it may be
necessary to adapt the audio format
(
page 119).
iThe “LOGIC7® ON” function of the har-
man/kardon LOGIC7® surround sound system
makes it possible to play discrete 5.1 and stereo
recordings with optimal surround sound for ev-
ery passenger. Music on CDs or audio DVDs with
high-resolution surround formats such as MLP,
DTS or Dolby Digital is played back optimally.
For an ideal sound experience on all seats,
LOGIC7
® distributes 5.1 surround information
via the 13-channel system architecture. The re-
sult is a sound as intended by the sound engi-
neers during the original recording.
harman/kardon LOGIC7
® converts all two-chan-
nel stereo sound material into multi-channel sur-
round sound. With the help of LOGIC7
®,
surround information stored during the original
recording are read out and distributed through
the 13 channels. No effects are created during
this process; only that which was already there
becomes audible.
In addition, harman/kardon LOGIC7
® moves the
perceived sound source away from the individual
loudspeakers, thus generating a natural 360°
sound experience for every passenger.

or
Load CD/DVD (page 111) or a
PCMCIA card (
page 112).
iBy selecting “LOGIC7® OFF”, all compatible
formats as they are present on the medium are
played back. Due to the vehicle’s spatial charac-
teristics, an optimal sound experience is not en-
sured on all seats.
iPlease note the following:

For an ideal sound experience at all seats,
the balance and fader should be adjusted to
the center of the passenger compartment
with LOGIC7
® switched on.

The best sound results are achieved by play-
ing high-quality audio CDs and audio DVDs.

For MP3 tracks, the bit rate should be at
least 128 kbit/s.

Surround sound does not function for
mono-signal sources.

In the event of poor radio reception quality,
e.g. inside a tunnel, you should switch off
LOGIC7
®, as a dynamic switch from Stereo
to Mono could occur, resulting in temporary
sound distortion.

With some stereo recordings, the resulting
sound may deviate from conventional stereo
playback.
iWhen you insert an audio CD or audio DVD,
it automatically becomes the active audio
source.
