COMAND searches for stations with ade-
quate reception. The available stations are
automatically stored in the preset posi-
tions. RDS frequency diversity
COMAND is equipped with an RDS frequency
diversity system in the FM waveband. The
system consists of a listening receiver and a
monitoring receiver.
i The frequency diversity system only func-
tions for stations which transmit RDS data.
The monitoring receiver constantly scans the
FM waveband and collects data from all the
stations which can be received, e.g. reception
quality and RDS data. COMAND stores the
data and constantly updates it. The listening
receiver is therefore able to switch instanta-
neously to an alternative frequency with a
better signal.
The Frequency fix function prevents
COMAND from switching between the alter-
native frequencies of a station. This is useful,
for example, when there is a noticeable time
offset between the frequencies or if there is
interference on a frequency.

DAB 6
(Digital Audio Broadcasting) is an opti-
mised digital transmission standard designed
for the mobile reception of radio transmis-
sions. Several programmes are combined
into so-called ensembles and transmitted on
one single frequency. Digital radio stations
can be transmitted nationally, regionally or
locally.
Digital stations are selected and saved in the
same way as analogue stations. The following
section therefore lists only those features
specific to DAB. Some stations only transmit programmes at
certain times. If you have selected a station
that is subsequently removed from the
ensemble, it will no longer be received. You
will continue to receive the other pro-
grammes in the ensemble. Select either a dif-
ferent programme or a different ensemble. Switching to DAB radio mode

Safety notes
G
Risk of injury
COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser prod-
uct. You must not open the casing. There is a
risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation if
you open the casing or if the casing is faulty
or damaged.
COMAND does not contain any parts that can
be serviced by the user. For safety reasons,
all maintenance work must be carried out by
qualified aftersales technicians. G
Risk of accident
Inserting or ejecting discs while driving may
distract you from the traffic conditions,
thereby causing an accident. Only insert or
eject a disc when the vehicle is stationary. Notes on MP3 mode
Permissible discs R
CD-R and CD-RW
R DVD+R and DVD+RW

Permissible file systems R

R FAT16 or FAT32 for storage media
Multisession CDs For multisession CDs, the content of the first
session determines how COMAND will proc-
ess the CD.
If the first session contains data in audio CD
format, for example, and the second session
contains MP3 tracks, COMAND will treat the
CD as a conventional audio CD. This means
that it is not possible to access the MP3
tracks.
If the first session contains MP3 tracks, for
example, and the second session contains
data in audio CD format, COMAND will treat
the CD as an MP3 disc. This means that it is
not possible to access the audio CD tracks.Audio CD/audio DVD* and MP3

File structure of a disc
When you create a disc with music files, the
tracks can be organised in folders. A disc can
contain a maximum of 4,000 tracks.
The disc may contain no more than eight
directory levels. Files beyond the eighth level
will not be recognised by the system.
Track and file names When you create a disc with music files, you
can assign names to the tracks and folders.
COMAND uses these names accordingly for
the display. Empty folders or folders which
contain data other than MP3 or WMA tracks
are not displayed by COMAND.
If MP3 or WMA files are stored in the root
directory itself, the root directory will also be
treated as a folder. COMAND will then show
the name of the root directory as the folder
name.
You must observe the following when assign-
ing track names:
R title names must have at least one charac-
ter.
R title names must have the extension "mp3"
or "wma".
R there must be a full stop between the track
name and the extension.
example of a correct track name:
Track1.mp3.
Permissible formats COMAND supports the following formats:
R MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) 7
R Microsoft Windows Media Audio (WMA) V2,
V7, V8 or V9 without copy protection Bit and sample rates MP3
COMAND supports MP3 files of the following
types:
R
fixed and variable bit rates of 32 kbit/ sup
to 320 kbit/s
R sampling rates of 24 kHz to 48 kHz
WMA
COMAND supports WMA files of the following
types:
R fixed bit rates of 5 kbit/s up to
384 kbit/s
R sampling rates of 8 kHz to 48 kHz
COMAND does not support WMA files of the
following types:
R DRM (Digital Rights Management) encryp-
ted files
R variable bit rate
R lossless settings
R WMA Pro
R 5.1 Surround
i Only use tracks with a bit rate of at least
128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least
44.1 kH z.Lower rates cause a noticeable
deterioration in quality. This is especially
the case if you have activated a surround
sound function*.
Notes on copyright MP3 or WMA tracks that you create or play-
back are generally subject to copyright pro-
tection in accordance with the applicable
international and national regulations.
In many countries, reproductions, even for
private use, are not permitted without the
prior consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply
with these.

If you own these rights yourself, e.g. for your
own compositions and recordings, or if the
copyright holder has granted you permission,
these restrictions do not apply. Notes on CDs and DVDs
i Discs with copy protection are not com-
patible with the audio CD standard and it
may therefore not be possible for COMAND
to play them.
There may be playback problems when
playing copied discs. There are a large vari-
ety of discs, disc-writing software and writ-
ers available. This variety means that there
is no guarantee that the system will be able
to play discs that you have copied yourself.
There may be playback problems if you play
CDs that you have copied yourself with a
storage capacity of more than 700 MB.
i On many audio DVDs, the last track does
not contain any music and COMAND
switches to the next disc. This behaviour is
system-related and is not a malfunction.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs
as they could peel off and damage
COMAND. Stickers can also cause the disc
to bend, which can result in read errors and
disc recognition problems.
COMAND is designed to hold discs which
comply with the EN 60908 standard. There-
fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-
mum 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.
Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm,
even with an adapter. Only use round discs
with a diameter of 12 cm.
R Only hold discs by the edge.
R Handle discs carefully to prevent reading
errors. R
Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on discs.
R Clean discs from time to time with a com-
mercially available cleaning cloth. Do not
wipe them with a circular motion, but only
in straight lines from the centre outwards.
R To label discs, only use a pen designed for
such a purpose.
R Place discs back in their cases after use.
R Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight. Loading and removing CDs/DVDs
If the CD/DVD has a printed side, this must
face upwards when the CD/DVD is inserted.
If neither side is printed, the side to be played
should face downwards.
