General notes
The TV tuner is designed to receive analogue
terrestrial TV channels (all standards) and
digital TV channels conforming to the DVB-T
standard 8
.
Automatic picture shutoff If the vehicle is travelling faster than approx-
imately 6 km/h, the picture and teletext in TV
mode on the driver's side automatically
switch off. The following message appears in
the display:
In order not to distract
the driver, the picture is faded out
while the vehicle is in motion . As
soon as the vehicle speed drops below about
3 km/h, the picture switches back on again.
Switching off the picture and sound The constantly changing reception conditions
while the vehicle is in motion can interrupt the
signal. If the reception is too poor, COMAND
may switch off the sound and freeze or hide
the picture. In this case, you will see the
respective symbol in the display. TV menu overview
