i Please bear the following in mind:
R For the optimum audio experience for all
passengers when LOGIC7 ®
is switched
on, the balance and fade should be set to
the centre of the passenger compart-
ment.
R You will achieve the best sound results
by playing high-quality audio and video
DVDs.
R MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at
least 128 kbit/s.
R Surround-sound playback does not work
for mono signal sources, such as the
medium waveband in radio mode.
R If the radio reception is poor, e.g. in a
tunnel, you should switch off LOGIC7 ®because it may otherwise switch auto-
matically between stereo and mono and
therefore distort the sound temporarily.
R On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from conven-
tional stereo playback.
Switching an audio/video source on or
off If you load a CD or DVD, the audio/video
source is automatically activated.

only the brightness of the multi-function
display is adjusted with control :.
Display design When the default settings are selected, the
display automatically switches between day
design and night design.
You can change these settings using
COMAND (Y
page 161). SPLITVIEW*
SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side.
Depending on the viewing angle of the display
(from the driver's seat or from the front-
passenger seat), you will see two different
displays.
For example, the "Navi" function can be used
from the driver's side while the "Video" func-
tion is used on the front-passenger side.
To operate COMAND from the front-
passenger side with SPLITVIEW, use the remote control and the special infrared head-
phones for the front passenger.
Please bear the following in mind: R
Volume adjustment on the headphones for
the front-passenger side can only be car-
ried out on the headphones. Before putting
on the headphones, make certain that the
volume has not been set too high.
R You can only use media from the driver's
and front-passenger sides separately if the
media are from different sources. Example:
on the driver's side, an audio CD is being
played on the DVD changer*. This means
that on the front-passenger side, the DVD
changer* cannot be used to play a different
medium, for instance a video DVD. How-
ever, other media can be used at the same
time on the front-passenger side, including
radio, memory card, MUSIC REGISTER*,
Media Interface*, USB or AUX*.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings.
R There must be intervisibility between the
headphones and the display so that
COMAND can optimally transmit music and
speech via the infrared signal on the front-
passenger's headphones. For this reason,
please also observe that the headphones
have left and right sides, and use them cor-
rectly.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio,
TV* and video, may be used separately with
SPLITVIEW.
R The multi-function steering wheel can only
used for functions which relate to the driv-
er's side. Introduction
