Surround Sound
Your vehicle is equipped with the harman/
kardon LOGIC7 ®
Surround Sound system.
You can select between LOGIC7®
off and
LOGIC7 ®
on .
harman/kardon LOGIC7 ®
Surround Sound is
available for the following operating modes:
R Radio (FM only)
R SatRadio
R CD Audio
R DVD Audio (MLP, DTS, PCM and Dolby
Digital audio formats)
R MP3 (including PCMCIA memory card)
R AUX
R Video DVD (PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital
audio formats)
i As some DVDs contain both stereo and
multi-channel audio formats, it may be
necessary to set the audio format.
i The LOGIC7 ®
on function of the harman/
kardon LOGIC7 ®
Surround Sound system
allows playback of discrete 5.1 and stereo
recordings with an optimum surround
sound experience for each passenger. It
enables optimum playback of music and
films on CD or audio and video DVDs with
high-resolution surround formats, such as
MLP, DTS or Dolby Digital. For ideal sound
perception from all seats, LOGIC7 ®
distributes the 5.1 surround information
over the 12-channel architecture. This
results in sound characteristics like those
intended by the sound engineer when the
original was recorded.
harman/kardon LOGIC7 ®
converts each
two-channel stereo sound source into
multi-channel surround sound. LOGIC7 ®
reads the surround information stored
during the original recording and
distributes it over the 12 channels. No
effects are created during the process,
anything that was always on the recording
is just made audible again. In addition,
harman/kardon LOGIC7 ®
moves the
perceived sound source away from the
loudspeakers and thereby generates a
natural 360° sound experience for every
passenger.
i If you select LOGIC7®
off , playback of all
recognized formats is as it is on the
medium. Due to the design of the
passenger compartment, an optimum
audio experience cannot be guaranteed for
all passengers.

mentioned have the following logos:36Basic Functions of COMANDAt a Glance
