Safety Instructions
GWarning
COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser
product. You must not open the casing. There
CD Audio/DVD Audio/MP3131AudioZ
There may be playback problems with
userburned CDs with a storage capacity of
more than 700 MB. These CDs do not meet
current valid standards.
i When playing a DVD Audio, it may be the
case with numerous albums that the last
track does not contain any music and
COMAND switches to the next track. This
is due to the production method and does
not imply a fault with the unit.
! Do not attach stickers or labels of any
kind to discs. They may come loose and
damage COMAND.
COMAND has been designed for discs
meeting the requirements of standard
EN 60908. Therefore, only discs with a
maximum thickness of 1.3 mm can be
used.
If a thicker disc is inserted, e.g. one which
stores data on both sides, (DVD on one
side, audio data on the other side), this
cannot be ejected and COMAND will be
damaged.
Do not use 8 cm diameter discs, not even
with an adapter. Only use round discs with
a diameter of 12 cm.
i COMAND can play CD Audio with the high
resolution surround format.
Notes on the Care of CD/DVD Discs
R Only touch the discs at the edges.
R Handle discs with care in order to prevent
malfunctions during playback.
R Avoid scratching, leaving fingerprints and
dust on the discs.
R Clean the discs occasionally with a
commercially available cleaning cloth.
Always wipe in a straight line from the
inside outwards, never in a circular motion.
R The discs must only be labelled using pens
specially designed for this purpose.
R After use, put the discs back into the box.
R Protect the discs from heat and direct
sunlight.
