!
Your CD changer has been designed to
play CDs which correspond to the
IEC 60908 standard. You can therefore
only
use CDs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. ones that
have data on both sides (one side with DVD
data, the other side with audio data), they
cannot be ejected and will damage the CD
changer.
Do not use CDs with a diameter of 8 cm.
Attempting to play CDs with a diameter of
8 cm or playing such CDs with an adapter may
cause damage to the CD changer. Such
damage is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm.
Should excessively high or low temperatures
occur while in CD changer mode, a message
will appear in the display, and the CD will be
muted until the temperature has reached an
acceptable level for the system to continue
operation.
Tips on handling CDs
R Only touch the CDs at the edges.
R Handle CDs carefully to prevent
interference during playback.
R Avoid scratches, fingerprints and dust on
the CDs.
R The CDs must only be labeled using pens
specially designed for this purpose.
R Clean CDs from time to time with a
commercially available cleaning cloth.
Never wipe the CD in a circular motion;
instead, wipe it in a straight line starting in
the center and moving outward. Do not use
solvents, anti-static sprays, etc. for
cleaning.
R Replace the CD in its case after use.
R Protect CDs from heat and direct sunlight. Notes about MP3 mode The CD changer can play audio CDs as well
as CDs with MP3/WMA files.
i
Due to the branched data structure,
playback of the first track may be delayed
slightly.
Permissible media for MP3/WMA files
R CD-R
R CD-RW
Permissible file systems
R ISO9660/Joliet for CDs
Multisession CDs
For multisession CDs, the first session type
of the CD determines how the audio system
will process the CD.
For example, if the first session type is
according to the audio CD standard and the
second session type is according to the data
CD standard containing MP3/WMA tracks,
the audio system will treat the CD as a
conventional audio CD. This means that it is
only possible to access the audio CD tracks.
Access to the MP3/WMA tracks is not
possible.
Similarly,

if the first session type is according
to the data CD standard containing MP3/
WMA tracks and the second session type is
according to the audio CD standard, the audio
system will treat the CD as a data CD. This
means that it is only possible to access the
MP3/WMA tracks. Access to the audio CD
tracks is not possible.
File structure on a disc
When you create an MP3/WMA disc, the
MP3/WMA tracks can be organized in
folders.
A folder can also contain other folders.
A disc can contain a maximum of 255 folders.
A folder can contain a maximum of 255 tracks
and 255 subfolders. 132
