i Please note the following: for the
optimum audio experience for all passengers when Logic7
®
is switched on,
the balance should be set to the center of
the vehicle interior.
You will achieve the best sound results by
playing high-quality audio and video DVDs.
MP3 tracks should have abit rate of at least
128 kbit/s.
Surround sound playback does not
function for mono signal sources, such as
for AM radio mode.
If radio receptio nis poor, e.g. in a tunnel,
you should switch off Logic7 ®
, since it may
otherwise switch dynamically between
stereo and mono and cause temporary
sound distortions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from
conventional stereo playback.
i The Logic7 ®
On function creates a
surround sound experience for every
passenger when playing stereo recordings,
for example. It enables optimum playback
of music and films on CD, audio DVD or
video DVD with multichannel audio
formats, such as MLP, dts or Dolby Digital.
This results in sound characteristics like
those intended by the sound engineer
when the original was recorded.
i If you select Logic7 ®
Off , all permissible
formats are played as stored on the
medium. Due to the design of the
passenger compartment, an optimum
audio experience cannot be guaranteed for
all passengers. At
