Surround sound
General information
If your vehicle is equipped with the harman/
kardon
®
Logic 7 ®
surround sound system,
you can provide the optimum sound
experience for every passenger.
The harman/kardon ®
Logic7 ®
surround
sound system is available for the following
operating modes:
R radio (FM only)
R satellite radio
R audio CD
R audio DVD (MLP™, dts™, PCM and
Dolby ®
Digital audio formats)
R MP3
R Media Interface
R video DVD (PCM, dts™ and Dolby ®
Digital
audio formats)
R AUX
Because some DVDs contain both stereo and
multichannel audio formats, it may be
necessary to set the audio format
(Y page 216).
i The Logic7 ®
ON function enables
playback of stereo recordings, for instance,
with a surround sound experience for every
passenger. It enables optimum playback of
music and films on CDs, audio DVDs or
video DVDs 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 , the sound
system plays all playable formats as stored
on the medium. Due to the design of the
passenger compartment, an optimum
audio experience cannot be guaranteed for
all passengers.
i Discs which support the audio formats
mentioned have the following logos: Dolby

128 kbit/s.
Surround sound playback does not
function for mono signal sources, such as
for AM radio mode.

, 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
