SPLITVIEW allows you to simultaneously use
different COMAND functions on the front-
passenger side and on the driver's side.
Depending on the viewing angle of the display
(from the driver's seat or from the front-
passenger seat), you will see two different
displays.116
At
ag lanceCOMAND

For example, the "Navi" function can be used
from the driver's side while the "Video"
function is used on the front-passenger side.
Use the remote control to operate COMAND
from the front-passenger side with
SPLITVIEW.
Please bear the following in mind
R You rvehicle may be equipped with
SPLITVIEW, depending on its date of
production. The use of SPLITVIEW is
currently not permitted in the following
states: AL, AZ, CO, IL, LA, MA, MD, NH, PA,
VA, VT, WA, WI, and WV or in the Canadian
provinces of Manitoba, Newfoundland,
New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.
It is the driver's responsibility to observe
ALL regional legally prescribed regulations.
If your vehicle is registered in a state or
province in which SPLITVIEW is not
approved, this function must be
deactivated. Please contact an authorized
specialist dealer to chec kwhether
SPLITVIEW is approved in your state or
province.
R Volume adjustment for the cordless
headphones can be carried out on the
headphones. Before putting on the
headphones, make sure that the volume
has not been set too high.
R The remote control can be used for the
volume adjustment of corded headphones.
R You can only use media from the driver's
and front-passenger sides separately if the
media are from different sources. Example:
on the driver's side, an audio CD is being
played by the DVD changer. This means
that on the front-passenger side, the DVD
changer cannot be used to play a different
disc type, for instance a video DVD.
However, other media can be used at the
same time on the front-passenger side,
including radio, memory card, MUSIC
REGISTER, Media Interface, USB or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
settings for this medium can be carried out
from either side. R
There must be intervisibility between the
headphones and the display so that
COMAND can optimally transmit music and
speech via the infrared signal on the front-
passenger's headphones. For this reason,
please also observe that the headphones
have left and right sides, and use them
correctly.
R Only entertainment functions, i.e. audio
and video, can be used separately via
SPLITVIEW.
R The multifunction steering wheel can only
be used for functions which relate to the
driver's side.

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
