File structure of a data carrier When you create a disc with compressed
music files, the tracks can be organized in
folders. A folder may also contain subfolders.
The disc may contain no more than eight
directory levels. Files beyond the eighth level
will not be recognized by the system.
i COMAND supports up to 50,000 files
from one data medium. For data media with
more than 64 GB, only files in the following
folders are supported: music, pictures, vid-
eos.
Track and file names When you create a disc with compressed
music files, you can assign names to the
tracks and folders.
If MP3 or WMA files are stored in the root
directory itself, the root directory will also be
treated as a folder.
You should observe the following when
assigning track names:
R track names must have at least one char-
acter.
R track names must have the ending of a
supported audio/video format, e.g. mp3,
aac or m4v.
R there must be a dot between the track
name and the extension.
Example of a correct track name:
"Track1.mp3".

Your COMAND equipment
These operating instructions describe all
standard and optional equipment available
for your COMAND system at the time of pur-
chase. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Please note that your COMAND system may not be equipped with all the features
described. This also applies to safety-relevant
systems and functions. Therefore, the equip-
ment on your COMAND system may differ
from that in the descriptions and illustrations. Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Rear Seat Entertainment System
overview
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product. If you open the housing of the CD/DVD drive,
there is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation. This laser radiation could damage
your retina. There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have main-
tenance and repair work carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If objects such as headphones/headsets or
external audio/video sources are not secured in the passenger compartment, they can be
flung around and hit vehicle occupants. There
is a risk of injury, for example in the event of
sudden braking or a sudden change in direc-
tion.
Always stow these items or similar objects
carefully so that they cannot be flung around, for example in a lockable vehicle stowage
compartment. Components
The Rear Seat Entertainment System
includes:
R two screens for the rear behind the front-
seat head restraints
R two remote controls for the rear compart-
ment
R a CD/DVD drive in the rear compartment
R AUX jacks
R two USB ports
R two sets of cordless headphones General notes
R You can only adjust the volume for the
headphones supplied, directly on the head-
phones.
R If media from different sources are used,
they can be used separately from each of
the operating positions. Example: a film
from the DVD drive is played on the rear
right-hand operating position. This means
that another film from the same DVD can-
not be played separately on the rear left-
hand operating position. However, on the
rear left-hand operating position, it is pos-
sible to use the radio, TV, memory card,
MUSIC REGISTER, media interface, USB,
online and Internet functions or AUX.
R If you use the same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings. The "last one wins" principle applies
here, i.e. the last setting activated is
favored.
R The Internet can be used separately at all
operating positions.
R The Internet can only be used if it is set up
and connected via a telephone
(Y page 173). 260
