General notes
Notes on discs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage COMAND.
St ickers can cause the disc to bend, whic h
can result inread errors and disc recognition
problems.
!The drive is designed to accept discs which
correspond to the EN 60908 norm. You can
therefore only use discswith a maximum
thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con-
tain data on both sides (DVD on one sideand
166Video DVD mode
Media

audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the device.
Use round discs with a diameter of 12 cm. Do
not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm, even ifused in conjunction with an adapter.
The variety of discs, burners and burn software
available means there is no guarantee that the
multimedia system will be able to play discs that
you have burned yourself.
DVD playback conditions
If video DVDs do not conform to the NTSC or PAL
TV standards, they may create picture, sound or other problems during playback.
The multimedia system can play back video
DVDs produced according to the following
standards:
RRegion code 1 or region code 0 (no region
code)
RPAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details either
on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
iIf you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, a message to this effect appears.
iThe multimedia system is set to region code
1 at the factory. This setting can be changed
at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. It is
also possible to play video DVDs with a dif-
ferent region code, provided that they are
produced in accordance with the PAL or NTSC
TV standard. The region code can be changed
a maximum of four times.
Control options
There are various control menus available in
DVD video mode.
