code)
RPAL or NTSC standard

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.
