Notes on copyright
Audio/video files that you create or reproduce
yourself for playback are generally subject to
copyright protection.
In many countries, reproductions, even for pri-
vate use, are not permitted without the prior
consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply with
these.
Notes on CDs/DVDs
!The drive is designed to accept discs which
correspond to the EN 60908 norm. You can
therefore only use discs with 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 side and
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 if
used in conjunction with an adapter.
Discs with copy protection are not compatible
with the audio CD standard and therefore may
not be able to be played.
Playback problems may occur when playing
copied discs.
There may be playback problems if you play CDs that you have copied yourself with a storage
capacity of more than 700 MB.

Gracenote®Media Database
General notes
This function is available in CD audio, MP3 and
iPod®mode.
There is a version of Gracenote®music recog-
nition technology, Emeryville, California, USA on
the hard disk of the multimedia system. You will recognize this by the logo in the bottom right-
hand corner of certain audio displays. If the
audio CD does not contain any CD text informa-
tion, the multimedia system can use the Grace-
note
®Media Database to identify unknown
audio tracks when in audio CD mode.
In addition the cover art for the main display
field, the album list and the "Select by cover"
function from the Gracenote
®Media Database
are displayed for the music files and the iPod®.
This occurs when the cover art is not contained
in the files but in the Gracenote
®Media Data-
base.
Online prompt for metadata
A connection to the Gracenote®Data Server is
made automatically when an audio CD is inser-
ted. The missing data is loaded, saved in the
multimedia system and shown on the display. If
the search for metadata is unsuccessful, no data
can be displayed. If no phone is connected or
configured for data use, this function is unavail-
able.
An Internet connection is required for this
(
Ypage 129).

CDs.
If 12 audio CDs are stored, the
REC

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.
Most DVDs have their own control menu.
The DVD's control menu is operated directly
