General notes
Notes on discs
!Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
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 drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even
when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
The variety of data media, writers and writing
software means that the multimedia system
may not be able to play discs that you have cop-
ied yourself.
DVD playback conditions
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.
With DVDs that do not meet the standard
requirements, you may encounter playback
problems.
iObserve the following notes:
RIt is also possible to play video DVDs with a
different region code, provided that they
are produced in accordance with the PAL or
NTSC standard. If you insert a video DVD
with a different region code, a message to
this effect appears.
RThe multimedia system is set to region
code 1 at the factory. This setting can be
changed at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. The region code can be changed up
to five times.
RIf a DVD cannot be played back according
to national color transfer methods (PAL or
NTSC standards), problems with the image,
sound or playback may occur.
Control options
There are four control menus available in video
DVD mode.
Most DVDs have their own control menu. The
DVD is operated directly using the controller or
DVD functions.
