COMAND video DVD
Automatic picture fade-out
If a video DVD is playing when the vehicle
is shifted from park position P into neutral
position N, drive position D or reverse
gear R the picture is faded out automati-
cally and the following message appears in
the display: “In order not to distract driver,
picture is faded out while the vehicle is in

When the vehicle is shifted back into park
position P, the picture comes on again.
Notes about video DVD operation
COMAND can playback commercially
available, prerecorded video DVDs that
bear the following label. You will usually
find the label on the DVD booklet, the inlay,
or the DVD itself.
Some DVDs may not comply with the
NTSC or PAL TV playback standards.
Sound, picture and other playback prob-
lems may occur when you play such DVDs.
COMAND can playback video DVDs meet-
ing the following requirements:
ț Correct regional code
ț NTSC or PAL TV standard
The appropriate information is usually giv-
en either on the DVD or the DVD box. The
factory setting of COMAND is regional
code 1. The setting can be changed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. This
will allow you to playback video DVDs with
other regional codes, as long as they com-
ply with the NTSC or PAL TV standard.
Warning! G
COMAND is classified as a Class 1 laser
product. You must not open the casing.
There is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation if you open the casing, or if the
casing is faulty or damaged.
COMAND does not contain any parts that
you are able to maintain yourself. For safety
reasons, all maintenance work must be car-
ried out by qualified technicians.

Video DVDs differ from recordable DVD-R
and DVD-RW discs.
i
There may be playback problems when play-
ing copied DVDs.
There is a large variety of discs, disc-writing soft-
ware and writers available. This variety means
that there is no guarantee that the system will be
able to play discs that you have written/copied
yourself.
