generally subject to copyright protection in
accordance with the applicable interna-
tional and national regulations.
In many countries, reproductions are not
permitted without the prior consent of the
copyright holder, not even for private use.
Make sure that you know the applicable
copyright regulations and that you comply

Notes about audio DVD operation
COMAND can playback commercially
available, prerecorded audio DVDs that
bear the following label. You will usually
find the label on the DVD booklet, the inlay,
or the DVD itself.
i
This format is generally known as “MP3”.
i
Only use MP3 tracks with a bit rate of at
least 128 kbit/s and a sampling rate of at least
44.1 kHz. Smaller rates can cause a noticeable
deterioration in sound quality. This is especially
the case if you have activated a surround sound
function.

Audio DVDs differ from recordable DVD-R
and DVD-RW discs.
