General notes
i Audio CDs with copy protection are not
compatible with the CD audio standard and
therefore may not be able to be played by
the single CD player and/or the CD
changer. There may be playback problems
when playing copied discs.
There is a large variety of discs, disc-writing
software 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.
There may be playback problems if you use
CD-R or CD-RW type discs you have copied
yourself with a storage capacity of more
than 700 MB. These CDs are not
compatible with currently applicable
standards.
! Do not affix stickers or labels to the CDs,
they can become warped due to the heat
that develops in the CD drive or CD
changer.
In certain situations, the CDs can then no
longer be ejected and cause damage to the
drive. Such damage is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
! Your CD drive or CD changer has been
designed to play CDs which correspond to
the IEC 60908 standard. You can therefore
only use CDs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.
g. ones that
have data on both sides (one side with DVD
data, the other side with audio data), they
cannot be ejected and will damage the
drive.
Do not use CDs with a diameter of 8 cm.
Attempting to play CDs with a diameter of
8 cm or playing such CDs with an adapter may
cause damage to the CD drive. Such damage
is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm.
Should excessively high or low temperatures
occur while in CD changer mode, a message
will appear in the display, and the CD will be
muted until the temperature has reached an
acceptable level for the system to continue
operation.
