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.
i
Video DVDs differ from recordable DVD-
R and DVD-RW discs.
i
There may be playback problems when
playing copied DVDs.
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.
Some DVDs may not comply with the NTSC
or PAL TV playback standards. Sound, picture
and other playback problems may occur
when you play such DVDs.
COMAND can playback video DVDs meeting
the following requirements:
R
Correct regional code
R
NTSC or PAL TV standard
The appropriate information is usually given
either on the DVD or the DVD box. The factory
setting of COMAND is regional code 1. This
setting can only be changed five times at
most by an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. This will allow you to playback video
DVDs with other regional codes, as long as
they comply with the NTSC or PAL TV
standard.
