DVD playback conditions
There are video DVDs available on the market
which do not conform to the current
standards.
Such DVDs may have picture, sound or other
playback problems.
The Rear Seat Entertainment System can play
back video DVDs produced according to the
following standards:
R
region code 2 (for Europe) or region code 0
(no region code)
R
PAL or NTSC standard
You will generally find the relevant details
either on the DVD itself or on the DVD case.
i
If you insert a video DVD with a different
region code, you will see a message to this
effect.
i
The Rear Seat Entertainment System is
set to region code 2 at the factory. This
setting can be changed at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. This will allow you
to play video DVDs with a different region
code, provided that they are produced in
accordance with the PAL or NTSC TV
standard.
Playback problems may occur when
playing copied discs. There is a large variety
of discs, DVD authoring software, writing
software and writers available. This variety
means that there is no guarantee that the
Rear Seat Entertainment System will be
able to play video DVDs that you have
copied yourself.
