Notes on copyright

Audio/video files that you create or repro-

duce yourself for playback are generally sub-

ject to copyright protection.
In many countries, reproductions, even for

private use, are not permitted without the

prior consent of the copyright holder.
Make sure that you know about the applicable

with these.

Notes on CDs/DVDs

COMAND is designed to play discs that

comply with the EN 60908 standard. There-

fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-

mum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that

contain data on both sides (DVD on one

side and audio data on the other), they can-

not be ejected and can damage the device.
Only use round discs with a diameter of

12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of

8 cm, even with an adapter.

Discs with copy protection are not compati-

ble with the audio CD standard and therefore

may not be able to be played by COMAND.
Playback problems may occur when playing

copied discs.
There may be playback problems if you play

CDs that you have copied yourself with a stor-

age capacity of more than 700 MB.

COMAND is able to play back audio CDs in

multichannel audio format.

Inserting and removing a disc from

the single CD/DVD drive

Before inserting or removing a CD/DVD,

ensure that the cup holder is empty.

To insert: press the

button on the

single drive.

If there is a disc already inserted, it will be

ejected.

Insert a disc into the disc slot with the prin-

ted side facing upwards.

The drive closes and the disc is played.
If the CD/DVD is operated in Media mode,

the corresponding basic menu will be

shown. If the CD/DVD is started using

another application (e.g. navigation), the

display will not change.

The drive may not be able to play discs

with copy protection.

To remove: press the

button.

The drive ejects the disc.

Remove the ejected disc from the slot.

If you do not take the disc out of the slot, it

is drawn in again automatically after a short

while.
