Safety instructions
Warning
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should insert
CDs with the vehicle at a standstill and
operate the audio system only if permitted
by road, weather and traffic conditions.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every second.
G
Warning
The CD drive is a Class 1 laser product.
There is a danger of invisible laser radiation
when you open or damage the cover.
Do not remove the cover. The CD drive does
not contain any parts which can be serviced
by the user. For safety reasons, have any necessary service work performed by qualified
personnel.

Tips on data storage media
!
Do not attach labels of any type to the
CD. They may become detached and
damage the drive.
!
Your CD drive has been designed to
play CDs which correspond to the IEC
60908 standard. Therefore only CDs
not exceeeding a thickness of 1.3 mm
can be used.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g.
ones that have data on both sides (one
side with DVD data, the other side with
audio data), they will become stuck and
damage the drive.
Do not play single CDs (80mm) with an
adapter. An adapter could become
stuck and damage the drive. Only use
12 cm diameter CDs.

Tips on caring for your MP3 CDs Tips on creating MP3 CDs
Only touch the CD on the edges.
Clean the CD with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Wipe the CD a straight line from the
center. Never wipe the CD in a circular
motion.
Do not use rubbing alcohol or solvents
to clean CDs.
i
CDs, software and hardware for writing
audio data to CDs vary widely.
Therefore, we cannot guarantee that
COMAND will be able to play every
user-written CD. Problems may also be
encountered during playback of userwritten CDs with a storage capacity of

direct sunlight.
Do not write or put labels on CDs.
Permissible MP3 CDs
In MP3 mode COMAND can read CD-R and
CD-RW CDs.
Permissible file systems
The permitted file system for COMAND is
ISO9660/Joliet for CD-R and CD-RW.
Multi session CDs
Multi session CDs include mixed file types
(e.g. MP3 and audio CD) in either
successive or random order on the disc. In
MP3 mode, COMAND will integrate audio
CD tracks into the disc’s folder structure.
The CD audio track folder will appear first
followed by folders containing MP3 tracks.
66
Audio
MP3 CD operation
File structure
When creating a MP3 CD, you can organize
MP3 tracks into folders. A folder can also
contain additional folders.
A CD may have a maximum of 255 folders
in total.
A maximum of 255 tracks are permissible
per folder.
Mathematically a maximum of 65025
tracks would result. However, this amount
is usually not reached since MP3 requires
approx. 1 MB storage per minute recorded.
Track names and folder names
When creating a MP3 CD, you can assign
names to the MP3 tracks and folders.
COMAND uses these names in MP3 mode
for the corresponding display.
Please note the following when assigning
folder and track names:
Track and folder names must contain
at least 1 character.
Track names may contain up to either
thirty or fifty characters depending on
the CD format. If a name exceeds this
character limit, COMAND will not be
able to display it in full.
Track names must have the extension
“mp3”.
A period must appear between the
track name and the file extension.
Example of a correct track name:
Track1.mp3
Empty folders or folders containing data
other than MP3 or audio CD tracks will not
be displayed by COMAND.
67
Audio
MP3 CD operation
If MP3 or audio CD files are stored in the
root directory itself, the root directory also
counts as a folder. COMAND will then
display the root directory name as a folder
name.
i
COMAND does not support ID3tags.
Tips on creating MP3 tracks
Permissible MP3 formats
COMAND supports the MPEG1
AudioLayer3 format.
i
In everyday speech, this format has
been replaced by the designation
“MP3”.
Permissible bit and scan rates
Fixed and variable bit rates up to
320 kbps
Scan rates from 24 kHz - 48 kHz
i
It is recommended to use MP3 tracks
with a bit rate of128 kbps or higher and
with a scan rate of 44.1 kHz or higher.
Lower rates may impair quality. This is
particularly true if the sound function
LOGIC7 Surround
has been activated.
Tips on copyright
The music tracks that you can create for
play back in MP3 mode are generally
copyright-protected under applicable international and national laws.
In many countries, the reproduction of
copyrighted material is not permitted,
even if only for personal use, without the
express prior consent of the copyright
holder.
Please check the current copyright laws
for your country and comply with them.
These restrictions do not apply for example to your own compositions and recordings, or for recordings for which
authorization has been obtained from the
copyright holder.
