General 

The DVD drive of the COMAND controller unit supports playback of video DVDs. Here, the video image is shown on the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8) once the "VIDEO" menu and then the "DVD" submenu have been activated.

The system can be operated using the:

• Audio/COMAND control panel (A40/9)
• Control buttons on the COMAND controller unit

Function sequence 

The DVD player can be used to read out and decode DVD videos. The COMAND controller unit transmits the picture data to the Audio/ COMAND display via a low voltage differential signal (LVDS) line. The "DVD menu" and the "Title menu" are stored on the DVD. Audio signals are amplified within the COMAND controller unit and processed accordingly for the stored tone settings.

The audio signals are transmitted by the COMAND controller unit in vehicles with code (810) Sound system to the sound system amplifier control unit (N40/3) over the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST).

From there, the audio signals are transmitted via discrete lines to the following speakers:

• Left front door speaker (H4/1)
• Right front door speaker (H4/2)
• Left rear door speaker (H4/3)
• Right rear door speaker (H4/4)
• Center instrument panel speaker (H4/27)
• Bass speaker (H4/29)
• Left rear surround speaker (H4/54)
• Right rear surround speaker (H4/57)

In vehicles except code (810) Sound system, the audio output takes place directly from the COMAND controller unit via discrete lines to the following speakers:

• Left front door speaker
• Right front door speaker
• Left rear door speaker
• Right rear door speaker
• Center instrument panel speaker

The DVD Video picture is available up to a speed of 5 km/h. Only acoustic playback remains active while driving. For safety reasons a warning is shown in the Audio/COMAND display.
