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.
