Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz.
First of all, familiarize yourself with your audio

self and others.
Depending on the model and equipment level,
the functions of your audio equipment may
deviate from certain descriptions and illus-
trations.
Mercedes-Benz is constantly updating its

therefore reserves the right to introduce
changes in design, equipment and technical
features at any time.
You cannot, therefore, base any claims on the
data, illustrations or descriptions in this man-
ual.
Please consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center should you have any questions.
This manual is an integral part of the vehicle.
You should always keep it in the vehicle and
pass it on to the new owner if you sell the
vehicle.

RTo provide the optimum audio experi-
ence for all passengers when Logic 7 is
switched on, the balance should be set
to the center of the passenger compart-

RMP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at
least 128 kbit/s.
RSurround-sound playback does not func-
tion for mono signal sources, such as the
medium wave range (MW) in radio mode.
RIf radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel,
you should switch off Logic 7. Other-
wise, it may switch between stereo and
mono and cause temporary sound dis-
tortions.
ROn some stereo recordings, the sound
characteristics may differ from conven-
tional stereo playback.
