Music on CDs with high-resolution surround formats such as MLP, DTS or Dolby Digital are played back optimally. The LOGIC7® distributes the 5.1 surround infor-mation over the 13-channel system architecture to provide the optimum sound experience on all seats. This produces the sound characteristic as intended by the sound engineer during the origi-nal recording.Harman/kardon LOGIC7® converts all two-chan-nel stereo sound material into multi-channel sur-round sound. The surround information stored during the original recording is read out using LOGIC7® and likewise distributed over the 13 channels. No effects are created during this process; only that which was already there be-comes audible.In addition, harman/kardon LOGIC7® moves the perceived sound source away from the individual loudspeakers, thus generating a natural 360° sound experience for each passenger.iBy selecting “LOGIC7® OFF”, all compatible formats are played back as they are present on the medium. Due to the vehicle’s spatial charac-teristics, an optimal sound experience is not en-sured on all seats.iDiscs supporting the above mentioned audio formats display the following logos:țDolby DigitalțDTSțMLP୴୴

There is a risk of exposure to invisible laser radiation if you open the casing, or if the casing is faulty or damaged.The single CD player and the CD changer* do not contain any parts that you are able to maintain yourself. For safety reasons, all maintenance work must be carried out by qualified technicians.Warning! GOnly carry out the following when the vehi-cle is stationary:țInserting a discțEjecting a discThere is a risk of accident by being distract-ed from road and traffic conditions if you load a CD while the vehicle is in motion.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate-ly 14 m) every second.iAudio CDs with copy protection are not compatible with the CD audio standard and therefore may not be able to be played by the single CD player and/or the CD changer*.There may be playback problems when playing copied discs.There is a large variety of discs, disc-writing soft-ware and writers available. This variety means that there is no guarantee that the system will be able to play discs that you have written/copied yourself.There may be playback problems if you use CD-R or CD-RW type discs you have copied yourself with a storage capacity of more than 700 MB. These CDs are not compatible with currently ap-plicable standards.!If you affix stickers to the CDs, they can be-come warped due to the heat that develops in the CD drive or CD changer*.In certain situations, the CDs can then no longer be ejected and cause damage to the drive.

Never wipe the CD in a circular motion; instead, wipe it in a straight line start-ing in the center and moving outward. Do not use solvents, anti-static sprays, etc. for cleaning.țReplace the CD in its case after use.țProtect CDs from heat and direct sunlight.!Your CD drive or CD changer* has been de-signed to play CDs which correspond to the EN 60908 standard. You can therefore only use CDs with a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm.If you insert thicker discs, e.g. ones that have data on both sides (one side with DVD data, the other side with audio data), they cannot be eject-ed and will damage the drive.

For example, if the first session type is ac-cording to the audio CD standard and the second session type is according to the data CD standard containing MP3 tracks, the audio system will treat the CD as a con-ventional audio CD. This means that it is only possible to access the audio CD tracks. Access to the MP3 tracks is not possible. Similarly, if the first session type is accord-ing to the data CD standard containing MP3 tracks and the second session type is according to the audio CD standard, the audio system will treat the CD as a data CD. This means that it is only possible to access the MP3 tracks. Access to the au-dio CD tracks is not possible.File structure on a discWhen you create an MP3 disc, the MP3 tracks can be organized in folders. A folder can also contain other folders. A disc can contain a maximum of 255 folders. Each folder can contain a maximum of 255 tracks and 255 folders. A disc can contain a maximum of 4000 tracks. Usual-ly this number will not be reached because each minute of an MP3 track requires ap-proximately 1 MB of storage space.Track and folder namesWhen you create an MP3 disc, you can as-sign names to the MP3 tracks and folders. The audio system uses these names for the corresponding display in MP3 mode. Empty folders or folders which contain data other than MP3 tracks are not dis-played by the audio system.If MP3 files are saved in the root directory itself (uppermost directory on storage me-dium), the root directory will also be treat-iDue to the branched data structure, play-back of the first track may be delayed slightly.

It provides a convenient way to re-place up to three hand-held remote con-trols used to operate devices such as garage door openers, gate openers, or oth-er devices compatible with HomeLink® or some other systems.Before the integrated remote control can be used, it must be programmed to the ga-rage door opener, gate operator or other device you wish to operate. See the follow-ing instructions for programming informa-tion.Interior rear view mirror with integrated remote control1Indicator lamp2 3 4Signal transmitter buttonNeeded for programming (not part of vehi-cle equipment):5Hand-held remote control of ga-rage door opener, gate operator or other device6Hand-held remote control buttonWarning! GBefore programming the integrated remote control to a garage door opener or gate operator, make sure people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent po-tential harm or damage. When programming a garage door opener, the door moves up or down. When programming a gate operator, the gate opens or closes. Do not use the integrated remote control with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object – signaling the door to stop and reverse – does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards.When programming a garage door opener, park the vehicle outside the garage. ୴୴

312Controls in detailUseful featuresProgramming integrated remote con-trolStep 1:̈Switch on the ignition (୴page 82).Step 2:̈If you have previously programmed a signal transmitter button and wish to retain its programming, proceed to step 3.If you are programming the integrated remote control for the first time, press and hold the two outer signal transmit-ter buttons 2 and 4 and release them only when indicator lamp 1 be-gins to flash after approximately 20 seconds (do not hold the button for longer than 30 seconds). This proce-dure erases any previous settings for all three channels and initializes the memory.If you later wish to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two signal transmitter buttons, do not repeat this step and be-gin directly with step 3.Step 3:̈Hold the end of hand-held remote control 5 of the device you wish to train approximately 2 to 5 in (5 to12 cm) away from the signal trans-mitter button (2, 3 or 4) to be pro-grammed, while keeping indicator lamp 1 in view.Step 4:̈Using both hands, simultaneously press hand-held remote control button 6 and the desired signal trans-mitter button (2, 3 or 4). Do not release the buttons until step 5 is com-pleted.Indicator lamp 1 will flash, first slowly and then rapidly.Step 5:̈After indicator lamp 1 changes from a slow to a rapidly flashing light, release the hand-held remote control button and the signal transmitter button.Step 6:̈Press and hold the just-trained signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4) and observe indicator lamp 1.If indicator lamp 1 stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the respective signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4) is pressed and re-leased.Do not run the engine while programming the integrated remote control. Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause unconsciousness and possible death.iIndicator lamp 1 flashes immediately the first time the signal transmitter button is pro-grammed. If this button has already been pro-grammed, the indicator lamp will only start flashing after 20 seconds.୴୴

314Controls in detailUseful featuresIf you live in Canada or if you are having difficulties programming a gate operator (regardless of where you live) by using the programming procedures, replace step 4 with the following:Step 4:̈Press and hold the signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4). Do not release this button until it has been successful-ly trained.̈While still holding down the signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4), “cycle” your hand-held remote control button 6 as follows: Press and hold button 6 for 2 seconds, then release it for 2 seconds, and again press and hold it for 2 seconds. Repeat this se-quence on the hand-held remote con-trol until the frequency signal has been learned. Upon successful training, indi-cator lamp 1 will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds.̈Proceed with programming step 5 and step 6 to complete.Reprogramming a single signal trans-mitter buttonTo program a device using a signal trans-mitter button previously trained, follow these steps:̈Switch on the ignition (୴page 82).̈Press and hold the desired signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4). Do not release the button.̈Indicator lamp 1 will begin to flash af-ter 20 seconds. Without releasing the signal transmitter button, proceed with programming starting with step 3.Operation of integrated remote control̈Switch on the ignition (୴page 82).̈Select and press the appropriate inte-grated signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4) to activate the remote con-trolled device.The integrated remote control trans-mitter continues to send the signal as long as the button is pressed – up to 20 seconds.Erasing integrated remote control memorÿSwitch on the ignition (୴page 82).̈Simultaneously press and hold outer signal transmitter buttons 2 and 4, for approximately 20 seconds, until indicator lamp 1 flashes rapidly. Do not hold for longer than 30 seconds.The codes of all three channels are erased.iUpon completion of programming the inte-grated remote control, make sure you retain the hand-held remote control that came with the ga-rage door opener, gate operator or other device. You may need it for use in other vehicles, for fu-ture programming of an integrated remote con-trol, or simply for continued use as a hand-held remote control to operate the respective device in other situations.iIf you sell your vehicle, erase the codes of all three channels.

315Controls in detailUseful featuresProgramming tipsIf you are having difficulty programming the integrated remote control, here are some helpful tips:țCheck the frequency of hand-held re-mote control 5 (typically located on the reverse side of the remote). The in-tegrated remote control is compatible with radio-frequency devices operating between 280-390 MHz.țPut a new battery in hand-held remote control 5. This will increase the likeli-hood of the hand-held remote control sending a faster and more accurate sig-nal to the integrated remote control.țWhile performing step 3, hold hand-held remote control 5 at differ-ent lengths and angles from the signal transmitter button (2, 3 or 4) you are programming. Attempt varying an-gles at the distance of 2 to 5 in (5 to 12 cm) away or the same angle at varying distances.țIf another hand-held remote control is available for the same device, try the programming steps again using that other hand-held remote control. Make sure new batteries are in the hand-held remote control before beginning the procedure.țStraighten the antenna wire from the garage door opener assembly. This may help improve transmitting and/or receiving signals.iCertain types of garage door openers are in-compatible with the integrated remote control.
