i Please note the following: for the opti- mum audio experience for all passengers when Logic7® is switched on, the balance should be set to the centre of the vehicle interior. You will achieve the best sound results by playing high-quality audio and video DVDs. MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at least 128 kbit/s. Surround-sound playback does not func- tion for mono signal sources, such as the medium wave range (MW) in radio mode. If radio reception is poor, e.g. in a tunnel, you should switch off Logic 7®, as it may otherwise switch between stereo and mono and cause temporary sound distor- tions. On some stereo recordings, the sound characteristics may differ from conven- tional stereo playback. i The Logic7® on function creates a sur- round sound experience for every passenger when playing stereo recordings, for example. It enables optimum playback of music and films on CD, audio DVD or video DVD with multichannel audio for- mats, such as MLP, dts or Dolby Digital. This results in sound characteristics as the sound engineer intended when the original was recorded. i If you select Logic7® off, all permissible formats are played as stored on the medium. Due to the design of the passenger compartment, an optimum audio experience cannot be guaranteed for all passengers.
