TV-mode, function

The rear screen of the rear entertainment system is used for TV reception. A DVD player is also installed in the rear entertainment system. TV reception is activated via the control panel of the TV tuner (A2/42). The system can also be controlled from all rear seats by infrared remote control (IR). The TV tuner (A2/42) is accommodated in the rear entertainment system on the headliner behind the front seats.

The audio signals are preamplified and can be received via wired headphones and wireless infrared headphones. In combination with the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3), the audio signals may also be output over the vehicle speakers. The required tone settings (e.g. bass, treble) can then be made on the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3).
