General
notes
The TV
receiver is designed to receive analogue terrestrial TV channels (all
standards) and digital TV channels conforming to the DVB-T standard
. If the reception deteriorates, the TV receiver automatically
switches to an alternative frequency transmitting the same programme content
with better reception, as soon as the reception from this alternative frequency
is stable.
Automatic
picture shutoff
If the vehicle is
travelling faster than approximately 5 km/h, the picture and
teletext automatically switch off in TV mode. The following message appears in
the display for a short time:
In
order not to distract the driver, the picture is faded out while the vehicle is
in motion. As soon as the vehicle speed drops below about
5 km/h, the picture switches back on again.
Switching off
the picture and sound
The constantly
changing reception conditions while the vehicle is in motion can interrupt the
signal. If the reception is too poor, COMAND can switch off the sound and
freeze or hide the picture. You will see corresponding symbols in the
display.

Selecting
channels from the channel list
As soon as the
vehicle or COMAND is in operation, the reception function lists the channels
that can currently be received in the channel list.
The channel list contains the
following information, if it is transmitted and can be received:
-
The names of the
channels that can be received
-
The names of the
current programmes (digital channels only)
-
Time information
for the current programmes (digital channels only)
-
Preview of the
following programmes (digital channels only)
 | |
|
The reception
function requires a certain amount of time to update this information. COMAND
can only display the information if the TV channels are transmitting it and if
the reception conditions are adequate.
|
Selecting
channels by entering the channel and programme number
| |
|
Several programmes
can be transmitted on one channel with digital TV. You can therefore enter a
channel and the desired programme on this channel. Only one programme can be
sent on a channel with analogue TV. The programme entry function therefore has
no effect.
|
| |
|
The TV receiver
always sets the channel and the programme that you have entered. You can
therefore also set channels and programmes that cannot currently be
received.
|
Storing TV
channels
There are twenty
preset positions.

Fixing the
frequency
The TV receiver may automatically switch to an alternative
channel with the same programme content but a better reception, depending on
reception quality. You can use
Channel fix to prevent
this channel switching. This is useful, for example, when there is a noticeable
time offset between the frequencies or if there is interference on a
frequency.
Setting the
reception region
The correct
reception region setting ensures that analogue TV channels can be received
correctly and with the usual quality. COMAND is set to the correct reception
region at the factory. If you are driving your vehicle in a different country
or region, you should set COMAND accordingly. A Mercedes-Benz Service Centre
can help you to select the correct reception region if necessary.
