General information

If your vehicle is equipped with the harman/ kardon® Logic 7® surround sound system, you can set the optimum surround sound for every passenger.

The harman/kardon®Logic 7® surround sound system is available for the following operating modes:
• radio (FM only)
• satellite radio
• audio CD
• audio DVD (MLP, dts, PCM and Dolby Digital audio formats)
• MP3 (including SD memory card)
• Media Interface
• video DVD (PCM, dts and Dolby Digital audio formats)
• AUX

Because some DVDs contain both stereo and multichannel audio formats, it may be necessary to set the audio format.

The Logic7® ON function enables playback of, e.g. stereo recordings with a surround sound experience for every passenger. It enables optimum playback of music and films on CD, audio DVD or video DVD with multichannel audio formats, such as MLP, dts or Dolby Digital. This results in sound characteristics like those intended by the sound engineer when the original was recorded.

If you select LOGIC7® OFF, the sound system plays the tracks as stored on the medium. Due to the design of the passenger compartment, an optimum audio experience cannot be guaranteed for all passengers.

Discs which support the audio formats mentioned have the following logos:

MP3 tracks should have a bit rate of at least 128 kbit/s.
Surround-sound playback does not function for mono signal sources, such as AM 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 distortions.
On some stereo recordings, the sound characteristics may differ from conventional stereo playback.
