The signal processing required for the volume and tone settings is accomplished by the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3). If the vehicle is also equipped with the amplifier for the sound system (N40/3) (Sound System (code 810)) it provides for final application of the audio signals.
Audio sources are:
^ Radio
^ CD player
^ 6-disk CD changer (code 819)
Service sources include:
^ Voice output for navigation
^ Telephone
^ Traffic announcement
Volume
Different volume settings can be made for navigation and telephone. A common setting applies to all other modes. The set volume is automatically stored by the COMAND operating, display and control unit for the mode active at any given time. The volume of navigation instructions can only be adjusted during the output of an instruction.
Automatic volume control
The automatic volume control regulates the volume
^ depending on speed (in vehicles without sound system) or the interior noise in the vehicle (in vehicles with sound system) and for
^ additional parameters such as window open or closed.
Volume setting
The volume can be adjusted with the rotary pushbutton on the COMAND operating, display and control unit for each selected audio source as well as for voice output during navigation and in telephone mode.
The volume can also be controlled with the + and - buttons on the multifunction steering wheel when set to specific functions and volume control (S111s1)
After switching on again, the volume may be quieter than when switched off.
It is quieter if
^ the COMAND operating, display and control unit was switched off for longer than 15 minutes and
^ the volume was set to a value within a specific range (e.g. too loud) before switching off.
Muting
Pressing the "Speaker symbol" function key activates or deactivates the mute function.
If the mute function is switched on, then only traffic announcements and navigation instructions are audible.
Tone setting
The COMAND operating, display and control unit allows manual tone settings for each audio source.
The tone settings include:
