It will play the sound track from a standard video DVD - I love listening to the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels Tour DVD; it's a movie, and of course I don't get the video - but the sound track is great.
I don't know that it can play back DVD-Audio or SACD discs. DVD-A was an entirely different format from those normally found on DVD (movie) discs. If a movie was augmented with a DVD-A sound track, the DVD-A track was stored on the disc apart from the other (e.g., Dolby 5.1, etc) sound tracks. Even many home DVD players were not compatible with DVD-A or SACD formats.
my06clk is entirely correct that your car will play mp3 recorded onto DVD, and he has contributed heavily to the information on this forum - much of which is in a sticky in the Audio and Telematics forum on Benzworld, plus more in the Audio and Electronics forum here.
