Installing the speakers on a wall  
Caution  
• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used.  
• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach  
the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where  
reinforcement is applied.  
• Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or  
improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.  
Before installing the front speakers of BDV-E500W on a wall, you need to disassemble the speakers.

Step 2: Connecting the System  
For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages.  
Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the unit to a wall outlet (mains) until all the other

Note  
• When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a  
level where sound is not distorted.  
Connecting the speakers  
The connector of the speaker cords and the color tube are color-coded depending on the type of speaker.  
Connect the speaker cords to match the color of the SPEAKER jacks of the unit.  
Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with  
the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #. Do not catch the speaker cord  
insulation (rubber covering) in the speaker terminals.

• Depending on the input stream, the decoding mode may not be effective.  
• When changing the decoding mode while using the S-AIR receiver, sound from the S-AIR receiver may skip.  
Tip  
• The system memorizes the last decoding mode selected for each function.  
Whenever you select a function such as “BD/DVD” or “TUNER FM,” the decoding mode that was last applied to  
the function is automatically applied again. For example, if you select “BD/DVD” with “PRO LOGIC” as the  
decoding mode, then change to another function, and then return to “BD/DVD,” “PRO LOGIC” will be applied  
again.

On operation  
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm  
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture  
may condense on the lenses inside the unit. Should  
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In  
this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned  
on for about half an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
Additional Information  
Precautions  
On safety  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects  
filled with liquids, such as vases, on the system, or  
place the system near water, such as near a bathtub or  
shower room. Should any solid object or liquid fall  
into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before operating it  
any further.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you  
don’t, the disc may be damaged.  
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and  
have it checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
On adjusting volume  
• Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with  
wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.  
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section  
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you  
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level  
section is suddenly played.  
On power sources  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do  
not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by  
the cord.  
On cleaning  
• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do  
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or  
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.  
On placement  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet  
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.  
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do  
not place the system in a confined space where  
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.  
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything  
on the system. The system is equipped with a high  
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,  
the system can overheat and malfunction.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens  
cleaners  
• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners  
(including wet or spray types). These may cause  
the apparatus to malfunction.  
On replacement of parts  
• In the events that this system is repaired, repaired  
parts may be collected for reuse or recycling  
purposes.  
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,  
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may  
block the ventilation slots.  
• Do not install the system in a confined space, such as  
a bookshelf or similar unit.  
On your TV’s color  
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have  
color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after  
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,  
place the speakers further away from the TV set.  
• Do not install the system near heat sources such as  
radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or  
shock.  
• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is  
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.  
• Keep the system and discs away from components  
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or  
large loudspeakers.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: This system is capable of holding a still  
video image or on-screen display image on your  
television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still  
video image or on-screen display image displayed  
on your TV for an extended period of time you risk  
permanent damage to your television screen.  
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to  
this.  
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.

On moving the system  
Before moving the system, make sure that there is no  
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains  
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).  
Notes about the Discs  
On handling discs  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
About S-AIR function  
• As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio  
waves, heed the following:  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
– Sound may skip when radio waves are obstructed.  
This is a characteristic of radio waves and is not  
malfunction.  
– Equipment that generates electromagnetic energy,  
such as a microwave oven, may interfere with  
sound transmission.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or  
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in  
a car parked in direct sunlight as the  
temperature may rise considerably inside the  
car.  
• As the S-AIR function uses the radio waves that share  
the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as  
wireless LAN or Bluetooth, interference or poor  
transmission may result. In this case, take the  
following steps:  
– Do not install the system near other wireless  
systems.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
– Do not use the system and the other wireless  
systems at the same time.  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning  
cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• The transmission distance differs depending on the  
usage environment. Find a location where  
transmission between the S-AIR main unit and sub  
unit is most effective, and install the S-AIR main unit  
and sub unit there.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for vinyl LPs.  
This system can only playback a standard  
circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular  
discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause  
a malfunction.  
Do not use a disc that has a commercially  
available accessory attached, such as a label or  
ring.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
Version 2, June 1991  
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.  
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA  
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this  
license document, but changing it is not allowed.  
Preamble  
The Licenses for most software are designed to take away your  
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public  
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change  
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This  
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software  
Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors  
commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software  
is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You  
can apply it to your programs, too.  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not  
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that  
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and  
charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or  
can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use  
pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these  
things.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid  
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.  
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you  
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether  
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you  
have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the  
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know  
their rights.  
US

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,  
and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to  
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.  
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If  
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,  
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in  
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those  
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you  
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based  
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of  
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the  
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote  
it.  
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain  
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free  
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on,  
we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original,  
so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the  
original authors’ reputations.  
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software  
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free  
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the  
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any  
patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.  
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your  
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise  
the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works  
based on the Program.  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the  
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on  
a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other  
work under the scope of this License.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and  
modification follow.  
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND  
CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND  
MODIFICATION  
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,  
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the  
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of  
the following:  
0. This License applies to any program or other work which  
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be  
distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The  
“Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a  
“work based on the Program” means either the Program or any  
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work  
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with  
modifications and/or translated into another language.  
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term  
“modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.  
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-  
readable source code, which must be distributed under the  
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily  
used for software interchange; or,  
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three  
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your  
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete  
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to  
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a  
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,  
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the  
offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This  
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution  
and only if you received the program in object code or  
executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection  
b above.)  
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not  
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of  
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the  
Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the  
Program (independent of having been made by running the  
Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s  
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you  
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an  
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep  
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence  
of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a  
copy of this License along with the Program.  
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for  
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source  
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any  
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control  
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special  
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that  
is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the  
major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating  
system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself  
accompanies the executable.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and  
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a  
fee.  
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any  
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy  
and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of  
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these  
conditions:  
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering  
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent  
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as  
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not  
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.  
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices  
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.  
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that  
in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or  
any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all  
third parties under the terms of this License.  
c) If the modified program normally reads commands  
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started  
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to  
print or display an announcement including an appropriate  
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or  
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may  
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling  
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the  
Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such  
an announcement, your work based on the Program is not  
required to print an announcement.)  
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program  
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt  
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program  
is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this  
License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,  
from you under this License will not have their licenses  
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.  
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not  
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify  
or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions  
are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any  
work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this  
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,  
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.  
US

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the  
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the  
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program  
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any  
further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights  
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance  
by third parties to this License.  
NO WARRANTY  
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF  
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE  
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY  
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE  
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/  
OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS”  
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER  
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT  
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND  
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU  
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,  
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.  
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent  
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent  
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,  
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this  
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this  
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously  
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent  
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the  
Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit  
royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who  
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only  
way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain  
entirely from distribution of the Program.  
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW  
OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT  
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY  
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED  
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,  
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE  
OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT  
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING  
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY  
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE  
PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER  
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under  
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to  
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other  
circumstances.  
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any  
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any  
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the  
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is  
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made  
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed  
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that  
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to  
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot  
impose that choice.  
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY  
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH  
DAMAGES.  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs  
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest  
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it  
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under  
these terms.  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to  
be a consequence of the rest of this License.  
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in  
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,  
the original copyright holder who places the Program under this  
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation  
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in  
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License  
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this  
License.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to  
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey  
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the  
“copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.  
<one line to give the program’s name and an idea of what it does.>  
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>  
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new  
versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such  
new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but  
may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify  
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published  
by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or  
(at your option) any later version.  
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the  
Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to  
it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms  
and conditions either of that version or of any later version published  
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a  
version number of this License, you may choose any version ever  
published by the Free Software Foundation.  
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but  
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty  
of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  
PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.  
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License  
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software  
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-  
1307, USA.  
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free  
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the  
author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted  
by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software  
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our  
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free  
status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the  
sharing and reuse of software generally.  
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper  
mail.  
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this  
when it starts in an interactive mode:  
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author  
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for  
details type ‘show w’. This is free software, and you are welcome to  
redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.  
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the  
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the  
commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and  
‘show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever  
suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or  
your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program,  
if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:  
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the  
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser  
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is  
quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this  
license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries  
into non-free programs.  
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the  
program ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at compilers) written  
by James Hacker.  
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using  
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a  
combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary  
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the  
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General  
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with  
the library.  
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989  
Ty Coon, President of Vice  
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your  
program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine  
library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary  
applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the  
GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.  
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it  
does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the ordinary General  
Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less  
of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These  
disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public  
License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides  
advantages in certain special circumstances.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this  
license document, but changing it is not allowed.  
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to  
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it  
becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs  
must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free  
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this  
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software  
only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.  
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts  
as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence  
the version number 2.1.]  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your  
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public  
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change  
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free  
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of  
free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in  
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU  
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating  
system.  
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some  
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the  
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  
You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about  
whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the  
better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the  
explanations below.  
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the  
users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked  
with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that  
program using a modified version of the Library.  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,  
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure  
that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and  
charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or  
can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use  
pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you  
can do these things.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and  
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a  
“work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The  
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter  
must be combined with the library in order to run.  
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND  
CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND  
MODIFICATION  
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other  
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder  
or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the  
terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called “this  
License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid  
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these  
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you  
if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or  
for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you.  
You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source  
code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide  
complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them  
with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling  
it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.  
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data  
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs  
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.  
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work  
which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based on the  
Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under  
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a  
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated  
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is  
included without limitation in the term “modification”.)  
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the  
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal  
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.  
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there  
is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by  
someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what  
they have is not the original version, so that the original author’s  
reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced  
by others.  
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for  
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code  
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any  
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control  
compilation and installation of the library.  
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of  
any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot  
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a  
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any  
patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent  
with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not  
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of  
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output  
from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work  
based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool  
for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does  
and what the program that uses the Library does.  
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or  
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable  
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you  
accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable  
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of  
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for  
software interchange.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s  
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided  
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy  
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep  
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence  
of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with  
the Library.  
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from  
a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source  
code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the  
source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the  
source along with the object code.  
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the  
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being  
compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the  
Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the  
Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and  
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a  
fee.  
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any  
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy  
and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of  
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these  
conditions:  
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library  
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it  
contains portions of the Library), rather than a “work that uses the  
library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section  
6 states terms for distribution of such executables.  
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.  
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices  
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.  
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no  
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.  
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a  
table of data to be supplied by an application program that  
uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the  
facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to  
ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such  
function or table, the facility still operates, and performs  
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.  
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has  
a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the  
application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any  
application-supplied function or table used by this function must  
be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root  
function must still compute square roots.)  
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file  
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a  
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.  
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked  
without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold  
for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.  
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure  
layouts and assessors, and small macros and small inline functions  
(ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is  
unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work.  
(Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library  
will still fall under Section 6.)  
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may  
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.  
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,  
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.  
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or  
link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce a  
work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work  
under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit  
modification of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse  
engineering for debugging such modifications.  
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If  
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the  
Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and  
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do  
not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate  
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a  
whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of  
the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose  
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the  
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by  
this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work  
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the  
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference  
directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one  
of these things:  
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and  
thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.  
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your  
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise  
the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works  
based on the Library.  
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding  
machine-readable source code for the Library including  
whatever changes were used in the work (which must be  
distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is  
an executable linked with the Library, with the complete  
machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as object  
code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the  
Library and then relink to produce a modified executable  
containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the  
user who changes the contents of definitions files in the  
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the  
application to use the modified definitions.)  
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the  
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time  
a copy of the library already present on the user’s computer  
system, rather than copying library functions into the  
executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified  
version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the  
modified version is interface-compatible with the version that  
the work was made with.  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the  
Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a  
volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other  
work under the scope of this License.  
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General  
Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the  
Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this  
License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public  
License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version  
than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has  
appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.)  
Do not make any other change in these notices.  
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that  
copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all  
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.  
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the  
Library into a program that is not a library.

c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least  
three years, to give the same user the materials specified in  
Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of  
performing this distribution.  
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under  
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to  
apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other  
circumstances.  
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy  
from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the  
above specified materials from the same place.  
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these  
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.  
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any  
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any  
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the  
integrity of the free software distribution system which is  
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made  
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed  
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that  
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to  
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot  
impose that choice.  
For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the  
Library” must include any data and utility programs needed for  
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,  
the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is  
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major  
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on  
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies  
the executable.  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to  
be a consequence of the rest of this License.  
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain  
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the  
original copyright holder who places the Library under this  
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation  
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in  
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License  
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this  
License.  
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license  
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally  
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you  
cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that  
you distribute.  
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the  
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library  
facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a  
combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the  
work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is  
otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:  
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new  
versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.  
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,  
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same  
work based on the Library, uncombined with any other  
library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of  
the Sections above.  
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact  
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining  
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the  
same work.  
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library  
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and  
“any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and  
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by  
the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a  
license version number, you may choose any version ever published  
by the Free Software Foundation.  
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free  
programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with  
these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software  
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to  
the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions  
for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of  
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute  
the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any  
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or  
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate  
your rights under this License. However, parties who have  
received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not  
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in  
full compliance.  
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software  
and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.  
NO WARRANTY  
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not  
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify  
or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are  
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by  
modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the  
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so,  
and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or  
modifying the Library or works based on it.  
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF  
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY,  
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE  
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES  
PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY  
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,  
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS  
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO  
THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS  
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE,  
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY  
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.  
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the  
Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the  
original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the  
Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not  
impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the  
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing  
compliance by third parties with this License.  
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW  
OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT  
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY  
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED  
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,  
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE  
OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT  
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING

infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent  
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,  
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this  
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this  
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously  
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent  
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the  
Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit  
royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive  
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you  
could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely  
from distribution of the Library.

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries  
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest  
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software  
that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by  
permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under  
the terms of the ordinary General Public License).

To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is  
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most  
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should  
have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full  
notice is found.

BD-ROM  
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory)  
are commercially produced discs and are  
available in the same capacities as the BD  
below. Other than conventional movie and video  
contents, these discs have enhanced features  
such as interactive content, menu operations  
using pop-up menus, selection of subtitle  
display, and slideshow. Although a BD-ROM  
may contain any form of data, most BD-ROM  
discs will contain movies in High Definition  
format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD  
players.  
Glossary  
AVCHD  
The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital  
video camera format used to record SD  
(standard definition) or HD (high definition)  
signals of either the 1080i specification* or the  
720p specification** on DVDs, using efficient  
data compression coding technology. The  
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to  
compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or  
Linear PCM system is used to compress audio  
data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is  
capable of compressing images at higher  
efficiency than that of the conventional image  
compression format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264  
format enables a high definition (HD) video  
signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to  
be recorded on DVD discs in the same way as it  
would be for a standard definition (SD)  
television signal.  
Blu-ray Disc (BD)  
A disc format developed for recording/playing  
high-definition (HD) video (for HDTV, etc.),  
and for storing large amounts of data. A single  
layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a  
dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of  
data.  
DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)  
In collaboration with Sony Pictures  
* A high definition specification that utilizes 1080  
effective scanning lines and the interlace format.  
**A high definition specification that utilizes 720  
effective scanning lines and the progressive format.  
Entertainment, Sony measured the sound  
environment of their studios and integrated the  
data of the measurement with Sony DSP (Digital  
Signal Processor) technology to develop  
“Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital Cinema  
Sound” simulates in a home theater an ideal  
movie theater sound environment based on the  
preference of the movie director.  
BD-J application  
The BD-ROM format supports Java for  
interactive functions.  
“BD-J” offers content providers almost  
unlimited functionality when creating  
interactive BD-ROM titles.  
Digital Cinema Auto Calibration  
Digital Cinema Auto Calibration was developed  
by Sony to automatically measure and adjusts  
the speaker settings to your listening  
BD-R  
BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a  
recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc, available  
in the same capacities as the BD below. Since  
contents can be recorded and cannot be  
overwritten, a BD-R can be used to archive  
valuable data or storing and distributing video  
material.  
environment in a short period of time.  
Dolby Digital  
This movie theater sound format is more  
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In  
this format, the surround speakers output stereo  
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a  
subwoofer channel for deep bass is  
independently provided. This format is also  
called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel  
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions  
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six  
channels in this format are recorded separately  
for superior channel separation. Furthermore,  
BD-RE  
BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a  
recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc,  
available in the same capacities as the BD  
below. The re-recordable feature makes  
extensive editing and time-shifting applications  
possible.

DTS  
since all the signals are processed digitally, less  
signal degradation occurs.  
Digital audio compression technology  
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology  
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format  
comprises of stereo rear channel and there is  
discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS  
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high  
quality digital audio. The good channel  
separation is realized due to the all channel data  
being recorded discretely and processed in  
digitally.  
Dolby Digital Plus  
Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, the  
audio coding technology supports 7.1 multi-  
channel surround sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth  
output channels from 2 channel sources. This is  
done using an advanced, high-purity matrix  
surround decoder that extracts the spatial  
properties of the original recording without  
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
Developed as an extension to DTS Digital  
Surround format. It supports a maximum  
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-  
channel surround.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a  
maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with  
lossy compression (Lossy).  
x Movie mode  
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television  
shows and all programs encoded in Dolby  
Surround. The result is enhanced sound field  
directionality that approaches the quality of  
discrete 5.1-channel sound.  
DTS-HD Master Audio  
x Music mode  
DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum  
transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses  
lossless compression (Lossless), and DTS-HD  
Master Audio corresponds to a maximum  
sampling frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum  
of 7.1ch.  
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music  
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound  
space.  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic  
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four  
channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with  
the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby  
Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right  
panning more naturally and localizes sounds  
more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby  
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of  
surround speakers and a center speaker. The  
surround speakers output monaural sound.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface)  
HDMI is an interface that supports both video  
and audio on a single digital connection,  
allowing you to enjoy high quality digital  
picture and sound. The HDMI specification  
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection), a copy protection  
technology that incorporates coding technology  
for digital video signals.  
Dolby TrueHD  
Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology  
that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel  
surround sound for the next generation optical  
discs. The reproduced sound is true to the  
original source bit-for-bit.  
Interlace format  
(Interlaced scanning)  
The Interlace format is the NTSC standard  
method for displaying TV images at 30 frames  
per second. Each frame is scanned twice -  
alternately between the even numbered scanning  
lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at  
60 times per second.  
LTH (Low to High)  
LTH is a recording system that supports organic  
pigment type BD-R.

Parental Control  
range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and  
Medical band), such as wireless LANs and  
Bluetooth applications.  
A function of the BD/DVD to limit playback of  
the disc by the age of the users according to the  
limitation level in each country. The limitation  
varies from disc to disc; when it is activated,  
playback is completely prohibited, violent  
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes  
and so on.  
x.v.Color  
x.v.Color is a familiar term for the xvYCC  
standard proposed by Sony.  
xvYCC is an international standard for Color  
space in video.  
PhotoTV HD  
This standard can express a wider color range  
than the currently used broadcast standard.  
“PhotoTV HD” allows for a highly-detailed  
pictures, and photo-like expression of subtle  
textures and colors. By connecting Sony  
“PhotoTV HD” compatible devices using an  
HDMI cable, whole new world of photos can be  
enjoyed in breathtaking Full HD quality. For  
instance, the delicate texture of the human skin,  
flowers, sand and waves can now be displayed  
on a large screen in beautiful photo-like quality.  
24p True Cinema  
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24  
frames per second.  
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and  
flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50  
second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at  
an even pace.  
When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities,  
the player displays each frame at 1/24 second  
intervals — the same interval originally shot  
with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing  
the original cinema image.  
Pop-up menu  
An enhanced menu operation available on BD-  
ROMs. The pop-up menu appears when POP  
UP/MENU is pressed during playback, and can  
be operated while playback is in progress.  
Progressive format  
(sequential scanning)  
In contrast to the Interlace format, the  
progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames  
per second by reproducing all scanning lines  
(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall  
picture quality increases and still images, text  
and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format  
is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive  
format.  
S-AIR  
(Sony Audio Interactive Radio  
frequency)  
Recent times have seen the rapid spread of BD/  
DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other  
high-quality media.  
To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high-  
quality media are transmitted with no  
deterioration, Sony has developed a technology  
called “S-AIR” for the radio transmission of  
digital audio signals with no compression, and  
has incorporated this technology into the EZW-  
RT10/EZW-RT10A/EZW-T100.  
This technology transfers digital audio signals  
with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band
