8 bit color depth in the YCbCr 4:4:4 or RGB formats, the  
players supporting Deep Color can transmit a video  
signal with a color bit depth of greater than 8 bits per  
color component. Subtle color gradations can be  
reproduced when connected to a TV that supports Deep  
Color.  
High Speed HDMI™ cables are tested to carry signals up  
to 1080p. 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 720/50p, 1080/24p, 1080/60i,

About PQLS function  
The PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a transfer  
control technology using the KURO LINK function. The  
player’s output signals are controlled from the AV  
receiver or amplifier to achieve high quality sound  
playback using the quartz oscillator of AV receiver or  
amplifier. This eliminates the influence of the jitter  
generated upon transfer which can adversely affect the  
sound quality.  
Auto-select function  
The input switches automatically on the Flat Screen TV,  
AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.) and HD AV  
Converter when playback is started on the player or the  
Home Menu or Home Media Gallery is displayed. When  
the input is switched, the playback picture, the Home  
Menu or Home Media Gallery appears on the Flat Screen  
TV.  
• The player supports the “PQLS 2ch Audio” function  
that is only activated when playing audio CDs (CD-  
DAs), and the “PQLS Multi Surround” function that is

with audio output in linear PCM.  
Simultaneous power function  
When playback on the player is started or the Home Menu  
or Home Media Gallery is displayed, if the Flat Screen TV’s  
power was off, its power turns on automatically. When the  
Flat Screen TV’s power is turned off, the player’s power  
automatically turns off.

About the frame/field frequency  
and NTSC/PAL TV systems  
U.K., Australia and New Zealand models: By factory default  
setting, the frame/field frequency is set for an output of  
50 Hz, and the video signal output from the VIDEO output  
terminals is set to be output in the PAL TV system format.  
When sources with a frame/field frequency of 60 Hz or  
24 Hz are played, the output frame/field frequency  
automatically switches to 60 Hz (or 24 Hz for HDMI,  
depending on the setting), and the TV system format for  
the video signal output from the VIDEO output terminals  
depends on the NTSC on PAL TV setting.  
• Even if Auto or Source Direct is selected, 720/24p  
video signals are output at 60 frames/second.  
Others: By factory default setting, the frame/field  
frequency is set for an output of 60 Hz, and the TV system  
format for the video signal output from the VIDEO output  
terminals depends on the NTSC on PAL TV setting. When  
sources with a frame/field frequency of 50 Hz are played,  
the output frame/field frequency automatically switches  
to 50 Hz, and the video signal output from the VIDEO  
output terminals is set to be output in the PAL TV system  
format.  
When playback is stopped, the frame/field frequency and  
TV system settings remain at the settings last used. The  
frame/field frequency and TV system settings do not  
change even when the power is turned off. They only  
switch when a video material with a different frame/field  
frequency is played.  
If the picture is not displayed on the TV when a source  
with a different frame/field frequency is played, use the  
procedure below to switch the frame/field frequency and  
TV system settings for the signal output from the player.

About the output video resolution

The output video resolution setting and the resolution of the picture that is actually output differ for the different  
terminals. See the table below. The table below shows the output video resolution for the different terminals when the  
frame/field frequency of the playback source is 50 Hz on the upper line, the resolutions when the source’s frame/field  
frequency is 60 Hz and 24 Hz on the lower line.

Introduction  
The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive  
packages; some of them may contain, in addition to the  
FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions  
which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.  
This license applies to all files found in such packages, and  
which do not fall under their own explicit license. The  
license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test  
programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very least.  
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG  
(Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage  
inclusion and use of free software in commercial and  
freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main points  
are that:  
These conditions apply to any software derived from or  
based on the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified  
files. If you use our work, you must acknowledge us.  
However, no fee need be paid to us.  
3. Advertising  
Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you  
shall use the name of the other for commercial,  
advertising, or promotional purposes without specific  
prior written permission.  
We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more  
of the following phrases to refer to this software in your  
documentation or advertising materials: ‘FreeType  
Project’, ‘FreeType Engine’, ‘FreeType library’, or  
‘FreeType Distribution’.

As you have not signed this license, you are not required  
to accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is  
 
copyrighted material, only this license, or another one  
contracted with the authors, grants you the right to use,  
distribute, and modify it. Therefore, by using,  
distributing, or modifying the FreeType Project, you  
indicate that you understand and accept all the terms of  
this license.  
product, acknowledgment is not required but would be  
appreciated.  
A “png_get_copyright” function is available, for convenient  
use in “about” boxes and the like:  
printf(“%s”,png_get_copyright(NULL));Also, the PNG logo  
(in PNG format, of course) is supplied in the files  
pngbar.png” and “pngbar.jpg (88x31) and “pngnow.png”

aren’t implemented yet. For legal reasons, we are not  
distributing code for the arithmetic-coding variants of  
JPEG; see LEGAL ISSUES. We have made no provision for  
supporting the hierarchical or lossless processes defined  
in the standard.  
07  
We provide a set of library routines for reading and writing  
JPEG image files, plus two sample applications “cjpeg” and  
“djpeg”, which use the library to perform conversion  
between JPEG and some other popular image file formats.  
The library is intended to be reused in other applications.  
In order to support file conversion and viewing software, we  
have included considerable functionality beyond the bare  
JPEG coding/decoding capability; for example, the color  
quantization modules are not strictly part of JPEG  
decoding, but they are essential for output to colormapped  
file formats or colormapped displays. These extra functions  
can be compiled out of the library if not required for a  
particular application. We have also included jpegtran, a  
utility for lossless transcoding between different JPEG  
processes, and “rdjpgcom” and “wrjpgcom”, two simple  
applications for inserting and extracting textual comments  
in JFIF files.  
The emphasis in designing this software has been on  
achieving portability and flexibility, while also making it fast  
enough to be useful. In particular, the software is not  
intended to be read as a tutorial on JPEG. (See the  
REFERENCES section for introductory material.) Rather, it  
is intended to be reliable, portable, industrial-strength  
code. We do not claim to have achieved that goal in every  
aspect of the software, but we strive for it.

OVERVIEW  
This package contains C software to implement JPEG  
image compression and decompression. JPEG  
(pronounced “jay-peg”) is a standardized compression  
method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is  
intended for compressing real-world scenes; line drawings,  
cartoons and other non-realistic images are not its strong  
suit. JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not  
exactly identical to the input image. Hence you must not  
use JPEG if you have to have identical output bits. However,  
on typical photographic images, very good compression  
levels can be obtained with no visible change, and  
remarkably high compression levels are possible if you can  
tolerate a low-quality image. For more details, see the  
references, or just experiment with various compression  
settings.  
This software implements JPEG baseline, extended-  
sequential, and progressive compression processes.  
Provision is made for supporting all variants of these  
processes, although some uncommon parameter settings  
49  
En  
It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG  
spec is covered by patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and  
Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be  
used without obtaining one or more licenses. For this  
reason, support for arithmetic coding has been removed  
from the free JPEG software. (Since arithmetic coding  
provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman  
mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will  
support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no patent  
restrictions on the remaining code.  
The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and  
write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW  
patent, GIF reading support has been removed altogether,  
and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce  
uncompressed GIFs. This technique does not use the LZW  
algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but  
are readable by all standard GIF decoders.  
text version at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jfif.txt.gz, but it  
is missing the figures.  
this point it is unclear whether SPIFF will supersede JFIF or  
whether JFIF will remain the de-facto standard. IJG intends  
to support SPIFF once the standard is frozen, but we have  
not decided whether it should become our default output  
format or not. (In any case, our decoder will remain capable  
of reading JFIF indefinitely.)  
Various proprietary file formats incorporating JPEG  
compression also exist. We have little or no sympathy for  
the existence of these formats. Indeed, one of the original  
reasons for developing this free software was to help force  
convergence on common, open format standards for JPEG  
files. Don’t use a proprietary file format!  
07  
The TIFF 6.0 file format specification can be obtained by FTP  
from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/TIFF6.ps.gz. The JPEG  
incorporation scheme found in the TIFF 6.0 spec of 3-June-  
92 has a number of serious problems. IJG does not  
recommend use of the TIFF 6.0 design (TIFF Compression  
tag 6). Instead, we recommend the JPEG design proposed  
by TIFF Technical Note #2 (Compression tag 7). Copies of  
this Note can be obtained from ftp.sgi.com or from ftp://  
ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/. It is expected that the next  
revision of the TIFF spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design  
with the Note’s design. Although IJG’s own code does not  
support TIFF/JPEG, the free libtiff library uses our library to  
implement TIFF/JPEG per the Note. libtiff is available from  
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/.  
TO DO  
The major thrust for v7 will probably be improvement of  
visual quality. The current method for scaling the  
quantization tables is known not to be very good at low Q  
values. We also intend to investigate block boundary  
smoothing, “poor man’s variable quantization”, and other  
means of improving quality-vs-file-size performance  
without sacrificing compatibility.  
In future versions, we are considering supporting some of  
the upcoming JPEG Part 3 extensions --- principally,  
variable quantization and the SPIFF file format.  
As always, speeding things up is of great interest.  
Please send bug reports, offers of help, etc. to jpeg-  
ARCHIVE LOCATIONS  
We are required to state that  
The “official” archive site for this software is ftp.uu.net  
(Internet address 192.48.96.9). The most recent released  
version can always be found there in directory graphics/  
jpeg. This particular version will be archived as ftp://  
ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz. If you don’t  
have direct Internet access, UUNET’s archives are also  
available via UUCP; contact help@uunet.uu.net for  
information on retrieving files that way.  
Numerous Internet sites maintain copies of the UUNET  
files. However, only ftp.uu.net is guaranteed to have the  
latest official version.  
You can also obtain this software in DOS-compatible “zip”  
archive format from the SimTel archives (ftp://  
ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/), or on  
CompuServe in the Graphics Support forum (GO  
CIS:GRAPHSUP), library 12 JPEG Tools. Again, these  
versions may sometimes lag behind the ftp.uu.net release.  
The JPEG FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article is a  
useful source of general information about JPEG. It is  
updated constantly and therefore is not included in this  
distribution. The FAQ is posted every two weeks to Usenet  
newsgroups comp.graphics.misc, news.answers, and  
other groups. It is available on the World Wide Web at http:/  
/www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/ and other news.answers  
archive sites, including the official news.answers archive at  
rtfm.mit.edu: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/  
jpeg-faq/. If you don’t have Web or FTP access, send e-mail  
to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with body

property of CompuServe Incorporated. GIF(sm) is a  
Service Mark property of CompuServe Incorporated.”  
REFERENCES  
We highly recommend reading one or more of these  
references before trying to understand the innards of the  
JPEG software.  
The best short technical introduction to the JPEG  
compression algorithm is  
Wallace, Gregory K. “The JPEG Still Picture Compression  
Standard”,  
Communications of the ACM, April 1991 (vol. 34 no. 4),  
pp. 30-44.  
(Adjacent articles in that issue discuss MPEG motion  
picture compression, applications of JPEG, and related  
topics.) If you don’t have the CACM issue handy, a  
PostScript file containing a revised version of Wallace’s  
article is available at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/  
wallace.ps.gz. The file (actually a preprint for an article that  
appeared in IEEE Trans. Consumer Electronics) omits the  
sample images that appeared in CACM, but it includes  
corrections and some added material. Note: the Wallace  
article is copyright ACM and IEEE, and it may not be used  
for commercial purposes.  
A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to  
JPEG can be found in The Data Compression Book by Mark  
Nelson and Jean-loup Gailly, published by M&T Books (New  
York), 2nd ed. 1996, ISBN 1-55851-434-1. This book provides  
good explanations and example C code for a multitude of  
compression methods including JPEG. It is an excellent  
source if you are comfortable reading C code but don’t  
know much about data compression in general. The book’s  
JPEG sample code is far from industrial-strength, but when  
you are ready to look at a full implementation, you’ve got  
one here...

RELATED SOFTWARE  
Numerous viewing and image manipulation programs now  
support JPEG. (Quite a few of them use this library to do so.)  
The JPEG FAQ described above lists some of the more  
popular free and shareware viewers, and tells where to  
obtain them on Internet.

The best full description of JPEG is the textbook “JPEG Still  
Image Data Compression Standard” by William B.  
Pennebaker and Joan L. Mitchell, published by Van  
Nostrand Reinhold, 1993, ISBN 0-442-01272-1. Price  
US$59.95, 638 pp. The book includes the complete text of  
the ISO JPEG standards (DIS 10918-1 and draft DIS 10918-  
2). This is by far the most complete exposition of JPEG in  
existence, and we highly recommend it.  
If you are on a Unix machine, we highly recommend Jef  
Poskanzer’s free PBMPLUS software, which provides many  
useful operations on PPM-format image files. In particular,  
it can convert PPM images to and from a wide range of  
other formats, thus making cjpeg/djpeg considerably more  
useful. The latest version is distributed by the NetPBM  
group, and is available from numerous sites, notably ftp://  
wuarchive.wustl.edu/graphics/graphics/packages/  
NetPBM/. Unfortunately PBMPLUS/NETPBM is not nearly  
as portable as the IJG software is; you are likely to have  
difficulty making it work on any non-Unix machine.  
A different free JPEG implementation, written by the PVRG  
group at Stanford, is available from ftp://  
havefun.stanford.edu/pub/jpeg/. This program is designed  
for research and experimentation rather than production  
use; it is slower, harder to use, and less portable than the  
IJG code, but it is easier to read and modify. Also, the PVRG  
code supports lossless JPEG, which we do not. (On the  
other hand, it doesn’t do progressive JPEG.)

IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING

THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.  
The JPEG standard itself is not available electronically; you  
must order a paper copy through ISO or ITU. (Unless you  
feel a need to own a certified official copy, we recommend  
buying the Pennebaker and Mitchell book instead; it’s  
much cheaper and includes a great deal of useful  
explanatory material.) In the USA, copies of the standard  
may be ordered from ANSI Sales at (212) 642-4900, or from  
Global Engineering Documents at (800) 854-7179. (ANSI  
doesn’t take credit card orders, but Global does.) It’s not  
cheap: as of 1992, ANSI was charging $95 for Part 1 and $47  
for Part 2, plus 7% shipping/handling. The standard is  
divided into two parts, Part 1 being the actual specification,  
while Part 2 covers compliance testing methods. Part 1 is  
titled “Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone  
Still Images, Part 1: Requirements and guidelines” and has  
document numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-1, ITU-T T.81. Part 2 is  
titled “Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone  
Still Images, Part 2: Compliance testing” and has  
document numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-2, ITU-T T.83.  
Some extensions to the original JPEG standard are defined  
in JPEG Part 3, a newer ISO standard numbered ISO/IEC IS  
10918-3 and ITU-T T.84. IJG currently does not support any  
Part 3 extensions.  
The JPEG standard does not specify all details of an  
interchangeable file format. For the omitted details we  
follow the “JFIF” conventions, revision 1.02. A copy of the  
JFIF spec is available from:

FILE FORMAT WARS  
Some JPEG programs produce files that are not compatible  
with our library. The root of the problem is that the ISO  
JPEG committee failed to specify a concrete file format.  
Some vendors “filled in the blanks” on their own, creating  
proprietary formats that no one else could read. (For  
example, none of the early commercial JPEG

implementations for the Macintosh were able to exchange  
compressed files.)  
The file format we have adopted is called JFIF (see  
REFERENCES). This format has been agreed to by a  
number of major commercial JPEG vendors, and it has  
become the de facto standard. JFIF is a minimal or “low  
end” representation. We recommend the use of TIFF/JPEG  
(TIFF revision 6.0 as modified by TIFF Technical Note #2) for  
“high end” applications that need to record a lot of  
additional data about an image. TIFF/JPEG is fairly new and  
not yet widely supported, unfortunately.  
The upcoming JPEG Part 3 standard defines a file format  
called SPIFF. SPIFF is interoperable with JFIF, in the sense  
that most JFIF decoders should be able to read the most  
common variant of SPIFF. SPIFF has some technical  
advantages over JFIF, but its major claim to fame is simply  
that it is an official standard rather than an informal one. At  
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  
ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jfif.ps.gz. There is also a plain  
50  
En  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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.  
07  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution  
and modification follow.  
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.)  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,  
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION  
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”.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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.)  
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  
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.  
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  
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER  
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF  
SUCH DAMAGES.  
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by  
third parties to this License.  
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  
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.  
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  
51  
En  
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 a brief idea of  
what it does.>  
Copyright © <year> <name of author>  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
07  
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.  
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., 51 Franklin Street,  
Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.  
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 © 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:  
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in

compilers) written by James Hacker.

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.  
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.)  
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  
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.  
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.  
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC  
LICENSE  
Version 2.1, February 1999  
Copyright © 1991, 1999 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.  
[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.]  
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.  
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. 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.  
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.  
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.  
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”.  
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”.)  
“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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
52  
En  
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.  
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.  
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 accessors, 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.)  
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:  
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.  
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.  
NO WARRANTY

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

PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY  
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,

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.  
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,

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE  
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (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  
LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE),  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
11.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 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. 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.  
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.  
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:  
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  
<one line to give the library’s name and a brief idea of  
what it does.>

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

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.

among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this  
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the

[Notice on GNU General Public  
License]  
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.  
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.

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

Condensation  
Cautions on use  
07  
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a  
warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature  
in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly  
due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may  
form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When  
condensation is present, the player will not operate  
properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand  
at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power  
turned on (the time depends on the extent of  
Moving the player  
If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc if  
there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press  
STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby,  
checking that the POWER OFF indication on the front  
panel display goes off. Wait at least 10 seconds. Lastly,  
disconnect the power cord.  
condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and  
playback will become possible.  
Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate  
at a high speed and may be damaged.  
Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player  
is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If  
this happens, move the player to a different place.  
Place of installation  
Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to which  
the unit is connected.  
Cleaning the player  
Normally, wipe the player with a soft cloth. For tough dirt,  
apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water  
to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then  
wipe again with a dry cloth.  
Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor.  
Keep it away from cassette decks or other components  
easily affected by magnetism.  
Avoid the following types of places:  
• Places exposed to direct sunlight  
• Humid or poorly ventilated places  
• Extremely hot or cold places  
• Places subject to vibration  
• Dusty places  
Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide  
on the player could cause the print and coating to peel off.  
Also, avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact  
with the player for long periods of time, as this could  
damage the cabinet.  
When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the  
wipe’s cautions carefully.  
• Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens,  
etc.)  
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when  
cleaning the player.  
Do not place objects on top  
Do not place objects on top of the player.  
Caution for when the unit is  
installed in a rack with a glass  
door  
Do not obstruct the ventilation  
holes  
Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and  
do not cover the player with a cloth, etc. Doing so will  
prevent heat dissipation and could lead to damage.  
Do not press the OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control  
to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The  
door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the  
unit could be damaged.  
Keep away from heat  
Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other  
device generating heat. When installing in a rack, to avoid  
the heat generated by the amplifier and other devices,  
place it on a shelf below the amplifier whenever possible.  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
The player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use,  
but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust  
or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service  
center. Although lens cleaners for players are  
commercially available, we advise against using them  
since some may damage the lens.  
Turn the power off when not  
using the player  
Depending on the conditions of the TV broadcast signals,  
striped patterns may appear on the screen when the TV is  
turned on while the player’s power is turned on. This is not  
a malfunction with the player or TV. If this happens, turn  
the player’s power off. In the same way, noise may be  
heard in the sound of a radio.  
Handling discs  
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.  
Do not scratch the disc’s signal surface or let it get dirty.  
Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.  
54  
En  
                 
Do not glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a  
pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing  
instrument. These could all damage the disc.  
Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals.  
Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.  
07  
For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out  
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture  
with a dry cloth.  
Specially shaped discs  
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.)  
cannot be used on this player. Never use such discs, as  
they will damage the player.  
Storing discs  
Always store discs in their cases, and place the cases  
vertically, avoiding places exposed to high temperature or  
humidity, direct sunlight or extremely low temperatures.  
Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.  
Cleaning discs  
It may not be possible to play the disc if there are  
fingerprints or dust on it. In this case, using a cleaning  
cloth, etc., to wipe the disc gently from the center toward  
the outer edge. Do not use a dirty cleaning cloth.  
Condensation on discs  
If the disc is moved suddenly from a cold place into a  
warm room (in winter, for example), water droplets  
(condensation) may form on the disc surface. Discs will  
not play properly if there is condensation on them.  
Carefully wipe off the water droplets from the disc surface  
before using the disc.  
Troubleshooting  
Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is something wrong with this  
component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Inspect the other  
components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after checking the points  
below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.
