What is the AVCHD format?  
• Some AVCHD format discs may not play,  
depending on the recording condition.  
• The AVCHD format disc will not play if it has not  
been correctly finalized.  
The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital  
video camera format used to record SD (standard  
definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either  
*1  
the 1080i specification or the 720p  
*2  
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 compressing 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.  
Video Output Resolution  
Output resolution differs depending on the “Output Video Format” setting in the “Video  
Settings” setup (page 50).

About Wireless LAN  
Security  
– when “Dolby Digital”/“DTS” is set to  
“Downmix PCM” in the “Audio Settings”  
setup.  
Since communication via the wireless LAN  
function is established by radio waves, the  
wireless signal may be susceptible to  
interception. To protect wireless  
communication, this player supports various  
security functions. Be sure to correctly  
configure the security settings in accordance  
with your network environment.  
No Security  
Although you can easily make settings,  
anyone can intercept wireless  
communication or intrude into your wireless  
network, even without any sophisticated  
tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of  
unauthorized access or interception of data.  
WEP  
WEP applies security to communications to  
prevent outsiders from intercepting  
communications or intruding into your  
wireless network. WEP is a legacy security  
technology that enables older devices, which  
do not support TKIP/AES, to be connected.  
WPA-PSK (TKIP)  
TKIP is a security technology developed to  
correct for the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP  
assures a higher security level than WEP.  
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)  
AES is a security technology that uses an  
advanced security method that is distinct  
from WEP and TKIP.  
AES assures a higher security level than  
WEP or TKIP.

11. General Provisions  
Preamble  
This Agreement, the limited warranty accompanying the  
Product, plus any additional terms posted on the Service or Site,  
together constitute the entire agreement between Sony and you  
with respect to your use of the Product, Service, Site, Content,  
and Software. Any notice by Sony hereunder may be made by  
letter, email, or posting on the Service or Site. Any cause of  
action you may have with respect to your use of this Site must be  
commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action  
arises. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds  
any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, to be  
unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum  
extent permissible so as to affect the intent of this Agreement,  
and the remaining terms and conditions of the Agreement shall  
continue in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be  
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the  
State of Delaware, United States of America, without reference  
to its conflicts of law rules. You agree to submit to the personal  
and exclusive jurisdiction of federal or state courts in Delaware.  
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.  
Software License  
Information  
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.  
Required public statement & License for  
GPL/LGPL licensed software used in  
this product  
This product contains software that is subject to the following  
GNU General Public License (“GPL”) or GNU Lesser General  
Public License (“LGPL”). These establish that customers have  
the right to acquire, modify, and redistribute the source code of  
said software in accordance with the terms of the GPL or the  
LGPL.  
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.

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”.

Please note that Sony cannot answer or respond to any inquiries  
regarding the content of this source code.  
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.  
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  
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.  
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of  
this license document, but changing it is not allowed.  
82  
 
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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.)  
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.  
,continued  
83  
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.  
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 should have at  
least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is  
found.  
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.  
<one line to give the program’s name and an idea of what it  
does.>  
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and  
paper mail.  
NO WARRANTY  
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like  
this when it starts in an interactive mode:  
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.

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:

LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY  
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO  
MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE

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

SUCH DAMAGES.

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.  
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC  
LICENSE  
Version 2.1, February 1999  
Copyright (C) 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.]  
84  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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”.  
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.  
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.  
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”.)  
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.  
“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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
,continued  
85  
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.)  
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 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.  
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.  
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:  
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.  
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  
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.  
definitions.)  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of  
the Library into a program that is not a 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.  
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.  
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.  
86  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 preserving the free status of all  
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing  
and reuse of software generally.  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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).  
,continued  
87  
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.  
6. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the  
following acknowledgment:

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.  
Glossary  
AACS  
“Advanced Access Content System” is a  
specification for managing digital  
entertainment contents stored on the next  
generation of prerecorded and recorded  
optical media. The specification enables  
consumers to enjoy digital entertainment  
content, including high-definition content.  
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.  
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  
*1  
*2  
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 is  
used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4  
AVC/H.264 format is capable of  
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 73)  
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.  
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 DVDs in the same way as for a  
standard definition (SD) television signal.  
Deep Color (page 52)  
These are video signals for which the color  
depth of signals passing through an HDMI  
jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep  
Color-compatible player, the number of  
colors 1 pixel can express is 8 bits per  
component video signal (Y, PB, PR) (24 bits/  
16,777,216 colors). However, with a Deep  
Color-compatible player, 1 pixel can express  
more bits, such as 12 bits per component  
video signal (Y, PB, PR) (36 bits). With more  
bits, the gradation of color depth can be  
expressed more finely, and continuous color  
changes will be displayed more smoothly.  
*1  
A high definition specification that utilizes 1080  
effective scanning lines and the interlace format.  
A high definition specification that utilizes 720  
*2  
effective scanning lines and the progressive  
format.  
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.  
DLNA (page 46, 65)  
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.  
The “Digital Living Network Alliance” is a  
non-profit organization that formulates  
DLNA Interoperability Guidelines for  
sharing digital content via a network.

Dolby Digital Plus (page 76)  
LTH (Low to High) (page 74)  
LTH is a recording system that supports  
organic pigment type BD-R.  
Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital,  
the audio coding technology supports 7.1  
multi-channel surround sound.  
PhotoTV HD (page 45)  
Dolby TrueHD (page 76)  
“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.  
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.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio (page 76)  
Developed as an extension to DTS Digital  
Surround format. It supports a maximum  
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-  
channel surround.  
Pop-up menu (page 37)  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a  
maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with  
lossy compression (Lossy).  
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.  
DTS-HD Master Audio (page 76)  
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.  
Super Bit Mapping (page 52)  
It is possible to achieve smoother gradation  
by putting 14 bits of information into an 8-bit  
video signal. This Sony-developed  
technology takes into account human vision  
characteristics.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (page 25, 32)  
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup specification  
easily sets the security of wireless home  
networks.  
There are 2 ways to use the Wi-Fi Protected  
Setup function:  
– The Push Button Configuration method,  
using the WPS button on the wireless LAN  
router (access point)  
HDMI is an interface that supports both video  
and audio on a single digital connection. The  
HDMI connection carries standard- to high-  
definition video signals and multi-channel  
audio signals to AV components such as  
HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without  
degradation.  
The HDMI specification supports HDCP  
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents  
– The PIN method, using a PIN code  
Protection), a copy protection technology for  
digital entertainment contents for HDMI.  
x.v.Color is a familiar term for the xvYCC  
standard proposed by Sony.  
xvYCC is an international standard for color  
space in video.  
This standard can express a wider color range  
than the currently used broadcast standard.  
HD Reality Enhancer (HDMI) (page 40, 44)  
Sony-developed technology provides real-  
time parsing pixel-by-pixel, performs  
optimum smoothing, clarifies details,  
removes noise and achieves smoother  
gradation in video signals during playback.

24p True Cinema (page 51)  
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.
