WARNING

Before plugging in for the first time, read the following

section carefully.

The voltage of the available power supply differs

according to country or region. Be sure that the

power supply voltage of the area where this unit

will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., 230 V

or 120 V) written on the rear panel.

D3-4-2-1-4_A_En

POWER-CORD CAUTION

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC

outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed

and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and

mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of

this unit should be performed only by qualified

service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the

cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make

sure it is properly disposed of after removal.

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the

plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power

cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a

short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a

piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the

cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other

cords. The power cords should be routed such that they

are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord

can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check

the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged,

contact the Pioneer service center on the back cover, or

your dealer for a replacement.

The equipment should be disconnected by removing

the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused

for a long period of time (for example, when on

vacation).

The ꢀꢁSTANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not

completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.

Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect

device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from

the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,

make sure the unit has been installed so that the

power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC

outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,

the power cord should also be unplugged from the

AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time

(for example, when on vacation).

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Since hearing damage from loud noise is often

undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer

and the Electronic Industries Association’s

Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid

prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of

sound levels is included for your protection.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit

you’ve just purchased is only the start of your

musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how

you can maximize the fun and excitement your

equipment offers. This manufacturer and the

Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer

Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that

lets the sound come through loud and clear without

annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,

without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Decibel

Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers

40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic

50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine

70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing

“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.

So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and

harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by

setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your

hearing adapts.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS

UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill

120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,

thunderclap

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane

180 Rocket launching pad

To establish a safe level:

@ꢄStart your volume control at a low setting.

@ꢄSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

Once you have established a comfortable sound

level:

@ꢄSet the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent

hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we

want you listening for a lifetime.

Screws removed

from player

Caution

• When installing the player, leave a space of at least

10 cm between the player and the wall. Also, to

facilitate heat radiation, leave some space between

the player and other equipment. Failure to do so will

cause heat to build up inside the player, leading to

fire.

Rack mount bracket

The player should be used within a surrounding

environmental temperature of +5 to +35 °C and humidity

of 85% or less (without obstructing the ventilation holes).

Do not install in poorly ventilated places, places where

the humidity is too high or in places exposed to direct

sunlight (or strong artificial light).

at a high speed and may be damaged.

 Transporting the set

When transporting the set, always use the box in which it

was originally packed, being sure not to drop it or subject

it to vibrations or shocks.

Cleaning the pickup lens

Do not let the set be exposed to heat or water during

transportation.

Be sure to remove any disc before transporting.

Transporting the set with a disc in it could scratch the

disk or damage the inside of the set. Also, disconnect

cables. Transporting with cables connected could

damage the terminals.

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

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.

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.

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.

Condensation

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

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

condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and

playback will become possible.

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 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.

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 use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals.

Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.

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.

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.

Mount the rack mount brackets.

 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.

 About PQLS function

Functions operated from the TV

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.

Such player operations as starting and stopping playback

and displaying the menus can be performed from the Flat

Panel TV.

Auto-select function

The input switches automatically on the Flat Panel TV and

AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.) 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 Panel 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

activated when playing all discs (BDs, DVDs, etc.)

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 Panel TV’s

power was off, its power turns on automatically. When the

Flat Panel TV’s power is turned off, the player’s power

automatically turns off.

• The “PQLS 2ch Audio” function is only activated when

a Pioneer AV receiver or amplifier compatible with the

“PQLS 2ch Audio” function is connected directly to

the player’s HDMI OUT terminal using an HDMI

cable, and when the player is set as follows (page 44):

KURO LINK: On

Unified language function

When the language information from a connected Flat

Panel TV is received, you can have the player’s on-screen

display language change automatically to that of the Flat

Panel TV. This function is available only when playback is

stopped and the menu screen is not displayed.

PQLS: Auto

• The “PQLS Multi Surround” function is only activated

when a Pioneer AV receiver or amplifier compatible

with the “PQLS Multi Surround” function is

connected directly to the player’s HDMI OUT

terminal using an HDMI cable, and when the player is

set as follows (page 44):

Additional information

Connection to a computer

The player communicates with the computer using the

9-pin D-Sub connector's pins 2 and 3 for signal transfer

and pin 5 as the ground.

Serial interface

specifications

In addition to the basic operations on the player's front

panel and remote control, the player is equipped with a

serial interface conforming to RS-232C standards allowing

connection to a computer. The interface is a 9-pin D-Sub

connector.

The computer and player are connected as shown on the

Command mnemonics

Command mnemonics consist of two-digit ASCII

alphabetic coded characters. Upper-case and lower-case

characters can be used without distinction.

Arguments

(1) Arguments are placed in front of the command.

If a command requiring an argument has no

argument, an error is generated.

(2) Arguments are of the following types:

1. Address:

The address consists of ASCII digit characters for the title

number, chapter number, track number and time code,

according to the address mode.

The address mode is determined by the TI, CH, TR and TM

commands.

If a value greater than the maximum value is attributed, the

command will not work normally.

2. Argument:

The argument expresses a parameter for commands with

arguments other than the address (KL, BS, SW, etc.).

The argument consists of ASCII alphabetic coded

characters and digit characters.

Introduction

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.

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:

• We don’t promise that this software works. However, we

will be interested in any kind of bug reports.(‘as is’

distribution)

• You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts

or full form, without having to pay us.(‘royalty-free’

usage)

4. Contacts

There are two mailing lists related to FreeType:

• freetyp[email protected]rg

Discusses general use and applications of FreeType,

as well as future and wanted additions to the library

and distribution. If you are looking for support, start in

this list if you haven’t found anything to help you in the

documentation.

Original SSLeay License

• You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you

use it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must

acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that

you have used the FreeType code.(‘credits’)

We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this

software, with or without modifications, in commercial

products. We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType

below.

Serious users of this software (particularly those

incorporating it into larger programs) should contact IJG at

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.

We welcome the use of this software as a component of

commercial products. No royalty is required, but we do ask

for an acknowledgement in product documentation, as

described under LEGAL ISSUES.

LEGAL ISSUES

In plain English:

1. We don’t promise that this software works. (But if you

find any bugs, please let us know!)

2. You can use this software for whatever you want. You

don’t have to pay us.

3. You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you

use it in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere

OVERVIEW

We specifically permit and encourage the use of this

software as the basis of commercial products, provided

that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the

product vendor.

ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of

L. Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor of its copyright holder,

Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT

covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead

by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software

Foundation; principally, that you must include source code

if you redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c for full details.)

However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any

program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit

you more than the foregoing paragraphs do.

The Unix configuration script “configure” was produced

with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free Software

Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its

supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig,

ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright

by M.I.T. but is also freely distributable.

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.

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

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.

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

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”

(98x31).

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim

allowed.

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

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.)

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away

your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU

General Public License is intended to guarantee your

freedom to share and change free software - to make sure

the software is free for all its users. This General Public

License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s

software and to any other program whose authors commit

to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software

is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License

instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to

freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are

designed to make sure that you have the freedom to

distribute copies of free software (and charge for this

service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get

it if you want it, that you can change the software or use

pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you

can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that

forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to

surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain

responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the

software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,

whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all

the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too,

receive or can get the source code. And you must show

them these terms so they know their rights.

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/.

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!

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

ARCHIVE LOCATIONS

The “official” archive site for this software is ftp.uu.net

(Internet address 192.48.96.9). The most recent released

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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”.

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

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.

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

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.

<one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of

what it does.>

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.

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

You should have received a copy of the GNU General

Public License along with this program; if not, write to

for a version of the library must be consistent with the full

freedom of use specified in this license.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring

a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty

protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any

portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library,

and copy and distribute such modifications or work

under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you

also meet all of these conditions:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice

like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;

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.

programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright

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

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC

LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

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.]

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.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we

modify the library.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.)

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

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:

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If

the Library specifies a version number of this License

which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the

option of following the terms and conditions either of

that version or of any later version published by the Free

Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a

license version number, you may choose any version ever

published by the Free Software Foundation.

14.If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other

free programs whose distribution conditions are

incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for

permission. For software which is copyrighted by the

Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software

Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our

decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the

free status of all derivatives of our free software and of

promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

To obtain a copy, contact your local Pioneer Customer

Support Center.

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.

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:
