Important User Guidance Information 01

Chapter 1

Important User Guidance Information

In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from this Pioneer PRO-

1150HD/PRO-950HD plasma display, please first read this

information carefully.

With the Pioneer PRO-1150HD/PRO-950HD, you can be assured

of a high quality plasma display with long-life and high reliability.

To achieve images of exceptional quality, this Pioneer plasma

display incorporates state-of-the-art design and construction, as

well as very precise and highly advanced technology.

The Pioneer PRO-1150HD/PRO-950HD incorporates the latest in

color filter technology – Direct Color Filter. This improves the

color / picture reproduction of these models as compared to

previous models. It also eliminates the need for a physical glass

panel to be placed in front of the plasma panel, which furthers

Pioneer’s continued goal of reducing environmental waste in

consumer electronics, now during the manufacturing process

and in the future during the recycling process.

Over the course of its lifetime, the luminosity of the Pioneer PRO-

1150HD/PRO-950HD plasma display will diminish very slowly,

such as with all phosphor-based screens (for example, a

traditional tube-type television). To enjoy beautiful and bright

images on your Pioneer plasma display for many years to come,

please carefully read and follow the usage guidelines below.

Usage guidelines

All phosphor-based screens (including conventional tube-type

televisions) can be affected by displaying static images for a

prolonged period. Plasma displays are no exception to this rule.

After-image and permanent effects on the screen can be avoided

by taking some basic precautions. By following the

recommendations listed below, you can ensure longer and

satisfactory results from your plasma:

• Whenever possible, avoid frequently displaying the same

image or virtually still moving pictures (e.g. closed-captioned

images or video game images which have static portions).

• Avoid viewing the On Screen Display for extended periods,

from a DVD player, VCR, and all other components.

• Do not leave the same picture freeze-framed or paused

continuously over a long period of time, when using the still

picture mode from a TV, VCR, DVD player or any other

component.

• Images which have both very bright areas and very dark areas

side by side should not be displayed for a prolonged period of

time.

• When playing a game, the “GAME” mode setting within “AV

Selection” is strongly recommended. However, please limit its

use to less than two hours at a time.

• After playing a game, or displaying a PC image or any still

image, it is best to view a normal moving picture in the “WIDE”

or “FULL” screen setting for over three times longer than the

previous still/moving image.

• After using the plasma display, always switch the display to

“STANDBY” mode.

• Extensive viewing of content with top, bottom, or side masks

may cause uneven wear. After viewing masked content, it is

recommended to view full screen motion video for an equal or

greater amount of time.

Installation guidelines

The Pioneer PRO-1150HD/PRO-950HD plasma display

incorporates a very thin design. To ensure safety, please take the

proper measures to mount or install the plasma display, in order

to prevent the unit from tipping over in the event of vibration or

accidental movement.

This product should be installed by using only parts and

accessories designed by Pioneer. Use of accessories other than

the Pioneer stand or installation bracket may result in instability,

and could cause injury. For custom installation, please consult

the dealer where the unit was purchased. To ensure correct

installation, experienced and qualified experts must install the

unit.

Pioneer will not be held responsible for accident or damage

caused by the use of parts and accessories manufactured by

other companies, inadequate installation or stabilization,

erroneous operation, remodeling or natural disasters.

To avoid malfunction and overheating when installing, make sure

that the vents on the main unit are not blocked. To ensure proper

heat emission:

• Distance the unit slightly from other equipment, walls, etc. For

the minimum space required around the unit, see page 16.

• Do not fit the unit inside narrow spaces where ventilation is

poor.

• Do not cover with a cloth, etc.

• Clean the vents on the sides and rear of the unit to remove dust

build-up by using a vacuum cleaner set to its lowest suction

setting.

• Do not place the product on a carpet or blanket.

• Do not leave the product tilted over.

• Do not invert the product.

Using the unit without proper ventilation may cause the internal

temperature to rise, and could result in possible malfunction.

When the surrounding or internal temperature exceeds a certain

degree, the display will automatically power off in order to cool

the internal electronics and prevent a hazardous occurrence.

Malfunction can be caused by many factors: inappropriate

installation site, improper assembly/installation/mounting,

improper operation of or modifications made to this product.

However, Pioneer cannot be held responsible for accidents or

malfunction caused by the above.

Note

The following are typical effects and characteristics of a

phosphor-based matrix display and as such, are not covered by

the manufacturer’s limited warranties:

• Permanent residual images upon the phosphors of the panel.

• The existence of a minute number of inactive light cells.

• Panel generated sounds, examples: Fan motor noise, and

electrical circuit humming / glass panel buzzing

PRO1150HD.book Page 7 Tuesday, April 17, 2007 9:34 AM

Important User Guidance Information

Caution

Pioneer bears no responsibility for any damage arising from

incorrect use of the product by you or other people, malfunctions

when in use, other product related problems, and use of the

product except in cases where the company must be liable.

Plasma display protection function

When still images (such as photos and computer images) stay on

the screen for an extended period of time, the screen will be

slightly dimmed. This is because the protection function of the

plasma display automatically adjusts the brightness to protect

the screen when detecting still images; so this does not

designate malfunction. The screen is dimmed when a still image

is detected for about three minutes.

Information of pixel defect

Plasma screens display information using pixels. Pioneer plasma

display panels contain a very large number of pixels. (Depending

on the panel size; over 2.3 million pixels in case of a 42 inch

display, over 3.1 million pixels in case of a 50 inch display). All

Pioneer display panels are manufactured using a very high level

of ultra-precision technology and undergo individual quality

control.

In rare cases, some pixels can be permanently switched off, or

on, resulting in either a black or colored pixel permanently fixed

on the screen.

This effect is common to all plasma displays because it is a

consequence of the technology.

If the defective pixels are visible at a normal viewing distance of

between 2.5 and 3.5 meters (8.2 and 11.5 feet) while viewing a

normal broadcast (i.e. not a test card, still image or single color

display) please contact Pioneer Customer Support Div. (USA) or

Customer Satisfaction Dept. (CANADA). See back cover.

If, however, they can only be seen close up or during single color

displays then this is considered normal for this technology.

Infrared rays

The plasma display releases infrared rays because of its

characteristics. Depending on how the plasma display is in use,

the remote controls of nearby equipment may be adversely

affected or wireless headphones using infrared rays are

interfered with by noise. If this is the case, place that equipment

at a location where its remote control sensor is not affected.

Radio interference

While this product meets the required specifications, it emits a

small amount of noise. If you place such equipment as an AM

radio, personal computer, and VCR close to this product, that

equipment may be interfered. If this happens, place that

equipment far enough from this product.

Plasma display driving sound

The screen of the plasma display is composed of extremely fine

pixels and these pixels emit light according to received video

signals. This principle may cause you to hear a buzz or electrical

hum coming from the plasma display.

Do not attach such items as labels and tape to the

product.

• This may result in the discoloration or scratch of the cabinet.

When not using the product for a long period of time

• If you do not use the product for a long period of time, the

functions of the product may be adversely affected. Switch on

and run the product occasionally.

Condensation

• Condensation may take place on the surface or inside of the

product when the product is rapidly moved from a cold place

to a warm place or just after a heater is switched on on a winter

morning, for example. When condensation takes place, do not

switch on the product until condensation disappears. Using

the product with condensation may result in malfunction.

Cleaning the surface of the screen and the glossy

surface of the front cabinet

• When cleaning the surface of the screen or the glossy surface

of the front cabinet, gently wipe it with a dry soft cloth; the

supplied cleaning cloth or other similar cloths (e.g., cotton and

flannel). If you use a dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the screen

hard, the surface of the product will be scratched.

• If you clean the surface of the screen with a wet cloth, water

droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in

malfunction.

Cleaning the cabinet

• When cleaning the cabinet of this product, gently wipe it with

a clean soft cloth (e.g., cotton and flannel). If you use a dusty or

hard cloth or if you rub the cabinet hard, the surface of the

cabinet will be scratched.

• The cabinet of this product is mostly composed of plastic. Do

not use chemicals such as benzene or thinner to clean the

cabinet. Using these chemicals may result in quality

deterioration or coating removal.

• Do not expose the product to volatile gas or fluid such as

pesticide. Do not bring the product in contact with rubber or

vinyl products for a long period of time. The effect of plasticizer

in the plastic may result in quality deterioration or coating

removal.

• If you clean the surface of the cabinet with a wet cloth, water

droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in

malfunction.

Handles at the rear of the plasma display

• Do not remove the handles from the rear of the plasma display.

• When moving the plasma display, ask another person for help

and use the handles attached to the rear of the plasma display.

Do not move the plasma display by holding only a single

handle. Use the handles as shown on page 16.

• Do not use the handles to hang the product when installing or

carrying the product, for example. Do not use the handles for

the purpose of preventing the product from tilting over.

PRO1150HD.book Page 8 Tuesday, April 17, 2007 9:34 AM

Important User Guidance Information 01

Fan motor noise

The rotation speed of the cooling fan motor increases when the

ambient temperature of the plasma display becomes high. You

may hear the sound of the fan motor at that time.

To use this product for a long period of time

• Energy Save maintains efficiency of the screen for a long

period of time by decreasing picture brightness and lowering

power consumption. Setting Energy Save to “Mode 1” is

recommended for increased efficiency.

About the menu window size following video format

switch

The video program that you watch may be high definition (HD) or

standard definition (SD). This plasma display is designed to scale

to each type of definition properly. If the video program’s

definition type changes while a menu window is displayed on the

screen (for example: HD → SD or SD → HD), the menu size may

temporarily shrink or enlarge until the scaling is completed. This

may happen, for example, when you switch between television

and an external digital video recorder

(D-VHS), or when your recorded program switches between

different definition types, while the on-screen menu is being

shown.

If this happens, the menu will return to its normal size after two

to three seconds. This action is normal, and does not indicate a

problem with your plasma display.

Image Retention

When a static image is left frozen on a display for several hours,

a faint imprint of the image, known as image retention, can

remain. This image retention may be temporary or permanent.

Although caused by different things, image retention can occur

on all display technologies, including plasma and LCD. On

today’s plasma displays, permanent image retention is less of a

worry. Most image retention can be improved simply by watching

moving video.

Image retention, also known as burn-in, can occur in all

phosphor-based display systems (including CRT television

systems–both direct view and projection–as well as plasma

displays). Displaying the same still images for long periods

should be avoided as permanent image retention or burn-in may

occur. Recommended guidelines are as follows:

Do not display static images for long periods (such as still

images, fixed images from PC or TV game equipment, and/or

fixed images such as time of day indicator or channel logo

display).

Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray bars

on left and right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars

above and below content) for extended periods of time, or use

either of these viewing modes repeatedly within a short period of

time. This plasma display is equipped with multiple wide-screen

viewing modes; use one of these screen modes to fill the entire

screen with content.

Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period

of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the image

retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a

similar period of time.

If you display still images on your plasma display for long periods

of time, image retention may be irreparable.

Caution

Panel sticking and after-image lag

• Displaying the same images such as still images for a long

time may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the

following two cases.

1 After-image lagging due to remaining electric load

When image patterns with very high peak luminance are

displayed more than one minute, after-image lagging may occur

due to the remaining electric load. The after-images remaining

on the screen will disappear when moving images are displayed.

The time for the after-images to disappear depends on the

luminance of the still images and the time they had been

displayed.

2 After-image (lag image) due to burning

Avoid displaying the same image on the plasma display

continuously over a long period of time. If the same image is

displayed continuously for several hours, or for shorter periods of

time over several days, a permanent after-image may remain on

the screen due to burning of the fluorescent materials. Such

images may become less noticeable if moving images are later

displayed, but they will not disappear completely.

Note

• When a program menu, TV Guide screen or frozen image is

displayed for 5 to 10 minutes, the system automatically turns

the image off to prevent damage from screen burning.

• To minimize image retention, the display position is

automatically changed imperceptibly when watching plasma

display.

Some parts of the picture may not be visible (see Orbiter on

page 64).

Minimizing damage from screen burning

• Set the Side Mask detection function to “On”. The High

Definition 16:9 aspect ratio images containing side masks will

be detected automatically and side masks will be added or the

image displayed in full screen.

• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in full

screen, except when doing so may result in copyright

infringement. The use of images displayed in screen sizes

different from the original video for financial gain or in

broadcasting for public viewing may result in infringement of the

legally enforceable rights of the copyright holder (see page 62).

5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before

cleaning the product. To clean the product, use the supplied

cleaning cloth or other soft cloth (e.g., cotton, flannel). Do not

use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by

the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result

in accidents.

7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water,

such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub,

swimming pool and in a wet basement.

8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand,

tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can

cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal

Preparation

Preventing the plasma display from

falling over

After installing the stand, be sure to take special care to ensure

that the plasma display will not fall over and is stabilized to both

the wall and rack.

Stabilizing on a table or rack

Stabilize the plasma display as shown in the diagram using the

supplied plastic bands and screws.

Note

• To stabilize the plasma display on a table or rack, also use

commercially available wood screws that have a nominal

diameter of 4 mm (5/32 inch) and that are at least 20 mm

(13/16 inch) long.

Drill a hole in the middle at the rear of the tabletop panel before

using a wood screw. Perform this work the same way on the left

and right sides.

Using a wall for stabilization

1Attach falling prevention bolts (hooks) to the plasma

display.

2Use strong cords to stabilize it appropriately and

firmly to a wall, pillar, or other sturdy element.

Perform this work in the same way on the left and right sides.

Note

• Use hooks, cords and fittings that are available on the market.

Recommended hook: Nominal diameter 8 mm, length 12 mm

to 18 mm (0.5 inches to 0.7 inches)

Caution

• A table or rack with adequate strength should always be used

to support the plasma display. Failure to do so could result in

personal injury and physical damage.

• When installing the plasma display, please take the necessary

safety measures to prevent it from falling or overturning in case

of emergencies, such as earthquakes, or of accidents.

• If you do not take these precautions, the plasma display could

fall down and cause injury.

• The screws, hooks, cords and other fittings that you use to

secure the plasma display to prevent it from overturning will

vary according to the composition and thickness of the surface

to which it will be attached.

• Select the appropriate screws, hooks, cords, and other fittings

after first inspecting the surface carefully to determine its

thickness and composition and after consulting a professional

installer if necessary.

Cable connections for watching digital

and/or conventional TV channels

This system is equipped with two terminals for inputting TV

broadcasting signals: ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN. The ANT/

CABLE A IN terminal accepts both digital and conventional TV

broadcasting signals while the ANT B IN terminal accepts only

conventional TV broadcasting signals. When using cable TV to

watch digital and/or conventional TV channels, connect to the

ANT/CABLE A IN terminal as shown. In addition, you may

connect an antenna to the ANT B IN terminal as shown; use an

outdoor antenna to enjoy clearer pictures. If your outdoor

antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,

plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the plasma display.

Connecting VHF/UHF antennas and a Cable

Note

• Be sure to connect coaxial cables as shown above. Signal

reception may fail if not properly connected.

• In order to watch cable TV channels, be sure to connect the

cable to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal.

• The ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals must not receive

the same signals. For example, do not connect a cable from a

cable TV to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals.

Similarly, do not connect a cable from an antenna to both the

ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals.

• TV Guide may not be available in all areas and is not available

with satellite systems. In addition, as content providers move to

digital programming and broadcasting, TV Guide Data may be

unavailable or become unavailable.

Inserting the CableCARD™

The plasma display is equipped with a slot for inserting a

CableCARD™. When you are watching digital and/or High

Definition TV channels over cable, the card allows you to use the

POD service provided by the cable TV company; the POD stands

for Point of Deployment. This service presents various types of

useful information, using HTML text.

1Confirm that the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal has been

connected with the coaxial cable from the Cable

Converter.

2Hold and push the tab of the slot cover on the rear of

the plasma display leftward, and remove the cover

while pulling the tab’s latch downward.

3Insert the specified CableCARD™ into the Cable CARD

slot as far as it goes.

Note

• Be sure to insert only the specified CableCARD™.

• Do not insert a PC card.

• When you use a CableCARD™, you need not execute Auto

Channel Preset; the CableCARD™ automatically generates a

cable channel list.

Preparation 05

Preparing the remote control unit

Inserting batteries

1Open the battery cover.

2Load the supplied two AA size batteries while inserting

their respective negative polarity (–) ends first.

• The battery polarities must correspond with the (+) and (–)

indicators in the battery compartment.

3Close the battery cover.

Cautions regarding batteries

• The remote control unit cannot operate the system if the

batteries in the unit are weak. When this happens, replace the

batteries with new ones.

• When you replace the batteries, use alkaline batteries for the

remote control unit.

• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of

batteries have different characteristics.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries

can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage

in old batteries.

• Do not leave dead batteries in the remote control unit;

chemical leakage will occur. If you find any chemical leakage,

wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life

expectancy due to storage conditions.

• If you will not use the remote control unit for an extended

period of time, remove the batteries from it.

Allowed operation range of the remote control

unit

Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the

remote control sensor located at the bottom right of the front

panel of the plasma display. The distance from the remote control

sensor must be within 7 m (23 feet) and the angle relative to the

sensor must be within 30 degrees in the right or left direction.

Note

• For the remote control sensor located on the PRO-950HD, see

Part Names on page 13

Cautions regarding the remote control unit

• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock, liquid, or high

humidity.

• Do not place the remote control unit under direct sunlight; the

unit may deform.

• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote

sensor window of the plasma display is under direct sunlight or

strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting

or plasma display, or operate the remote control unit closer to

the remote sensor window.

• When any obstacle exists between the remote control unit and

the remote control sensor, the remote control unit may not

function.

• As the batteries become weak, the remote control unit can

function within a shorter distance from the remote control

sensor. Replace the batteries with new ones if necessary.

• The plasma display emits very weak infrared rays from its

screen. If you place such equipment operated through infrared

remote control as a VCR nearby, that equipment may not

receive commands from its remote control unit properly or

entirely. If this is the case, place that equipment at a location

far enough from the plasma display.

• Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays from

the plasma display may not allow this system to properly

receive commands from the remote control unit or may

shorten allowable distances between the remote control unit

and the remote control sensor. The strength of infrared rays

emitted from the screen differs, depending on images

displayed on the screen.

Battery disposal

When disposing of used batteries, please comply with

governmental regulations or environmental public

institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.

Using HDMI Input

The INPUT 4, INPUT 5, INPUT 6, INPUT 7 terminals are HDMI

terminals to which digital video and audio signals can be input.

To use the HDMI terminal, specify the types of video and audio

signals to be received from the connected equipment. For the

types of these signals, see the operation manual that came with

the connected equipment.

Before starting the menu, press INPUT 4, INPUT 5, INPUT 6 or

INPUT 7 on the remote control unit or press INPUT on the plasma

display to select “INPUT 4”, “INPUT 5”, “INPUT 6” or “INPUT 7”.

For audio, the system supports the following:

• Linear PCM (STEREO 2ch)

• Sampling frequency: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz

HDMI Control supported

The plasma display supports the HDMI Control functions. By

connecting devices that support the HDMI Control functions to

the plasma display, you can control the connected device(s) from

the plasma display or remote control unit of the plasma display.

See Using the HDMI Control on Chapter 13.

Deep Color supported

Deep Color means the color depth that describes the number of

bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped

image. Besides the conventional RGB/YCbCr16 bit/20 bit/24 bit

signals, the plasma display also supports RGB/YCbCr30 bit/36 bit

signals. This enables finer, minute color reproduction when a

device that supports Deep Color signals (HDMI1.3) is connected

to the plasma display. When Deep Color signals are received, the

color depth appears on the channel display.

Note

• It may take a short while until the image is displayed,

depending on the equipment connected.

• When connecting a PC to the HDMI terminal, use the HDMI

compliant PC or video card.

• When connecting a PC to the HDMI terminal using a DVI

output terminal, the plasma display may not display properly. If

that is the case, consult with your PC manufacturer.

• PC picture and/or sound may not be displayed or heard

properly depending on the PC used.

Connecting a game console or camcorder

Use the INPUT 3 terminals to connect a game console,

camcorder and other audiovisual equipment.

Displaying an image of the game console or

camcorder

To watch an image coming from the game console or camcorder,

press INPUT 3 on the remote control unit or press INPUT on the

plasma display to select “INPUT 3”.

Note

• The INPUT 3 terminals are checked whether they are

connected in the following order; 1) Component Video, 2)

Video.

Use the desired connection for viewing.

• Connect external equipment to only terminals that are to be

actually used.

Connecting other audio equipment

The digital audio output terminal (optical) on this system can

output Dolby Digital signals. Using an optical digital cable,

connect an AV receiver to the digital audio output terminal

(optical) on the rear of the plasma display. This allows audio such

as digital TV broadcasting to be played in high quality.

If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input terminal

(optical), you may connect the AUDIO OUT terminals (AUDIO) on

the rear of the plasma display to the audio input terminals on the

AV receiver. However, this method may result in audio delay

between the speakers and AUDIO, which may be reduced by

muting the speakers on the plasma display. Nonetheless, you

may experience delay between audio and video.

Connecting an AV receiver

Note

• When using the digital audio output terminal (optical), you

need to make settings depending on your AV receiver. For more

information, see the instruction manual that came with the AV

receiver.

• For details, refer to the operation manual for the audio

equipment to be connected.

• Audio signals synchronized with currently displayed images

are always output to the AUDIO OUT terminals.

• The audio accompanying the images shown on the display are

always output to the SUBWOOFER output terminal.

• When signals are input from the HDMI terminals, no signals

are output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal.

• Input signals from the Home Media Gallery may cause audio

delays between the speakers and OPTICAL. Try muting the

speakers on the plasma display; however, you may still

experience delays between audio and video.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution

GENERAL

• No power. • Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 24.)

•Has  been turned on? (See page 26.)

• Check if you pressed TV  on the remote control unit. (See page 26.)

If the indicator on the system lights up red, press TV  on the remote control unit or STANDBY/ON on the

plasma display.

• Power is suddenly turned off. • Is the sleep timer set? (See page 60.)

• Check the power control setting. (See page 59.)

• The system’s internal temperature has increased. Clean the vents, or remove any blocking objects.

(See page 16.)

• A malfunction may have occurred in the home network module.

• The system cannot be operated. • External influences such as voltage malfunction, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation.

In this case, operate the system after first turning off the power of the plasma display, or unplugging the

power cord and re-plugging it in after one to two minutes.

• Remote control unit does not operate. • Check if TV  is off. Turn the button on when the POWER ON and STANDBY indicators are off.

• Is the Mode switch set correctly? Slide it to the TV position. (See page 15.)

• Are batteries inserted with connect polarity (+, –)? (See page 25.)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.) (See page 25.)

• Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor on the plasma display.

(See page 25.)

• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?

• Is a fluorescent light illuminating the remote control sensor?

• Check if any obstacles exist between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor.

• POWER ON indicator or STANDBY

indicator is quickly flashing.

• Internal protective circuits may have been activated.

First turn the power off by removing the AC power cord from the power outlet, and then turn the power on

again in after one minute or more. If the problem is not solved with this, contact the nearest Pioneer

Authorized Independent Service Company, or the Customer Support Division (see back cover).

(See pages 65 to 68 and 69.)

• Sound is reversed between the right and

left.

• Sound is output from only a single

speaker.

• Check if the speaker cable connections have been reversed between the right and left or if the speaker cable

from either speaker has been disconnected. (for PRO-1150HD only), (See page 19.)

• Has the balance been correctly adjusted? (See page 58.)

• Picture is cut off. • Is the image position correct? (See page 61.)

• Has the correct screen size been selected? (See page 62.)

• Strange color, light color, dark or color

misalignment.

• Adjust the picture tone. (See page 54.)

Appendix

• After-image lag. • After displaying a still image or a very bright image for a certain period of time, if the screen is then switched

to a darker scene, the previous image may appear as an after-image.

• This can be rectified by playing a rather bright moving image for several minutes. However, displaying a still

image for excessively long periods of time may cause permanent display deterioration.

• You can display the “Video Pattern” screen that helps eliminate after-image when it occurs. (See page 64.)

• Brightness and color tone on both sides

differ from those in the center in 4:3

mode.

• If images in 4:3 mode or letterbox images are displayed for long periods or for shorter periods over several

days, an after-image may remain due to burning. This is a characteristic of plasma displays.

• We recommend that you enjoy watching images in a full screen mode as much as possible. (See page 62.)

• We recommend you select “Auto” for “Brightness Sync.” in the Side Mask setting. This adjusts the

brightness of the gray side masks according to the brightness of the main image. (See page 63.)

HDMI Control

• HDMI Control functions do not operate. • Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma display and the device that supports the HDMI

Control functions. (See page 89.)

• Check if you have entered the settings properly for “Setting the HDMI Control”. (See page 90.)

• Check if the settings for the HDMI Control functions are effective on the connected device(s). For details, refer to the

operation manual that came with the device.

• No image and audio is presented. • Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma display and the device that supports the the HDMI

Control functions. (See page 89.)

• Check if you have entered the settings properly for “Setting the HDMI Control”. (See page 90.)

• No picture • Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma display and the device that supports the HDMI

Control functions. (See page 89.)

• Check if you have entered the settings properly for “Setting the HDMI Control”. (See page 90.)

• No sound • Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma display and the device that supports the HDMI

Control functions. (See page 89.)

• Check if you have entered the settings properly for “Setting the HDMI Control”. (See page 90.)

• Check if you have an HDMI controlled AV system connected to one HDMI terminal and the recorder or player

connected to another HDMI terminal on the plasma display. When connected this way, audio out from the recorder/

player does not go through the plasma display SPDIF terminal resulting in no sound to the AV system. When using

an AV system and recorder or player, be sure to connect the recorder or player to the AV system input terminal.

• An error message “The device cannot be

operated. Please check the connection.”

appears.

• Check if the connections are properly made between the plasma display and the device that supports the HDMI

Control functions. (See page 89.)

• Check if you have entered the settings properly for “Setting the HDMI Control”. (See page 90.)

Home Media Gallery/NETWORK

• No servers are found • Confirm that the PC is On and not in Standby or Sleep. (nothing is chosen in “Select Servers”). When the PC has

started with the “Wake On LAN” (WOL), check if the PC complies with WOL or if the WOL setup has been properly

done on the device manager for BIOS or Windows.

• Check the physical connections (hub, 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T, or crossed cable and other cable quality when cabled

directly to a PC). It is strongly recommended to use 100BASE-TX for playback quality and display speed.

• Check the logical connections (IP Address setup, DHCP, etc.). Confirm the IP Address is correct if acquired by Auto

IP and Firewall setup. Also check if the IP Address is properly acquired with DHCP on the “Network Setup” screen

that follows the “Setup” menu.

• Using two or more application servers on a single PC may cause unstable operation.

For proper operation, it is strongly recommended that one application server is used on a single PC.

• Check the PC if its media server is running. Restart if necessary. Check if one or more servers are On (this may cause

malfunction).

• Check if the PC is operating properly. Reboot the PC after confirming its specifications and setup.

• Check the media server setup. If a client is registered manually the setup procedure may have to be run again. An

option “Not Allowed” may have been selected for connections.

• Check if UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled on your router. If it is not, enable it. Refer to your router’s

instruction manual for procedures.

• Wait for a short period then select “Update to Latest Information” from the Tool Menu. (See page 78)

• No previously connected server(s) found

(items in “Select Servers” are dimmed)

• Refer to the possible solutions provided for “No servers are found”.

• An available server is selected but

cannot be navigated

• Check if the server is correctly set up for file sharing, if the target folder has been deleted, or if one or more folders

have been corrupted on the server.

• Check if there are too many files in each folder.

• A server is arbitrarily selected • This arbitrary selection happens when the server you used before had been set to display the top menu screen (if you

reset it, other servers connected are also reset). When the “Single Server/USB” option is selected on the “Auto

Connection Setup” screen that follows the “Setup” menu, the server is automatically accessed if only one server is

connected. Use the Tool Menu to select the proper server. (See page 78)

• File/folder configuration differs from one

server to another (strange configuration)

• The Media Navigator displays the server contents as classified by the server.

• If no information (such as ID3 tag) is contained in the file, files cannot be classified on the server.

• “The list could not be acquired.” appears

on the Server List screen

• Refer to the possible solutions provided for “No servers are found”.

• If the above does not solve the problem, try turning a off on the remote control unit then turn TV a on on the plasma

display.

• A communication error message appears • Refer to the possible solutions provided for “No servers are found”.

• If the above does not solve the problem, try turning a off on the remote control unit then turn TV a on on the plasma

display.

GNU General Public License

Version 2, June 1991

59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public

License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to make sure the software is free for all its users. This

General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit

to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library 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.

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.

GNU General Public License

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be

distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work

based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the

Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation

is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

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.

PRO1150HD.book Page 109 Tuesday, April 17, 2007 9:34 AM

110

Appendix

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.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to

exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program)

on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms

of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

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.)

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. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by

third parties to this License.

Appendix 15

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.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is

intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any

such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is

implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed

through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing

to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the

original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation

excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License

incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

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.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to

it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version

published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any

version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the

author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software

Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of

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.

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published

by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software

Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

Appendix

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:

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

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, 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 copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal

permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by

someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author’s

reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot

effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder.

Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified

in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser

General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use

this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a

combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire

combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the

library.

We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the ordinary General

Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These

disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides

advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it

becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library.

PRO1150HD.book Page 112 Tuesday, April 17, 2007 9:34 AM

Appendix 15

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.

GNU Lesser 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”.

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 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact

all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the

Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange

for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and

distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

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.

PRO1150HD.book Page 113 Tuesday, April 17, 2007 9:34 AM

114

Appendix

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.

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 copyright notices, you must include

the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License.

Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever

changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable

linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code,

so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is

understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile

the application to use the modified definitions.)

b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a

copy of the library already present on the user’s computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and

(2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-

compatible with the version that the work was made with.

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.

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:

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.

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any

attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights

under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses

terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or

distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by

modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and

all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

PRO1150HD.book Page 114 Tuesday, April 17, 2007 9:34 AM

115

Appendix 15

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.

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.

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.

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.

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as

This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
