the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to have a suitable
outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by forcing
it in.
• For the set with a three-wire
grounding type AC plug:

This plug will only fit
into a grounding-type
power outlet. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading

Do not overload wall
outlets, extension cords
or convenience
receptacles beyond their
capacity, since this can result in fire or
electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any
kind into the set through
openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result
in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the set.
Attachments

Do not use attachments not
recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may
cause hazards.
Cleaning

Unplug the set from the
wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it.
Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth
lightly dampened with water for cleaning
the exterior of the set.
Installation
Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line
operated sets near water
– for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection

Route the power cord so
that it is not likely to be
walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to the plugs,
receptacles, and the point where the cord
exits from the appliance.
Accessories

Do not place the set on
an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table.
The set may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or an adult, and serious damage
to the set. Use only a cart stand tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer.
An appliance and cart
combination should be
moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may S3125A
cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for necessary ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the set, and
to protect it from overheating, these slots
and openings must never be blocked or
covered.

Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is
installed, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come in contact
with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR
ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP
FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER
LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT
WITH THEM IS ALMOST
INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the

About playback of discs recorded in
AVCHD format
This player can play AVCHD format discs.
TM

What is the AVCHD format?
The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera
format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high
definition) signals of either the 1080i specification*1 or the 720p
specification*2 on DVDs, using efficient data compression
coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted
to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM
system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher
efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing
format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high
definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera
recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it
would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.
“AVCHD” and the AVCHD logo are trademarks of Matsushita Electric
Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporation.
*1:1080i specification — a high definition specification which utilizes
1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace system.
*2:720p specification — a high definition specification which utilizes
720 effective scanning lines and the progressive system.

Notes
• Some AVCHD format discs may not play depending on the recording
condition.
• The AVCHD format disc will not play if it has not been correctly
finalized.

• Note about double-layer DVDs

The playback pictures and sound may be momentarily
interrupted when the layers switch.

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,

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

GNU License Information

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.

◆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.

Copyright (C) yyyy name of author
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)

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY
NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show

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.

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 number2.1.]

◆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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Sections1 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.
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),

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.
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 License Information

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.
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 machinereadable 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 interfacecompatible 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

GNU License Information

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.
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 WARRANTIESOF

FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY
AND PERFORMANCE OF
THELIBRARY 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
WHOMAY 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 NOTLIMITED TO
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OFTHE
LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS

Additional Information

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.

Copyright (C) year name of author

it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU
Lesser General Public License as published by

version.
This library 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 Lesser
General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU
Lesser General Public License along with this
library; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59Temple Place, Suite 330,
Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
Also add information on how to contact you by
electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work
as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign
a “copyright disclaimer” for the library, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright

AACS
“Advanced Access Content System” is a
specification for managing digital
entertainment contents stored on the next
generation of prerecorded and recorded
optical media. The specification enables
consumers to enjoy digital entertainment
content, including high-definition
content.

AVCHD (page 7)

BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only
Memory) are commercially produced
discs and are available in the same
capacities as the BD below. Other than
conventional movie and video contents,
these discs have enhanced features such
as interactive content, menu operations
using pop-up menus (see below),
selection of subtitle display, and
slideshow. Although a BD-ROM may
contain any form of data, most BD ROM
discs will contain movies in High
Definition format, for playback on Bluray Disc players.

Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 6)
A disc format developed for recording/
playing high-definition (HD) video (for
HDTV, etc.), and for storing large
amounts of data. A single layer Blu-ray
Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a dual-layer
Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of data.

Chapter (page 26)
Sections of a picture or a music feature
that are smaller than titles. A title is
composed of several chapters.
Depending on the disc, no chapters may
be recorded.

CPRM
“Content Protection for Recordable
Media” is a technology for protecting
digital entertainment content on
recordable media.

Dolby Digital (page 47)

The BD-ROM format supports Java for
interactive functions.
“BD-J” offers content providers almost
unlimited functionality when creating
interactive BD-ROM titles.

Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to multi-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is
stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer
channel in this format. Dolby Digital
provides the same discrete channels of
high quality digital audio found in
“Dolby Digital” theater surround sound
systems. Good channel separation is
realized because all of the channel data is
recorded discretely and little
deterioration occurs because all channel
data processing is digital.

BD-R (page 7)

Dolby Digital Plus (page 48)

*1 A high definition specification that
utilizes1080 effective scanning lines and
the interlace format.
*2 A high definition specification that utilizes
720 effective scanning lines and the
progressive format.

BD-J application

BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a
recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc,
available in the same capacities as the
BD below. Since contents can be
recorded and cannot be overwritten, a
BD-R can be used to archive valuable
data or storing and distributing video
material.

BD-RE (page 7)
BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a
recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc,
available in the same capacities as the
BD below. The re-recordable feature
makes extensive editing and timeshifting applications possible

Developed as an extension to Dolby
Digital, the audio coding technology
supports 7.1 multi-channel surround
sound. Since this player can convert
multi-channel surround sound signals to
5.1 channel, conventional AV amplifiers
(receivers) with a Dolby Digital decoder
can deliver the sound.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic)
(page 47)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for
surround sound. When the input signal
contains a surround component, the Pro
Logic process outputs the front, center
and rear signals. The rear channel is
monaural.

Dolby TrueHD (page 48)
Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding
technology that supports up to 8
channels of multi-channel surround
sound for the next generation optical
discs. The reproduced sound is true to
the original source bit-for-bit.

DTS (page 47)
Digital audio compression technology
that Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
developed. This technology conforms to
multi-channel surround sound. The rear
channel is stereo and there is a discrete
subwoofer channel in this format. DTS
provides the same discrete channels of
high quality digital audio.
Good channel separation is realized
because all of the channel data is
recorded discretely and little
deterioration occurs because all channel
data processing is digital.

DTS-HD (page 47)
DTS-HD is an extended format of the
Coherent Acoustics audio coding
system, which also encompasses DTS
Digital Surround, DTS-ES, and DTS 96/
24. DTS-HD is highly flexible in
supporting the number of discrete
surround sound channels. While 7.1ch
surround sound is planned for Blu-ray
Discs, the audio signals can be
downmixed to 5.1 or 2 channels for
backward compatibility, and the
reproduced audio quality can either be at
the bit rate of DTS Digital Surround or
the lossless mode.

Additional Information

The AVCHD format is a high definition
digital video camera format used to
record SD (standard definition) or HD
(high definition) signals of either the
1080i specification*1 or the 720p
specification*2 on DVDs, using efficient
data compression coding technology.
The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is
adopted to compress video data, and the
Dolby Digital or Linear PCM is used to
compress audio data. The MPEG-4
AVC/H.264 format is capable of
compressing images at higher efficiency
than that of the conventional image
compression format. The MPEG-4
AVC/ H.264 format enables a high
definition (HD) video signal shot on a
digital video camera recorder to be
recorded on DVDs in the same way as
for a standard definition (SD) television
signal.

BD-ROM (page 6)

DVD VIDEO (page 6)
A disc format that contains up to eight
hours of moving pictures on a disc the
same diameter as a CD. A single-layer
single sided DVD holds up to 4.7 GB; a
double layer single-sided DVD, 8.5 GB;
a single layer double-sided DVD, 9.4
GB; double-layer double-sided DVD, 17
GB. The MPEG 2 format is adopted for
the efficient video data compression.
The variable rate coding technology that
changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture is
adopted for reproducing high-quality
pictures. Audio information is recorded
in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby
Digital, allowing for a realistic audio
presence.

Glossary

DVD-R (page 6)

Progressive format

A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the
same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents
can be recorded only once to a DVD-R,
and will have the same format as a DVD
VIDEO. The DVD-R has two different
modes: VR mode and Video mode.
DVDs created in Video mode have the
same format as a DVD VIDEO, while
discs created in VR (Video Recording)
mode allow the contents to be
programmed or edited.

Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire
image at once as a single frame. This
means that while the Interlace format can
show 30 frames/60 fields in one second,
the Progressive format can show 60
frames in one second. The overall
picture quality increases and still images,
text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.

DVD-RW (page 6)

Pop-up menu

A DVD-RW is a recordable and
rewritable disc that is the same size as a
DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two
different modes: VR mode and Video
mode. DVDs created in Video mode
have the same format as a DVD VIDEO,
while discs created in VR (Video
Recording) mode allow the contents to

Film-based software, Video-based
software
DVDs can be classified as Film-based or
Video-based software. Film-based
DVDs contain the same images (24
frames per second) that are shown at

such as television dramas or sitcoms,
display images at 30 frames (or 60
fields) per second.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
HDMI is an interface that supports both
video and audio on a single digital
connection. The HDMI connection
carries standard to high definition video
signals and multi-channel audio signals
to AV components such as HDMI
equipped TVs, in digital form without
degradation.
The HDMI specification supports HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection
technology for digital entertainment
contents for HDMI.

Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line
of an image as a single “field” and is the
standard method for displaying images
on television. The even number field
shows the even numbered lines of an
image, and the odd numbered field
shows the odd numbered lines of an
image.

MPEG-2
One of the video data compression
schemes established by the Moving
Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which is
adopted for DVD VIDEOs and digital
broadcasts worldwide. The scheme
specifies MPEG-2 PS (Program Stream)
for recordable media such as a DVD
VIDEO, and MPEG-2 TS (Transport
Stream) for digital broadcasts and other
communications.
