Precautions
This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the
limits set out in the EMC
Directive using a connection
cable shorter than 3 metres.

On safety
Should any solid object or
liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the recorder and have it
checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.

About the hard disk drive
The hard disk has a high storage
density, which enables long
recording durations and quick
access to the written data.
However, it can easily be
damaged by shock, vibration or
dust, and should be kept away
from magnets. To avoid losing
important data, observe the
following precautions.
• Do not apply a strong shock to
the recorder.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location subject to mechanical
vibrations or in an unstable
location.
• Do not place the recorder on
top of a hot surface, such as a
VCR or amplifier (receiver).
• Do not use the recorder in a
place subject to extreme
changes in temperature
(temperature gradient less
than 10 °C/hour).
• Do not move the recorder
with its mains lead connected.
• Do not disconnect the mains
lead while the power is on.
• Do not move the recorder for
one minute after you have
unplugged the mains lead.
• Do not attempt to replace or
upgrade the hard disk by
yourself, as this may result in
malfunction.
• When disconnecting the
mains lead, turn off the power
and make sure that the hard
disk drive is not operating (for
at least 30 seconds after the
power indicator has turned off
and all recording stopped).

If the hard disk drive should
malfunction, you cannot
recover lost data. The hard disk
drive is only a temporary
storage space.

About repairing the hard
disk drive
• The contents of the hard disk
drive may be checked in case
of repair or inspection during
a malfunction or
modification. However, the
contents will not be backed up
or saved by Sony.
• If the hard disk needs to be
formatted or replaced, it will
be done at the discretion of
Sony. All contents of the hard
disk drive will be erased,
including contents that violate
copyright laws.

On power sources
• The recorder is not
disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long
as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the recorder
itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the
recorder for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the
recorder from the wall outlet.
To disconnect the mains lead,
grasp the plug itself; never
pull the cord.
• Observe following points to
prevent the mains lead being
damaged. Do not use the
mains lead if it is damaged, as
doing so may result in an
electric shock or fire.
– Do not pinch the mains lead
between the recorder and
wall, shelf, etc.
– Do not put anything heavy
on the mains lead or pull on
the mains lead itself.

On AC adaptor
• Use the supplied AC adaptor
for this recorder, as other
adaptors may cause a
malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or
reverse-engineer.

• Do not confine the AC
adaptor in a closed place such
as a bookshelf or an AV
cabinet.
• Do not connect the AC
adaptor to a traveler’s electric
transformer, which may
generate heat and cause a
malfunction.
• Do not drop or apply shock.

On placement
• Place the recorder in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
recorder.
• Do not place the recorder on a
soft surface such as a rug that
might block the ventilation
holes.
• Do not place the recorder in a
confined space such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place the recorder in
an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the recorder away from
equipment with strong
magnets, such as microwave
ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on
the recorder.

On recording
Make trial recordings before
making the actual recording.

On compensation for lost
recordings
Sony is not liable and will not
compensate for any lost
recordings or relevant losses,
including when recordings are
not made due to reasons
including recorder failure, or
when the contents of a
recording are lost or damaged as
a result of recorder failure or

recorder. Sony will not restore,
recover, or replicate the
recorded contents under any
circumstances.

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.

LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of
this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also
counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License,
version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

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.

Additional Information

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

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.

,continued

47

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 nonfree 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 nonfree 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 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.

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.

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.

Additional Information

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 machinereadable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used
for software interchange.

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.

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.

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.)

,continued

49

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 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.

Legal Terms
0. Definitions
Throughout this license, the terms ‘package’, ‘FreeType
Project’, and ‘FreeType archive’ refer to the set of files
originally distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert
Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the ‘FreeType Project’, be
they named as alpha, beta or final release.
‘You’ refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where
‘using’ is a generic term including compiling the project’s
source code as well as linking it to form a ‘program’ or
‘executable’. This program is referred to as ‘a program using
the FreeType engine’.
This license applies to all files distributed in the original
FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and
documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its original,
unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. If you
are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by this
license, you must contact us to verify this.
The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT

EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT

2. Redistribution

Introduction

This license applies to all files found in such packages, and
which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license
affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs,
documentation and makefiles, at the very least.
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG
(Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage
inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware
products alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:
• We don’t promise that this software works. However, we
will be interested in any kind of bug reports. (‘as is’
distribution)
• You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or
full form, without having to pay us. (‘royalty-free’ usage)
• You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use
it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge
somewhere in your documentation that you have used the
FreeType code. (‘credits’)
We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this
software, with or without modifications, in commercial
products.
We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and
assume no liability related to The FreeType Project.
Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/
disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus
encourage you to use the following text:
Portions of this software are copyright © The FreeType
Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved.
Please replace © with the value from the FreeType
version you actually use.

This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and
irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile,
display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and
sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code
forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to
authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted
herein, subject to the following conditions:
• Redistribution of source code must retain this license file
(‘FTL.TXT’) unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes
to the original files must be clearly indicated in
accompanying documentation. The copyright notices of the
unaltered, original files must be preserved in all copies of
source files.
• Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that
states that the software is based in part of the work of the
FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also
encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in
your documentation, though this isn’t mandatory.

Additional Information

The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive
packages; some of them may contain, in addition to the
FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions which
rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.

These conditions apply to any software derived from or based
on the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files. If you
use our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need
be paid to us.
3. Advertising
Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use
the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or
promotional purposes without specific prior written
permission.
We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the
following phrases to refer to this software in your
documentation or advertising materials: ‘FreeType Project’,
‘FreeType Engine’, ‘FreeType library’, or ‘FreeType
Distribution’.
As you have not signed this license, you are not required to
accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted
material, only this license, or another one contracted with the
authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it.

Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the
terms of this license.

Keep this important
information about
how to re-tune your
Digital TV Recorder
during the digital TV
switchover

Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choices and new services. Starting in late 2007
and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.
Please see the overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital.
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation leading the process of digital TV switchover in the
UK. Digital UK provides impartial information on what people need to do to prepare for the move to
digital, and when they need to do it.

How the switchover affects Digital TV Recorders (DTR) including Freeview+ models and
DVD Recorders with Freeview built in:
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to retune your digital TV recorder in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels, and also to pick
up new ones. Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover, will advise you when you need to
re-tune during the switchover.
If you find you can’t receive the extra digital channels, it may be because your area is not covered by
Freeview yet or that you need an aerial upgrade. Visit www.digital.co.uk to check.
