Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Harman Kardon DMC 1000

The DMC 1000 merges a high-end DVD player, including upscaling to 1080p with an HDMI™ output, with a media server capable of storing up to 60,000 songs on its 250Gb hard drive. Simultaneous playback of different tracks is possible in up to four zones, or you may link any or all of the zones to each other.

Thanks to Gracenote® MusicID,®* all content recorded from a CD to the DMC 1000’s hard drive is identified by album name, artist and genre, with additional information to show the title of each track. Even better, for most popular albums, the DMC 1000 will display the cover art when connected to the Internet. The content is automatically organized by the identification fields and by the cover, and you may select it and program playlists to suit any mood or occasion. The graphical presentation of system content is available in both high-definition and standarddefinition outputs, for crisp, easy-to-read displays on any video screen.

To enable you to get the maximum quality from DVDs, the DVD is equipped with the latest in design techniques, including advanced 10-bit video digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and Video (composite), S-Video and RGB video (RGB via SCART) outputs, to ensure that you get all the quality inherent in today’s DVD medium. For optimum playback of NTSC and PAL DVD with compatible high-definition display devices, DVD is equipped with progressive component video outputs.

When used with an HDMI-compatible audio/video receiver and video display, the program quality is preserved. By passing an uncompressed signal, degradation is virtually nonexistent. And the single-cable connection eliminates the problem of wire management.

If you have not yet upgraded to an HDMI video display, you may still enjoy pristine picture quality with the DMC 1000’s precision video DACs, which output a Y/Pr/Pb progressive-scan component signal and composite and S-video. Thus, no matter what type of video display used, you will see images that are the closest thing to the original film or performance this side of your local theater.

When playing audio CDs, the playback quality is state-of-the-art, matching that of the finest players available.

In addition to DVD and CD playback, the DMC 1000 offers audio and still-image playback from both solid-state media cards and USB drives. You can even record analog sources such as your old tapes, cassettes and even vinyl records (with an optional, external phono preamp) to store virtually any audio content for instant playback. And the DMC 1000 allows content to be transferred from the hard drive to the memory cards or a USB drive, or even a recordable CD. This flexibility lets

you take your music with you in a wide range of portable players, or in your car.

Additional features of the DMC 1000 include iPod audio playback through Harman Kardon’s optional The Bridge accessory, with charging and navigation available to any zone in your system. System control options include the unit’s backlit remote, optional external IR sensor/receivers, RS232-based control for popular home automation systems, custom-programmed home network control and even wireless control through a Windows Mobile®-based PDA when an optional wireless bridge is connected.

If you have additional questions about this product or its installation or operation that are not answered in this manual, please contact your dealer, as he is your best source of local infor mation.

INTRODUCTION 3

Terminology

Since they share some of the characteristics and technology of CD players, many of the terms and operational concepts used in a DVD player are similar to what you may be familiar with from CD players and changers, or older video disc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if this is your first DVD product, some of the terms used to describe the features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar. The following explanations should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of the DVD format and the DVD.

With the arrival of DVD, disc data capacity has increased dramatically. On a DVD Video disc most of this capacity is taken up by MPEG 2 video and the multichannel movie soundtrack in Dolby Digital and/or DTS. This information is compressed.

Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a video image in relation to its height. A conventional video screen is four units wide for every three units of height, that’s why the ratio is called ”4:3”. Newer wide aspect ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every nine units of height, making them more like the screen in a movie theater. The program material on a DVD may be recorded in either format and, in addition, you may configure the DVD to play back in either format, depending on the features recorded on a disc.

Media Library: The Media Library refers to the content stored on the DMC 1000’s internal harddisc drive. It contains all of the content that you have transferred to the DMC 1000, including copies of audio CDs, captures of audio streams from the Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs, and MP3 audio and JPEG image files transferred from memory cards, discs or USB drives. The Media Library automatically organizes the content so that you may view it by track name, album, artist, genre, cover art (when available) or playlists that you have created. When a multizone system has been connected, each zone may access different content stored in the Media Library. When connected to other properly programmed devices in the home using the Network Jack or the RS-232 Port, the Media Library may be used as a server, allowing you to enjoy content throughout your home.

Multizone: A multizone system is used to distribute audio to various rooms in the house so that the occupants of each room may independently choose different program material. The DMC 1000 permits up to four different zones to stream audio simultaneously. Multizone control is usually set up by the custom installer, using either control devices connected to a home network, or devices connected to the DMC 1000’s RS-232 port.

Server: A server is a computer device with a large amount of storage that delivers content to other devices. The DMC 1000 may be accessed as a server from a home network when appropriate devices are connected. When placed in Server Mode, the DMC 1000 may still be used as a server, even though its four zones are inactive.

Zone: A zone is a section of a multizone system in which all loudspeakers in the zone play the same source program. By connecting the DMC 1000’s audio outputs for a specific zone to a multichannel amplifier, you may include a number of loudspeakers in a variety of room locations within the zone. Example: A four-channel amplifier connected to the Zone 2 Outputs may power a pair of speakers in the living room and a stereo ceiling speaker in the connected dining room, so that you and your guests may enjoy the same program anywhere within the zone.

Component Video: This form of video signal eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splitting the signal into a separate luminance channel (the “Y” signal channel) and two color-difference signals (the Pr and Pb signal channels). With a component video connection, you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such as the moiré patterns often seen on check-patterned cloth. However, in order to benefit from component video, you must have a video display with Y/Pr/Pb component video inputs. Do not connect the component video outputs of the DMC 1000 to the standard composite or S-video inputs of a TV or recorder.

HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection): HDCP is the specification for

protecting digitally encoded content from unauthorized copying when it is transmitted from a DVD player (or other video source) to a video display using HDMI or DVI connections. In order to take advantage of the high-resolution output of the DMC 1000 via its HDMI output, your display must be HDCP-compliant. Virtually all displays with HDMI inputs are HDCP-compliant, but not all DVI-equipped displays are. If you are using the DMC 1000 with an optional HDMI-toDVI cable or adapter, check the owner’s manual for your display to determine whether it is HDCP-compliant.

™

(High-Definition Multimedia

HDMI Interface

™

): HDMI is a serial-bus form of

communication between the DVD player and the video display or audio/video receiver. With 5Gbps of bandwidth, it is capable of passing uncompressed digital audio and high-definition digital video using a single cable. With HDMI, the DMC 1000 is capable of outputting highresolution (720p or 1080p) video and

5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio, with the convenience of just a single cable connection.

JPEG Files: JPEG stands for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed a standard for compressing still images, such as photographs. JPEG files may be created on a personal computer by importing images from a digital camera, or scanning printed photographs. These files may be burned onto a compact disc. The DMC 1000 is capable of recognizing JPEG files and enabling you to view them on your video screen.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program. There can be as many chapters within a title as the producers decide to include. Most discs include only one title, but some may have more than one, to give you a “Double Feature” presentation.

Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chapters and titles. Chapters are the sub-sections programmed into a single title on a disc. Chapters may be compared to the individual tracks on an audio CD.

4 TERMINOLOGY

Terminology

RGB Video: This is a new form of video signal

that eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splitting the signal into the three fundamental colors Red, Green and Blue (RGB). With an RGB connection (via SCART), you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such as the moiré patterns often seen on checkered patterned cloths. However, in order to benefit from RGB video, you must have a video display with an RGB compatible SCART input.

Progressive Scan: Due to the immense data storage capacity of DVD, images are nowadays stored progressively (intact, rather than interlaced). This allow all of the lines in each frame (odd and even) to be shown at the same time. DMC 1000 comes with true progressive scan video output resulting in a 40% greater light output than a conventional TV and a stunningly detailed, high definition image with absence of visible scanlines and motion artifacts.

WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media an audio compression format that was developed by the Microsoft

Corporation for use with

Audio) is

its Windows Media Player. WMA files can be even smaller in size than MP3 files, while maintaining similar quality. The DMC 1000 is among those DVD players capable of playing discs containing WMA files. Note that Windows Media Player uses other file formats; however, the DMC 1000 is only capable of playing files that end in the “.wma” extension. See page 27 for more information on WMA file support.

Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to show up to four different views of the same scene in a program. When a disc is encoded with multiple-angle information, pressing the Angle button will enable you to switch between these different views. Note that at present, few discs take advantage of this capability and, when they do, the multiple-angle technology may only be present for short periods of time within the disc. Producers will usually insert some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the availability of multiple viewing angles.

Reading: This is a message that you will see after you´ve loaded the disc and the tray has closed. It refers to the fact that the player must first examine the contents of the disc to see if it is a CD or DVD, and then extract the information about the type of material on the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of titles and more. The slight delay while the contents of the disc are read is normal.

Resume: The operation of the Stop Button on the DVD works differently from what you are used to on CD players. On a traditional CD player, when you press the Stop button, the unit does just that: it stops playback. On a CD player, when you press the start button again, the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD, however, you have two options when playing DVD discs. Pressing Stop once will stop playback, but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This means that you can turn the machine off and, when you press play the next time, the disc will resume or continue from the point on the disc where the Stop button was pressed. This is helpful if you are watching a movie and must interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button twice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the disc is played again, it will start from the beginning.

In resume mode, the cover of the DVD will be displayed, if available. Otherwise, the Harman Kardon screen will appear.

6 FEATURES

Features

 Playback capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA,

JPEG, MP3, VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVDRW and DVD+RW discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

 The DMC 1000 is compatible with most discs

recorded with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 8, as well as JPEG still images. However, note that variations in the encoder or codec used and the bit rate of the encoding may affect the DMC 1000’s ability to play back a specific disc. As a result, we cannot guarantee complete compatibility with all encoders and versions of the codecs. For best results, we recommend that MP3 files be encoded at bit rates ranging between 32kbps and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded at bit rates between 64kbps and 320kbps. Although the DMC 1000 is capable of playing some WMA 9 files, not all features of version 9 are supported.

For your reference:

 Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound

compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation, supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

 Linear PCM is a signal recording format used

in CDs. While CDs are recorded in

44.1kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48kHz/16 bit up to 96kHz /24 bit.

 If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround

decoder connected to the DVD’s analog AUDIO OUT connectors, thanks to the ”Downmix” function of the DVD you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles encoded with Dolby Surround.

 The DVD is designed to digitally output

96kHz-PCM audio with a 96kHz sampling rate. However, some 96kHz DVD's may include copy protection codes that do not permit digital output. For full 96kHz fidelity from these discs, use the analog outputs of the DVD.

IMPORTANT: If your surround processor/D/A converter does not support 96kHz PCM audio, you must use the DVD analog outputs for full 96kHz fidelity with these discs.

Caution for the optical/coaxial digital audio outputs:

 When connecting an amplifier (with an

optical/coaxial digital input ) which does not contain a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS decoder, be sure to select ”PCM” as initial setting in the ”Digital Output” menu (see also page 19). Otherwise, any attempt to play a DVD may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

 CD’s can be played as they would normally

be played.

Note:

 Some first generation DTS decoders which do

not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the DMC 1000 player.

 Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM signals are



passed through the HDMI Output

Audio materials.

Notes when connecting the optical digital audio cable (optional)

 Gently push the cable plug through the

built-in shutter that covers the optical digital audio output and connect the cable firmly so that the configurations of both the cable and the connector match.

Dolby Digital and DTS

Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of film. Both of these formats provide six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer. The latest 6.1-formats, Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES, even one (or two) additional "Surround Back" channel for a center between the rears.

Remember, that Dolby Digital or DTS will only play 5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected the optical or coaxial output of the DMC 1000 player to a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc was recorded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.

System Setup

Turn On the DMC 1000

The DMC 1000 has four power states, each designed to minimize unnecessary power consumption.

The description of each mode and the DMC 1000’s response to the power controls is shown in Table A7 in the Appendix.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When the HDMI Output is used, turn on the system components in reverse order, starting with the video display, then any receiver or processor, and finally turn on the DMC

1000. The first time the system is used, turn it on as fol-

lows: Switch the Master Power Switch to the line posi-

tion (I), placing the DMC 1000 in Full-Off power mode.

The “Start DMC 1000” message will appear on the front panel, and the “Starting . . . ” message will appear on screen. Allow the system a few minutes to fully start up.

The first time the DMC 1000 is turned on, the End User License Agreement (EULA) will appear. See Figure 1. The unit will not respond to any other commands until you have scrolled through the entire agreement, and accepted its terms. A copy of the complete EULA appears in the back of this manual, starting on page 37.

Display the Setup Menu

The first time the system is used, the Setup Menu should be configured. After Initial Setup is completed, unless the user’s requirements change, it is usually not necessary to revisit the Setup Menu. Press the Setup Button to display the Setup Menu (see Figure 3).

Figure 3 – Media Library Setup Menu The Setup Menu, as with all menus on the DMC

1000, is navigated using the F/G/D/E Navigation Buttons. Press the Enter Button to select an item highlighted on screen.

There are six Setup Menus: Media Library, DVD Player, Audio, Video, General and Advanced.

Media Library Setup

The Media Library Setup Menu determines what action the DMC 1000 takes when an audio disc is loaded. Any time an audio CD is loaded, it is automatically copied at high speed to the Media Library. The DMC 1000 does not play audio CDs directly from the disc; playback is from the Media Library.

Audio Disc Insert Preferences: Select Record Only to copy the disc to the Media Library without playing it, or Play and Record to begin playback from the Media Library after recording commences.

Audio Encoding Quality: Select the format to be used for recording audio CDs to the Media Library.

The DVD Player Setup menu (shown in Figure 4) contains settings that affect DVD playback. The other media sources are not affected by these settings.

The DMC 1000’s Setup menu screens follow the same basic format. Select a menu by highlighting its tab on the left side of the screen. The menu’s settings will be previewed, but you will not be able to make any changes. See Figure 2. Press the Enter Button to make adjustments to the menu.

The first setting in the menu will automatically be selected. If you wish to change its value, press the Enter Button to view the available options in a dropdown menu.

Use the option, and press the Enter Button to select it.

If you wish to close the dropdown menu without changing the setting, press the Back Button.

The DVD Player Setup Menu contains the following settings.

Preferred Subtitle Language: Defines your preferred subtitle language. Every time a disc will be played that contains this subtitle language, it will be shown automatically. If you do not find your preferred language in the list of options, you can select your preferred language by highlighting OTHER. Press ENTER and use the Navigation Buttons to select your preferred language from the list shown on the screen. Note that only those languages will be available that are actually on the DVD you would like to play. You can also set the preferred subtitle language to OFF. In that case no subtitles will be shown.

Buttons to highlight the desired

Preferred Audio Language: Defines your preferred audio language. Every time a disc is played that contains this audio language, it will be activated automatically. If you do not find your preferred language in the list of options, you can select your preferred language by highlighting OTHER. Press ENTER and use the Navigation Buttons to select your preferred language from the list shown on the screen. Note that only those languages will be available that are actually on the DVD you would like to play.

Parental Control: Defines a password used to control viewing of restricted programs. The five standard US rating symbols are ”G” (General, level 2), ”PG” (Parental Guidance, level 4), ”PG13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old, level 4), ”R” (Restricted, level 6) and ”NC 17” (from 17 years old, level 7). The DVD will accommodate a total of eight rating steps, as set by the DVD creators. These additional steps allow for more critical control of program playback for all audiences. Level 8: All DVDs can be played. Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/ children can be played. Level 1: DVDs for children can be played; DVDs for adults/general audiences are prohibited. Follow the explanations on the screen to set a new password.

Video Presentation Mode: Select Original to display videos and pictures in their native aspect ratio, or Full when the DMC 1000 is connected to a 4:3 aspect ratio display.

When Full is selected, 16:9 materials will appear on 4:3 displays in “letterbox” format, with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. On 16:9 displays, 16:9 materials will fill the screen, but 4:3 materials will appear with black or gray bars on the left and right sides of the screen.

NOTE:The DMC 1000’s own menu screens are always output in widescreen (16:9) mode at a maximum resolution of 720p, depending on the display’s capabilities. When viewed on a 4:3 display, the menu screens will appear in letterbox format.

Dynamic Range Compression: When playing specially encoded Dolby Digital DVDs, turn on Dynamic Range Compression to reduce the levels of louder passages while maintaining the intelligibility of dialog and softer passages. This feature is useful to avoid disturbing others while watching action-packed DVDs. This is similar to the “Night Mode” function on many DVD players and A/V receivers.

DVD Bass Management: If all six of the Zone 1 Analog Audio Outputs are connected to a receiver or processor that does not perform bass management on its 6-channel audio inputs, turn this setting on and configure the speaker settings in the Audio Setup menu.

If the receiver is capable of analog bass management, leave this setting in the default Bypass mode and configure the receiver’s speaker settings. When this setting is off, the DMC 1000 speaker settings will have no effect.

Select the Stereo/LtRt setting to output a 2-channel recording, or a downmix of a surround-encoded program, through the Left- and Right-Channel jacks of the Zone 1 Analog Audio Outputs. When the Bass Management setting is set to either of the other settings, these jacks will only output the front left- and right-channel information, omitting the center and surround information.

NOTE: The Stereo setting is required when either the Digital Audio Out Format or HDMI Audio Out settings in the Audio Setup menu are set to Uncompressed (i.e., output a 2-channel PCM signal).

Content Play Mode: This setting compensates for disc authoring errors that occur when the frame rate is not properly maintained during the conversion from film to video. It only affects progressive scan display using the HDMI Output or the Component Video Outputs. Three choices are available:

• Auto: This is the recommended setting. The

DMC 1000 analyzes the signals from the DVD, determines whether it was originally recorded on video or shot on film, and adjusts the output accordingly.

• Film: Choose this option for material that was

originally shot on film, even though you are viewing it on video via a DVD.

• Video: Choose this option for material that

was shot directly to video, such as concerts and sports programming.

SYSTEM SETUP 21

System Setup

Audio Setup

Each setting applies to a certain type of audio output, but only for Zone 1. The audio output to Zones 2, 3 and 4 is always full-range, 2-channel analog line level.

Figure 5 – Audio Setup Menu Speaker Setup: A dialog box appears, allowing

you to program the Speaker Size settings used with the Zone 1 (6-Channel) Analog Audio Outputs. The settings are dependent on the DVD Bass Management setting in the DVD Player Setup menu.

• DVD Bass Management Bypass: This is the

default system setting, and should be used when the receiver or processor is capable of performing bass management. Configure the speaker settings on the receiver. All main speakers default to the Large (full-range) setting, and the subwoofer is on. These settings may not be changed.

• DVD Bass Management On: Use this setting

if the receiver is not capable of performing bass management, to ensure that the low frequencies steered to each channel match the frequency-response capabilities of the speakers.

 The default settings are Small (only fre-

quencies of 200Hz and higher are passed) for all of the main speakers, and the subwoofer is on.

 With the left and right speakers set to

Large, the center speaker may be set to Small or None, but not Large. Change the Center and Surround settings to None for stereo mode when listening to 2-channel recordings. The subwoofer will remain on. Use this configuration when you desire the added power of a separate subwoofer for the low frequencies.

 Change the left and right speaker setting

to Small when using a speaker system consisting of small satellites and a subwoofer. The Center and Surround settings will automatically change to Small, and the Subwoofer setting will remain on; neither setting may be changed.

• DVD Bass Management Stereo/LtRt: Use

this setting to output a 2-channel signal without a separate low-frequency channel for the subwoofer. The front left and right speakers default to the Large (full-range) setting, with the center, surround and subwoofer speakers all disabled. These settings may not be changed.

Select Save when you have finished your adjustments, or Cancel to return to the Audio Setup Menu without making any changes.

Digital Audio Out Format: If your system includes 5.1 digital audio surround decoding (Dolby Digital and/or DTS), select Compressed as the digital output. In that case all audio signals will be output with their original format. If your system only includes stereo and/or Dolby Pro Logic, select Uncompressed. Then all audio signals will be output in PCM format only (DTS will output no signal).

HDMI Audio Out: This setting determines the format of the audio output via the HDMI Output. It is dependent upon the capabilities of your receiver or video display (if the DMC 1000 is connected directly to a display). We recommend that you leave it at the Auto setting, in which case the DMC 1000 will communicate with the device it’s connected to and automatically select a setting that is compatible with that device.

• Auto: This is the default setting, and it is

recommended that you leave the HDMI Audio Out line at this setting. The DMC 1000 will automatically select the correct setting, based on the capabilities of your receiver or video display.

• Uncompressed: At this setting, all digital

audio is decoded and output as PCM streams. For example, a DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack will be decoded, and 5.1 PCM streams (one per channel) will be output through the HDMI Output for playback by your receiver.

• Compressed: This setting may be used with

receivers that are capable of decoding digital multichannel formats from the HDMI stream.

• Off: Use this setting if your receiver is not

capable of processing the audio portion of the HDMI stream and you have made a separate digital audio connection from the DMC 1000 to the receiver. No audio will be passed to the HDMI Output.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When the HDMI Output is active for audio, the Optical and Coaxial Digital Audio Outputs are muted. If the HDMI Output is being used for video only and the S/P-DIF outputs are required for audio, turn the HDMI Audio Out setting Off.

Video Setup

The Video Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Instruction Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings.

These settings are usually set automatically by the DMC 1000, depending on which video output is in use. See Figure 6.

Figure 6 – Video Setup Menu Video Output: When both the analog video

outputs and the HDMI Output are connected, select the desired video output. Both HDMI and the analog video outputs are not available simultaneously. Example: The HDMI Output is connected to a display in the main listening room and the Composite Video Output is being distributed to a multizone system.

22 SYSTEM SETUP

System Setup

Output Resolution: This setting may be used to

change the video output resolution. It affects the Component Video Outputs and the HDMI Output, but with different allowed settings depending upon whether the HDMI Output is in use. This setting may also be changed by pressing the Video Mode Button on the remote repeatedly to cycle through the available settings options.

• HDMI Output In Use: With the HDMI Output

connected to another device, this setting defaults to Auto, but you may change it to 576p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. We recommend leaving the setting at Auto, in which the DMC 1000 sets the video output based on the capabilities of the device it is connected to. If you attempt to select a video output resolution that your video display is not capable of handling, such as 1080p for a display that is only 1080i-capable, you will not see a picture.

• HDMI Output Not In Use: When no device is

connected to the HDMI Output, this setting only applies to the Component Video Outputs. Only two values are available: 576i (the default) and 576p. Select 576p only if your video display’s component video inputs are capable of handling a progressive scan signal. If it isn’t, you will see no picture or a distorted picture when this setting is changed to 576p. In that case, press the Video Mode Button on the remote to correct it.

Picture Mode: Select from the Normal, Vivid, Sport and Nature picture settings to optimize viewing of various types of programs. This setting is a matter of taste, and there is no incorrect setting.

Video Noise Reduction: We recommend that you leave this setting at the default “Off”. If video signal noise is observed when using theanalog video outputs, turn this setting on to reduce the noise and improve the picture quality.

General Setup

These general system settings should be accessed with caution. See Figure 7. If you are uncertain about the proper setting for any of these options, consult with your dealer or installer, or contact Harman Kardon Customer Service at www.harmankardon.com.

SYSTEM SETUP 23

DMC Basics

Turning On the DMC 1000

The DMC 1000 has four power states, each designed to minimize unnecessary power consumption.

• Full-Off Mode (Dim Blue) – The DMC 1000,

including its hard-disc drive, is fully powered down, but is ready to be turned on using the front panel or remote control.

• Sleep (Standby) Mode (Amber) – The DMC

1000 will not respond to any commands other than to power on.

• Server Mode (Amber) – The DMC 1000

may be controlled via the RS-232 Port or the Network Connection, but the on-screen menu system is off.

• Full-Power Mode (Bright Blue) –The DMC

1000 operates normally.

See Table A7 in the Appendix for a description of each mode and the DMC 1000’s response to the power controls.

NOTE:There is technically a fifth state of “no power,” in which the power cord is unplugged and/or the rear-panel Master Power Switch is turned off in the circle position (0). However, it is unlikely you will see this situation in normal use.

Press the front-panel Power Control or remote Power On Button to turn on the DMC 1000 when the Power Indicator is dim blue or amber.

When the Power Indicator is bright blue, press the front-panel Power Control or remote Power Off Button to switch to Server Mode (Power Indicator turns amber), or press and hold either control to turn the DMC 1000 fully off (Power Indicator turns dim blue).

When the DMC 1000 is in Server Mode (Power Indicator is amber and Server Mode message is displayed), press the Power Off Button on the remote to switch to Sleep Mode (Power Indicator remains amber).

Using the DMC 1000

After turn-on, the DMC 1000 will display its Main Menu (see Figure 9). If the Media Library is loaded with content, any cover art will appear in a mosaic in the background.

Figure 9 – Main Menu From the Main Menu, you may play content from

the Media Library or select another source for

playback. You may program a Play Queue of items for immediate playback, or a Playlist that is stored for later retrieval. Record an audio stream from a device connected to the Auxiliary Inputs, or copy a playlist to any of the portable media, including a recordable CD, a memory card or a USB drive. You may also control audio playback in up to four separate zones at a time. The DMC 1000’s sophisticated yet easy-to-use on-screen menus will guide you at every stage.

Playing DVDs and CDs

With the DMC 1000 turned on, press the Open/Close Button on the front panel or remote. Gently place the disc in the tray, making sure to seat it properly. Refer to the Media Compatibility section for details on which disc types may be played in the DMC 1000. Other disc types will not play. The DMC 1000 will take a few moments to read and identify the disc.

If the disc is a DVD, it will automatically begin playing. Although we recommend using the disc’s own menu system for navigation, audio track selection and subtitle language selection, see the DVD Playback section for instructions on using the DMC 1000’s commands for these functions.

If the disc is an audio CD, the DMC 1000 will automatically copy it to the Media Library at high speed, displaying the progress of the recording as a percentage. The DMC 1000 is capable of playing back the recording almost as it is being made (if your unit has been set up for Play and Record operation). Once the recording is completed, you may remove the disc and continue to listen to the content as it is played from the Media Library.

When a CD or other music content is added to the Media Library, the DMC 1000 accesses Gracenote MusicID, which includes a vast online database containing identifying information for almost every commercial CD in existence, as well as cover art for the vast majority of CDs. This powerful service enhances the listening experience, as the user is able to view album, artist and track information and the cover art during playback. This information is then stored in the Media Library. A copy of the database resides in the DMC 1000 so that even when it is not connected to the Internet, the identifying information for most popular CDs (except for cover art) is retrieved and stored with the audio in the Media Library. However, for the latest and most complete version of the database, we recommend connecting the DMC 1000 to a high-speed Internet access point. Music recognition technology and related data are provided by Gracenote. Gracenote is the industry standard in music recognition technology and related content delivery. For more information, visit www.gracenote.com.

NOTE:When no cover art is available, the DMC 1000 will display a generic musical-note icon. This may occur if the DMC 1000 is not connected to the Internet, if a noncommercial disc is loaded,

or in rare instances when there is a gap in the database.

DVD Playback

The DMC 1000 supports all of the features and options of standard DVDs. However, not all discs offer each option at all times. If the “Function Prohibited” icon (Ø) appears, then you are attempting a function that is not available at that time or with that media, and it does not indicate a problem with the DMC 1000.

DMC Basics

Notes: Playback features may not be available

during the opening credits of a movie. This is intended by the disc author and is not a failure of the DMC 1000.

Playback of a DVD with 96kHz/24-bit audio requires the use of circuitry normally used for other features. Accordingly, Slow Play Reverse and Step Advance features are not available with these discs.

Depending on the structure of a VCD disc, the functions Slow Reverse and Step Reverse may be prohibited or have no function and Fast Playback (Search) may not function.

Chapters and Titles

DVDs contain one or more features organized as titles. We recommend selecting titles using the disc’s menu system, where they are identified by name.

Because titles can run for several hours, they are generally divided into chapters, each of which is typically no more than a few minutes long, encompassing one or more scenes. Chapter selection allows you to go straight to your favorite section of the movie, or to easily skip past sections you’ve already viewed. Most discs offer a chapter selection menu that includes thumbnail images for easy identification.

To select a chapter or title by number, press the Find Button on the remote to display the Find Menu. See Figure 10. Pressing any Numeric Key will also display the Find Menu, with the number shown in the Chapter cell. Press the Enter Button

to jump directly to that chapter.

Figure 10 – Find Menu To select a title by number, navigate to the Title

cell, enter the title number and press the Enter Button.

To begin play from a specific time location within the title, also known as “Time Search,” navigate to the Time cell and enter the desired starting point. Press the Enter Button, and play will immediately begin at the selected time.

You may also select a title or chapter, using the Status Display.

Using the On-Screen Status Display

When a DVD is playing, you may press the

Operation

Audio Playback From the Media Library

The DMC 1000’s Media Library makes it easy to store all of your audio content in one place for convenient playback in your main home theater room, in three remote “zones” (if you have set up the DMC 1000 as part of a multizone system), on a device connected to a home network, or anywhere else when you transfer the content to portable media.

When you first turn on the DMC 1000, the assumption is that you will most likely want to listen to content stored in your Media Library, and the Main Menu (see Figure 14) is configured that way.

Figure 14 – Main Menu Press the Enter Button to select the highlighted

“Play” option, and the DMC 1000 will offer you a variety of sorting options. Large music collections may be easier to manage when sorted by artist or album. As shown in Figure 14, you may select from one of six possible sorts, or views, of the Media Library.

Cover Art: Displays a mosaic of album covers retrieved by Gracenote MusicID when the DMC 1000 is connected to the Internet. Cover art may be organized alphabetically by name, by artist or in the order added, starting with the most recent additions. As described below, use

M/N/K/L

• Delete: Select this command if you wish to remove the content from the Media Library. Be aware that the DMC 1000 does not play audio CD content directly from the disc. If you load the CD again, it will be recopied to the Media Library.

Cover Art Sort

You may have noticed the cover art mosaic that appears in the background of the Main Menu when you turn on the DMC 1000. With the Main Menu on screen, select the Cover Art sorting option for the Media Library and the focus shifts to this mosaic. Use the Navigation Buttons to move the “magnifying glass” to the desired album cover, identifying the artist and album.

Press the Enter Button to display the playback options: Play, Add to Queue, Add to Playlist, View Album, Edit Info and Delete Album. Select View Album to switch to the regular Media Library view with the album expanded to view the tracks. The other playback commands function in the same way as in the Media Library view.

NOTE: When no cover art is available (e.g., if the DMC 1000 was not connected to the Internet when the CD was loaded, if the disc is noncommercial or if there is a gap in the database), the album will not appear in the Cover Art sort, although you may select it when viewing the Media Library by Tracks, Artists, Albums, Playlists or Genres. A musical note icon, such as the one shown in Figure 18, will appear in place of the missing cover art.

Data Media

The DMC 1000 recognizes media containing data files in the MP3, JPEG and WAV formats.

Load a data CD in the disc player, or insert a memory card in the appropriate card slot, or connect a USB drive to either USB Port, and the device will be available for selection as a media source in the Main Menu. See Figure 19.

Figure 19 – Source Selection When a data source is selected, the only sorting

options are Audio and Photos. Select one, and the regular Media Library will appear, except that unlike audio CDs, which are organized as albums containing individual tracks for each song, data sources are organized as folders containing individual files for each song or still image. However, navigation of the content is similar to audio. See Figure 20.

Figure 20 – Data CD Press the Enter Button to expand a folder, or

select the Go Up command to collapse it. The other commands function as usual, and the Add to Library command allows you to import the content to the Media Library for playback after the media has been removed from the DMC

1000.

The Play Queue and Playlists

The DMC 1000 allows you to program playlists that are saved for future playback, plus a play queue of items for immediate play.

The Play Queue

The Play Queue is simply a list of all items that are queued up to be played. There are two ways to add an item to the play queue:

1. Display the desired content on screen by selecting the correct source (the Media Library, a card slot, a data CD or a USB device) and selecting the audio or still-image content. Scroll to the desired content, e.g., a

To view the play queue, press the Menu Button to display the Main Menu, and navigate to the Play Queue line. Press the Enter Button. The Play Queue is preserved unless the DMC 1000 is powered down to Full-Off mode (by pressing and holding the Power Off Button on the remote so that the front-panel Power Indicator turns dim blue). If the Play Queue line in the Main Menu is dimmed, the Play Queue has been erased.

The Play Queue is not available during DVD playback, or when The Bridge is the media source.

You may create playlists that are permanently saved by name for future playback.

Programming a Playlist

Playlists are not only a convenient way to store a queue of your favorite songs, but they are required to transfer audio from the Media Library to any of the portable media. See the Content Transfer section for more information.

To program a playlist, display the desired content on screen by selecting the correct source (the Media Library, a card slot, a data CD or a USB device) and selecting the audio or stillimage content. Scroll to the desired content, e.g., a song track or file, use the Navigation Buttons to highlight the Add to Playlist command, and press the Enter Button.

A pop-up screen will prompt you to select from an existing playlist, to name a new playlist, or to select an empty prenamed playlist, such as Dance or Chill. See Figure 21. If you select one of the prenamed playlists and have already used that name, a number will be added to the end to differentiate the new playlist. The pop-up dialog box displays up to four playlists at a time. Scroll up or down to view the remaining playlists.

Using

The Bridge is an optional dock that may be used with a compatible iPod (not included). When The Bridge is connected to its proprietary input on the DMC 1000 and the iPod is docked, you may enjoy the audio and still-image materials stored on your iPod.

When an iPod is docked in The Bridge, the IPOD FOUND message will appear on the front panel, and a banner with The Bridge icon and the Detected message will appear on screen. The iPod will be in “disc mode,” and its screen will display the “OK to disconnect” message. Do not physically undock the iPod while its content is playing. However, you may select the Undock command at any time.

Select The Bridge as the media source from the Main Menu. The menu shown in Figure 22 will

appear.

Figure 22 – The Bridge menu Navigate the contents of the iPod in a similar

manner to other data media sources. Select between the audio (music) and still-image (photo) content. When Music is selected, you may sort it using views similar to those in the iPod’s own menu: Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Podcasts, Genres, Composers or Audio Books.

Only three options are available for iPod content:

Play Now: Begins play of the selected item immediately. The Play Queue is erased.

Open: If an individual track is selected, it begins play immediately. If the selected item is in any other category, e.g., an artist or album, this command opens the item so you may view its contents.

28 OPERATION

Operation

Undock iPod: This command ends play of any

content on the iPod and returns to the Media Library view of the Main Menu. The iPod’s own menu appears on its screen. To resume playback, physically undock the iPod from The Bridge and redock it.

Press the Back Button to return to the previous menu level, similar to pressing the Menu button on the iPod itself.

You may not import content from the iPod to the Media Library, and you may not add the iPod’s content to the Play Queue or a playlist. You may not record from the Media Library to an iPod docked in The Bridge. These are limitations of the iPod’s design, and do not reflect a problem with the DMC 1000.

NOTE: The Bridge may not be compatible with some iPod models, particularly the iPhone and the iPod touch. To enjoy content stored on these devices, connect a cable from the device's headphone output to the DMC 1000's Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs.

Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs

In addition to digital media, the DMC 1000 also accommodates analog source devices, such as cassette decks and turntables, but mainly as a recording source. Connect the device to the rearpanel Auxiliary Inputs.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not connect a turntable directly to the DMC 1000 unless it includes an onboard phono preamp or is connected to an external phono preamp which is then plugged into the Auxiliary Inputs. Phono preamps may be available from specialty audio shops or electronics stores.

The device connected to the Auxiliary Inputs is not available for source selection in the usual manner. It is selected as a recording source, as described in the Content Transfer section, although it is possible to monitor the source without making a recording.

Content Transfer

One of the DMC 1000’s most exciting features is its ability to transfer content from one type of media to another, and to store your library of music on its internal hard-disc drive.

The method for making recordings varies slightly, depending on the source media.

Audio CDs

As soon as an audio CD is loaded, the DMC 1000 begins the process of copying it to the Media Library at high speed. It displays the progress of the recording as a percentage recorded.

At the same time, the DMC 1000 automatically begins playing the copy of the CD from the Media Library, if you have programmed the DMC 1000’s Setup Menu to do so.

The DMC 1000 uses Gracenote MusicID to identify the CD, tag it with the correct information and import the album cover art, if available. If the DMC 1000 is not connected to the Internet, Gracenote MusicID will tag the content using the offline database stored on the DMC 1000’s harddisc drive; however, it will not display any cover art. For homemade discs, the service will attempt to identify the content based on any tags that were created when the disc was recorded.

After the DMC 1000 has finished copying the CD to the Media Library, you may remove the disc and store it.

NOTE: The DMC 1000 initially copies the CD to .wav files. If you have adjusted the Audio Encoding Quality setting in the Media Library Setup menu to one of the MP3 formats, the DMC 1000 will then encode the .wav files as MP3 files at the specified sampling rate. If you attempt to transfer the CD from the Media Library to a memory card, recordable CD or USB drive before the encoding is completed, the files will be transferred as .wav files. Since .wav files are much larger than MP3 files, depending on your destination media, you may not have enough space to complete the transfer.

Data CDs

Data CDs are discs that contain sound and image files. They are recognized when loaded, but operation is handled differently.

To transfer the CD’s content to the Media Library:

1. Select it as a playback source, and view the audio files. Still-image files may not be added to the Media Library.

2. The CD is listed as a single folder, which you may expand as usual. Select the Add to Library option to import it to the Media Library. Audio files are transferred in their original format, e.g., as MP3 files.

Auxiliary Inputs

With the analog audio device connected to the Auxiliary Inputs and the media loaded, either press the Record Button, or press the Menu Button to view the Main Menu. Scroll to the Record line and press the Enter Button.

Select “Auxiliary” from the dropdown menu as the recording source. See Figure 23.

Figure 23 – Select a Recording Source Next, select the Media Library (the only option)

as the recording destination. The screen shown in Figure 24 will appear.

Figure 24 – Record From the Auxiliary Inputs Select the Listen to Aux In option to monitor the

analog device. Begin playing the device, and cue it up to the desired starting point. Example: most cassette tapes include about five seconds of blank leader tape, plus additional blank tape at the beginning. Play until the audio begins so as to minimize the amount of dead air in the recording.

ENGLISH

OPERATION 29

Operation

NOTE:The DMC 1000 does not detect the pres-

ence or absence of an audio signal at the Auxiliary Inputs.

When you are ready to begin the recording, select the Start Recording option and begin playback of the analog device. You may experiment by making several recordings and deleting those you don’t want.

While the recording is in progress, a screen similar to the one shown in Figure 25 will appear.

Figure 25 – Recording in Progress Make a note of the file name automatically gen-

erated by the DMC 1000 to easily locate the recording later. The DMC 1000 also displays the elapsed time, and a graphic and numeric display of the space available on the hard-disc drive.

Select the Pause Recording option to pause the recording without starting a new file when recording is resumed. This feature is useful if you wish to record a series of audio tracks as one file while skipping breaks in between, such as when recording an entire side of a cassette tape into one file.

Select the Stop Recording option to end recording of the file. The screen shown in Figure 26 will appear.

Figure 26 – Recording Complete Select Done if you are finished, or Record Next to

record another track, which returns to the screen shown in Figure 25, allowing you to cue up the next track.

To locate the newly recorded tracks, view the Media Library by Track and by Last Added. The track will be displayed at the top of the list. You may also sort the Track view by Name, looking for tracks starting with “AUX.” You may wish to view the Tracks by Artist, as all tracks with artist “Unknown” will be listed first, and the recordings will appear here.

Select the Edit Info option to rename the tracks and add other identifying information. Enter as much information as possible about the track to enable Gracenote MusicID to locate any cover art and properly tag the track. This is particularly useful when you have recorded commercial albums from cassette, vinyl or other analog media.

Media Library

You may transfer audio content from the Media Library to any of the portable media – memory cards installed in the card slots, a USB device connected to one of the USB Ports, or a recordable CD loaded in the Disc Player.

1. Create a playlist of the desired content. The Play Queue may not be used for this purpose.

2. Press the Record Button, or select the Record command from the Main Menu, and select the Media Library as the source, with the other media as the destination.

NOTES:

• When a blank recordable CD has been loaded,

you will be presented with the options of recording it as an audio disc or as an MP3 disc. Audio discs conform to the “red book” standard and may be played in any standard CD player. Many CD players are not capable of playing MP3 discs. Check with the manufacturer of the player for more information.

• Any standard CD-R disc may be used. Special

Music/Audio Recordable CDs are not required.

3. The DMC 1000 will display the playlists in the Media Library. Select one or more playlists for recording.

4. When all selections have been made, select the “Record Selected” option to begin the transfer.

Selections are transferred in the same format in which they are stored in the Media Library. Thus, if your CDs are automatically recorded to the Media Library in the MP3 format, they will be transferred to the portable media as MP3s. Analog audio streams are recorded from the Auxiliary Inputs as lossless WAV files, and are transferred in that format to the portable media.

NOTE: If recordings made from the Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs were tagged by Gracenote MusicID, the DMC 1000 will generate new file names in the format of [artist] – [three-digit track number].wav. The tags will be transferred to the portable media with the file. Thus, if you upload the file from the media to your PC using software that is capable of recognizing the tags, the track will appear with its correct song title and other information.

Solid-State Media

You may transfer content from any of the solidstate media (memory cards or USB device) to the Media Library in a similar fashion to recording from the Media Library. However, it is not necessary to create a playlist, since the data media are already organized as file folders.

1. Press the Record Button, or select the Record command from the Main Menu, and select the solid-state media as the source, with the Media Library (the only option) as the destination.

2. The DMC 1000 will display the folders and files stored on the media. Select one or more items for recording.

3. When all selections have been made, select the “Record Selected” option to begin the transfer.

NOTE: Content may only be transferred from one of the solid-state media to the Media Library, not from one of the solid-state media to the other. If you wish to transfer content from one type of media to another, first add the content to the Media Library, and then record it to the other type of media.

Operation

Multizone Operation

The DMC 1000 is capable of streaming audio to up to four independent zones simultaneously, allowing users in different areas of the home to enjoy unique programs. The zones may easily be linked or unlinked to each other, to play the same program in more than one zone. Manage the zones by displaying the Main Menu and selecting the Zones command. The screen shown in Figure 27 will appear.

Figure 27 – Zones Menu Zone 1 is the current zone, as indicated by the

checkmark in the box to its left. Each zone is assigned a different color box, indicating none of the zones are linked to other zones.

To rename a zone, highlight the button containing its name and press the Enter Button. Select one of the default names, such as Den or Dining Room, or create a new name. The DMC 1000’s character-entry dialog box will appear to guide you. (See Figure 16.)

To link zones together, highlight the line for what will be the “master” zone. If other zones are linked to the master zone, content playing in the master zone is streamed to any zones linked to it. Select the Zone Links option, and then select one or more of the other three zones to link to the master zone.

To unlink zones, highlight the master zone and select the Zone Links option. Click on a linked zone to select it for unlinking.

To begin playback in any zone, navigate to its line, make sure the colored box to the left of the zone name is highlighted and press the Enter Button. A checkmark will appear in the box. Press the Menu Button to display the Main Menu, and the current zone, along with any other zones linked to it, will be identified in the upper right corner of the video display. Select content for playback in that zone as usual.

When you return to the Zones menu, the cover art for the current selection, or a generic icon when no cover art was found, appears to the left of the line for each active zone.

Interrupt playback to any zone by navigating to it and selecting the Pause Playback option. The DMC 1000 will remember its location in the current selection when the Play Button is pressed to resume playback. When the Stop Playback option is selected, the DMC 1000 will not remember the location, and when the Play Button is pressed, playback will start from the beginning of the selection.

17. Open Source. Certain libraries are licensed to You under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 2.1 (“GNU LGPL”). Harman is not allowed to sub-license the GNU LGPL libraries to You as You are deemed to have Your own direct license from the original licensee. Harman does not modify these libraries in any way. Harman hereby offers to You, upon Your request and for the actual costs of materials and shipping, all source code and object code files for all GNU LGPL libraries contained in the Software.

18. GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 2.1, February 1999

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.

38 EULA

Eula

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 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 nonfree 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.

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 con-

stitute 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; and 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; and 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.

ENGLISH

EULA 39

Eula

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machinereadable 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; and 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 exe-

cutable 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; and 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.

40 EULA

Eula

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.
