CAUTION

The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,
make sure the unit has been installed so that the
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,
the power cord should also be unplugged from the
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time
(for example, when on vacation).

Wash hands after handling

This product is for general household purposes. Any
failure due to use for other than household purposes
(such as long-term use for business purposes in a
restaurant or use in a car or ship) and which
requires repair will be charged for even during the
warranty period.

K041_En

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged,
contact the Pioneer service center on the back cover, or
your dealer for a replacement.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

@Start your volume control at a low setting.
@Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:

@Set the dial and leave it there.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Since hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel
Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,

thunderclap

140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.

playback using the quartz oscillator of AV receiver or

amplifier. This eliminates the influence of the jitter
generated upon transfer which can adversely affect the
sound quality.

•This player supports the “PQLS 2ch Audio” that is only
activated when playing an audio CD (CD-DA).

• The PQLS function is only activated when a Pioneer
AV receiver or amplifier compatible with the “PQLS
2ch Audio” function is connected directly to the

FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions
which rely on, or relate to, the Fr ee Type Project.
This license applies to all files found in such packages, and
which do not fall under their own explicit license. The
license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test
programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very least.
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG

OVERVIEW
This package contains C software to implement JPEG
image compression and decompression. JPEG
(pronounced “jay-peg”) is a standardized compression
method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is
intended for compressing real-world scenes; line drawings,
cartoons and other non-reali
suit. JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not
exactly identical to the input image. Hence you must not
use JPEG if you have to have identical output bits. However,
on typical photographic images, very good compression
levels can be obtained with no visible change, and
remarkably high compression levels are possible if you can
tolerate a low-quality image. For more details, see the
references, or just experiment with various compression
settings.
This software implements JPEG baseline, extended­sequential, and progressive compression processes.
Provision is made for supporting all variants of these
processes, although some uncommon parameter settings

distributing code for the arithmetic-coding variants of
JPEG; see LEGAL ISSUES. We have made no provision for
supporting the hierarchical or lossless processes defined
in the standard.
We provide a set of library routines for reading and writing
JPEG image files, plus two sample applications “cjpeg” and
“djpeg”, which use the library to perform conversion
between JPEG and some other popular image file formats.
The library is intended to be reused in other applications.
In order to support file co
have included considerable functionality beyond the bare
JPEG coding/decoding capability; for example, the color
quantization modules are not strictly part of JPEG
decoding, but they are essential for output to colormapped
file formats or colormapped displays. These extra functions
can be compiled out of the library if not required for a
particular application. We have also included jpegtran, a
utility for lossless transcoding between different JPEG
processes, and “rdjpgcom” and “wrjpgcom”, two simple
applications for in
in JFIF files.
The emphasis in designing this software has been on
achieving portability and flexibility, while also making it fast
enough to be useful. In particular, the software is not
intended to be read as a tutorial on JPEG. (See the
REFERENCES section for introductory material.) Rather, it
is intended to be reliable, portable, industrial-strength
code. We do not claim to have achieved that goal in every
aspect of the software, but we strive for it.
We welcome the use of this software as a component of
commercial products. No royalty is required, but we do ask
for an acknowledgement in product documentation, as
described under LEGAL ISSUES.

It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG
spec is covered by patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and

07

Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be
used without obtaining one or more licenses. For this
reason, support for arithmetic coding has been removed
from the free JPEG software. (Since arithmetic coding
provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman
mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will
support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no patent
restrictions on the remaining code.
The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and
write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW
patent, GIF reading support
and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce
uncompressed GIFs. This technique does not use the LZW
algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but
are readable by all standard GIF decoders.
We are required to state that

The best short technical introduction to the JPEG
compression algorithm is

Wallace, Gregory K. “The JPEG Still Picture Compression

Standard”,

Communications of the ACM, April 1991 (vol. 34 no. 4),

pp. 30-44.
(Adjacent articles in that issue discuss MPEG motion
picture compression, applications of JPEG, and related
topics.) If you don’t have the CACM issue handy, a
PostScript file containing a revised version of Wallace’s
article is available at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
wallace.ps.gz. The file (actually a preprint for an article that
appeared in IEEE Trans. Consumer Electronics) omits the

images that appeared in CACM, but it includes

sample
corrections and some added material. Note: the Wallace
article is copyright ACM and IEEE, and it may not be used
for commercial purposes.
A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to
JPEG can be found in The Data Compression Book by Mark
Nelson and Jean-loup Gailly, published by M&T Books (Ne w
York), 2nd ed. 1996, ISBN 1-55851-434-1. This book provides
good explanations and example C code for a multitude of
compression methods including JPEG. It is an excellent
source if you are comfortable reading C code but don’t
know much about data compression in general. The book’s
JPEG sample code is far from industrial-strength, but when
you are ready to look at a full implementation, you’ve got
one here...
The best full description of JPEG is the textbook “JPEG Still
Image Data Compressio
Pennebaker and Joan L. Mitchell, published by Van
Nostrand Reinhold, 1993, ISBN 0-442-01272-1. Price
US$59.95, 638 pp. The book includes the complete text of
the ISO JPEG standards (DIS 10918-1 and draft DIS 10918-

2). This is by far the most complete exposition of JPEG in
existence, and we highly recommend it.
The JPEG standard itself is not available electronically; you
must order a paper copy through ISO or ITU. (Unless you
feel a need to own a certified official copy, we recommend
buying the Pennebaker and Mitchell book instead; it’s
much cheaper and includes a great deal of useful
explanatory material.) In the USA, copies of the standard
may be ordered from ANSI Sales at [phone], o r from
Global Engineering Documents at [phone]. (ANSI
doesn’t take credit card orders
cheap: as of 1992, ANSI was charging $95 for Part 1 and $47
for Part 2, plus 7% shipping/handling. The standard is
divided into two parts, Part 1 being the actual specification,
while Part 2 covers compliance testing methods. Part 1 is
titled “Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone
Still Images, Part 1: Requirements and guide lines” and has
document numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-1, ITU-T T.81. Part 2 is
titled “Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone
Still Images, Part 2: Compliance testing” and has
document numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-2, ITU-T T.83.
Some extensions to the original JPEG standard are defined
in JPEG Part 3, a newer ISO standard numbered ISO/IEC IS
10918-3 and ITU-T T.84. IJG currently does not support any
Part 3 extensions.

available via UUCP; contact [e-mail] for
information on retrieving files that way.
Numerous Internet sites maintain copies of the UUNET
files. However, only ftp.uu.net is guaranteed to have the
latest official version.
You can also obtain this software in DOS-compatible “zip”
archive format from the SimTel arch
ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/), or on
CompuServe in the Graphics Support forum (GO
CIS:GRAPHSUP), library 12 JPEG Tools. Again, these
versions may sometimes lag behind the ftp.uu.net release.
The JPEG FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article is a
useful source of general information about JPEG. It is
updated constantly and therefore is not included in this
distribution. The FAQ is posted every two weeks to Usenet
newsgroups comp.graphics.misc, news.answers, and
other groups. It is available on the World Wide Web at http:/

RELATED SOFTWARE
Numerous viewing and image manipulation programs now
support JPEG. (Quite a few of them use this library to do so.)
The JPEG FAQ described above lists some of the more
popular free and shareware viewers, and tells where to
obtain them on Internet.
If you are on a Unix machine, we highly recommend Jef
Poskanzer’s free PBMPLUS software,
useful operations on PPM-format image files. In particular,
it can convert PPM images to and from a wide range of
other formats, thus making cjpeg/djpeg considerably more
useful. The latest version is distributed by the NetPBM
group, and is available from numerous sites, notably ftp://
wuarchive.wustl.edu/gr aphics/graphics/packages/
NetPBM/. Unfortunately PBMPLUS/NETPBM is not nearly
as portable as the IJG software is; you are likely to have
difficulty making it work on any non-Unix machine.
A different free JPEG implementation, written by the PVRG
group at Stanford, is available from ftp://

efun.stanford.edu/pub/jpeg/. This program is designed

v

ha
for research and experimentation rather than production
use; it is slower, harder to use, and less portable than the
IJG code, but it is easier to read and modify. Also, the PVRG
code supports lossless JPEG, which we do not. (On the
other hand, it doesn’t do progressive JPEG.)
FILE FORMAT WARS
Some JPEG programs produce files that are not compatible
with our library. The root of the problem is that the ISO
JPEG committee failed to specify a concrete file format.
Some vendors “filled in the blanks” on their own, creating
proprietary forma
example, none of the early commercial JPEG
implementations for the Macintosh were able to exchange
compressed files.)
The file format we have adopted is called JFIF (see
REFERENCES). This format has been agreed to by a
number of major commercial JPEG vendors, and it has
become the de facto standard. JFIF is a minimal or “low
end” representation. We recommend the use of TIFF/JPEG
(TIFF revision 6.0 as modified by T IFF Technical Note #2) for
“high end” applications that need to record a lot of
additional data about an image. TIFF/JPEG is fairly new and
not yet widely supported, unfortunately.
The upcoming JPEG Part 3 standard defines a file format
called SPIFF. SPIFF is interoperable with JFIF, in the sense
that most JFIF decoders should be able to read the most
common variant of SPIFF. SPIFF has some technical
advantages over
that it is an official standard rather than an informal one. At

this point it is unclear whether SPIFF will supersede JFIF or
whether JFIF will remain the de-facto standard. IJG inten ds
to support SPIFF once the standard is frozen, but we have
not decided whether it should become our default output
format or not. (In any case, our decoder will remain capable
of reading JFIF indefinitely.)
Various proprietary file formats incorporating JPEG
compression also exist. We have little or no sympathy for
the existence of these formats. Indeed, one of the original
reasons for developing this free
convergence on common, open format standards for JPEG
files. Don’t use a proprietary file format!
TO DO
The major thrust for v7 will probably be improvement of
visual quality. The current method for scaling the
quantization tables is known not to be very good at low Q
values. We also intend to investigate block boundary
smoothing, “poor man’s variable quantization”, and other
means of improving quality-vs-file-size performance
without sacrificing compatibility.
In future versions, we are considering supporting some of
the upcoming JPEG Part 3 extensions --- principally,
variable quantization and the SPIFF file format.

, speeding things up is of great interest.

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright © 1989, 1991 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.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU
General Public License is intended to guarantee your
freedom to share and change free software - to make sure
the software is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Softwa re Foundation’s
software and to any other program whose authors commit
to using it. (Some other Free
is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License
instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are

Software Fo

undation software

designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it, that you can change the software or use
pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
whether gratis or for a
the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too,
receive or can get the source code. And you must show
them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to
make certain that everyone understands that there is no
warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the o riginal, so that any
problems introdu
original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by
software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that

redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.

To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which
contains a notice placed by the copyrig
may be distributed under the terms of this General Public
License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such
program or work, and a “work based on the Program”
means either the Program or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as
“you”.
Activities other than copying, distribu
modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running
the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the
Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium,

provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice

and disclaimer of warran
that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or
work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry promin

notices stating that you changed the files and the date
of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or

publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived
from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as
a whole at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands

interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
that there is no warran

provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
program under these conditions, and telling the user

how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the
Program itself is interactive but does not normally
print such an announcement, your work based on the

Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a
whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived
from the Program, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this

License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections
when you distribute them as separate works. Bu
you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which
is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on the
Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based
on the Program with the Program (
on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium does not bring the other work under the scope
of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work
based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided
that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding

machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least

years,

to give any third party, for a charge no

three
more than your cost of physically performing source
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to

the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form

accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of
the work for making modifications to it. For an executable
work, complete source code means all the source code
for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However,
as a special exception, the source code distributed need
not include anything that is normally distributed (in
either source or binary form) with the major components
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself
ac
If distribution of executable or object code is made by
offering access to copy from a designated place, then
offering equivalent access to copy the source code from
the same pla ce co un ts as di stribution of the source c ode,
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Program except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have rec
from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying

t

or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distribu
it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work
based on the Program), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights
granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited
to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent

from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended to apply and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system, which is implemented by
public license practices. Many people have made
generou
distributed through that sys tem in reliance on consistent
application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose
that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Program under this License may add an explicit
geographical distribu
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or
among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/
or new versions of the General Public License from time
to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the

present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.

n

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If
the Program specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of
that version or of
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a
version number of this License, you may choose any
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10.If you wish to incorporate parts of the Prog ram into other
free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be
guided by the two goals of pres
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11.BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/
OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “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 PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12.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 PROGRAM 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 PROGRAM
(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 PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve
this is to make it free software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file

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

[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 i
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. O ur General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free
service if you wish); that you receive s ource 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

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether

To prot
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
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 non­free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically
or using a shared
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 Publ ic License. It als o provides other free
software developers Less of an advantage over co
non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we
use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries.
However, the Lesser license provides advanta ges in certain
special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special
need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain
library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve
this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library.
A more frequent case is that a free library does the same
job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is
little to gain by limiting the free
so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a p articular 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’ free
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
r program which contains a notice placed by the

he

ot
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 th
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, plu
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
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 co pies of the Library or an

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

portio
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

ble, the facility still operates, a nd performs whatever

a

ing

t
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

e Library, and can be reasonably considered

h

from t
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 ri
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 Licen se, versi

of t o th is L ice nse. (If a ne wer 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

ative of it, under

deriv

executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you accompany it with the complete
corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access
to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place
satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code,
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
source along with the object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of
the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by
being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that
uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a
derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside
the scope of this License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the
Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the
Library (because it contains portions of the Library),
rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable
is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states
terms
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, regardle
of w
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

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 o f t hi s L ice ns e. If th e w ork 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

c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at

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 compon
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

and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted,

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

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 p arties remain in full
compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you

ss

have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Library or its

ative works.

deriv
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

o

nditions. You may not impose any further restrictions

c
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 perti

igations, then as a consequence you may not

obl
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 paten
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free

nt

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 restric

certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted

in
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 versio
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 Softwar e Foundation.

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,

Cautions on use

07

Moving the player

If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc if
there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press
 STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby,
checking that the POWER OFF indication on the front
panel display goes off. Wait at least 10 seconds. Lastly,
disconnect the power cord.

Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate
at a high speed and may be damaged.

Place of installation

Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to which
the unit is connected.

Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor.
Keep it away from cassette decks or other components
easily affected by magnetism.

Avoid the following types of places:

•Places exposed to direct sunlight

•Humid or poorly ventilated places

•Extremely hot or cold places

• Places subject to vibr ation

•Dusty places

•Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens,
etc.)

 Do not place objects on top

Do not place objects on top of the player.

 Do not obstruct the ventilation
holes

Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and
do not cover the player with a cloth, etc. Doing so will
prevent heat dissipation and could lead to damage.

 Keep away from heat

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other
device generating heat. When installing in a rack, to avoid
the heat generated by the amplifier and other devices,
place it on a shelf below the amplifier whenever possible.

Turn the power off when not using the player

Depending on the conditions of the TV broadcast signals,
striped patterns may appear on the screen when the TV is
turned on while the player’s power is turned on. This is not
a malfunction with the player or TV. If this happens, turn
the player’s power off. In the same way, noise may be
heard in the sound of a radio.

Condensation

If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a
warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature
in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly
due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may
form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When
condensation is present, the player will not operate
properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand
at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power
turned on (t
condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and
playback will become possible.

Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player
is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If
this happens, move the player to a different place.

Cleaning the player

Normally, wipe the player with a soft cloth. For tough dirt,
apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water
to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then
wipe again with a dry cloth.

Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide
on the player could cause the print and coating to peel off.
Also, avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact
with the player for long periods of time, as this could
damage the cabinet.

When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., r ead the
wipe’s cautions carefully.

Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when
cleaning the player.

Caution for when the unit is installed in a rack with a glass door

Do not press the  OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control
to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The
door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the
unit could be damaged.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use,
but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust
or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service
center. Although lens cleaners for players are
commercially available, we advise against using them
since some may damage the lens.

Handling discs

Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Do not scratch the disc’s signal surface or let it get dirty.
Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.

56

En

Do not glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a
pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing
instrument. These could all damage the disc.

 Storing discs

Always store discs in their cases, and place the cases
vertically, avoiding places exposed to high temperature or
humidity, direct sunlight or extremely low temperatures.

Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.

 Cleaning discs

It may not be possible to play the disc if there are
fingerprints or dust on it. In this case, using a cleaning
cloth, etc., to wipe the disc gently from the center toward
the outer edge. Do not use a dirty cleaning cloth.

Troubleshooting

Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals.
Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.

For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wr ing out
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture
with a dry cloth.

 Specially shaped discs

Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.)
cannot be used on this player. Never use such discs, as
they will damage the player.

 Condensation on discs

If the disc is moved suddenly from a cold place into a
warm room (in winter, for example), water droplets
(condensation) may form on the disc surface. Discs will
not play properly if there is condensation on them.
Carefully wipe off the water d roplets from the disc surface
before using the disc.
