Notes About This  
Recorder  
On operation  
• If the recorder is brought directly from a  
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a  
very damp room, moisture may condense  
inside the recorder. Should this occur, the  
recorder may not operate properly. In this  
case, if the recorder is on, leave it on (if it  
is off, leave it off) for about an hour until  
the moisture evaporates.  
The recorder does not operate properly.  
, Press and hold the RESET button on the  
front panel (page 7) for more than 3  
seconds.  
, When static electricity, etc., causes the  
recorder to operate abnormally, turn off the  
recorder and wait until the power indicator  
on the front panel completely turns off.  
Then, unplug the recorder and after leaving  
it off for a while, plug it in again.  
• When you move the recorder, protect it  
from any shock. If you don’t, the hard disk  
drive may be damaged (page 3).  
On adjusting volume  
Do not turn up the volume while listening to  
a section with very low level inputs or no  
audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be  
damaged when a peak level section is  
played.  
The Parental Control does not work.  
, Check the “Parental Control” setup  
On cleaning  
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a  
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild  
detergent solution. Do not use any type of  
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent  
such as alcohol or benzine.  
On replacement of parts  
In the event that this unit is repaired,  
repaired parts may be collected for reuse or

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.  
Notices and Licenses for  
Software used in this  
Product  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and  
modification follow.  
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
GPL/LGPL LICENSED SOFTWARE  
The following GPL executables and LGPL libraries are used in  
this product and are subject to the GPL/LGPL License

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,  
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION  
0. This License applies to any program or other work which  
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may  
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  
The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and  
a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or  
any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work  
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or  
with modifications and/or translated into another language.  
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the  
term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are  
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act  
of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the  
Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based  
on the Program (independent of having been made by running  
the Program).  
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
Version 2, June 1991  
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.  
Copyright (C) 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.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the  
Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium,  
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on  
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of  
warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License  
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other  
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the  
Program.  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your  
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General  
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share  
and change free software-to make sure the software is free for  
all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the  
Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program  
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software  
Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General  
Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.  
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:  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom,  
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make  
sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free  
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you  
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can  
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;  
and that you know you can do these things.  
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent  
notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any  
change.  
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish,  
that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the  
Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no  
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.  
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.  
c) If the modified program normally reads commands  
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started  
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way,  
to print or display an announcement including an  
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no  
warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and  
that users may redistribute the program under these  
conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this  
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but  
does not normally print such an announcement, your work  
based on the Program is not required to print an  
announcement.)  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,  
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the  
rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive  
or can get the source code. And you must show them these  
terms so they know their rights.  
We protect your rights with two steps:  
(1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which  
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the  
software.  
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make  
certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for  
this free software. If the software is modified by someone else  
and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they  
have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by  
others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations.  
,continued  
45  
 
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If  
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the  
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and  
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,  
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as  
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as  
part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the  
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,  
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire  
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote  
it.  
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have  
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to  
modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These  
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any  
work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of  
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for  
copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based  
on it.  
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based  
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license  
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the  
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not  
impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the  
rights granted herein.  
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.  
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third  
parties to this License.  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the  
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the  
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does  
not bring the other work under the scope of this License.  
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of  
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to  
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court  
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of  
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this  
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously  
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent  
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the  
Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not  
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those  
who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the  
only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to  
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.  
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based  
on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under  
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do  
one of the following:  
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding  
machine-readable source code, which must be distributed  
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium  
customarily used for software interchange; or,  
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least  
three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more  
than your cost of physically performing source distribution,  
a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding  
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1  
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software  
interchange; or,  
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.  
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to  
the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This  
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution  
and only if you received the program in object code or  
executable form with such an offer, in accord with  
Subsection b above.)  
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the  
work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,  
complete source code means all the source code for all modules  
it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus  
the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the  
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code  
distributed need not include anything that is normally  
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major  
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating  
system on which the executable runs, unless that component  
itself accompanies the executable.  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is  
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.  
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in  
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,  
the original copyright holder who places the Program under this  
License may add an explicit geographical distribution  
limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is  
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such  
case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the  
body of this License.  
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering  
access to copy from a designated place, then offering  
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place  
counts as distribution of the source code, even though third  
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the  
object code.  
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.  
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the  
Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any  
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the  
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights  
under this License.  
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you  
under this License will not have their licenses terminated so  
long as such parties remain in full compliance.  
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the  
Program specifies a version number of this License which  
applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of  
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of  
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If  
the Program does not specify a version number of this License,  
you may choose any version ever published by the Free  
Software Foundation.  
46  
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other  
free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write  
to the author to ask for permission. For software which is

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.  
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.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest  
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively  
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at  
least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice  
is found.  
This 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.  
<one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of  
what it does.>  
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or  
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public  
License as published by the Free Software Foundation;  
either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later  
version.  
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.  
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,  
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the  
implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS  
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General  
Public License for more details.  
You should have received a copy of the GNU General  
Public License along with this program; if not, write to the  
Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth  
Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid  
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender  
these rights. These restrictions translate to certain  
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or  
if you modify it.  
,continued  
47  
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether  
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that  
we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can  
get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you  
must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they  
can relink them with the library after making changes to the  
library and recompiling it. And you must show them these  
terms so they know their rights.  
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,  
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION  
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or  
other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright  
holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed  
under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also  
called “this License”).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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”.)  
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.  
“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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License  
because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the  
ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free  
software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-  
free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the  
ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However,  
the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special  
circumstances.  
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:  
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to  
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it  
becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free  
programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent  
case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-  
free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the  
free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General  
Public License.  
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.  
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free  
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large  
body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU  
C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to  
use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the  
GNU/Linux operating system.  
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at  
no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.  
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function  
or a table of data to be supplied by an application program  
that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when  
the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith  
effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not  
supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and  
performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.  
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.  
(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.)  
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.  
48  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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.  
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.)  
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.  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to  
copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to  
copy the above specified materials from the same place.  
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these  
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.  
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.  
For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the  
Library” must include any data and utility programs needed for  
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special  
exception, the materials to be distributed need not include  
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary  
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)  
of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless  
that component itself accompanies the executable.  
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.  
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.  
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.)  
,continued  
49  
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the  
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other  
library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute  
such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution  
of the work based on the Library and of the other library  
facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these  
two things:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
NO WARRANTY  
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.  
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.  
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third  
parties with this License.  
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of  
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to  
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court  
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of  
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this  
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously  
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent  
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the  
Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit  
royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who  
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only  
way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to  
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.  
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  
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.

2. Redistribution  
This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and  
irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile,  
display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and  
sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code  
forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to  
authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted  
herein, subject to the following conditions:  
Introduction  
The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive  
packages; some of them may contain, in addition to the  
FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions which  
rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.  
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.  
Redistribution of source code must retain this license file  
(‘FTL.TXT’) unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes  
to the original files must be clearly indicated in  
accompanying documentation. The copyright notices of the  
unaltered, original files must be preserved in all copies of  
source files.  
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG  
(Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage  
inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware  
products alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:  
Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimerthat  
states that the software is based in part of the work of the  
FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also  
encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in  
your documentation, though this isn’t mandatory.  
We don’t promise that this software works. However, we  
will be interested in any kind of bug reports. (‘as is’  
distribution)  
You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or  
full form, without having to pay us. (‘royalty-free’ usage)  
These conditions apply to any software derived from or based  
on the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files. If you  
use our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need  
be paid to us.  
You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use  
it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge  
somewhere in your documentation that you have used the  
FreeType code. (‘credits’)  
3. Advertising  
We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this  
software, with or without modifications, in commercial  
products.  
Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use  
the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or  
promotional purposes without specific prior written  
permission.  
We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and  
assume no liability related to The FreeType Project.  
We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the  
following phrases to refer to this software in your  
documentation or advertising materials: ‘FreeType Project’,  
‘FreeType Engine’, ‘FreeType library’, or ‘FreeType  
Distribution’.  
Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/  
disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus  
encourage you to use the following text:  
Portions of this software are copyright ©<year> The FreeType  
As you have not signed this license, you are not required to  
accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted  
material, only this license, or another one contracted with the  
authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it.  
Please replace ©<year> with the value from the FreeType  
version you actually use.

Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType  
Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the  
terms of this license.

Keep this important  
information about  
how to re-tune your  
Digital TV Recorder  
during the digital TV  
switchover  
Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choices and new services. Starting in late 2007  
and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.  
Please see the overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital.  
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation leading the process of digital TV switchover in the  
UK. Digital UK provides impartial information on what people need to do to prepare for the move to  
digital, and when they need to do it.  
How the switchover affects Digital TV Recorders (DTR) including Freeview+ models and  
DVD Recorders with Freeview built in:  
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to re-  
tune your digital TV recorder in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels, and also to pick  
up new ones. Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover, will advise you when you need to  
re-tune during the switchover.  
If you find you can’t receive the extra digital channels, it may be because your area is not covered by  
Freeview yet or that you need an aerial upgrade. Visit www.digital.co.uk to check.
