HD DVD with high-definition content required for HD  
viewing. Viewing high-definition content and up-converting  
DVD content may require an HDCP capable DVI or HDMI  
input on your display device. Up-conversion of DVD content  
will result in near HD picture quality. Firmware update may  
be required for some interactive features depending on  
content, which may also require an always-on broadband  
internet connection. Some features may require additional  
bandwidth. Some recordable media may not be supported.  
Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS support for up to  
5.1 channels (DTS HD support for DTS core only). MP3/  
WMA audio files not supported. HDMI audio support for  
PCM only. Because HD DVD is a new format that makes  
use of new technologies, certain disc, digital connection and  
other compatibility and/or performance issues are possible.  
This may, in rare cases, include disc freezing while  
Certain system requirements  
For high definition video playback:  
• HD display (some discs may require HDCP capable input)  
• HD DVD disc with HD content

• In case the menu of “Resolution Setting” disappears, make composite video (yellow) connection to restore it, then select the  
resolution which is compatible with the connected TV.  
HD DVD DVD-Video  
For best viewing of film movie material (24p output)  
Movies that are produced on film, as opposed to video, are traditionally captured at a frame rate of 24 frames per second.  
Your player can maintain the 24 frames per second frame rate of such movies, allowing you to enjoy them in their  
native form. To enable this feature, connect an HD display capable of accepting a 1080p/24Hz signal and select “up to  
1080p/24Hz.”  
Note  
• Most film based HD DVDs display images at 24 frames per second and video based HD DVDs display images at 30 frames or  
60 fields per second. Depending on the content, “up to 1080p/24Hz” may lower smoothness of playback and/or reduce vertical  
resolution. In the case of video based HD DVDs, we recommend that “up to 1080p/24Hz” setting is not used.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs  
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright © 19yy name of author  
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for  
details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to  
redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.  
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest  
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free  
software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach  
them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of  
warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer  
to where the full notice is found.  
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the  
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands  
you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they  
could even be mouse-clicks or menu items – whatever suits your program.  
<One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it  
does.>  
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your  
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program; if necessary.  
Here is a sample; alter the names:

This 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.  
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program  
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may  
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the  
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public  
License instead of this License.  
E x h i b i t B  
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.  
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February  
1999  
Copyright ©1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place,  
Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and  
distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not  
allowed.  
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.  
[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.]  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors  
to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These  
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies  
of the library or if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a  
fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must  
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other  
code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients,  
so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library  
and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their  
rights.  
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs  
enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For  
example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables  
many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its  
variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.  
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the  
users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with  
the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a  
modified version of the Library.  
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.
