INTRODUCTION 3

Introduction

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

Thanks to Gracenote® MusicID,®* all contentrecorded from a CD to the DMC 1000’s harddrive is identified by album name, artist andgenre, with additional information to show thetitle of each track. Even better, for most popularalbums, the DMC 1000 will display the cover artwhen connected to the Internet. The content isautomatically organized by the identificationfields and by the cover, and you may select it andprogram playlists to suit any mood or occasion.The graphical presentation of system content isavailable in both high-definition and standard-definition outputs, for crisp, easy-to-read displayson any video screen.

To enable you to get the maximum quality fromDVDs, the DVD is equipped with the latest indesign techniques, including advanced 10-bitvideo digital-to-analog converters (DAC) andVideo (composite), S-Video and RGB video (RGBvia SCART) outputs, to ensure that you get all thequality inherent in today’s DVD medium. For optimum playback of NTSC and PAL DVD withcompatible high-definition display devices, DVD isequipped with progressive component video outputs.

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

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

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

In addition to DVD and CD playback, the DMC1000 offers audio and still-image playback fromboth solid-state media cards and USB drives. Youcan even record analog sources such as your oldtapes, cassettes and even vinyl records (with anoptional, external phono preamp) to store virtual-ly any audio content for instant playback. And theDMC 1000 allows content to be transferred fromthe hard drive to the memory cards or a USBdrive, or even a recordable CD. This flexibility lets

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

Additional features of the DMC 1000 includeiPod audio playback through Harman Kardon’soptional The Bridge accessory, with charging andnavigation available to any zone in your system.System control options include the unit’s backlitremote, optional external IR sensor/receivers, RS-232-based control for popular home automationsystems, custom-programmed home networkcontrol and even wireless control through aWindows Mobile®-based PDA when an optionalwireless bridge is connected.

If you have additional questions about this product or its installation or operation that arenot answered in this manual, please contact yourdealer, as he is your best source of local infor -mation.

4 TERMINOLOGY

TerminologySince they share some of the characteristics andtechnology of CD players, many of the terms andoperational concepts used in a DVD player aresimilar to what you may be familiar with from CDplayers and changers, or older video disc formatssuch as Laser Disc. However, if this is your firstDVD product, some of the terms used to describethe features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar.The following explanations should solve some ofthe mysteries of DVD, and help you to enjoy allthe power and flexibility of the DVD format andthe DVD.

With the arrival of DVD, disc data capacity hasincreased dramatically. On a DVD Video disc mostof this capacity is taken up by MPEG 2 video andthe multichannel movie soundtrack in DolbyDigital and/or DTS. This information is compressed.

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

Media Library: The Media Library refers to thecontent stored on the DMC 1000’s internal hard-disc drive. It contains all of the content that youhave transferred to the DMC 1000, includingcopies of audio CDs, captures of audio streamsfrom the Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs, and MP3audio and JPEG image files transferred frommemory cards, discs or USB drives. The MediaLibrary automatically organizes the content sothat you may view it by track name, album, artist,genre, cover art (when available) or playlists thatyou have created. When a multizone system hasbeen connected, each zone may access differentcontent stored in the Media Library. When con-nected to other properly programmed devices inthe home using the Network Jack or the RS-232Port, the Media Library may be used as a server,allowing you to enjoy content throughout yourhome.

Multizone: A multizone system is used to dis-tribute audio to various rooms in the house sothat the occupants of each room may independ-ently choose different program material. TheDMC 1000 permits up to four different zones tostream audio simultaneously. Multizone control isusually set up by the custom installer, usingeither control devices connected to a home net-work, or devices connected to the DMC 1000’sRS-232 port.

Server: A server is a computer device with alarge amount of storage that delivers content toother devices. The DMC 1000 may be accessedas a server from a home network when appropri-ate devices are connected. When placed in ServerMode, the DMC 1000 may still be used as a serv-er, even though its four zones are inactive.

Zone: A zone is a section of a multizone systemin which all loudspeakers in the zone play thesame source program. By connecting the DMC1000’s audio outputs for a specific zone to amultichannel amplifier, you may include a num-ber of loudspeakers in a variety of room locationswithin the zone. Example: A four-channel amplifi-er connected to the Zone 2 Outputs may power apair of speakers in the living room and a stereoceiling speaker in the connected dining room, sothat you and your guests may enjoy the sameprogram anywhere within the zone.

Component Video: This form of video signaleliminates many of the artifacts of traditionalcomposite video signals by splitting the signalinto a separate luminance channel (the “Y” signal channel) and two color-difference signals(the Pr and Pb signal channels). With a component video connection, you will seegreater picture resolution and eliminate manypicture imperfections such as the moiré patternsoften seen on check-patterned cloth. However, inorder to benefit from component video, you musthave a video display with Y/Pr/Pb componentvideo inputs. Do not connect the componentvideo outputs of the DMC 1000 to the standardcomposite or S-video inputs of a TV or recorder.

HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital ContentProtection): HDCP is the specification for protecting digitally encoded content from unauthorized copying when it is transmitted froma DVD player (or other video source) to a videodisplay using HDMI or DVI connections. In orderto take advantage of the high-resolution outputof the DMC 1000 via its HDMI output, your dis-play must be HDCP-compliant. Virtually all dis-plays with HDMI inputs are HDCP-compliant, butnot all DVI-equipped displays are. If you areusing the DMC 1000 with an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter, check the owner’s manualfor your display to determine whether it is HDCP-compliant.

HDMI™ (High-Definition MultimediaInterface™): HDMI is a serial-bus form of communication between the DVD player and thevideo display or audio/video receiver. With 5Gbpsof bandwidth, it is capable of passing uncompressed digital audio and high-definitiondigital video using a single cable. With HDMI, the DMC 1000 is capable of outputting high-resolution (720p or 1080p) video and 5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio,with the convenience of just a single cable connection.

JPEG Files: JPEG stands for the JointPhotographic Experts Group, which developed astandard for compressing still images, such asphotographs. JPEG files may be created on a personal computer by importing images from adigital camera, or scanning printed photographs.These files may be burned onto a compact disc.The DMC 1000 is capable of recognizing JPEGfiles and enabling you to view them on yourvideo screen.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entiremovie or program. There can be as many chapterswithin a title as the producers decide to include.Most discs include only one title, but some mayhave more than one, to give you a “DoubleFeature” presentation.

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

TERMINOLOGY 5

ENG

LISH

Terminology

RGB Video: This is a new form of video signalthat eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splittingthe signal into the three fundamental colorsRed, Green and Blue (RGB). With an RGB con-nection (via SCART), you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such as the moiré patterns oftenseen on checkered patterned cloths. However, inorder to benefit from RGB video, you must havea video display with an RGB compatible SCARTinput.

Progressive Scan: Due to the immense datastorage capacity of DVD, images are nowadaysstored progressively (intact, rather than interlaced). This allow all of the lines in eachframe (odd and even) to be shown at the sametime. DMC 1000 comes with true progressivescan video output resulting in a 40% greaterlight output than a conventional TV and a stun-ningly detailed, high definition image withabsence of visible scanlines and motion artifacts.

WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media® Audio) isan audio compression format that was devel-oped by the Microsoft® Corporation for use withits Windows Media Player. WMA files can beeven smaller in size than MP3 files, while main-taining similar quality. The DMC 1000 is amongthose DVD players capable of playing discs con-taining WMA files. Note that Windows MediaPlayer uses other file formats; however, the DMC1000 is only capable of playing files that end inthe “.wma” extension. See page 27 for more information on WMA file support.

Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability toshow up to four different views of the samescene in a program. When a disc is encoded withmultiple-angle information, pressing the Anglebutton will enable you to switch between thesedifferent views. Note that at present, few discstake advantage of this capability and, when theydo, the multiple-angle technology may only bepresent for short periods of time within the disc.Producers will usually insert some sort of icon orgraphic in the picture to alert you to the availability of multiple viewing angles.

Reading: This is a message that you will seeafter you´ve loaded the disc and the tray hasclosed. It refers to the fact that the player mustfirst examine the contents of the disc to see if itis a CD or DVD, and then extract the informationabout the type of material on the disc, such aslanguages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number oftitles and more. The slight delay while the contents of the disc are read is normal.

Resume: The operation of the Stop Button onthe DVD works differently from what you areused to on CD players. On a traditional CD player, when you press the Stop button, the unitdoes just that: it stops playback. On a CD player,when you press the start button again, the discstarts from the beginning. With the DVD, however, you have two options when playingDVD discs. Pressing Stop once will stop play-back, but it actually puts the unit in the Resumemode. This means that you can turn the machineoff and, when you press play the next time, thedisc will resume or continue from the point onthe disc where the Stop button was pressed. Thisis helpful if you are watching a movie and mustinterrupt your viewing session but wish to pickup where you left off. Pressing the Stop buttontwice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the disc is played again, itwill start from the beginning.

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

� Do not block ventilation holes of any of theequipment and arrange them so that air cancirculate freely.

� Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.

� Ensure that you observe the color codingwhen connecting audio and video cables.

STEP ONE – Placement

Due to the heat generated by other system com-ponents, place the DMC 1000 on its own shelfrather than stacking it directly on another com-ponent. We do not recommend stacking othercomponents on top of the DMC 1000.

STEP TWO – Connect the DMC 1000 to an A/V Receiver or Processor(Preferred)

If the receiver is HDMI-capable and HDCP-com-pliant, connect the HDMI Output to thereceiver’s HDMI Input to carry both audio andvideo.

If the receiver has only a DVI input, use anHDMI-to-DVI adapter, and make a separateaudio connection.

If the receiver does not have an HDMI or DVIinput, select one video connection, in order ofpreference: component video �, S-video � orcomposite video �.

For non-HDMI products, a separate audio conne -ction is also required. If available, connect eitherthe Optical or Coaxial Digital Audio Outputto the corresponding input on the receiver.

The DMC 1000 is capable of outputting up tofour separate analog audio streams for use inmultizone systems. Zone 1 is used for the mainlistening room, and includes six channels.Connect the Zone 1 Analog Audio Outputs � toa receiver that does not have an available digitalaudio input. If digital audio connections havebeen made to the receiver, make an additionalconnection from the FL and FR jacks to thereceiver to monitor an analog source connectedto the Auxiliary Inputs during recording.

STEP THREE – Connect Media Sources

• Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs �: Connect theline-level or “Tape” outputs of an analogdevice to these inputs. Do not connect aturntable without a phono preamp. Contactthe Harman Kardon Parts Department to pur-chase one.

• The Bridge �: Connect Harman Kardon’s TheBridge (sold separately) here to enjoy contentstored on a compatible iPod (not included).

• USB Devices ��: Connect a compatible USBclient device to either the front- or rear-panelUSB Port. The front-panel port is locatedbehind the dropdown door.

The DMC 1000 may be used with up to fourzones simultaneously, with any or all zoneslinked to each other. Zones 2, 3 and 4 are usedto distribute 2-channel audio to other locations.Zone ��1 is the main listening area. The sys-tem may be controlled remotely using theRemote IR Input, the RS-232 Port or a networkconnection.

Connect the Analog Audio Outputs for eachzone in the system to a receiver, processor, multi-zone controller or amplifier.

Connect the RS-232 Port � to a compatiblecontrol device using a standard null modemcable or adapter.

STEP FIVE – Connect the Remote IR Inputand Output

Connect the DMC 1000’s Remote IR Input �to the compatible IR output of another product,or to an IR receiver or controller, such as theoptional Harman Kardon HE 1000. When daisy-chaining devices to allow for remote control upand down the chain, connect the Remote IROutput � to the next product’s IR input. TheDMC 1000 is compatible with “stripped carrier”IR signals.

STEP SIX – Network Connection

Connect the Network Jack � to a router orEthernet-compatible controller. The network con-nection is used by Gracenote MusicID to obtain cover art and database updates via theInternet. When the Network connection is notused, Gracenote MusicID obtains the tags from adatabase stored internally on the DMC 1000’shard-disc drive.To use the DMC 1000 as a serveron a home network, use the Setup menu to lookup the settings automatically generated whenthe DMC 1000 is booted, and program yourhome network devices accordingly.

STEP SEVEN – Plug In AC Power

To avoid possible damage from a transientpower surge at plug-in, switch the Master PowerSwitch to the circle position (0). Plug the femaleend of the AC Power cord into the receptacle,and the male end into an unswitched AC outlet.Due to the DMC 1000’s power requirements, donot plug it into an accessory outlet on anothercomponent.

Connecting to a TV Only (Optional)When using the DMC 1000 with a television butno audio receiver or processor, connect it as follows. Make the Analog Audio Connection� and one of the Video Connections(Composite Video �, S-Video �,Component Video �). If your television orvideo display is HDMI-capable, you only need tomake the HDMI connection, as it handlesboth audio and video. Remember to plug in thepower cord.

* Digital Format must be selected as “BITSTREAM“ or ”PCM” respectively in Menu

For your reference:� Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound

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

� Linear PCM is a signal recording format usedin CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48kHz/16 bit up to 96kHz /24 bit.

� If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surrounddecoder connected to the DVD’s analogAUDIO OUT connectors, thanks to the”Downmix” function of the DVD you willobtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from thesame DVD movies that provide full 5.1-chan-nel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as fromtitles encoded with Dolby Surround.

� The DVD is designed to digitally output 96kHz-PCM audio with a 96kHz samplingrate. However, some 96kHz DVD's mayinclude copy protection codes that do notpermit digital output. For full 96kHz fidelityfrom these discs, use the analog outputs ofthe DVD.

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

Caution for the optical/coaxialdigital audio outputs:� When connecting an amplifier (with an

optical/coaxial digital input ) which does notcontain a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTSdecoder, be sure to select ”PCM” as initialsetting in the ”Digital Output” menu (seealso page 19).Otherwise, any attempt to play a DVD maycause such a high level of noise that it maybe harmful to your ears and damage yourspeakers.

� CD’s can be played as they would normally be played.

Note:� Some first generation DTS decoders which do

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

� Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM signals arepassed through the HDMI Output . Audio materials.

Notes when connecting the optical digital audio cable(optional)� Gently push the cable plug through the

built-in shutter that covers the optical digitalaudio output and connect the cable firmly sothat the configurations of both the cable andthe connector match.

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

Remember, that Dolby Digital or DTS will onlyplay 5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected theoptical or coaxial output of the DMC 1000 play-er to a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoderand if the disc was recorded in the Dolby Digitalor DTS format.

Speaker Setup: A dialog box appears, allowingyou to program the Speaker Size settings usedwith the Zone 1 (6-Channel) Analog AudioOutputs. The settings are dependent on the DVDBass Management setting in the DVD PlayerSetup menu.

• DVD Bass Management Bypass: This is thedefault system setting, and should be usedwhen the receiver or processor is capable ofperforming bass management. Configure thespeaker settings on the receiver. All mainspeakers default to the Large (full-range) set-ting, and the subwoofer is on. These settingsmay not be changed.

• DVD Bass Management On: Use this settingif the receiver is not capable of performing bassmanagement, to ensure that the low frequen-cies steered to each channel match the fre-quency-response capabilities of the speakers.

� The default settings are Small (only fre-quencies of 200Hz and higher are passed)for all of the main speakers, and the sub-woofer is on.

� With the left and right speakers set toLarge, the center speaker may be set toSmall or None, but not Large. Change theCenter and Surround settings to None forstereo mode when listening to 2-channelrecordings. The subwoofer will remain on.Use this configuration when you desire theadded power of a separate subwoofer forthe low frequencies.

� Change the left and right speaker settingto Small when using a speaker system con-sisting of small satellites and a subwoofer.The Center and Surround settings willautomatically change to Small, and theSubwoofer setting will remain on; neithersetting may be changed.

• DVD Bass Management Stereo/LtRt: Usethis setting to output a 2-channel signal with-out a separate low-frequency channel for thesubwoofer. The front left and right speakersdefault to the Large (full-range) setting, withthe center, surround and subwoofer speakersall disabled. These settings may not bechanged.

Select Save when you have finished your adjust-ments, or Cancel to return to the Audio SetupMenu without making any changes.

Digital Audio Out Format: If your systemincludes 5.1 digital audio surround decoding(Dolby Digital and/or DTS), select Compressed asthe digital output. In that case all audio signalswill be output with their original format. If yoursystem only includes stereo and/or Dolby ProLogic, select Uncompressed. Then all audio sig-nals will be output in PCM format only (DTS willoutput no signal).

HDMI Audio Out: This setting determines theformat of the audio output via the HDMI Output.It is dependent upon the capabilities of yourreceiver or video display (if the DMC 1000 is connected directly to a display). We recommendthat you leave it at the Auto setting, in whichcase the DMC 1000 will communicate with thedevice it’s connected to and automatically selecta setting that is compatible with that device.

• Auto: This is the default setting, and it is recommended that you leave the HDMI AudioOut line at this setting. The DMC 1000 willautomatically select the correct setting, basedon the capabilities of your receiver or video dis-play.

• Uncompressed: At this setting, all digitalaudio is decoded and output as PCM streams.For example, a DVD with a Dolby Digital sound-track will be decoded, and 5.1 PCM streams(one per channel) will be output through theHDMI Output for playback by your receiver.

• Compressed: This setting may be used withreceivers that are capable of decoding digitalmultichannel formats from the HDMI stream.

• Off: Use this setting if your receiver is notcapable of processing the audio portion of theHDMI stream and you have made a separatedigital audio connection from the DMC 1000 tothe receiver. No audio will be passed to theHDMI Output.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When the HDMI Output isactive for audio, the Optical and Coaxial DigitalAudio Outputs are muted. If the HDMI Output isbeing used for video only and the S/P-DIF outputsare required for audio, turn the HDMI Audio Outsetting Off.

24 DMC BASICS

DMC Basics

Turning On the DMC 1000

The DMC 1000 has four power states, eachdesigned to minimize unnecessary power con-sumption.

• Full-Off Mode (Dim Blue) – The DMC 1000,including its hard-disc drive, is fully powereddown, but is ready to be turned on using thefront panel or remote control.

• Sleep (Standby) Mode (Amber) – The DMC1000 will not respond to any commands otherthan to power on.

• Server Mode (Amber) – The DMC 1000may be controlled via the RS-232 Port or theNetwork Connection, but the on-screen menu system is off.

• Full-Power Mode (Bright Blue) – The DMC1000 operates normally.

See Table A7 in the Appendix for a description ofeach mode and the DMC 1000’s response to thepower controls.

NOTE: There is technically a fifth state of “nopower,” in which the power cord is unpluggedand/or the rear-panel Master Power Switch isturned off in the circle position (0). However, it is unlikely you will see this situation in normaluse.

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

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

When the DMC 1000 is in Server Mode (PowerIndicator is amber and Server Mode message isdisplayed), press the Power Off Button on theremote to switch to Sleep Mode (Power Indicatorremains amber).

Using the DMC 1000

After turn-on, the DMC 1000 will display itsMain Menu (see Figure 9). If the Media Library isloaded with content, any cover art will appear ina mosaic in the background.

Figure 9 – Main Menu

From the Main Menu, you may play content fromthe Media Library or select another source for

playback. You may program a Play Queue ofitems for immediate playback, or a Playlist that isstored for later retrieval. Record an audio streamfrom a device connected to the Auxiliary Inputs,or copy a playlist to any of the portable media,including a recordable CD, a memory card or aUSB drive. You may also control audio playbackin up to four separate zones at a time. The DMC1000’s sophisticated yet easy-to-use on-screenmenus will guide you at every stage.

Playing DVDs and CDs

With the DMC 1000 turned on, press theOpen/Close Button on the front panel or remote.Gently place the disc in the tray, making sure toseat it properly. Refer to the Media Compatibilitysection for details on which disc types may beplayed in the DMC 1000. Other disc types willnot play. The DMC 1000 will take a few momentsto read and identify the disc.

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

If the disc is an audio CD, the DMC 1000 willautomatically copy it to the Media Library at highspeed, displaying the progress of the recordingas a percentage. The DMC 1000 is capable ofplaying back the recording almost as it is beingmade (if your unit has been set up for Play andRecord operation). Once the recording is com-pleted, you may remove the disc and continue tolisten to the content as it is played from theMedia Library.

When a CD or other music content is added tothe Media Library, the DMC 1000 accessesGracenote MusicID, which includes a vast onlinedatabase containing identifying information foralmost every commercial CD in existence, as wellas cover art for the vast majority of CDs. Thispowerful service enhances the listening experi-ence, as the user is able to view album, artist andtrack information and the cover art during play-back. This information is then stored in theMedia Library. A copy of the database resides inthe DMC 1000 so that even when it is not con-nected to the Internet, the identifying informa-tion for most popular CDs (except for cover art) isretrieved and stored with the audio in the MediaLibrary. However, for the latest and most com-plete version of the database, we recommendconnecting the DMC 1000 to a high-speedInternet access point. Music recognition technol-ogy and related data are provided by Gracenote.Gracenote is the industry standard in musicrecognition technology and related content deliv-ery. For more information, visitwww.gracenote.com.

NOTE: When no cover art is available, the DMC1000 will display a generic musical-note icon.This may occur if the DMC 1000 is not connectedto the Internet, if a noncommercial disc is loaded,

or in rare instances when there is a gap in thedatabase.

DVD Playback

The DMC 1000 supports all of the features andoptions of standard DVDs. However, not all discsoffer each option at all times. If the “FunctionProhibited” icon (Ø) appears, then you areattempting a function that is not available at thattime or with that media, and it does not indicatea problem with the DMC 1000.

Notes: Playback features may not be availableduring the opening credits of a movie. This isintended by the disc author and is not a failure ofthe DMC 1000.

Playback of a DVD with 96kHz/24-bit audiorequires the use of circuitry normally used forother features. Accordingly, Slow Play Reverseand Step Advance features are not available withthese discs.

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

Chapters and Titles

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

Because titles can run for several hours, they aregenerally divided into chapters, each of which istypically no more than a few minutes long,encompassing one or more scenes. Chapterselection allows you to go straight to yourfavorite section of the movie, or to easily skippast sections you’ve already viewed. Most discsoffer a chapter selection menu that includesthumbnail images for easy identification.

Undock iPod: This command ends play of anycontent on the iPod and returns to the MediaLibrary view of the Main Menu. The iPod’s ownmenu appears on its screen. To resume playback,physically undock the iPod from The Bridge andredock it.

Press the Back Button to return to the previousmenu level, similar to pressing the Menu buttonon the iPod itself.

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

NOTE: The Bridge may not be compatible withsome iPod models, particularly the iPhone andthe iPod touch. To enjoy content stored on thesedevices, connect a cable from the device's head-phone output to the DMC 1000's AuxiliaryAnalog Audio Inputs.

Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs

In addition to digital media, the DMC 1000 alsoaccommodates analog source devices, such ascassette decks and turntables, but mainly as arecording source. Connect the device to the rear-panel Auxiliary Inputs.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not connect a turntabledirectly to the DMC 1000 unless it includes anonboard phono preamp or is connected to anexternal phono preamp which is then pluggedinto the Auxiliary Inputs. Phono preamps may beavailable from specialty audio shops or electron-ics stores.

The device connected to the Auxiliary Inputs isnot available for source selection in the usualmanner. It is selected as a recording source, asdescribed in the Content Transfer section,although it is possible to monitor the sourcewithout making a recording.

Content Transfer

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

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

Audio CDs

As soon as an audio CD is loaded, the DMC1000 begins the process of copying it to theMedia Library at high speed. It displays theprogress of the recording as a percentage record-ed.

At the same time, the DMC 1000 automaticallybegins playing the copy of the CD from theMedia Library, if you have programmed the DMC1000’s Setup Menu to do so.

The DMC 1000 uses Gracenote MusicID to iden-tify the CD, tag it with the correct informationand import the album cover art, if available. If theDMC 1000 is not connected to the Internet,Gracenote MusicID will tag the content using theoffline database stored on the DMC 1000’s hard-disc drive; however, it will not display any coverart. For homemade discs, the service will attemptto identify the content based on any tags thatwere created when the disc was recorded.

After the DMC 1000 has finished copying the CDto the Media Library, you may remove the discand store it.

NOTE: The DMC 1000 initially copies the CD to.wav files. If you have adjusted the AudioEncoding Quality setting in the Media LibrarySetup menu to one of the MP3 formats, the DMC1000 will then encode the .wav files as MP3 filesat the specified sampling rate. If you attempt totransfer the CD from the Media Library to amemory card, recordable CD or USB drive beforethe encoding is completed, the files will be trans-ferred as .wav files. Since .wav files are muchlarger than MP3 files, depending on your desti-nation media, you may not have enough space tocomplete the transfer.

Data CDs

Data CDs are discs that contain sound and imagefiles. They are recognized when loaded, but oper-ation is handled differently.

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

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

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

Auxiliary Inputs

With the analog audio device connected to theAuxiliary Inputs and the media loaded, eitherpress the Record Button, or press the MenuButton to view the Main Menu. Scroll to theRecord line and press the Enter Button.

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

Figure 23 – Select a Recording Source

Next, select the Media Library (the only option)as the recording destination. The screen shown inFigure 24 will appear.

Figure 24 – Record From the Auxiliary Inputs

Select the Listen to Aux In option to monitor theanalog device. Begin playing the device, and cueit up to the desired starting point. Example: mostcassette tapes include about five seconds ofblank leader tape, plus additional blank tape atthe beginning.

30 OPERATION

Operation

NOTE: The DMC 1000 does not detect the pres-ence or absence of an audio signal at theAuxiliary Inputs.

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

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

Figure 25 – Recording in Progress

Make a note of the file name automatically gen-erated by the DMC 1000 to easily locate therecording later. The DMC 1000 also displays theelapsed time, and a graphic and numeric displayof the space available on the hard-disc drive.

Select the Pause Recording option to pause therecording without starting a new file whenrecording is resumed. This feature is useful if youwish to record a series of audio tracks as one filewhile skipping breaks in between, such as whenrecording an entire side of a cassette tape intoone file.

Select the Stop Recording option to end record-ing of the file. The screen shown in Figure 26 willappear.

Figure 26 – Recording Complete

Select Done if you are finished, or Record Next torecord another track, which returns to the screenshown in Figure 25, allowing you to cue up thenext track.

To locate the newly recorded tracks, view theMedia Library by Track and by Last Added. Thetrack will be displayed at the top of the list. Youmay also sort the Track view by Name, lookingfor tracks starting with “AUX.” You may wish toview the Tracks by Artist, as all tracks with artist“Unknown” will be listed first, and the record-ings will appear here.

Select the Edit Info option to rename the tracksand add other identifying information. Enter asmuch information as possible about the track toenable Gracenote MusicID to locate any cover artand properly tag the track. This is particularlyuseful when you have recorded commercialalbums from cassette, vinyl or other analogmedia.

Media Library

You may transfer audio content from the MediaLibrary to any of the portable media – memorycards installed in the card slots, a USB deviceconnected to one of the USB Ports, or a record-able CD loaded in the Disc Player.

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

2. Press the Record Button, or select the Recordcommand from the Main Menu, and select theMedia Library as the source, with the othermedia as the destination.

NOTES: • When a blank recordable CD has been loaded,

you will be presented with the options ofrecording it as an audio disc or as an MP3 disc.Audio discs conform to the “red book” stan-dard and may be played in any standard CDplayer. Many CD players are not capable ofplaying MP3 discs. Check with the manufactur-er of the player for more information.

• Any standard CD-R disc may be used. SpecialMusic/Audio Recordable CDs are not required.

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

4. When all selections have been made, selectthe “Record Selected” option to begin thetransfer.

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

NOTE: If recordings made from the AuxiliaryAnalog Audio Inputs were tagged by GracenoteMusicID, the DMC 1000 will generate new filenames in the format of [artist] – [three-digit track number].wav. The tags will be transferred to theportable media with the file. Thus, if you uploadthe file from the media to your PC using softwarethat is capable of recognizing the tags, the trackwill appear with its correct song title and otherinformation.

Solid-State Media

You may transfer content from any of the solid-state media (memory cards or USB device) to theMedia Library in a similar fashion to recordingfrom the Media Library. However, it is not neces-sary to create a playlist, since the data media arealready organized as file folders.

1. Press the Record Button, or select the Recordcommand from the Main Menu, and select thesolid-state media as the source, with theMedia Library (the only option) as the destina-tion.

2. The DMC 1000 will display the folders andfiles stored on the media. Select one or moreitems for recording.

3. When all selections have been made, selectthe “Record Selected” option to begin thetransfer.

NOTE: Content may only be transferred from oneof the solid-state media to the Media Library, notfrom one of the solid-state media to the other. Ifyou wish to transfer content from one type ofmedia to another, first add the content to theMedia Library, and then record it to the othertype of media.

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

Preamble: The licenses for most software aredesigned to take away your freedom to share andchange it. By contrast, the GNU General PublicLicenses are intended to guarantee your freedom toshare and change free software – to make sure thesoftware is free for all its users. This license, theLesser General Public License, applies to some spe-cially designated software packages – typicallylibraries – of the Free Software Foundation andother authors who decide to use it. You can use ittoo, but we suggest you first think carefully aboutwhether this license or the ordinary General PublicLicense is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanationsbelow.

LISHWhen we speak of free software, we are referring

to freedom of use, not price. Our General PublicLicenses are designed to make sure that you havethe freedom to distribute copies of free software(and charge for this service if you wish); that youreceive source code or can get it if you want it; thatyou can change the software and use pieces of it innew free programs; and that you are informed thatyou can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictionsthat forbid distributors to deny you these rights orto ask you to surrender these rights. These restric-tions translate to certain responsibilities for you ifyou distribute copies of the library or if you modifyit. For example, if you distribute copies of thelibrary, whether gratis or for a fee, you must givethe recipients all the rights that we gave you. Youmust make sure that they, too, receive or can getthe source code. If you link other code with thelibrary, you must provide complete object files tothe recipients, so that they can relink them with thelibrary after making changes to the library andrecompiling it. And you must show them theseterms so they know their rights. We protect yourrights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright thelibrary, and (2) we offer you this license, whichgives you legal permission to copy, distributeand/or modify the library. To protect each distribu-tor, we want to make it very clear that there is nowarranty for the free library. Also, if the library ismodified by someone else and passed on, therecipients should know that what they have is notthe original version, so that the original author’sreputation will not be affected by problems thatmight be introduced by others. Finally, softwarepatents pose a constant threat to the existence ofany free program. We wish to make sure that acompany cannot effectively restrict the users of afree program by obtaining a restrictive license froma patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patentlicense obtained for a version of the library must beconsistent with the full freedom of use specified inthis license. Most GNU software, including somelibraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU GeneralPublic License. This license, the GNU Lesser GeneralPublic License, applies to certain designatedlibraries, and is quite different from the ordinaryGeneral Public License. We use this license for cer-tain libraries in order to permit linking thoselibraries into non-free programs. When a program islinked with a library, whether statically or using ashared library, the combination of the two is legallyspeaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinaryGeneral Public License therefore permits such link-ing only if the entire combination fits its criteria offreedom. The Lesser General Public License permitsmore lax criteria for linking other code with thelibrary. We call this license the “Lesser” GeneralPublic License because it does Less to protect theuser’s freedom than the ordinary General PublicLicense. It also provides other free software devel-opers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reasonwe use the ordinary General Public License for

many libraries. However, the Lesser license providesadvantages in certain special circumstances. Forexample, on rare occasions, there may be a specialneed to encourage the widest possible use of a cer-tain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard.To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowedto use the library. A more frequent case is that afree library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain bylimiting the free library to free software only, so weuse the Lesser General Public License. In othercases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of peopleto use a large body of free software. For example,permission to use the GNU C Library in non-freeprograms enables many more people to use thewhole GNU operating system, as well as its variant,the GNU/Linux operating system. Although theLesser General Public License is Less protective ofthe users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user ofa program that is linked with the Library has thefreedom and the wherewithal to run that programusing a modified version of the Library. The preciseterms and conditions for copying, distribution andmodification follow. Pay close attention to the dif-ference between a “work based on the library” anda “work that uses the library.” The former containscode derived from the library, whereas the lattermust be combined with the library in order to run.

Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution andmodification

0. This License Agreement applies to any softwarelibrary or other program which contains a noticeplaced by the copyright holder or other authorizedparty saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser GeneralPublic License (also called “this License”). Eachlicensee is addressed as “You.”

A “library” means a collection of software functionsand/or data prepared so as to be convenientlylinked with application programs (which use someof those functions and data) to form executables.

The “Library,” below, refers to any such softwarelibrary or work which has been distributed underthese terms. A “work based on the Library” meanseither the Library or any derivative work undercopyright law: that is to say, a work containing theLibrary or a portion of it, either verbatim or withmodifications and/or translated straightforwardlyinto another language. (Hereinafter, translation isincluded without limitation in the term “modifica-tion.”)

“Source code” for a work means the preferred formof the work for making modifications to it. For alibrary, complete source code means all the sourcecode for all modules it contains, plus any associat-ed interface definition files, plus the scripts used tocontrol compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and mod-ification are not covered by this License; they areoutside its scope. The act of running a programusing the Library is not restricted, and output fromsuch a program is covered only if its contents con-

stitute a work based on the Library (independent ofthe use of the Library in a tool for writing it).Whether that is true depends on what the Librarydoes and what the program that uses the Librarydoes.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of theLibrary’s complete source code as you receive it, inany medium, provided that you conspicuously andappropriately publish on each copy an appropriatecopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keepintact all the notices that refer to this License andto the absence of any warranty; and distribute acopy of this License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of trans-ferring a copy, and you may at your option offerwarranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library orany portion of it, thus forming a work based on theLibrary, and copy and distribute such modificationsor work under the terms of Section 1 above, provid-ed that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a softwarelibrary; b) You must cause the files modified to carryprominent notices stating that you changed thefiles and the date of any change; and c) You mustcause the whole of the work to be licensed at nocharge to all third parties under the terms of thisLicense; and d) If a facility in the modified Libraryrefers to a function or a table of data to be sup-plied by an application program that uses the facili-ty, other than as an argument passed when thefacility is invoked, then you must make a good faitheffort to ensure that, in the event an applicationdoes not supply such function or table, the facilitystill operates, and performs whatever part of itspurpose remains meaningful. (For example, a func-tion in a library to compute square roots has a pur-pose that is entirely well-defined independent ofthe application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requiresthat any application-supplied function or table usedby this function must be optional: if the applicationdoes not supply it, the square root function muststill compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as awhole. If identifiable sections of that work are notderived from the Library, and can be reasonablyconsidered independent and separate works inthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do notapply to those sections when you distribute themas separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a wholewhich is a work based on the Library, the distribu-tion of the whole must be on the terms of thisLicense, whose permissions for other licenseesextend to the entire whole, and thus to each andevery part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claimrights or contest your rights to work written entirelyby you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right tocontrol the distribution of derivative or collectiveworks based on the Library.

40 EULA

In addition, mere aggregation of another work notbased on the Library with the Library (or with awork based on the Library) on a volume of a stor-age or distribution medium does not bring theother work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinaryGNU General Public License instead of this Licenseto a given copy of the Library. To do this, you mustalter all the notices that refer to this License, sothat they refer to the ordinary GNU General PublicLicense, version 2, instead of to this License. (If anewer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNUGeneral Public License has appeared, then you canspecify that version instead if you wish.) Do notmake any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irre-versible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU GeneralPublic License applies to all subsequent copies andderivative works made from that copy.

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

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a por-tion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in objectcode or executable form under the terms ofSections 1 and 2 above provided that you accom-pany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributedunder the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on amedium customarily used for software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offeringaccess to copy from a designated place, then offer-ing equivalent access to copy the source code fromthe same place satisfies the requirement to distrib-ute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with theobject code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any por-tion of the Library, but is designed to work with theLibrary by being compiled or linked with it, is calleda “work that uses the Library.” Such a work, in iso-lation, is not a derivative work of the Library, andtherefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a “work that uses the Library”with the Library creates an executable that is aderivative of the Library (because it contains por-tions of the Library), rather than a “work that usesthe library.” The executable is therefore covered bythis License. Section 6 states terms for distributionof such executables.

When a “work that uses the Library” uses materialfrom a header file that is part of the Library, theobject code for the work may be a derivative workof the Library even though the source code is not.Whether this is true is especially significant if thework can be linked without the Library, or if thework is itself a library. The threshold for this to betrue is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parame-ters, data structure layouts and accessors, andsmall macros and small inline functions (ten lines or

less in length), then the use of the object file isunrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally aderivative work. (Executables containing this objectcode plus portions of the Library will still fall underSection 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library,you may distribute the object code for the workunder the terms of Section 6. Any executables con-taining that work also fall under Section 6, whetheror not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you mayalso combine or link a “work that uses the Library”with the Library to produce a work containing por-tions of the Library, and distribute that work underterms of your choice, provided that the terms per-mit modification of the work for the customer'sown use and reverse engineering for debuggingsuch modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy ofthe work that the Library is used in it and that theLibrary and its use are covered by this License. Youmust supply a copy of this License. If the work dur-ing execution displays copyright notices, you mustinclude the copyright notice for the Library amongthem, as well as a reference directing the user tothe copy of this License. Also, you must do one ofthese things: a) Accompany the work with the com-plete corresponding machine-readable source codefor the Library including whatever changes wereused in the work (which must be distributed underSections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an exe-cutable linked with the Library, with the completemachine-readable “work that uses the Library,” asobject code and/or source code, so that the usercan modify the Library and then relink to produce amodified executable containing the modifiedLibrary. (It is understood that the user who changesthe contents of definitions files in the Library willnot necessarily be able to recompile the applicationto use the modified definitions.); b) Use a suitableshared library mechanism for linking with theLibrary. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) usesat run time a copy of the library already present onthe user's computer system, rather than copyinglibrary functions into the executable, and (2) willoperate properly with a modified version of thelibrary, if the user installs one, as long as the modi-fied version is interface-compatible with the versionthat the work was made with; c) Accompany thework with a written offer, valid for at least threeyears, to give the same user the materials specifiedin Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more thanthe cost of performing this distribution; d) If distribution of thework is made by offering access to copy from adesignated place, offer equivalent access to copythe above specified materials from the same place;and e) Verify that the user has already received acopy of these materials or that you have alreadysent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the “workthat uses the Library” must include any data andutility programs needed for reproducing the exe-

cutable from it. However, as a special exception,the materials to be distributed need not includeanything that is normally distributed (in eithersource or binary form) with the major components(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating sys-tem on which the executable runs, unless that com-ponent itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts thelicense restrictions of other proprietary libraries thatdo not normally accompany the operating system.Such a contradiction means you cannot use boththem and the Library together in an executable thatyou distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a workbased on the Library side-by-side in a single librarytogether with other library facilities not covered bythis License, and distribute such a combined library, provided thatthe separate distribution of the work based on theLibrary and of the other library facilities is otherwisepermitted, and provided that you do these two things: a)Accompany the combined library with a copy of thesame work based on the Library, uncombined withany other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of theSections above; and b) Give prominent notice withthe combined library of the fact that part of it is awork based on the Library, and explaining where tofind the accompanying uncombined form of thesame work.

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, ordistribute the Library except as expressly providedunder this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute theLibrary is void, and will automatically terminateyour rights under this License. However, partieswho have received copies, or rights, from you underthis License will not have their licenses terminatedso long as such parties remain in full compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, sinceyou have not signed it. However, nothing elsegrants you permission to modify or distribute theLibrary or its derivative works. These actions areprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library(or any work based on the Library), you indicateyour acceptance of this License to do so, and all itsterms and conditions for copying, distributing ormodifying the Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any workbased on the Library), the recipient automaticallyreceives a license from the original licensor to copy,distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms andconditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of therights granted herein. You are not responsible forenforcing compliance by third parties with thisLicense.

LISH11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allega-

tion of patent infringement or for any other reason(not limited to patent issues), conditions areimposed on you (whether by court order, agree-ment or otherwise) that contradict the conditions ofthis License, they do not excuse you from the condi-tions of this License. If you cannot distribute so asto satisfy simultaneously your obligations under thisLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then asa consequence you may not distribute the Library atall. For example, if a patent license would not per-mit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by allthose who receive copies directly or indirectlythrough you, then the only way you could satisfyboth it and this License would be to refrain entirelyfrom distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unen-forceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intendedto apply, and the section as a whole is intended toapply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you toinfringe any patents or other property right claimsor to contest validity of any such claims; this sectionhas the sole purpose of protecting the integrity ofthe free software distribution system which isimplemented by public license practices. Many peo-ple have made generous contributions to the widerange of software distributed through that systemin reliance on consistent application of that system;it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she iswilling to distribute software through any other sys-tem and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clearwhat is believed to be a consequence of the rest ofthis License.

12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library isrestricted in certain countries either by patents orby copyrighted interfaces, the original copyrightholder who places the Library under this Licensemay add an explicit geographical distribution limi-tation excluding those countries, so that distribu-tion is permitted only in or among countries notthus excluded. In such case, this License incorpo-rates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revisedand/or new versions of the Lesser General PublicLicense from time to time. Such new versions willbe similar in spirit to the present version, but maydiffer in detail to address new problems or con-cerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version num-ber. If the Library specifies a version number of thisLicense which applies to it and “any later version,”you have the option of following the terms andconditions either of that version or of any later ver-sion published by the Free Software Foundation. Ifthe Library does not specify a license version num-ber, you may choose any version ever published bythe Free Software Foundation.

14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library intoother free programs whose distribution conditionsare incompatible with these, write to the author toask for permission. For software which is copyright-ed by the Free Software Foundation, write to theFree Software Foundation; we sometimes makeexceptions for this. Our decision will be guided bythe two goals of preserving the free status of allderivatives of our free software and of promotingthe sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OFCHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THELIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICA-BLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED INWRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OROTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS”WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHEREXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOTLIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MER-CHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULARPURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITYAND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITHYOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE,YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERV-ICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLELAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPY-RIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAYMODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY ASPERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAM-AGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCI-DENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISINGOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THELIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSSOF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCU-RATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRDPARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPER-ATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCHHOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OFTHE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
