| Questions about the Copyright |
| Q1: Can the CD-ROM contents be printed out? |
| A1: In order to protect the copyright, no printing function has been included. |
| Q2: We would like to use photographs from the Photo Panel Collection CD-ROM on our own Website or in a book. |
| A2: Copyright in the photographs used in the Photo Panel
Collection CD-ROM belongs to the respective copyright owners, and the transfer
of any image to a Website or book without permission of its owner is a violation
of the copyright. If there is a photograph in the Photo Panel Collection
CD-ROM that you wish to use, please write an application and send it to
the overseas office of The Japan Foundation nearest you. The application
should specify the identifying number of the photograph, the purpose of
its use, the title of the book or other work in which it is to be used,
the price and number of copies to be issued if the work using the photograph
from the Photo Panel Collection CD-ROM is to be offered for sale, and any
other relevant information. If there is no overseas office of The Japan
Foundation near you, then send it to the address below. (Please be aware that the copyright owner may not grant permission to use the work, or may require payment.)

| Questions about Operation |
| Q3: My computer has speakers and the software is set to play back sound, but I can't get the explanation to play back. |
| A3: Check to be sure you have QuickTime Version 4 installed.
(Version 3 cannot play back sound.) If it is not installed, then install it using the installer supplied on the CD-ROM. |
| Q4: Even though I click on vocabulary words, the sound won't play back. |
| A4: If the vocabulary items are in Series I (Clothing,
Food, Shelter, and Associated Items Series) or Series V (Daily Life), then
please see answer A3 above. The vocabulary items in Series II (Community Life), Series III (Nature and Leisure Time), and Series IV (Social and Ceremonial Occasions) do not have any associated sounds. This is the way the system is designed. |
| Q5: The sound that plays back is the sound for the explanation even when the commentary is being displayed. |
| A5: The commentary does not have any sound associated with it, so what you are experiencing is normal operation. |
Q6: When the kana keyboard
image is displaying during the Japanese keyword search function, no sound
is played back when I click on  (fa)
or other such kana combinations. |
A6: This is the way the system is designed. The buttons
forEimg src="e_jrs_02_syousai/image/moji_che.gif" width="29" height="19" align="absmiddle">(che),
 (di),
 (fa),
 (fi),
and (fo)
(all of them sounds that did not originally exist in the Japanese language)
and the buttons for alphabetic characters will not produce any sounds when
clicked. Instead, clicking on any of these will immediately change the display
to the list of keywords. |
| Q7: The color does not display well, and the photograph looks like a negative image. The icons are also fuzzy. |
| A7: Please check to see whether the color resolution for
the computer monitor is set to less than 256 colors. This needs to be set
at 256 colors or more for the images to display properly (especially in
Windows). For Windows, please set the resolution at 16-bit or higher, and for the Macintosh, set it at 32,000 colors or higher. |
