It will be convenient for and direct to the students when teachers play the disc by TV set or other equipment in class. That reduces teachers' repetition work and good for reservation (information in disc can be reserved for more than 100 years); in family, users can record pictures which formed by digital camera or scanner into CD-R disc.

ASPECT RATIO DESCRIPTION

When using the DVD with the internal TV, select 4 3/LB.

The following information applies only when the DVD output is connected to an external TV.

4 3/PS (PS = Pan and Scan) You may select if you have a normal aspect ratio (4:3) TV, although the NORMAL/LB (letter box) is a more common choice. In PS mode, widescreen material will fill the screen, but at the expense of chopping off extreme left and right edges of the original film picture. For this feature to work, the disc must be specially coded. Such discs are uncommon. 4 3/LB (LB = Letter Box) You may select this if you have a normal aspect ratio (4:3) TV. Widescreen material will be shown in pure unaltered form, allowing the entire picture area of the original film to be viewed without any side cropping. Black bars will appear above and below the picture. 16 9 You may select this if you have a widescreen (16:9) TV. Back bars may still appear above and below the picture even if using a widescreen TV. This is because some film directors prefer to use ultra widescreen aspect ratios e.g.

2.35:1. This will normally be indicated on the DVD packaging.
