Zooming the screen

Using the zoom feature you can magnify a part of the screen by a factor of 2 or 4, while watching a DVD, DivX video title or Video CD/ Super VCD or playing a JPEG disc.

1During playback, use the ZOOM button to select the zoom factor (Normal, 2x or 4x).

•Since DVD, Video CD/Super VCD, DivX video title and JPEG pictures have a fixed resolution, picture quality will deteriorate, especially at 4x zoom. This is not a malfunction.

2Use the cursor buttons to change the zoomed area.

You can change the zoom factor and the zoomed area freely during playback.

•If the navigation square at the top of the screen disappears, press ZOOM again to display it.

Switching camera angles

Some DVD discs feature scenes shot from two or more angles—check the disc box for details.

When a multi-angle scene is playing, a icon appears on screen to let you know that other angles are available (this can be switched off if you prefer—see Display settings on page 36).

1During playback (or when paused), press ANGLE to switch angle.
