Zoom
When playing DVD discs and Video CDs, you can magnify the screen during normal playback. For DVD discs, Zoom has 3 levels (1.5x, 2x, 4x). For video CDs, Zoom has 2 levels (1x, 2x). Zoom magnifies from the center of the screen. Once in Zoom mode, you can pan right, left, up or down by using the arrow buttons.

3.To turn Zoom off, press the ZOOM button until you cycle through all the levels and return to normal playback.
Note: You can use the 1.5x zoom mode to alter a 16x9 letterbox movie (black bars top and bottom) to a 4x3 format. This will eliminate the black bars at the top and bottom and allow you to use left/right arrow keys to pan and scan.
What is a Video CD?
Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. Video CDs (VCDs) are encoded in a different format. VCDs don’t hold as much information as DVD discs and the picture quality is not as high.
Because a VCD contains less information than a DVD disc, some of the features provided by the player may not work with some VCDs.
