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 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 and JPEG pictures have a fixed resolution, picture quality will deteriorate, especially at 4x zoom. This is not a malfunction.

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