Zooming the screen

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.

We do not recommend using DVD disc menus when the screen is zoomed as menu options will not be highlighted.

If you are displaying subtitles, these will disappear when the screen is zoomed. They will reappear when you return the screen to normal.

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 page 46).

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

If the disc was paused, playback starts again with the new angle.

Since DVD and Video CD have a fixed resolution, picture quality will deterio- rate, especially at 4x zoom. This is not a malfunction.
