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.
