For a time search, enter the number of minutes and seconds into the currently playing title (DVD) or track (Video CD) you want playback to resume from. For example, press 4, 5, 0, 0 to have playback start from 45 minutes into the disc. For 1 hour, 20 minutes and 30 seconds, press 8, 0, 3, 0.

The disc must be playing in order to use time search or frame search.

Search functions are not available with Video CDs in PBC mode, or unfinalized CD- R/RW discs.

The frame search function cannot be used with a VR format DVD-RW.

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.

1During playback, use the ZOOM button to select the zoom factor.Normal2x4x

Since DVD and Video CD have a fixed resolution, picture quality will deteriorate, especially at 4x zoom. This is not a malfunc- tion.

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.
