ZOOM
Press ZOOM to enlarge a particular area of
the picture. Each press of the ZOOM button
increases the zoom, normally until a maximum
of 4x enlargement is reached (although the
amount of zoom possible varies depending on
the type of disc: in some cases no zooming is
possible). Pressing ZOOM when the maximum
enlargement has been reached returns the image
to normal size.
While using the zoom function, the cursor pad
can be used to move around within the image.
The zoom function can also be used when
playback is paused.
Note that a zoom level of x1.25 is particularly
useful if the output from the DVD player is in
a screen format different from that of your TV.
A zoom of x1.25 when a ‘widescreeen’ image is
displayed on a 4:3 TV causes the bars at the top
and bottom of the screen to disappear (although
the sides of the image are lost); a zoom of x1.25
when a 4:3 image is displayed on a widescreen
TV causes the bars at the side of the image to
disappear (although the top and bottom of the
image are lost).

Some DVDs offer the facility to select different camera angles. If
this feature is available the ‘camera’ symbol lights in the display.
Press ANGLE to cycle through the available angles.

view extra material such as trailers or
documentaries.
Once the menu has been accessed, use
the cursor pad to move around the menu
and press OK to activate a menu ‘button’.
RTN (return)
Press RTN to move back through the
DVD ‘Disc’ and ‘Title’ menus. Note that
this feature is only of use with discs using
multi-level menus.
