You can then Press Menu and Fast Forward to zoom in.
Clicking Menu and Rewind should zoom you back out.
To move the zoom feature in a different direction, press Menu and then the buttons for Up, Down, Left, or Right depending on the way you want to go.

You'll also need a compatible TV for the feature to work.
Another great Accessibility feature is called Voice View.
Voice View lets a virtual voice read out what's happening on the screen so users know how to navigate even if they can't see the screen that well.
To access it you just need to locate two buttons on the remote.
Hold down the Menu button and the Back buttons at the same time.
You'll need to hold both buttons down for around five seconds and will hear "VoiceView Ready" when the feature is activated.
