It's a useful accessibility feature even though it doesn't work with a lot of video content.

You'll then need to hold down the Back and Fast Forward buttons on your remote.

Hold the buttons simultaneously for about five seconds.

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.

Amazon notes on its website: "Most video content isn't compatible with the zoom feature."

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.
