• While using the web browser, you can now select between two types of zoom functions.
  “Zoom” lets you increase the size of the elements on the page while adjusting their layout so everything fits without having to scroll left and right.
  “Magnify” increases the size of everything on the page without layout adjustments.
  The maximum zoom/magnification rate is now 500%.
• We’ve reorganized the 3D audio settings.
  These settings are now under [3D Audio for TV Speakers] and [3D Audio for Headphones] in [Settings]> [Sound].
