To turn off closed captions on your TV, follow these general steps which apply to most TV brands and models:
- Press the Menu or Settings button on your TV remote.
- Navigate to General or Settings , then select Accessibility.
- Find Caption Settings or Closed Captions.
- Toggle the Caption or Closed Caption option to Off.
For example, on a Samsung TV, you go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Caption Settings, then toggle Caption off
. Alternatively, many remotes have a dedicated CC (Closed Caption) button that you can press to cycle captions on and off quickly
. If you are using streaming apps (like Netflix or HBO Max), note that closed captions might need to be turned off separately within each app’s settings, as TV menu settings may not control app captions
. For cable or satellite boxes, you may need to access the box’s menu or use its remote to disable captions, as these devices often have independent caption settings
. In summary, the quickest ways are:
- Use the TV remote’s CC button to toggle captions.
- Or go through the TV menu: Settings > Accessibility > Closed Captions and turn them off.
- Check app or set-top box settings if captions persist despite TV settings.
