• Picture Off: Turns off the screen so only the sound remains. This can also be used when playing music.

Using The Freestyle’s remote, press and hold the Home button until the quick settings menu appears. Select All Settings. Select General & Privacy, and then select Accessibility. Select Caption Settings, and then select Caption to turn captions on. Select it again to turn them off.

There are also two caption options in this menu:

• Caption Mode: Allows you to change the caption language. However, the available languages are determined by the broadcast station, so in most cases, it is best to leave this on Default.

• Digital Caption Options: Change the look of the captions. The options available are font style, size, colour, background colour, and more.

Using The Freestyle’s remote, press and hold the Home button until the quick settings menu appears. Select All Settings. Select General & Privacy, and then select Accessibility. Select Enlarge to make the font larger.

Using The Freestyle’s remote, press and hold the Home button until the quick settings menu appears. Select All Settings. Select General & Privacy, and then select Accessibility. Select Voice Guide Settings, and then select Voice Guide to toggle the feature on or off.

From this page, you can adjust these additional settings as well:

• Volume: Adjusts the volume of the Voice Guide.

• Speed: Adjusts the speed of the Voice Guide.

• Pitch: Adjusts the tone of the Voice Guide.

• Projector Background Volume: Adjust the background sound’s volume while using the Voice Guide.

• Greyscale: This setting removes all colour (except for white, black, and grey). This can be helpful for anyone with severe colour blindness.

• Colour Inversion: This setting inverts the colours of all the menu items and apps. It does not invert the colours of the videos that play. This can help anyone who is sensitive to bright light and colour by darkening most of the colours on the menus to softer colours.

• High Contrast: This feature displays all menus with an opaque black background and a white font, providing maximum contrast. This can help make the menu and font easier to read.
