Closed captions and other accessibility settings for your Samsung TV

Accessibility highlighted on a Samsung TV

Your Samsung TV has a variety of Accessibility Settings, designed to enhance usability for all users. Should you find difficulty in hearing the dialogue during the 6 o'clock news, you can activate captions on your TV. Similarly, if navigating through menus seems challenging due to visibility issues, you can enable High Contrast mode or increase the font size for better clarity.

Note: The available features may vary by model and software version.

If you have closed captioning turned on for your TV, they still may not show up on some sources. Certain apps, like Netflix or HBO Max, have their own settings when it comes to using closed captions. This means that if you have already turned them on in the TV menu, they will also have to be turned on in the respective app menu if you wish to use them. The same applies to Consoles and Set Top Boxes. The settings on the TV menu will not matter for these sources, as they have their own separate settings for closed captioning.
