Subtitles are typically transcriptions of the audio portion of content displayed on the TV screen. They include sound effects and scenic narration, but whether non-speech elements are available depends on the content.

Display subtitles on the TV screen

The subtitle feature is enabled by pressing the SUBTITLE (CC)  button on the TV remote control.

If you are unable to locate the SUBTITLE (CC)  button or would like to retain or disable the subtitle setting, please refer to I changed the subtitle setting, but the setting is not being retained.

Content for which subtitles are available are as follows:

• TV broadcasts: Subtitles may not be available for some TV broadcasts.
• Apps: Whether a given app supports the subtitle feature depends on the app. Some apps, such as Netflix, enable subtitles by using their own setting menu instead of pressing the SUBTITLE (CC)  button on the TV remote control. In addition, some apps can change the text size and color.
  • Visit the support site of the apps for detailed information, including how to enable features.
  • As of February 2021, the above information is confirmed. The specification of Netflix is subject to change without notice.
  • For YouTube, subtitle feature can be enabled by pressing the SUBTITLE (CC)  button on the TV remote control.
