Configure accessibility (U.S. only)
Accessibility settings enable users with vision or hearing impairment to use the TV more effectively.
Accessibility settings are located under Settings > Accessibility.
Captions mode
Captions mode specifies when closed captions appear. Access caption settings from the Home screen by
selecting Settings > Accessibility > Captions mode. At this point, you can choose among the following
options:
Off – No captions appear.
On always– Captions appear whenever they are available from the program source.
On replay– Captions appear only when you use the replay feature, and only when you are
watching a streaming program that supports instant replay or watching a TV channel after
enabling Live TV Pause.
On mute – Captions appear only when the TV is muted.
Tips:
You can change the captions mode while watching a program. To do so, press to display
the Options menu, and then select Closed Captioning.
Some streaming channels require you to enable captions through a setting within their
channel even though you have turned on captions everywhere else.
Note: Once enabled, the selected captions mode applies to all inputs that support captions and
remains enabled until you turn it off.

settings from the Home screen by selecting Settings > Accessibility > Captions style. At this point, you

sample of the result in an adjacent panel.

various shadows. As you move the highlight to each effect, you can see a sample of the result in
an adjacent panel.
