Today’s world is very much national. More and more people want to learn new languages and are interested in other cultures. A lot of people are helped by foreign movies, TV series, or variety shows. For example, if you are learning Spanish, it is a good idea to start watching your favorite TV series in Spanish dubbing. But what if you are new to learning a new language and can’t understand it just by ear? In this case, subtitles can help you.
Closed captions or subtitles are very useful. They can help you to watch foreign content without translation. They are also very useful for people with a hearing impairment. All modern Smart TVs have subtitle functions. Including Vizio TV. Subtitles on these TVs are pretty easy to turn on and off. They help you follow the dialogues better in many situations. Even if you know English perfectly, there may be different characters with strong accents in the show. That will make it much harder to understand the dialogue by ear. In such cases, having subtitles can make things better for you.
How do you turn on subtitles using the remote control
If you still have the original Vizio TV remote, you should have noticed that it has a Closed Caption button. To disable subtitles just press this button and they will turn off. The same way it works to turn the subtitles on. You can do it with just one button. Remember that depending on the TV model the location of this button may vary. If you use a universal remote control, for example, you might not have this button at all.
How to turn off subtitles using the settings
If you have problems with turning the subtitles off, you should try to do it with the settings. Depending on the model, the instructions may vary slightly, but in general, to do this you need to :
- Turn on your Vizio TV
- Press the MENU button on your remote control
- Tap on the HDTV Settings
- Tap on the Closed Captions or CC option
- Check On or Off depending on your needs
Can you turn off subtitles permanently
If you want to disable subtitles completely, there is an option. Remember that after you finish watching the movie, you have to turn them on again. Or you can leave them turned off permanently until you manually turn them on. To do this, you need to :
- Turn on your TV
- Press the V button
- Select Setup and confirm with OK
- Select closed captions or CC and confirm with OK again
- Turn the closed captions on or off depending on your needs
- Save your settings with the Exit button on your remote control
It’s pretty easy. There are situations where closed captions really get in the way and only distract you from watching the movie. It’s also common that people are just annoyed by the extra text on the screen. Use these instructions to turn them off until you need to activate them again. To do this, follow the same steps and select On for your subtitles.
