Vizio TV’s a great choice for those who prefer simplicity and features to something extraordinary. The developers have filled the TV with some great features like subtitles. The subtitles can be helpful for a wide range of people. These are the words that are written at the bottom of the picture and show dialogues between actors, background noises, and sound effects.

Even though, the feature’s widely used by people with hearing problems or by those who try to practice the new language, the subtitles may still annoy some users. Many people accidentally enable the feature and then try to find a way to get rid of it. Fortunately, there are several ways to disable the subtitles on your Vizio TV.

How to get rid of the subtitles on Vizio TV

Modern TVs are created in a way to satisfy the users’ needs. That’s why the developers have provided many useful features on the TV from casting the content from another device to an opportunity to read the text of the events that are displayed on the screen. The last is called the subtitles. They are helpful. For example, in case you watch your favorite movie and the actors are talking too quietly, the subtitles can give you an opportunity to understand what’s going on properly.

However, with such a huge amount of different features, users may get confused with using it. That’s why it’s not weird that many users get confused with such a huge range of features and often don’t know how to get rid of them. By the way, you shouldn’t worry about that, as not only Vizio TV users want to get rid of the subtitles, but LG TV, Sony TV, TCL TV, etc users also.

In case you’ve never lost your initial remote control, it means that you have that one that came with Vizio TV. There you should see the “CC” button. This button is used to switch off or on the subtitles, depending on the current condition of the feature. To do that, you should just press it. However, the location of this button can slightly vary depending on the model of your Vizio TV and the remote control, or, it can be completely absent in case you have the Universal Remote model.

Basically, Vizio TVs have the same principle of managing the subtitles as any other TV. However, in case your remote control is Universal, don’t worry there are still some methods of managing this feature without the “CC” button.
