Why do you still see subtitles after you turn them off on Sony TV?
f you’ve followed the steps to turn off subtitles on your Sony TV, but they’re still appearing on the screen, there may be a few reasons why:
- Subtitles are still turned on for a specific app: Some apps on your Sony TV may have their own settings. If you’ve turned off subtitles using the TV’s general settings but still appearing on a specific app, you may need to turn off subtitles within that app’s settings.
- The TV’s software needs updating: If your Sony TV’s software isn’t current, it may cause glitches or issues with its settings. Updating your TV’s software may resolve the issue of subtitles not turning off.
- The content you’re watching has hardcoded subtitles: Some TV shows and movies have subtitles that are hardcoded into the video, meaning they can’t be turned off. If you’re watching content that has hardcoded subtitles, you won’t be able to turn them off using the TV’s settings.
- The TV’s closed captioning settings aren’t properly configured: In some cases, the TV’s closed captioning settings may not be properly configured. You may need to go back into the settings menu and double-check that closed captioning is turned off for all settings.
If you’re still experiencing issues with subtitles appearing on your Sony TV, try troubleshooting the problem by checking the above points. If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Sony customer support for further assistance.
