How to Turn Off Closed Caption on Samsung Tablet
Closed captions and other accessibility settings for your Samsung TV
Your TV comes with various Accessibility Settings to make it easier to use. If you aren't able to hear what is being said on the 6 o'clock news, you can turn on captions for your TV. Or, if the menus are hard to see, turn on High Contrast mode or enlarge the font.
Note: The available features may vary by model and software version.
The good news is you don't have to search for your favorite Accessibility settings on your TV. In fact, there's a handy shortcut that will pull them up for you in a snap.
On your Samsung Smart Remote, press and hold the Mute button to display the Accessibility Shortcut menu. On remotes without a Mute button, press in and hold the Volume key.
From here, you can turn on Accessibility functions.
