How To Turn Off Subtitles On Philips Tv

To turn off subtitles on your Philips TV, you need to find the correct method for your specific model. The quickest way is to press the "Subtitles" button on your remote, then select [Off], or use the "CC" button to toggle to [CC OFF].

Quickly turn off subtitles on your Philips TV model

Philips TVs run on several different operating systems, including Google TV, Android TV, Titan OS, Saphi, and Linux-based platforms. Older models also have their own unique menus.

This method works when playing videos via USB on these TV systems.

2. Select [Subtitles] and choose [Off].

Turn off closed captions on older Philips TV models

This method applies to older models such as the 26PF5320/28 and 32PF5320/28.

1. If your remote control has a "CC" (Closed Caption) button, press it repeatedly to toggle closed captioning on and off. Select [CC OFF] to turn them off.

For other older models like the 32PF9976/12, 42PF9956/12, 42PF9936D/37, 32PF9966/37, and 32PF9996/37, use the menu:

1. Press the 'MENU' button on your remote.
2. Press the cursor right to select FEATURES.
3. Press the cursor down to select CLOSED CAPTIONS.
4. Press the cursor right, then cursor up/down to select OFF.
5. Press the 'MENU' button to exit.

Turning off subtitles from streaming apps and external devices

If subtitles are appearing only in a specific streaming app like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, the subtitle setting is often controlled within that app itself, not the TV's system menu. For example, to manage captions in Amazon Prime, you need to open the app's own playback controls during a show. If you ever need to turn off subtitles on your TV and the system menus don't work, always check the individual app's audio and subtitle options first. For detailed steps on managing subtitles in Amazon Prime, you can find a dedicated page for that service.
