Subtitles can enhance your viewing experience, especially when watching content in a foreign language. However, they can sometimes obstruct the picture, making it difficult to enjoy the content fully. If you find subtitles distracting, here’s how to turn them off on your Samsung TV.
Why Subtitles May Not Turn Off on Your Samsung TV
Before diving into the steps, it’s important to understand where you need to disable subtitles. Depending on how you’re watching content, you may need to turn off subtitles on the TV itself or through a connected device or app.
- If You’re Watching TV Through Cable or Satellite:
You can disable subtitles directly from the TV menu. - If You’re Using a Streaming Device (e.g., Roku, Chromecast, Fire Stick):
Subtitles need to be turned off in the device settings. Since the TV is simply displaying the video stream from the HDMI input, the settings must be adjusted on the streaming device. - If You’re Using a Streaming App (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu):
Subtitles are managed within the app’s settings. - If You’re Watching DVD or Blu-ray:
Subtitles must be disabled through the disc menu.
How to Disable Subtitles on Your Samsung TV
Disabling subtitles on a Samsung TV is usually straightforward. However, the steps might vary slightly depending on your TV’s model and software version. Samsung regularly updates its operating system, so always check for instructions specific to your model if needed.
- Access the Menu: Press the Home button on your remote.
- Navigate to Settings: Go to General > Accessibility > Caption Settings.
- Turn Off Subtitles: Toggle the Closed Captions (CC) option to Off.
Disabling Subtitles in Streaming Apps
When watching content through a streaming service, you can usually turn off subtitles directly within the app. Here’s how to disable subtitles on Amazon Prime Video:
- Start Playing a Video: Open the Amazon Prime Video app and select a video to play.
- Access the Subtitles Menu: During playback, tap or click the screen to bring up the playback controls.
- Open Subtitles and Audio Options: Select the speech bubble icon or Subtitle/Audio button.
- Turn Off Subtitles: Check Subtitles off to disable subtitles.
These steps are similar for most streaming apps, including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and others. Simply look for the Subtitles or Closed Captions option and switch it off.
Understanding Closed Captioning and Subtitles: The Difference
Closed captioning is essentially the same as regular captioning. The term closed captioning was coined during the transition from analog to digital television. The term was created to make the user realize that closed captioning can be enabled because it is broadcast separately from the video image.
The claim that closed captioning is inherently superior to standard captioning is a misconception. This belief became widespread on the Internet when various websites began recycling information from other sources, resulting in widespread misinformation.

I can’t shut off the subtitles of an MP4 movie we want to watch from a flash drive. The caption setting is OFF. Our other Samsung TV has an option through the “TOOLS” button that works great. This newer Samsung’s remote does not have the tools function. Trying to stop the subtitles through the “accessibility” menu merely frustrates us. Is there some real help?
How do you get video, via cable TV or HDMI input.
I’ve tried the apps and the tv itself. CC still will not turn off.
Yes information about the TV on the main board. You will get a new serial number for the TV. You can look for a similar TV with a broken screen or a new board. It costs about $100-$150.
replaycing the main board I can “relive” my tv?
Try turning on the TV without the Internet. Disconnect the Wifi router or unplug the Internet cable. If this does not help, there is information in the TV’s permanent memory. You can try doing a factory reset in the service menu without connecting the internet. If this does not help, you need to buy and replace the main board of the TV.
