  1. Some apps, such as Netflix and Hulu, have their own subtitle options. If you turned off subtitles on your TV but still see them in these apps, make sure you have subtitles disabled in the app's menu as well.

  3. If captions still appear, you may need to reset your TV. Keep in mind this will remove installed apps and settings.
    • Navigate to Settings.
    • Select Support.
    • Select Device Care.
    • Select Self Diagnosis.
    • Select Reset Smart Hub.
    • Enter your PIN.
