You can choose among the following options:
• Off – No captions appear.
• On always – Captions appear whenever they are available from the programme source.
• On replay – Captions appear only when you use the replay feature, and only when you are watching a
streaming programme that supports instant replay, watching a video through Roku Media Player or watching
a TV channel after enabling Live TV Pause.
• On mute – Captions appear only when the TV is muted.
Tip: You can also change the captions mode while watching a programme. Press
tings menu, and then select Accessibility. However, note that some streaming channels require you to enable
captions through a setting within their channel even though you have turned on captions elsewhere.
Note: Once enabled, the selected captions mode applies to all inputs that support captions, and remains ena-
bled until you turn it off.
Captions preferred language
Use the Captions preferred language to select the language in which you want captions to appear, when that

tions revert to the default language for the programme, which usually is English.
Highlight the language you prefer, and then press OK to select it.

For programmes that display captions, the Hard of hearing setting enables description of non-dialogue audio
within the captions, helping those with hearing impairment to enjoy the programme.
Access the hard of hearing setting from the Home Screen Menu by selecting Settings > Accessibility > Hard of
hearing. Choose On or Off.
