How to turn off subtitles on TV

Domestic TVs deactivate this function using the “txt” and “tx” buttons on the control panel. Imported - from the remote control you can turn it off or on using the “subtitle” or “sub-t” buttons. But if there are none, then in the “subtitles” section you can turn them on or off.

If a media file is viewed from a USB drive, then text information will be displayed due to the settings of the player that is installed for viewing. Here you can change the display type or turn it off completely. But if subtitles are already embedded in the video and recorded in the file as an image, then it will be impossible to disable them.

It should be noted that MKV files usually do not have problems with unpacking text information.
