Your Sony Bravia Android TV is not displaying closed captions for your cable, antenna, or streaming content. You can enable and customize these settings by following a few simple steps.

  1. Press the settings button on your remote to open the settings menu. [0:20]
  2. Navigate down to Device Preferences. [0:29]
  3. Scroll down and select Accessibility. [0:36]
  4. Select the Captions option at the top of the list. [0:43]
  5. Choose between Cable/Antenna or Streaming/Other content to toggle the caption display on or off for those specific sources. [0:51]
  6. If you selected the streaming option, you can further customize the appearance of the text to suit your preferences.

Ninja Tip: Many streaming apps like Netflix or YouTube have their own built-in caption settings that operate independently of your TV’s system settings; check the playback menu within the app if you still don’t see text after enabling the main system captions.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, you can perform a factory reset by navigating to Settings > Device Preferences > About > Factory data reset.
