• Closed captioning – Controls when you see captions. This setting is only offered for Antenna
TV, the AV input, and streaming videos. Any set value remains in effect across only these inputs.
o Antenna TV – Set captions to off, always on, on only when the TV sound is muted, or
on only during instant replay (when Live TV Pause has been enabled).
o AV input – Set captions to off, always on, or on only when the TV sound is muted.
o Streaming video channel – For streaming content that provides closed captions, set
captions to off, always on, on only when the TV sound is muted, or on only during
instant replay (for streaming content that supports instant replay). Note that some
streaming channels have other methods for turning captions on and off. In these cases,
the Closed captioning option does not appear on the Options menu.
Note: If the button is not available on your remote, you can use this feature in the
Roku mobile app. For more information, see Getting and using the Roku mobile app.
• Captioning track – Selects which caption track to display when Closed Captioning is on. This
setting remains in effect on all inputs that provide captions.

and which choice to play. This setting applies only to Antenna TV on digital channels.
Video description through Secondary Audio Program (SAP)
Video description is audio descriptions of the action in a program, to help individuals who are blind or
visually impaired enjoy the program. You enable video description by selecting one of the Secondary
Audio Program (SAP) options.
To hear video description narrations in programs that have them, turn on SAP. If there are multiple
SAP options for a channel, such as Spanish and French, try each one to determine which setting
carries the video description track.
Note: Broadcasters provide video descriptions only on a small number of programs. If you are unable to
hear video descriptions after following these instructions, the program you are viewing does not provide
them.
