Accessibility settings are designed to make the TV easier to use for people with disabilities. These settings assist users with visual or hearing impairments by adapting the TV interface and content.
To open the Accessibility menu, press the XXX.GST (Quick Settings) button and select [All settings] > [Accessibility]. Within this menu, you will find the following options:
[TalkBack (screen reader)] – A screen reader that assists visually impaired users by reading aloud on-screen text, menu items and other interface elements. It can also be activated using the accessibility shortcut.
[Text to speech] – Opens settings for the TalkBack screen reader.
[Text scaling] – Adjusts the size of text in the TV menus.
[Bold text] – Makes menu text bold for easier readability.
[Colour correction] – An accessibility option for users with colour vision deficiency. This setting allows you to adjust how colours are displayed. Available modes include:
[Deuteranomaly] – Green-red colour correction.
[Protanomaly] – Red-green colour correction.
[Tritanomaly] – Blue-yellow colour correction.
[Greyscale] – Displays colours in shades of grey.
[Accessibility shortcut] – Provides a quick way to enable a selected accessibility feature.
When the shortcut is active, press and hold the XXX.GLF (Back) and down arrow buttons for 3 seconds to start the selected accessibility feature. You can choose the shortcut function under [Shortcut service]. The default option is TalkBack.
[Time to take action (accessibility timeout)] – Allows you to choose how long temporary messages that require action remain visible on the screen.
[Key repeat delay] – Adjusts the delay before a held key starts repeating.
