Accessibility settings are features 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 access the Accessibility menu, press the XXX.GST (Quick Settings) button and navigate to [All settings] > [Accessibility]. Within this menu, the following options are available:
[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] – 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 colour-blind users. This setting allows you to adjust how colours are displayed. Available modes include:
[Deuteranomaly] (green-red)
[Protanomaly] (red-green)
[Tritanomaly] (blue-yellow)
[Greyscale] (Achromatopsia)
[Accessibility shortcut] – A quick way to enable an accessibility feature. When the shortcut is active, press both 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)] – You can choose how long to show messages that ask you to take action, but are visible only temporarily.
[Key repeat delay] – Adjusts the delay before a held key starts repeating.
[Switch Access] – Allows control of the TV using one or more external switches instead of the remote control. Items on the screen are scanned and highlighted sequentially until a selection is made.
[Audio description] – Adds a narration track that describes visual elements of the programme, aiding visually impaired users. Available only with supported digital TV content.

[Display] – Turns captions on or off.
[Language] – Selects the preferred caption language.
[Text size] – Adjusts the size of the displayed text.
[White on black] / [Black on white] – Choose the caption text and background colour combination.
