7 Methods to Fix Samsung TV Subtitles Problems

Subtitles are a useful feature that can help you enjoy your favorite shows and movies in different languages, or if you have hearing difficulties. However, sometimes you may encounter some problems with subtitles on your Samsung TV, such as subtitles not showing, not syncing, or not turning off. In this article, we will explain why these problems occur and how to fix them with some simple methods. We will also introduce a powerful tool that can help you encode subtitles into videos with ease: HitPaw Video Converter.

Part 1: Why Samsung TV Subtitles Problems Occur?

There are several possible reasons why subtitles may not work properly on your Samsung TV. Some of the common causes are:

• Incompatible subtitle file formats: Samsung TVs support external subtitle files in .ttxt, .smi, .srt, .sub, .ssa and .ass formats. If your subtitle file is in a different format, it may not be recognized by the TV.
• Faulty or outdated firmware: The software on your TV may have some bugs or glitches that affect the subtitle function. Updating the firmware to the latest version may solve the problem.
• Incorrect subtitle settings: You may have turned off the subtitle function in the TV settings, or selected the wrong language or mode for the subtitles. You need to check and adjust the subtitle settings according to your preference.
• Different subtitle settings for different sources: If you are watching TV via an aerial connection, a streaming app, or an external device, you may need to enable subtitles separately for each source. The subtitle settings on the TV menu may not apply to all sources.

Part 2: 7 Methods to Fix Samsung TV Subtitles Problems

Depending on the cause of the problem, you can try one or more of the following methods to fix the subtitles on your Samsung TV:

Method 1: Enable subtitles in the TV settings:

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitle Settings > Subtitle > On. This will turn on the subtitles for TV programs via an aerial connection.

Method 2: Enable subtitles in the source settings:

If you are watching TV via a streaming app or an external device, you need to enable subtitles in the settings of the source. For example, if you are watching Netflix, you need to go to the Netflix menu and select the subtitles option. The same applies to other sources like YouTube, Amazon Prime, etc.

Method 3: Change the subtitle language or mode:

Sometimes, the subtitles may not show because the language or mode is not compatible with the video. You can change the subtitle language or mode in the TV settings or the source settings. For example, you can choose between normal, hearing impaired, or hard of hearing modes for the subtitles.

Method 4: Update the firmware on your TV:

Updating the firmware on your TV may fix some bugs or glitches that affect the subtitle function. You can update the firmware by going to Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now. Make sure your TV is connected to the internet before updating.

Method 5: Convert the subtitle file format:

If your subtitle file is in a format that is not supported by your TV, you can convert it to a compatible format using a video converter tool like HitPaw Video Converter. This tool can also help you encode subtitles into videos, which we will explain in the next part.

Method 6: Adjust the subtitle sync

Sometimes, the subtitles may not match the audio or video of the program. You can adjust the subtitle sync by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitle Settings > Subtitle Sync. You can use the left or right arrow buttons to delay or advance the subtitles.

Method 7: Reset the TV

If none of the above methods work, you can try resetting the TV to its factory settings. This will erase all your personal settings and preferences, so make sure you back up your data before resetting. To reset the TV, go to Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Reset. You will need to enter your PIN to confirm the reset.
