To turn off audio description on Sky Q using your remote, press the ? button (on the standard remote) or the AD button (on the Accessibility remote), then press Select to toggle the setting Off, and finally press Dismiss to close the menu.
Turning Off Audio Description on Sky Q
Audio Description (AD) is an optional service that provides additional commentary for visually impaired viewers, describing actions, body language, and scene changes. If this feature is active and you wish to disable it, you can do so quickly using your Sky Q remote. The method depends slightly on which type of Sky Q remote you are using.
The quickest way to manage Audio Description is through a dedicated access button on your remote control.
Using the Standard Sky Q Remote
If you are using the standard Sky Q remote, follow these simple steps:
- Locate the ? (question mark) button on your remote. This button is found on the right side, next to the number zero.
- Press the ? button. This action will open a quick menu overlay on your TV screen, providing access to features like Audio Description.
- Navigate within the menu to the Audio Description option. Press the Select button (the large central button) to change the setting. Each press of the Select button will toggle the Audio Description status between On and Off. Press it until it shows as Off.
- Once you have turned Audio Description Off, press the Dismiss button to remove the menu from your screen. The Dismiss button is located to the left of the Home button (which is directly below the down arrow in the navigation cluster).
Using the Sky Q Accessibility Remote
For users with the Sky Q Accessibility remote, there is a specific button dedicated to this feature, making it even easier:
- Find the AD button on your Accessibility remote. This button is clearly labelled.
- Press the AD button. This will also bring up the quick access menu overlay on your screen.
- Use the Select button to toggle the Audio Description setting. Press Select when the option is On to turn it Off.
- To close the menu overlay and return to watching your programme, press the Dismiss button.
By following these steps using either remote, you can easily control the Audio Description setting on your Sky Q system.
