Quick Guide: Turning Off Audio Description on Sky Q

Turning off audio description is a simple process using your Sky Q remote. Follow these steps to quickly disable it:

  1. Locate the question mark button ? on your Sky Q remote (it's usually to the right of the number 0). Alternatively, if you have the Sky Q Accessibility remote, press the dedicated AD button.
  2. Press the ? or AD button. This will bring up a menu on your screen.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here are the detailed steps for disabling audio description on your Sky Q box:

  • Identify the Correct Button: Find the ? button on your standard Sky Q remote. It's positioned just to the right of the number 0. If you are using a Sky Q Accessibility remote, look for the dedicated AD button instead.
  • Access the Menu: Press either the ? or the AD button. This action immediately brings up an accessibility menu overlay on your TV screen.
  • Toggle the Setting: Within the displayed menu, you will see an option for "Audio Description". Press the Select button (the large button in the center of the directional arrows) to change the status of audio description. Each press of the Select button will toggle the feature between On and Off.
  • Exit the Menu: Once you have confirmed that Audio Description is set to Off, you can close the menu. Locate the Dismiss button, found to the left of the Home button (located directly beneath the down arrow). Press Dismiss to clear the menu from your screen and return to your viewing.

By following these steps, you can easily manage the audio description setting on your Sky Q service.
