Can you turn the default subtitles setting to "off" on the media player?

Hi - I have the Samsung 55" TU7020 TV and whenever I watch anything through the USB/media player, it always plays things with the subtitles on... I have to manually switch them off EVERY time. Just wondering if there's anything I can do so the default setting would be to play things with the  subtitles OFF? Thanks.

subtitles are not controlled by the TV. Depending on the programs watched it all depends if somebody has gone to the trouble of adding subtitles to a program... there should be a subtitle button on your remote that should turn off the subtitles

Thanks... is it possible to talk me through how to do that at all? Sorry to be a pain... I'm a bit of a newbie at things like this!

Hi - yeah, it's possible to remove the subtitles manually - but you have to go into the media player settings, select subtitles, then "off", then "OK", then return etc. ... the whole thing takes over 10 presses and it just gets a bit frustrating having to do it EVERY time, lol. I was just wondering if there's an option so the default subtitle setting on the media player is "off"...it would make more sense!?  Cheers.

Perfectly understand what you mean. I haven't been able to change the default to no subtitles.

Yeah, it's strange... you'd think it would be the other way around (and the default setting would be subtitles OFF) 🤷‍♂️

THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD.  EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Watching a season of 22 min episodes and having to turn the Subtitles off every single episode is maddening for how simple a fix it should be.

SAMSUNG!!!!! fix your media player defaults!!!!

Totally agree, this is the most annoying feature of every Samsung TV.
