Turning off Audio Description (AD) on your Sky Q box is a straightforward process using your remote control.
You can quickly disable Audio Description directly from your Sky Q remote by following a few simple steps.
Steps to Turn Off Audio Description
The method for toggling Audio Description depends slightly on which Sky Q remote you are using, either the standard Sky Q remote or the Sky Q Accessibility remote.
Here's how to do it:
- Identify Your Remote: Determine if you are using the standard Sky Q remote or the Sky Q Accessibility remote.
- Access the Audio Description Menu:
- If using the standard Sky Q remote, press the ? (question mark) button. This button is typically located to the right of the number zero.
- If using the Sky Q Accessibility remote, press the dedicated AD button.
- Toggle Audio Description: A menu will appear on your screen. Use the directional buttons if needed and then press the Select button to toggle the Audio Description setting. Keep pressing Select until the option shows "Off".
- Close the Menu: Once you have confirmed that Audio Description is off, press the Dismiss button. The Dismiss button is located to the left of the Home button, which is directly below the down arrow on your remote.
By following these steps, you will turn off the audio descriptions that narrate on-screen actions and scenes.
