How do I disable automatic voice announcements on Apple TV?

Apple TV 4K speaks by itself at start up, says things like “ Dolby Vision” by itself. Voiceover is turned off.

Speaks at a high rate of speed. Not sure how to turn it off.

Try this to turn off voice over


There are three ways to turn VoiceOver on or off: 

  • Go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then turn VoiceOver on or off.
  • Hold the Siri button on your Siri Remote*, then say "Turn VoiceOver on" or "Turn VoiceOver off."
  • On your remote, press the Menu button or the Back button three times to turn VoiceOver on or off.
