Setting Netflix audio/subtitles on AppleTV

+1 and thanks.works a treat and never would have thought of it

You're a star - thanks for that I was struggling with Norwegian until I found this reply!

Thank you! This works as well on the Enter or Select buttons on 3rd party remotes.

That's what I did and it worked first time!

THanks that helped me

THANK YOU!! It worked!!!🙂

Hi, I have the new Apple TV (4th gen) and I did not find that holding down the main button opened any options for turning off subtitles. Instead, I found that pausing the movie and gently touching the pad of the remote made an option appear at the top of the screen (swipe down to open menu). When you swipe down on the pad it opens up the language and subtitles options - just switch off.

This thread is related to the ATV3 not the 4. Your suggestion does not apply to this thread...

AWESOME! It did exactly what I needed!!

I used Siri. I said turn off subtitles and it worked!

SSiri is not available on the ATV2 - which is what this thread is about. However, for the ATV4 your answer would be accurate. Just the wrong thread...

Many thanks to whomever made the original suggestion to hold the main button. But once it brings up a Spanish/Portuguese option, I cannot figure out how to turn off the subtitles. Whatever I click just re-starts play. And this isn't happening with every program. Right now I am on The X Files and having to view Portuguese subtitles. I speak Spanish and would even be happy to change the subtitles to that language---Portuguese is just distracting. Any thoughts on what to do after I get the subtitle function to open with the main button??

IF you have Apple TV 4, you can simply tell Siti to "turn off subtitles."
