How to Turn Subtitles On and Off in Netflix on a Hisense TV
Before you can activate or deactivate Netflix subtitles on a Hisense TV, you’ll first need to link your device to your profile. More specifically, you need to connect your Hisense Google TV media player or Hisense TV to a Netflix profile.
Take the following steps if the remote contains a Hicast@ button:

- Press “Continue” to finalize the process.
Finally, here’s what you need to do if you have a Hisense Roku TV:
- Navigate to your home screen and open “Netflix.”
- Choose the “Sign in” option. If there isn’t a sign-in screen, choose “Yes” when asked if you’re a subscriber to Netflix. If you haven’t set up your account, do it before proceeding.
- Type in your email address.
- Choose “Next.”
- Enter your password and press the “Sign in” option.
- Select “Start,” and your device should be connected.
