My Sony Bravia has recently started to add Audio Description to several programmes on various channels. I don't want it. How do I stop it?

Hi paulfromcromford,

welcome to Questions & Answers..

Are you able to turn off Audio Description via..

Go to the Home menu..

Then browse to Settings..

Followed by Digital Set-up..

Then Subtitle Set-up..

Finally Subtitle Setting.?

Audio Description (AD) is not part of the subtitle set up. The current Manual includes it in Audio Set-up as a distinct sub-heading "Audio Description".

My Bravia is 3 years old and must have had an update recently which allowed it to make use of AD which is slowly becoming available to a lot of programmes. Unfortunately the update did not update the Tools function so I have the ability to take the AD facility but not the ability to switch it off.

Hey Paul,

I Just encountered the same issue on my Bravia KDL-26L4000 (another old Bravia) and hopefully the Bravia engine is not too dissimilar, but after switching it on today it just randomly added Audio Description on to E4.

The setting is not found under Sound Settings but under Menu> Set-Up> Digital Set-Up> Audio Set-Up> Audio Description. Conveniently, this was set to on, so I just set it to off and that removed the voiceover from the channels.

Hope that helps and that it works for you, or if you've already fixed it - this post is at least here to inform any others who may experience the same problem in the future.

Regards,

Faultlessdark

I have also got this problem and can't find a way to turn off the Audio Description.

Th TV Model is: KD-28DL11U

The Menu/Set-up/Digital Set-up I only have a choice of Subtitle Setting (which I set to 'Off'), Subtitle Language (English), Audio Language (English), Audio Type (Basic).

Under System Information it has Software Version 2.2.233, Starter 2.2.47, Signal Level - No Signal

Can anyone let me know how to fix this?

Many thanks,

Sally

I have a Sony KDL-32EX723U bought in 2011 and a KDL-52W5500 bought in 2009. I would like to use Audio Description on these sets but can find no reference in the supplied manuals. Can you advise if there is Audio Description available on these sets and, if so, how to activate it please?

Mnay thanks

How do we remove the voice on several programs which ends by saying 'audio description by de luxe'? So irritating.

Hi there

To stop Audio Description it is somewhere in the TVs settings. Unfortunately you have not listed your tv model, so i cant give you exactly where, but have a look around any way.

Cheers

Why has audio description been added to my settings. It's nothing but annoying. How the hell can I get rid of it. I've tried everything in my settings, and it's already turned off. The model I have, which is 3yrs old. KDL-42W653A

Hi there

For your model tv, have a look and the following link, as this should contain the settings for your issue.

L'audiodescription est apparue sur certaines chaînes et je n'arrive pas à la supprimer en suivant les instructions fournies par Sony.

Have had same problem...driving me crazy..tried everything ,...nothing worked...HOWEVER....tried this random solution and it seems to have worked:

Go To:

MENU, then:

SETTINGS, then

SET UP, (bottom icon), then

DIGITAL SET UP, then

TECHNICAL SET UP, then navigate right to:

AUTO SERVICE UPDATE - this should be on, CHANGE IT TO OFF, then underneath it, go to:

SOFTWARE DOWLOAD - this should also be on, CHANGE IT TO OFF, then go back to watchin TV for 10 minites.

THEN REPEAT THE WHOLE PROCEEDURE BUT SWITCH THE AUTO SERVICE UPDATE back to ON and the SOFTWARE DONLOAD back to on, then go back to watching TV....leave it for a while and it should remove the Audio Description.

I think what happened was the TV automatically updated and took a dowload to activate the service, but then Sony realised on old TV's you can't switch it off, (may have been a ruse to make us all buy new TV'S!, so then they might have issued another update/dowload to correct this, only you need to switch off and wait and then on for the TV to pick it up....something like that anyway...GOOD LUCK!!!! keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't come back to my Bravia which must be about ten years old now and good as new...ahhh, Sony......xxx
