Descriptive audio (also known as described video, audio description or video description) is a feature to help those who are blind or visually impaired understand what’s happening on the screen. When it’s enabled, you can still hear the original audio but visual elements will also be described by a narrator. This is only available for certain programs and will usually be indicated at the beginning of the program. When available, follow the steps below.
Good to know: On other platforms, such as Digital TV, descriptive audio may be controlled through the secondary audio programming (SAP) feature on your TV, which also changes the audio language.
