Accessing Accessibility Settings

There are two ways to reach the access­ib­il­ity options:

From the Set­tings menu: Press the Set­tings but­ton on your remote, then select Access­ib­il­ity.

Using the quick shortcut: Hold down the Mute but­ton to open the Access­ib­il­ity Short­cuts menu. This gives you fast access to toggle set­tings without nav­ig­at­ing through menus.

Available Settings

Audio Descrip­tion #

Turns on spoken nar­ra­tion dur­ing pro­grammes that sup­port it, describ­ing visu­al ele­ments dur­ing gaps in dia­logue. This set­ting syncs with Freely – if you turn it on here, it will also be on in Freely, and vice versa.

Audio Guid­ance #

Provides spoken feed­back as you nav­ig­ate menus and screens on your Aero. This helps you move around the inter­face without rely­ing on the display.

Note: Audio Guid­ance works on TiVo screens but does not cur­rently work with­in Freely. For access­ible nav­ig­a­tion in Freely, see the Access­ible TV Guide on Chan­nel 555.

Power On/​Off Sound #

A short sound plays when your Aero turns on or off, giv­ing you audio con­firm­a­tion that the device is respond­ing. This is enabled by default but can be turned off if you prefer.

Settings Sync Between Freely and TiVo

The Audio Descrip­tion set­ting is linked between Freely and TiVo. When you change it in one place, the change applies every­where on your Aero. This means you only need to set your pref­er­ence once, and it’ll be remembered across both environments.

Oth­er set­tings like High Con­trast in Freely and Audio Guid­ance in TiVo are inde­pend­ent, as they apply to dif­fer­ent parts of the system.
