Learn how to increase the font size of your Xfinity X1 On-Screen Guide text using the Enhanced Text Readability setting.
Adjusting X1 on-screen text size
- Press the xfinity button on your remote and use the right and left arrow keys to highlight the Settings wheel icon. Press OK.
- Use the down arrow key to highlight Accessibility Settings and press OK.
- Use the down arrow key to highlight Enhanced Text Readability. Press OK to turn the setting on or off.
- A notification will appear to let you know that turning Enhanced Text Readability on or off requires X1 to refresh the system, which will take a moment to complete. Press OK to proceed or press the right arrow and then OK to cancel.
- After your X1 TV box refreshes, press the Guide button to the lower-left of your remote control's directional arrow pad to check out the new text size in the Guide.
Notes:
- Enhanced Text Readability can also be found under Settings > Preferences > General.
- If you have difficulty reading on-screen text, you may also benefit from enabling Voice Guidance, the talking guide feature on X1, or using the Xfinity Voice Remote, which will decrease reliance on reading on-screen menus.
