HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury
may occur.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel.
This may cause skin inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the
liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15
minutes or longer in clean water.
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel
for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and
cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is displaying the
following formats or images:
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9)
media on a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style
(4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides of screen).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we
disclaim any responsibility for these symptoms.

Note: Store mode configures the TV for retail display and is not recommended for any other use.
In store mode, some features of the TV are missing or limited. To switch from one mode to the
other, you have to perform a factory reset as explained in Factory reset everything, and then
repeat Guided Setup.

Network connection
After you select Set up for home use, the TV prompts you to make a network connection. If your
TV has both wired and wireless connections, you’ll see the following screen.
6. Only models that display the Connect to the Internet screen: Make a selection:
Wireless connection – Highlight Set up new wireless connection and press OK. The TV
prompts you through wireless setup. Skip ahead to the next step for help with the process.
Wired connection – Highlight Connect to wired network and press OK. The TV immediately
attempts to connect to your wired network, your local network, and then the Internet. Go
to Step 9 to continue with Guided Setup.
Connect to the Internet later – If you don’t want to connect to the Internet right now, you
can skip this step and use the TV to watch broadcasts, play games, and watch DVDs. When
you’re ready to connect, it’s easy. We’ll show you how in Benefits of connecting.
Note: If you decide not to connect, Guided Setup skips ahead to setting up the devices that
you’ve connected to your TV. Jump ahead to Connect your devices to complete Guided Setup.
7. On models that have wireless only, or models with both wired and wireless and you’ve selected
Wireless: The TV scans for the wireless networks within range and displays them in order, with
the strongest signals first. In addition to your own wireless signal, the TV might pick up signals
from your neighbors.
22
Press the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the name of your wireless network, and then press
OK to select it.
Note: Some networks, such as those often found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other public places,
require you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide identifying information before
letting you connect to the Internet. If your Roku TV detects that you are connecting to such a
network, it prompts you through the connection process using your compatible smartphone or
tablet to provide the needed information. For more information, see Using your TV in a hotel or
dorm room.
Other options
Connect to the Internet later – If you don’t want to connect to the Internet right now, you
can skip this step and use the TV to watch broadcasts, play games, and watch DVDs. When
you’re ready to connect, it’s easy. We’ll show you how in Benefits of connecting.
Note: If you decide not to connect, Guided Setup skips ahead to setting up the devices that
you’ve connected to your TV. Jump ahead to Connect your devices to continue.
Scan again / Scan again to see all networks – The name of this option depends on the
number of wireless networks within range.
o Scan again appears if the list already shows all available wireless networks within range.
If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, you might need to adjust the
location of your wireless router or the TV, turn on your router, or make other changes.
When everything is ready, select Scan again to see if your network name now appears in
the list.
23
o Scan again to see all networks appears if there are more wireless networks than the
strongest ones it initially listed. If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list,
this option displays the complete list. If you still don’t see your network name, you
might have your router configured to provide wireless service as a “private network.”
Note: Highlighting either of these options displays an informational panel with the
unique media access control (MAC) address of your Roku TV. You will need the MAC
address if your wireless router is configured to use MAC address filtering.
Private network – If your wireless network name is hidden, it won’t appear in the list. Select
Private network to display an on-screen keyboard, and use it to enter your network name.
Unless you changed the factory-set network name, you can find the name (also called SSID)
on a label on the router.
Tip: Wireless networks that are password-protected display a “padlock” icon adjacent to the
name. This icon enables you to know that you are going to be prompted to enter a password
after you select that network.
8. Only if you select a password protected wireless network: An on-screen keyboard appears. Use
the keyboard to enter the network password.
After you submit your wireless network password, the TV displays progress messages as it
connects to your wireless network, your local network, and the Internet.
24
9. Only if your TV cannot get the correct time zone and current time from your network service
provider: Use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight your time zone, and then press OK.
Tip: Your TV needs to know the local time zone so that it can correctly display information about
the program you are currently watching. If the TV is unable to automatically determine the local
time zone, it prompts you to choose your time zone from a list.
As soon as the TV is able to connect to the Internet, it downloads and installs its first software
update, and then restarts.
Tip: Your TV automatically checks for updates periodically. These updates provide new features
and improve your overall experience with the TV. After an update, you might notice that some
options have moved, and that there are new options or features. This User Guide describes
version 7.6. To determine your current Roku TV software version, go to Settings > System >
About after you complete Guided Setup. You can download an updated User Guide that matches
your Roku TV software version from the Roku TV web site.

Activation
After the TV restarts, it displays the Activation screen:
10. Using a compatible computer, tablet, or smartphone
with an Internet connection, go to the web address
displayed on the screen and enter the code that
appears on your screen.
After you log in or create your Roku account, the link
page suggests that you select some streaming
channels. After you confirm your selections, the TV
gets an acknowledgement, and then adds your
preexisting and newly-selected streaming channels to
your Roku TV. This process is automatic and takes a
few moments—a little longer if you already have a lot
of streaming channels to add.
Tip: Streaming channels from all Roku streaming
devices associated with your account are synchronized
periodically, so that all of your Roku streaming devices
have the same set of streaming channels (subject to compatibility with the device).
Why do I need a Roku Account?
You need a Roku account for several reasons.
It links you, your Roku TV, and your other
Roku streaming devices to the Roku
Channel Store and billing service.
Streaming content providers know that it’s
OK to send content you request to your
Roku TV.
Roku can automatically send updates to
your device.
You need a Roku account to activate your
device and access entertainment across
thousands of streaming channels. Roku
accounts are free, and while a valid credit card
number is not required to create your account,
providing your credit card information makes
renting and purchasing entertainment from
the Roku Channel Store fast and convenient.

Connect your devices
Next, Guided Setup helps you set up the external devices that you want to use with it, such as a cable
box, Blu-ray™ player, or game console.
11. Press the OK or RIGHT arrow to proceed:
27
12. Connect all the devices you plan to use with your TV, turn them all on, and then select
Everything is plugged in and turned on. The TV now takes you step by step through each of its
inputs and asks what kind of device you have connected. On each input that has a connected
and active device, you can see its picture and hear its sound.
13. Press the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the label you want to associate with the input. If you
are not using the input, select Nothing, and the input won’t appear on the Home screen.
14. While setting up your devices, rather than using the predefined names and icons, you can set a
custom name and icon. To do so, scroll up or down to highlight Set custom name & icon, and
then press OK. Follow the instructions on the screen to enter a name and select an icon for the
input. See Rename inputs for more information.
15. Repeat the previous step for each input.
You’re done with Guided Setup.
Note: Some Roku TVs, depending on where you live and other factors, show you an introductory
video filled with some great hints and tips. If you’re not interested in viewing this video, press on
the remote control to exit to the Roku TV Home screen.
28
When you finish Guided Setup, and whenever you press on the remote control, the Home screen
greets you.
From here, you can explore everything your TV has to offer. Press the arrow buttons to move around,
and press OK to select a highlighted item. We’ve designed the TV to encourage you to explore, and you
can probably figure out most of the capabilities and settings on your own. If you have any questions or
difficulties, you can find answers and solutions in this guide.
If you find yourself a long way from the Home screen, you can always get back right away by pressing
one button: .
