features. This edition of the User Guide describes Roku TV version 8.0. To determine the
current version of your Roku TV, go to Settings > System > About after you complete Guided
Setup.
The new standard in Smart TVs
Welcome to TV like you’ve most likely never seen before—a home screen that you can
personalize with your favorite devices and streaming channels. Choose from hundreds of
thousands of streaming movies and TV episodes, plus music, sports, kids, family, international
and much more. You should never run out of things to watch.

Get the most out of your new TV
Follow these simple steps to get the most out of your new TV.
1. Connect to the Internet
It’s simple, it’s easy, and it will unlock a world of entertainment. All you need is a
network connection. There are hundreds of free streaming channels, paid
subscription services like Netflix and Spotify, and convenient ways to rent or buy a
favorite film or show with, for example, Google Play.
2. Pick your favorite streaming channels
Find the entertainment you love. From the latest blockbuster movies to your favorite
TV shows, with tons of live sports, a broad selection of music streaming channels,
popular programming in a dozen international languages, 24x7 live news and so
much more, your new Roku TV has your sweet spot. A paid subscription or other
payments may be required for some channels.
3. Find Antenna TV shows in the Smart Guide
Only in the United States, use the Smart Guide to see not only what’s on TV right
now, but what was on up to a week ago, and what will be on in the coming two
weeks. And for many over-the-air programs, if you start watching the program after it
is already in progress, or you see something you missed in the Smart Guide, you can
use More Ways to Watch to find streaming channels where you can see the show
from the beginning, find other episodes, or entire seasons of the show, if applicable.
4. Use Roku’s Smart TV experience to discover More Ways to Watch on other inputs
Only in the United States, When watching programs from a cable box, Blu-ray player,
or other source connected to the HDMI® or AV inputs, keep an eye out for a
notification of streaming channels that offer the program you’re currently watching
and, if applicable, other episodes, the entire series, or other programs with similar
themes.
5. Personalize your Home screen
Put your favorite streaming channels, and TV inputs front-and-center on the Home
screen. No more flipping through inputs or wading through complicated menus. You
can even customize the names of each input and move tiles around so your mostoften used devices and streaming channels are only a click away.
3
6. Search for your favorite movie, TV show, actor, or director
Once you’re connected to the internet, you can easily search across top streaming
channels and Antenna TV channels. Search by movie or TV show title, actor or
director—all from one place. Search by typing words or phrases using the on-screen
keyboard or on your mobile device or, only in the United States, speak words or
phrases in a conversational tone using Voice Search. Some channels and content
require payment.
7. Pause live TV
Pause, resume, fast forward, and rewind TV shows. Simply connect your own USB
drive with 16GB or bigger capacity to the TV and pause live TV for up to 90 minutes.
Note: Live TV Pause is available on digital TV shows received on the Antenna TV
input, and only when the TV is linked to a valid Roku account.
8. Control your TV with voice commands
Only in the United States, use your Roku Voice Remote (select models), Enhanced
Voice Remote (select models), or the free Roku mobile app to control your Roku TV.
Use conversational voice commands to search for programs by title, actor, director,
or genre. Also use voice commands to launch streaming channels, switch inputs,
change Antenna TV channels, or open the Smart Guide.
9. Send your personal media to the big screen
Send personal photos, videos, and music from your compatible smartphone or tablet
to the TV screen in just a few taps. Plus, with certain channels, such as Netflix and
YouTube, you can send movies, shows, sport highlights, and more directly to your
TV.
10. Follow movies coming soon
Use My Feed to choose from and follow a list of upcoming movies, and then watch
for alerts each time one of your followed movies becomes available or changes
price.

*
11. Take charge with a smartphone or tablet
Control your TV with the included remote or from your compatible smartphone or
tablet with the free mobile app for iOS® and Android™ mobile devices*. Browse
channels, view My Feed, listen to audio from Antenna TV and streaming channels.
Search more easily using a your mobile device’s keyboard and, only in the United States, Voice Search.
Mirror your compatible smartphone or tablet on your TV. Share videos, photos, web
pages, and more from compatible devices.
12. Connect your Roku TV to networks found in hotels and college dorms
You can temporarily link the TV to your smartphone or table to agree to any terms,
enter codes, or provide required information before you can get Internet access.
Note: Using your Roku TV on a restricted public network requires wireless availability
and use of your network-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to authenticate
access to your account. You must use your Roku TV remote to initiate the
connection process. Streaming content might be limited due to your geographic
location or because of restrictions imposed by the network host.

Connections and setup
Refer to your TV’s Quick Start Guide or other provided documentation to for model-specific
information about attaching the base or a wall mount and making connections to AC power and
to your other audio/video devices. The following information applies to all Roku TV models.
Connecting an antenna, cable, or satellite box
If you are using an antenna, CATV cable without a set-top box, or a cable or satellite box that
has only an antenna output, connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not provided) from the device to
the ANT/CABLE input on the TV.
Tip: If you are using an antenna with a 300 ohm twin-lead cable, you need to use a 300-to-75
ohm adapter (not provided) to adapt the twin-lead cable to a connection that is compatible with
the TV’s antenna input.
Tip: If you receive your TV stations through a set top box from a cable or satellite TV provider,
connect it to the TV using the best connection method available. From most to least desirable:
HDMI® input – Digital HD and SD video
AV input – analog SD video
Antenna input – analog SD video using NTSC
6
Connecting external equipment with a composite AV video
cable
If the best connection available on your device is AV or composite video output, connect it to the
TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV cables typically have three RCAtype plugs on each end, color coded as follows:
Yellow – Video
Red – Audio, right channel
White or black – Audio, left channel
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the device and on the TV.
Note: Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the breakout cable
(included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your composite cable.
Connecting external equipment with an HDMI® cable
If possible, connect your devices using HDMI® cables (not provided). They help to provide the
best video quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is needed. For better
picture quality, we recommend that you use cables designated as High Speed HDMI® Cables.
Tip: You might need to configure the device to send its signal through its HDMI® connector.
The connector labeled HDMI IN (ARC) has the additional ability to use the audio return channel
to send digital audio to a receiver or sound bar, as explained in Connecting an AV receiver or
digital sound bar.
Connecting headphones or analog sound bar to the TV
You can connect headphones or an analog sound bar (not provided) to the TV’s headphone
jack.
Tip: Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in speakers.
7
Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest
volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not affected by TV volume or mute
settings and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want to use your
amplifier or sound bar to control the TV volume. To turn off the TV’s built-in speakers, in the
Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change the setting.
Connecting headphones to the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote
Select Roku TVs come with the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote. On these models, you can
connect headphones to the jack on the left side of the remote.
Tip: Inserting a plug in the remote’sheadphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in
speakers or attached receiver or sound bar. The volume and mute controls on the right side of
the remote adjust the volume level of the connected headphones.
Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest
volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound. You might notice that
connecting headphones to your remote shortens the remote’s battery life somewhat.
Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar
You can enjoy Dolby Audio™ multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital amplifier
or sound bar (not provided) in either of two ways:
Digital optical audio out (S/PDIF) – Connect a TOSLINK optical cable (not provided)
from the TV to the Optical input on your receiver or sound bar.
HDMI® ARC – Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC) connector
to the HDMI® input on your receiver or sound bar. This connection uses the Audio
Return Channel (ARC) feature of the HDMI® specification to output sound from the TV to
a compatible device. To use this feature, you must configure the TV to enable HDMI®
ARC, as explained in Enable HDMI® ARC.
8
Preparing for Internet connectivity
If you want to watch streaming content and take advantage of the cool features of your Roku
TV, connect it to the Internet through a wireless modem/router or a wireless access point (not
provided). The TV has a built-in wireless LAN adapter.
Note: The TV supports only its internal wireless network adapter—it does not support the use of
a USB network adapter.
Select 4K models have wired in addition to wireless network connectivity. To use the wired
network connection, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (not provided) from the jack on the back
of your TV to your network router or switch. The wired connection supports both 10 Base-T and
100 Base-T Ethernet.
9
AC power
Plug your TV into a power outlet. You can tell that the TV has power because the status light on
the front of the TV lights up when the TV is off.
The topic Status light explains how the status indicator shows what is happening with the TV.
Roku remote batteries
Open the back of your Roku remote and insert the included batteries, observing the proper
orientation as indicated in the battery compartment. Reattach the back cover.
Roku TV remote
Use the following information to identify the buttons on your Roku remote.
Note: Certain remote buttons and features vary by model. Your remote might not have all
buttons or features listed.
If your remote has a microphone button just below the purple pad, then you have a
Roku Voice Remote.
If your remote has a headphone jack on its left edge, then you have a Roku Enhanced
Voice Remote.

Guided Setup
With the preliminaries out of the way, it’s time to turn on your TV. As the TV starts for the first
time, it leads you through Guided Setup, which configures the TV before you start to use it.
During Guided Setup, you’ll:
Answer a few questions
Provide network connection information
Get a software update
Link your TV to your Roku account.
Connect devices such as a DVD player, game console, or cable box.
Starting Guided Setup
To start Guided Setup, press the POWER button on the remote to turn on your TV.
Note: Guided Setup normally runs only once, the first time you turn on your TV. If you need to
run Guided Setup again, you’ll have to perform a factory reset, as explained in Factory reset
everything.
When you first turn on your TV, it will take a few seconds to get itself ready. You’ll notice the
following things happening:
1. The status light blinks every time the TV is busy doing something; in this case it’s
powering up and getting ready for you.
2. The power-on screen appears and the status light blinks slowly for a few more seconds.
The power-on screen shows a brand logo while the TV starts up.
3. After a few seconds, Guided Setup starts.
18
Completing Guided Setup
Follow these steps to complete Guided Setup. At this point, you should be seeing the Language
screen.
1. Only on models that have a Roku voice remote: A few moments after the Let’s get
started screen appears, Guided Setup starts the pairing process for the voice remote.
(You’ll know if you have this type of remote because it will have microphone or search
button just below the down arrow on the purple pad.) If the voice remote does not pair
automatically, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the pairing process.
Tip: On TVs sold in the United States, if you are blind or visually impaired, you can
activate Audio Guide, a text-to-speech screen reader to help you navigate the TV’s
menus and commands. To enable the Audio Guide, press the button on the remote
four times in rapid succession. Repeat to disable Audio Guide. (The button is located
directly below the directional pad on the right side of the Roku remote.)
Note: If you enabled Audio Guide, choosing any language other than English disables it.
2. Press the DOWN arrow on the remote to highlight your preferred language, and then
press OK or the RIGHT arrow.
19
3. Some models have a country selection screen: If you don’t see this screen, skip ahead
to the next step. If you see this screen, select your country.
Note: If you enabled Audio Guide, choosing any country other than United States
disables it.
4. Press OK or the RIGHT arrow on the remote to go to the next screen:
Note: Somemodels show the title First things first instead of Set up environment.
5. Press OK to select Set up for home use. This is the right choice for enjoying your TV at
home. It provides energy saving options as well as access to all features of the TV.
20
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:

and watch DVDs. When you’re ready to connect, it’s easy. We’ll show you how in
Benefits of connecting.
21
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 toConnect your devices to
complete Guided Setup.
7. On models that have wireless only, or models with both wired and wireless and you’ve

them in order, with the strongest signals first. In addition to your own wireless signal, the
TV might pick up signals from your neighbors.
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.

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.
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.
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
24
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 8.0. 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.
