What is HDMI?
HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of
digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression.
Multimedia interface is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio.
The dierence between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP(High Bandwidth
Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel digital audio.
Each DVD player/STB has a dierent back panel configuration.
Connect an HDMI Cable between the HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3 connector on the TV and the HDMI connector on the
DVD player/Set-Top Box.
Notes:
1. Whenever you connect an external device to your TV, make sure that power on the unit is turned o.

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 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

Setting up Antenna TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you may also
want to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to
the ANT input. On your Roku TV, you watch broadcast TV in much the same way you
watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile in this case, the Antenna TV
tile from the Home screen.
The first time you select the Antenna TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting
up the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Antenna TV channel
list.
Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided
by a cable or satellite company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes
use an HDMI® connection.
More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or
remove it from the Home screen as explained in Remove unwanted tiles.
When you set up Antenna TV, the TV scans the signals on its antenna input for channels with a
good signal, and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a
very weak signal.
The TV lets you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal, for the purpose of using
an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3

About using your TV on a restricted public network
Here are some points to keep in mind when using your TV on a restricted public

• Using your Roku TV on a hotel or dorm room network requires wireless
availability and a network-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to
authenticate access to your wireless access point.
• You will need your Roku TV remote.
• Some content might be limited or unavailable if you try to connect outside
your home country due to geo-filtering.
