electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable.

As you enjoy your television, please note that all

televisions – new and old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.

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-to75-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

•

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 RCA-type 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 (ARC) has the additional ability to use the audio return channel to send digital audio to a receiver or soundbar, as explained in Connecting an AV receiver or

digital soundbar. Only on select models: The connector labeled HDMI (eARC) provides the

same functionality as the HDMI ARC connector, plus the ability to pass through full-resolution sound formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from and to devices that support these formats, without additional processing by the TV. Additional details are provided in Choosing an audio format.

Connecting headphones or analog soundbar

You can connect headphones or an analog soundbar (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.

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 aected by TV volume or mute settings and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want to use your ampliﬁer or soundbar to control the TV volume. To turn o the TV’s built-in speakers, from 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’s headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in speakers or attached receiver or soundbar. 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 soundbar

You can enjoy Dolby Audio™ multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital ampliﬁer or soundbar (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 soundbar.

HDMI® ARC – Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC) connector to the HDMI® input on your receiver or soundbar. This connection uses the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature of HDMI® 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

or eARC.

HDMI® eARC – Select models only: Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (eARC) connector to the HDMI (ARC) or HDMI (eARC) input on your receiver or soundbar. If

your receiver or soundbar supports HDMI enhanced ARC (eARC), the TV can pass through full-resolution sound from programs containing enhanced audio. If your receiver or soundbar does not support eARC, use the TV’s eARC port to make the ARC connection. The eARC port is backward compatible with the ARC standard.

Preparing for Internet connectivity

If you want to watch streaming content and take advantage of most 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 models have both wired and 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 automatically supports both 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T Ethernet.

AC power

Plug your TV into a power outlet. You can tell that the TV has power because the status indicator lights up when the TV is o.

The topic Status indicator 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.

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 POWER 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 must 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 indicator blinks every time the TV is busy doing something; in this case it’s

powering up and getting ready for you.

2. The splash screen appears and the status indicator 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.

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 has a VOICE D or SEARCH

button just below the purple directional pad.) If the voice remote does not pair

automatically, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the pairing process.

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.

6. On models that have wireless only, and models with both wired and wireless when 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.

Press UP or DOWN 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 smartphone or tablet to provide the needed information. For more information, see Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room.

Other options

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.

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.

7. Only if you select a password protected wireless network: An on-screen keyboard appears. Enter your wireless network password by using the purple directional pad to navigate the keyboard, and pressing OK to select a highlighted letter, number, or symbol. When you ﬁnish, press DOWN to select Connect, and then press OK.

After you select Connect, the TV displays progress messages as it connects to your wireless network, your local network, and the Internet.

8. Only if your TV cannot get the correct time zone and current time from your network service provider: The Choose your time zone screen appears. Press UP or DOWN to

highlight your time zone, and then press OK.

Tips: Your TV needs to know the local time zone so that it can correctly display

information about the program you are currently watching.

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 9.3. 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 prompts you through activation.

9. Use a computer, tablet, or smartphone with an Internet connection to link to a new or existing Roku account.

Note: Roku does not charge for activation support – beware of scams.

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. Linking to a Roku account also activates several advanced features on your TV, such as Guest Mode, the Roku mobile app, and Live TV Pause, to name just a few. 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, purchasing, and subscribing to entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and convenient.

After you activate your TV, the TV gets an acknowledgement, and then adds your newly-selected and pre-existing streaming channels from other Roku devices on the same account. This process is automatic and takes a few moments—a little longer if you have added a lot of streaming channels.

Tip: Streaming channels from all of the Roku streaming devices associated with your account are synchronized periodically. All of your Roku streaming devices therefore display the same set of channels (subject to compatibility with the device).

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.

10. Press OK to proceed:

11. 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. For each input that has a connected and active device, you can see its picture and hear its sound.

12. Press UP or DOWN to highlight the label you want to associate with the input, and then press OK. If you are not using the input, select Nothing, and the input won’t appear on the Home screen.

13. 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.

Note: If you specify a custom name for an input, voice commands will not reliably switch to that input. Voice commands typically can only switch among inputs that use built-in names, such as “AV,” and “Cable Box,” and “DVR.”

14. 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 HOME

on the remote to go to the Roku TV Home screen.

Store.

Note: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels. Channel availability is subject to change and varies by country. Not all content is available in countries or regions where Roku® products are sold.

Now and then you’ll see a message appear on the panel to the right of the Home screen

Setting up live TV

In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you might want to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to the ANT input. On your Roku TV, you can watch broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices: select the LiveTV tile from the Home screen.

The ﬁrst time you select the LiveTV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Live 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 cable/satellite service. If you don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead remove it from the Home screen as explained in Remove unwanted tiles.

When you set up live 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 or 4. Typically, you’ll only need one of these channels, but both are provided to make setup simpler. You can hide the one you don’t want as explained in Edit live TV channel lineup.

How do I set up the TV tuner?

1. Make sure your antenna (not provided) or TV cable is connected to the TV’s ANT/ CABLE input.

2. On the Home screen, select the Live TV tile. If it is not on your Home screen, go to Settings>TVInputs to add it.

3. Read the simple on-screen instructions, and then select Start ﬁnding channels.

4. If prompted, select your time zone. You’ll only need to do this if the TV can’t ﬁgure out

your time zone from your Internet connection.

Why does the TV need my time zone?

The TV needs to know your time zone so that it can correctly display time information about the program you are currently watching. In most cases, it can get the time zone automatically and skips this step.

5. When prompted, select whether to add analog channels 3 and 4. These channels enable you to connect older set top boxes, VCRs, or game consoles.

6. Wait while your TV scans for live TV stations…

… and then cable TV channels.

Scanning for channels can take several minutes.

Tip: If you use a set-top box to receive cable TV channels (and don’t have your cable connected directly to the TV’s ANT input), you can save time by skipping the cable TV portion of the channel scan.

7. When the channel scans ﬁnish, the TV shows the number of channels it added.

8. Only in connected mode, you have the option of setting up Live TV Pause. Pausing

live TV explains how to set up and use this feature. If you don’t want to set up Live TV

Pause, or if this option is not available to you, select Done to start watching live TV.

Tip: Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure you are receiving all of the latest channels. Broadcasters add and remove channels, move channels to dierent parts of the spectrum, and change the power levels of their channels periodically. Your antenna

reception and picture quality depend on the position of your antenna and on your location relative to the antennas of broadcasters in your area. To repeat the channel scan, use the purple directional pad to highlight the LiveTV tile, press STAR, select Scanforchannels, and then press OK.

You’ll also have to repeat the channel scan if you remove and re-add the LiveTV tile from the Home screen or perform a factory reset.

Now, you’re ready to watch live TV! While you’re watching, try the following tips:

Using your TV

This section provides information on using the day-to-day features of your TV.

Status indicator

Your TV has a single status indicator. It goes on and o and blinks in dierent ways depending on the status of the TV, as shown in the following table:

TV CONDITION STATUS INDICATOR MEANING

Standby mode energy savings

When you turn o your TV, it remains in a higher power mode for a few minutes, after which it goes into a very low power standby mode. If you turn on the TV again before it has entered the very low power mode, it turns on immediately. After the TV goes into the lower power standby mode, it takes a few seconds longer to start up.

Only in connected mode, you can optionally enable FastTVstart. When this option is enabled, your TV starts up almost immediately regardless of how long it has been turned o, but uses somewhat more power in standby mode. Fast TV start also gives you access to some additional features, such as turning on the TV with voice commands and turning o the screen when listening to music. For more information, see Fast TV start.

Getting help

Only in connected mode in the United States, the Roku Tips & Tricks channel has helpful videos about many aspects of using your TV. You can access the channel in two ways:

Select the RokuTips&Tricks channel on the Home screen.

Opting in to Smart TV experience (U.S. only)

Only in connected mode in the United States, the ﬁrst time you select live TV, an HDMI input, or AV input, your TV oers to enable the Smart TV experience. If you decide to enable it at this time, you’re all set to enjoy its recommendations and features.

The Smart TV experience uses automatic content recognition (ACR) and other technology to collect information about what you watch on live TV, and on devices like media players and cable boxes connected to the HDMI or AV inputs. Opting in means that you give permission to analyze the programs you watch for the purpose of making recommendations, as well as showing ads that are more relevant to you.

If you decide not to enable the Smart TV experience at this ﬁrst opportunity, you can enable it later. Or, if you decide you’d rather not use the feature, you can disable it, but be aware that previously collected information is retained and not deleted.

If you decide you want to disable Smart TV experience, follow these steps:

1. From the Home screen menu, go to Settings > Privacy > Smart TV experience.

2. Navigate to the right to highlight Use info from TV inputs.

3. Press OK on the remote to clear the check box.

Disable Auto Notiﬁcations

If you want to keep the Smart TV experience enabled, but you do not want to see notiﬁcations while you are watching programs, you can disable notiﬁcations. To do so, follow these steps:

1. From the Home screen menu, go to Settings > Privacy > Smart TV experience.

2. Navigate to the right to highlight Use info from TV inputs.

3. Press DOWN to highlight Enableautonotiﬁcations.

4. Press OK to clear the check box.

Note: These settings do not aect recommendations for More Ways to Watch that you see in the Smart Guide when watching live TV channels. Those recommendations show up only in the Smart Guide and do not rely on ACR technology.

Pausing live TV

Live TV Pause gives your Roku TV the ability to pause, play, fast forward, and rewind live TV received on the ANT input. You can pause live TV for up to 90 minutes.

Requirements

To use this feature, you need to:

1. Connect your TV to the Internet. If you didn’t connect during Guided Setup, see What

if I didn’t connect my TV?.

2. Provide your own dedicated USB ﬂash drive (thumb drive) with the following minimum speciﬁcations.

16 GB

•

15 Mbps read/write speed

•

•

A USB ﬂash drive (thumb drive) meeting the minimum requirements is highly recommended over an externally-powered hard disk drive. Note that you can use any larger size drive—there is no limit to the maximum size—but using a larger drive does not extend the 90-minute pause time.

Important: After warning you and giving you a chance to cancel Live TV Pause setup, all existing content on your USB drive is erased when you enable this feature.

3. Connect your USB drive to the TV’s USB port.

Important: Some TV models have more than one USB port. You can connect your Live TV Pause USB drive to any port, but make sure that nothing is connected to other USB ports while enabling Live TV Pause. Reconnect other USB devices after you have ﬁnished enabling Live TV Pause.

More Ways to Watch (U.S. only)

Only in connected mode in the United States, More Ways to Watch gives you recommendations about the programs you’re watching on the ANT, HDMI, and AV inputs. You will automatically get these recommendations in the Smart Guide for live TV programs. However, before you can get recommendations for programs you’re watching through the HDMI or AV inputs, you must opt into the Smart TV experience to acknowledge that you want to allow the TV to use automatic content recognition (ACR). See Opting in to Smart TV

experience (U.S. only) for details.

Using More Ways to Watch

Not every program provides recommendations. As you use More Ways to Watch, be aware that you’ll only see suggestions on your TV when all of the following conditions are met:

Your TV is operating in connected mode in the United States.

•

You have enabled SmartTVexperience if you are watching programs through an

•

HDMI or AV input. (If you are watching live TV from the ANT input, this setting does not matter.)

The program you’re watching contains the information needed to identify it. Note that

•

some programs, such as the daily news, typically do not activate More Ways to Watch.

At least one participating streaming channel oers the movie or TV program you are

•

watching, or other episodes, or more programs like the one you are watching.

If all of these conditions are met, you can view the suggestions. More Ways to Watch recommendations appear in two dierent places:

When watching the HDMI and AV inputs, you’ll see a More Ways to Watch notiﬁcation

•

in the lower right corner of the screen for a few seconds unless you have disabled

Enable auto notiﬁcations. Press STAR  to see the list of matching programs.

Note: After this banner disappears, you can restore the More Ways to Watch prompt

by pressing OK.

In the Smart Guide, all programs that meet the criteria for More Ways to Watch display

•

a purple asterisk  next to their titles:

Highlight the program of interest and press STAR  to see recommendations.

Regardless of how you got to this point, the options you’ll see depend on the type of program you’re watching and the available ways there are to watch, so you might see any or all of the following:

Watchfrombeginning – Streaming channels on which the same TV program or movie

•

is available. Generally, this option does not appear on ﬁrst run programs, because streaming content is not available until a later date.

Moreepisodes – Streaming channels where you can ﬁnd other episodes of the TV

•

program you are watching. Does not apply to movies.

Morelikethis –TV programs or movies with a similar theme.

•

Viewfulldescription– Full description of the selected program.

•

Press DOWN to select an option, and then press RIGHT to select the streaming channel you want to watch.

Assuming you’ve already added the channel and completed any required sign-in, More Ways to Watch takes you directly to the program in the streaming channel where you can select and watch the program. Otherwise, it prompts you to add the channel and, if you do, then takes you to the program.

Getting the most from More Ways to Watch

Streaming channels you’ve already installed appear ﬁrst in the list of suggestions.

•

When you select a streaming channel, you leave the program you are currently watching.

•

If you’ve used the Live TV Pause feature to pause the program, your paused program

•

buer is deleted. In other words, you cannot return to a live TV channel and resume watching from where you left o.

Switching TV inputs

Switch TV inputs to access the device connected to that input, for example, a Blu-ray™ player. Switching inputs is as easy as highlighting the input’s tile in the Home screen, and pressing

OK. The video signal on the input, if any, plays on the screen.

Tip: To learn how to add, remove, rename, and rearrange the tiles on your Home screen, see

Customizing your TV.

Your TV automatically detects when you connect a new device to an HDMI input and turn on its power. The input is automatically added to the Home screen if it isn’t already present.

Adjusting audio/video settings

While watching video content on any input, press STAR  to display the Options menu. Press UP or DOWN to highlight an option, and then press LEFT or RIGHT to change the setting. To

learn about each of the audio and video settings, see Adjusting TV settings.

Setting preferred audio language for streaming channels

You can select the preferred language for the audio played by streaming channels. If the selected language is available in the streaming content, the TV plays that language.

To set the preferred audio language:

1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings>Audio>Audiopreferredlanguage.

2. Press RIGHT to highlight one of the languages.

3. Press UP or DOWN to highlight the language you want to use.

4. Press OK.

Note: Many streaming channels have an option to select the language while you are watching a program. The Audiopreferredlanguage setting sets the default for that option.

Playing content from USB storage devices

Only in connected mode, your Home screen has the RokuMediaPlayer tile. Otherwise, the Home screen has the USBMediaPlayer tile. With either player, you can play personal music, video, and photo ﬁles from a personal USB ﬂash drive or hard disk connected to the TV’s USB port.

To use this feature, make sure your media ﬁles are compatible with the Roku/USB Media Player. To see the latest list of supported formats, view Help in the Media Player

. The Roku/ USB Media Player displays supported ﬁle types only, and hides ﬁle types it knows it cannot play.

Note: If you do not see the Roku Media Player on your Home screen, it might have been uninstalled. You can reinstall it from the Roku Channel Store by using the StreamingChannels menu option or the AddChannels shortcut. The USB Media Player in non-connected mode cannot be uninstalled.

For more information about playing back your personal videos, music, and photos, go to the following link on the Roku web site:

go.roku.com/rokumediaplayer

There are many variants of each supported media format. Some variants may not play at all or may have issues or

inconsistencies during playback.

Auto player launch

Only in connected mode, you can set your TV to automatically open the Roku Media Player when you connect a USB drive with a recognizable ﬁle system (such as FAT16/32, NTFS, HFS+ or EXT2/3). To conﬁgure this setting, from the Home screen menu, navigate to

Settings>System>USBmedia. At this point, the following options are available:

Auto-launch – Select Prompt, On, or O, as desired.

•

Prompt – (default) Display a prompt each time a recognized USB drive is

•

connected. The prompt provides options to launch the Roku Media Player as well as to change future auto-play behavior.

On – Always launch the Roku Media Player whenever you connect a recognized

•

USB drive.

O – Never launch the Roku Media Player automatically.

•

Launch channel – Select the app you want to use to play back media ﬁles.

•

Playing content from local network media servers

Only in connected mode, your TV can play personal video, music, and photo ﬁles from a media server on your local network. Media servers include personal computers running media server software such as Plex or Windows Media Player, network ﬁle storage systems that have built-in media server software, and other devices that implement the speciﬁcations of the Digital Living Network Alliance. Some servers do not fully implement the DLNA speciﬁcation but are UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) compatible. The Roku Media Player can connect to them as well.

Some media servers can convert ﬁles into Roku compatible formats. Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected content is not supported.

Setting up a payment method

For Movie Store, TV Store, and other channels that allow you to pay through your linked Roku account, you can enter a payment method directly on your TV. Entering a payment method on your TV means that you don’t need to go to a computer or mobile device to set up a payment method.

To add a payment method:

1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Payment method > Add payment method.

2. Use the on-screen number pad to enter your credit/debit card number, expiration date, CVV number, and ZIP Code or postal code.

Note: If you have already set up a payment method on my.roku.com, that payment method is identiﬁed here in such a way as not to expose any personal data. You can use this screen to change your payment method, if desired.

3. Select Save Card, and then press OK.

To manage your saved payment method and to see other payment methods, log into your account at go.roku.com/pay.

Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room

Hotels, school dorms, conference facilities, and similar locations with public wireless Internet access often require you to interact with a web page to authenticate your access. These types or networks are called restricted public networks. When you select a network of this type, the TV automatically detects that additional information is needed and prompts you through using another wireless device to supply the requested information.

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 network:

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.

Getting your Roku TV on line on a restricted public network

1. Either during Guided Setup or after using the Settings > Network menu to set up a new connection, the TV automatically detects that you are connecting to a restricted network and displays the following prompt:

Tip: Your TV can connect to a restricted network only if Enable ‘Device connect’ is selected in Settings > System > Advanced system settings. (Device connect is enabled by default, but if you have disabled it, the TV cannot complete the connection.)

Note: Device connect is not present if the TV is in non-connected mode.

2. After selecting the correct network, highlight I am at a hotel or college dorm, and then press OK. The TV prompts you to use your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to complete the connection.

3. Use a smartphone, tablet, or wireless-enabled computer to detect wireless networks. In most cases, you can simply open the device’s Wi-Fi Settings or Network Settings screen to start scanning.

Note: The mobile phone, tablet, or computer must be on the same wireless network to which you are connecting the TV.

4. Connect to the network named on your TV screen. The actual network name varies.

Note: The previous step connects your smartphone, tablet, or computer directly to the TV. No connection charges apply and the connection does not impact your device’s data plan.

5. The wireless connection process prompts you for a password. Enter the password as shown on the TV screen. The actual password varies.

6. Start the web browser on your mobile phone, tablet, or computer. When you attempt to open any web page, the restricted connection will prompt you for whatever information it needs. In most cases, you must agree to terms and conditions, provide identifying information, or enter a password, PIN, or room number to proceed. The information requested depends on the organization that controls the wireless connection.

7. After you enter the requested information, the TV automatically proceeds to complete its connection and resumes normal operation.

8. If the TV prompts you to link to your Roku account, use your mobile phone, tablet, or computer to activate your Roku TV.

Roku voice remotes (select models only)

Only on TVs with the Roku voice remotes: The following topics explain how to get the most out of your TV when it includes a Roku Voice Remote or Roku Enhanced Voice Remote.

Re-pairing your Roku voice remote

The Roku voice remotes operate with wireless radio-frequency signals and must be paired with your TV. You initially paired the remote when you set up your TV during Guided Setup. But if your remote loses its pairing with the TV for some reason, you can easily re-pair it using either of the following methods:

1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote.

2. Press and hold down the pairing button for 3 seconds or longer, until the adjacent LED

lights up.

3. Do one of the following:

Turn on the TV using the power button on the TV side or back panel. Pairing occurs

•

as the TV starts up.

Use the Roku mobile app or a dierent remote to navigate to Settings > Remotes &

•

devices > Pair new device > Remote.

Tip: If the remote fails to pair with the TV, try installing new batteries. Also, it’s helpful to hold

the remote within two to three feet of the TV to ensure successful pairing.

Checking the Roku voice remote battery level

You can check the condition of the batteries in your Roku voice remote at any time by navigating to Settings>Remotes & devices, and then pressing OK to select your remote below My paired devices. With your remote selected, navigate right to About > Remote to view its Battery level. The resulting screen displays not only the battery level, but also other information that can be useful when you need technical support with your remote.

Tip: When you ﬁrst turn on the TV, a battery level indicator appears in the upper right corner of the screen for a few seconds.

Finding your Roku Enhanced Voice Remote

Only on TVs with the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote, when your remote has found its way down into the sofa cushions or your dog has hidden it in the corner, you can use the Find Remote feature to ﬁnd out where it’s hiding. This feature has a limited range, and is designed to ﬁnd your Enhanced Voice Remote somewhere in the same room as the TV.

Select Find Remote on the Settings > Remotes & devices > Remote settings menu to see brief instructions on how to activate the Find Remote feature. Note, however, that selecting this option doesn’t actually activate the feature. Here are the complete instructions:

Activate Find Remote

If your TV has a joystick-style control, press to the Left or Right to open the Inputs

•

menu, and then press Right to scroll down to Find Remote.

If your TV has a column of labeled panel buttons, press the INPUT button to open the

•

Inputs menu, and then press the INPUT button again until you highlight Find Remote.

A moment or two after highlighting Find Remote, the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote starts playing your selected Find Remote sound to let you know where it is hiding. The sound automatically stops after a minute, or after you ﬁnd the remote and press any button.

Changing and previewing the Enhanced Voice Remote ﬁnder sound

Only on TVs with the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote, you can customize the sound your remote makes when you use the Find Remote feature. To customize the sound, navigate to Settings > Remotes & devices > Remote settings > Change remote ﬁnder sound. Select the sound you want to use from the available settings.

To preview the sound you have chosen, select Preview remote ﬁnder sound, and then hold

down OK on the remote to play the sound. When you release the OK button, the sound will stop.

Adjusting TV settings

You can adjust most picture and sound settings while you are watching a program by pressing STAR  to open the Options menu. There are some additional picture and sound settings in the Settings menu.

In most cases, the changes you make apply only to the input you are using. Live TV, each HDMI® input, and the AV input have their own settings that the TV remembers when you return to that input. The TV also separately remembers the settings you specify while viewing streaming content.

Settings menu

Use the Settings menu to adjust overall TV settings. Press HOME to go to the Home screen menu, and then navigate to Settings > TV picture settings.

You can adjust the following overall TV picture settings from the Settings screen:

Options menu

The Options menu for each TV input provides many settings for controlling the appearance of the picture and the quality of the audio. To view the Options menu, press STAR  whenever you are watching a TV input or streaming a video (except when you are viewing the program information banner). The Options menu is a panel that appears over the left side of the screen:

Frame rate conversion – Only on select models. Each TV brand uses a dierent name

•

for this option. Adjusts the amount of motion processing applied to the video signal. A higher setting results in more smoothing, but can cause undesirable picture artifacts in certain types of content. Each Picture mode has a dierent default setting.

Film mode – Only on select models. Each TV brand uses a dierent name for this option.

•

When enabled, this feature reduces “judder” that is often present when 24 frame-persecond movies are upscaled to 60Hz TV standards. Film mode is On by default in Movie and HDR Dark picture modes, and O by default in other picture modes.

Blur reduction – Only on select 120Hz models. Each TV brand uses a dierent name for

•

this option. Reduces blur, especially for fast-moving images such as sports.

Black frame insertion – Only on select models that also have the local dimming feature.

•

Each TV brand uses a dierent name for this option. Reduces motion blur caused by the refresh rate of the screen. Enabling this feature inserts black frames between picture frames in a way that improves the clarity of fast moving objects. It provides an improved viewing experience for video games and sporting events, but reduces the brightness of the picture. You can choose settings of Low, Medium, High, or O to achieve the desired picture quality.

Game mode – Only on HDMI® and AV inputs: Controls whether Game mode is enabled.

•

When On, the TV performs less image processing and has less input lag. When O, the TV performs more image processing and has more input lag, which is less desirable for action games.

Reset picture settings – Returns all picture settings for the input’s currently-selected

•

Picturemode to their original values.

Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM)

Only on select models: Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) detects when certain game consoles are connected to an HDMI input, and then automatically conﬁgures the best settings for action games when that input is selected. When ALLM is active, the manual Game mode setting is not available.

Variable refresh rate (VRR)

Only on select models: Variable refresh rate (VRR) allows a compatible game console or computer connected via HDMI to control the refresh rate of the TV. This feature helps to ensure that the TV does not begin to display a video frame until the video source has completely rendered it. The result is smoother image animation with a lower instance of stutter or tearing. Use of this feature requires that:

Variablerefreshrate is turned On in the HDMI settings for the input. This setting is O by

•

default.

The HDMImode is set to Auto or HDMI2.0 in the HDMI settings for the input.

•

Gamemode is enabled.

•

The connected device supports VRR.

•

Tip: To dismiss the Picturesettingsmenu, just wait a few seconds without pressing any buttons. Or press STAR  again to dismiss the menu immediately.

Roku Smart Soundbar (U.S. only)

Only in the United States, you can purchase and connect a Roku Smart Soundbar to the

HDMIARC or HDMIeARC port on any model of Roku TV. When you do, you can put away your Roku Smart Soundbar remote control, because the Soundsettings menu on the TV provides direct access to the soundbar settings. These settings replace the premium sound settings, if any, that might be available when the Roku Smart Soundbar is not connected.

Tip: When you are using the TV in connected mode, it automatically hides the HDMI port to which you connect your Roku Smart Soundbar on the basis that you never will need to worry about accessing it directly. If you want to access the soundbar directly rather than through your Roku TV, you can add the HDMIARC or HDMIeARC input to your Home screen.

To access Roku Smart Soundbar settings, ﬁrst press STAR  to display the Options menu, then select Soundsettings.

Microphone

Your Roku TV does not have a built-in microphone. However streaming channel providers can use the microphone on Roku voice remotes (only on select models) or on your mobile device when the Roku mobile app is running. You can control whether streaming channels have permission to use the microphone.

Note: These settings aect only streaming channel access to the microphone. They do not aect your Roku TV’s Voice Search feature.

Channel microphone access

You can control which streaming channels have permission to use the microphone, giving you control over how the microphone is used by each streaming channel. The default setting is Prompt, so channels will not be able to turn on the microphone without your permission.

To change microphone access settings:

1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.

2. Select Channel microphone access.

3. Choose one of the following settings:

As you browse through the programs, the featured channel’s icon appears in the upper left corner of the screen. Use the purple directional pad to highlight a program, and then press OK to see more information about it.

Once you are viewing a program’s details, press OK to start playing the program. If you’ve already added the channel, you’ll be taken directly to the channel and the program will begin to play. If you have not added the channel, it will be added for you before playing the program.

My Feed

Only in connected mode, use My Feed to ﬁnd out when you can watch movies coming soon, and to get updates on movies, TV programs, and actors that you are following.

Movies Coming Soon (U.S. only)

Only in the United States, My Feed gives you updates on your list of movies that are coming soon to theaters. With My Feed, you’ll know when your favorite movie is ready to stream, the channels it is on, and how much it will cost.

Select the movies you want to follow by going to My Feed > Movies Coming Soon. You’ll then see a list of newly released movies that are not yet available on Roku streaming devices. Select a movie, and then select Follow this movie on Roku. When you return to the main My Feed screen, you’ll see banners for each of your newly-followed movies along with banners for movies and TV programs you’re already following.

Movies, TV programs, and people

In addition to following movies coming soon, you can follow any movie, TV program, or actor across top streaming channels. To follow a program, search to ﬁnd the movie, TV program, or name that you want to follow, and then select Followthismovie/TV show/persononRoku. For more information, see Searching for something to watch.

Note: The TV takes a bit of time to update your newly-followed programs. Until it ﬁnds at least one channel oering the movie, the content banner in My Feed shows Check back later for updates.

My Feed alerts you any time a movie or TV program you are following becomes available on another channel and whenever its price changes. A number in parentheses next to My Feed in the Home screen menu means that My Feed has updated information that you haven’t viewed yet. For example, if three of your followed programs have updates, you’ll see My Feed (3).

Note: When a movie or TV program you are following becomes available, the streaming channel oering the movie might require that you subscribe or pay a fee to view it.

Searching for something to watch

Searching for movies and programs across streaming channels and live TV is one of the unique features of your Roku TV. Within a single search operation, you can search by:

Movie name

•

TV program name

•

Actor or director name

•

Streaming channel name

•

Interactive game name

•

Popular quotes, such as “May the Force be with you.”

•

Genre, including the special genres, “free” and “4K.”

•

Note: Roku Search is only available if your TV is operating in connected mode and linked to a Roku account. Roku Search doesn’t search across all streaming channels, but searches across lots of popular streaming channels. The actual channels it searches vary by locale.

How do I search?

You can search in several dierent ways:

By using an on-screen keyboard that you navigate using the purple directional pad on

•

your remote By typing on the Roku mobile app on your phone or tablet

•

By speaking search phrases in English or Spanish using a Roku voice remote, the Roku

•

mobile app, Alexa, or Google Home Assistant.

For more information about Voice Search, go to go.roku.com/voicesearch

Keyboard search using the remote

1. Select Search on the Home screen menu.

2. Use the purple directional pad to navigate the on-screen keyboard, entering a few

characters of the search term.

Each additional character you enter narrows down the search, making the search results more relevant. You’ll often see the results you are seeking after entering only a few letters.

3. When you see the program you are searching for, press RIGHT to highlight it. Continue pressing RIGHT to see more details about how to watch the program.

Voice Search from a Roku voice remote

Only with models that have a Roku Voice Remote or Roku Enhanced Voice Remote:

1. Press and hold either VOICE D or SEARCH E, depending on your remote.

Hint: Tap the button to see on-screen tips about searching. Repeat to see a dierent

set of tips.

2. While holding down the button, say the name of a movie, TV program, actor, director, or genre (including the special genres, “free” and “4K”). Or say, for example, “What movie is this from ‘May the Force be with you’,” to search for a movie based on a popular quote. You also can search for news programs. Say things like, “Show the news,” “Play news,” or “Play news on newsy.”

Note: You can use either English or Spanish for voice searches, according to the TV language you set in Settings>System>Language.

The TV lists the results of your search across many streaming channels and, only in the United States, live TV channels.

3. Press RIGHT to move the highlight into the list of search results.

4. Press UP or DOWN to scroll through the list of search results to highlight the item you

want to view.

Searching from the Roku mobile app

Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make searching even faster. Use your mobile device’s keypad to type more quickly and easily than with the on-screen keyboard on your TV. Or, search by touching the Voice Search icon and saying the name of the movie, TV program, actor, director, genre, streaming channel, or game.

When you use the Roku mobile app to search, search results are shown on your mobile device instead of on the TV screen. When you make a selection from the search results, the TV starts playing the selected program.

For more information, see Roku mobile app.

Searching with Google Assistant

Use your Google Home, Google Pixel phone, or the Google Home mobile app to search for programs:

1. Link your Roku account to your Google account using the Google Home mobile app on your iOS or Android device.

2. Start your command with “Hey Google” or “OK Google,” and follow the command with “on Roku.” Some examples:

“Hey Google, show me documentaries on Roku.”

•

“OK Google, show me comedies on Roku.”

•

Note: You also can issue commands to control your Roku TV. And, if you have enabled FastTVStart on your TV, you can turn on your TV by saying, “OK Google, turn on Roku.”

For more information about setting up and using Google Assistant with your Roku Tv in the United States, see https://support.roku.com/article/360009649613-how-do-i-control-my-

roku-streaming-device-with-the-google-assistant-.

1 Voice features support English and Spanish languages when the corresponding TV language is selected.

Searching with Amazon Alexa

Use your Amazon Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Echo Show, or the Amazon Alexa mobile app to search for programs:

1. Link your Roku account to your Amazon account using the Amazon Alexa app on your iOS or Android device.

2. Start your command with “Alexa,” and follow the command with “on Roku.” Some examples:

“Alexa, turn up the volume on Roku.”

•

“Alexa, show me documentaries on Roku.”

•

Note: You also can issue commands to control your Roku TV. And, if you have enabled

Fast TV Start on your TV, you can turn on your TV by saying, “Alexa, turn on Roku.”

For more information about setting up and using Google Assistant with your Roku TV in the United States, see https://support.roku.com/article/360017961074-how-do-i-use-amazon-

alexa-with-my-roku-streaming-device-.

Direct-to-playback search results

With direct-to-playback, voice search results jump directly to and start playing the program whenever your search command can be uniquely identiﬁed and the requested content is available at no additional cost to you.

Searching for free content

You’ll discover an almost endless list of content through your Roku TV, and much of it is free. You can easily ﬁnd free content by including the word “free” in your search. For example:

RokuVoiceRemoteorRokumobileapp—Say, “Show me free comedies” or “Show me

•

free romance,” or simply, “Show me free shows.”

GoogleHome,GooglePixelphone,ortheGoogleHomemobileapp—Say “OK Google,

•

show me free programs on Roku,” or “Hey Google, show me free documentaries on Roku.”

AmazonAlexa—Say “Alexa, show me free miniseries on Roku” or “Alexa, show me free

•

dramas on Roku.”

is a high conﬁdence of match, the content is free or you are already subscribed, and the channel is already added to your Home screen.

I searched for a program. Now what?

Now that you’ve highlighted the program, movie, actor, game, or streaming channel you were looking for, press RIGHT.

If your search result was an actor, director, or other item that does not represent a single item of content, you’ll see another list to narrow down your search. Only in the United States, if you do a Roku Voice search, the TV shows visual search results rather than a list of text results. In all cases, use the purple directional pad to ﬁnd the program you want to watch.

If your search result was a game or a streaming channel, you will see detailed information, images, and available actions, such as a list of results and the cost, if any, of using the item or channel.

Note: Some channels may require a paid subscription.

Follow on Roku

Rather than watch the program you found in Search, you can add it to My Feed and wait until it’s available on a particular streaming channel or available at a better price. From the search results screen, select Follow on Roku. Then go to My Feed periodically to check for updates to each of your followed movies, TV programs, or people. For more information, see My Feed.

Recent Searches

The next time you use Search from the Home screen menu, the Search screen displays a list of recent search selections in place of the search instructions.

Using the recent search selections list makes it easy to quickly get to a previously found item, for example, to ﬁnd another movie with the same actor, or another TV program in the same series.

Roku Zones (U.S. only)

Only in the United States, Roku Zones are search results grouped within popular genres, for example, “action,” “comedy,” and “horror." To see Roku Zones in search results, search for a genre name and look for the word Zone added to the end of a search result. Or, to see all Roku Zones, search for “zone” and then scroll down in the results until you pass other programs beginning with “zone.”

When you open a Roku Zone, the results are organized into browsable rows such as “New Releases,” “Included With Subscription,” “Free,” “Rent / Buy,” “Rent for $3 or less,” “Classic Movies & TV Shows,” and others. If you’re searching on a 4K Roku TV, results also include an “Available in 4k” row.

You can select a title to view channel availability and pricing information, and then select the channel to watch. To go back without making a selection, press BACK
