feature you’ll rarely, if ever, use).

DID YOU NOTICE? Your Roku player has no on/o switch. It’s simpler that

way and draws very little power—less than a nightlight! Keep it plugged in so
that it can download the latest software updates automatically.

WHAT TO DO STEP 1

Ready for the step-by-step? We’ve only got four…

CONNECT YOUR PLAYER

Connect your Roku player to your TV in one of two ways:

HIGH DEFINITION: If you have an HDTV and want the best picture quality, use an

HDMI cable (not included) to make the connection depicted in the diagram below:

• Connect one end to the HDMI port on the back of your Roku player.

• Connect the other end to an open HDMI port on your TV.

DID YOU KNOW? Because HDMI outputs digital video and audio, you don’t

need a separate audio cable. HDMI also supports 5.1 surround sound (where
available). GOT A RECEIVER? You can also use HDMI to route video and audio
directly through your receiver if it supports HDMI video pass-through.

WHAT TO DO STEP 1 (CONTINUED)

STANDARD DEFINITION: If you have a standard-definition TV, do not have an

HDMI cable or do not have a free HDMI port on your TV, use the included A/V
cable to make the connection depicted in the diagram below:

• Connect one end to the composite video and analog audio ports on the back

of your TV (look for Video IN, then match the Yellow/Red/White ports).

• Connect the other end to the back of your Roku player. Just match the colors

and you’re good to go!
