Did you notice? Your Roku 2 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 7.1 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 with audio.
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 A/V port on the back of your Roku player.
What to do Step 2
Power up key components
In this step, we’ll make sure all systems are GO!
First, power your Roku remote by inserting the included batteries:
• Turn the remote control over and locate the rectangular battery door on the
rear of the unit.
• Press the latch at the top of the battery door down while simultaneously
removing the battery door.
• Insert each battery negative (-) side first, pushing it into the coil and then into
the compartment. Do NOT insert batteries positive (+) side first. Place the
battery door back over the compartment and press it gently down until the
latch snaps securely into place.
Please note: Always replace dead batteries with two brand-new batteries
from the same manufacturer. Never use damaged batteries. If your remote
gets warm/hot during use, discontinue use and contact Roku Customer
Support immediately at support.roku.ca.
What to do Step 2 (continued)
Next, power on your Roku player by connecting it to a wall outlet using the
included power adapter, like this:
Finally, power on your TV and look for a Roku message to fill the screen.
Blank screen? If your TV does not display a Roku screen, make sure your TV
input matches the physical connection used to connect your Roku player. Press
the Input button (also called Source) on your TV or TV remote to cycle through
the various video inputs available until you see a Roku screen.
Step 3
Configure your network
Step 3 establishes your network connection and brings out your inner geek.
You can do it!
Wireless: The Roku player will automatically detect wireless networks in your area,
so grab that Roku remote and jump right into Guided Setup. At wireless set up,
have your network name & password ready and do the following:
• Select your network from the list of available networks.
• Enter your network password, if you use one. Remember, network passwords
are case sensitive.
DOs and DON’Ts on where to place your Roku player:
• DO place your player within range of your wireless network.
• DON’T place your player in an enclosed cabinet; it may interfere with
the wireless signal.
• DON’T place anything on top of your player; it may cause the player
to overheat.
