Packaging

• The safest way to transport your item is in the original box/packaging - please save your packaging for this.
• You will need the original box/packaging in the event of warranty/service repair or support. We are unable to carry out warranty/service if you are unable to package the item correctly.

Important information regarding use of video games, computers, captions or other fixed image displays

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD/LED panel, also known as "screen burn".

This "shadow image" can appear in the background during normal viewing. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:

1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum suitable viewing level.
2. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.

3. Turn the power off when not in use.
   Examples of images that are more likely to cause "screen burn" are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):

4. TV channel logos: e.g. shopping channel logos and pricing displays - especially if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.

- Time displays.

- Teletext: Do not view a static page for a long period of time

• TV/DVD menus: e.g. listings of DVD disc content.

- Pause mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. when watching DVDs or videos.

Important: Once 'shadow image/screen burn' occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under warranty.

Note: Please ensure that children do not climb on the TV set. Note: When handling the set do not grip the LCD Panel. Note: Do not pull the set when mounted on a bracket. If using a moveable bracket, adjust via the bracket and not the set.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is urging people to take care with flat-screen televisions. RoSPA stated in 2010 that "Toddlers are particularly at risk of pulling flat-screen televisions on to themselves. They are unsteady on their feet and are attracted by colourful television images."

The risk is increased as televisions become lighter.

Wall mounting & Viewing Angle

IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling where there could be any electrical wires, water or gas pipes.

To determine your current Roku TV software version, go to Settings > System > About after you complete Guided Set-up. You can download an updated User Guide for the latest software version from the Roku TV web site at: go.roku.com/tvmanual

Activation

After the TV restarts, it prompts you through activation. Note that you may need to supply your email address to activate your TV.

1. To begin the activation process, enter your email address on the TV when prompted.

2. To complete the activation process, use a computer, tablet or smartphone with an Internet connection to receive and acknowledge the email from Roku, and then follow the instructions on that device to link to a new or existing Roku account.

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 Store and billing service.
• Streaming content providers know that it's OK to send content you request to your Roku TV.
• Roku can automatically update your TV with the latest features.

You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment from 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. Providing payment information during signup makes renting, purchasing and subscribing to entertainment from the Roku 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.

Note: Roku doesn't charge for activation support – beware of scams.

Roku accounts are free and while a valid credit card number is not required to create a Roku account, saving your credit card information makes renting and purchasing entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and convenient.

Once connected to your account, your TV will automatically update with the latest software, and you can start streaming immediately.

Connect your devices

Next, Guided Set-up 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.

Then highlight Manage subscription and press OK. Select Cancel subscription and then follow the instructions to confirm your cancellation.

SETTING UP LIVE TV

In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you might want to watch broadcast channels from an aerial connected to the RF IN input. On your Roku TV, you can watch broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. Select the Live TV input on the Home screen.

The first time you select the Live TV input, you must set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your live TV channel list.

How do I set up the TV tuner?

1. Make sure that your aerial (not provided) is connected to the TV's RF IN input.
2. On the Home screen, select the Live TV input. 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 Scan for channels.

Live TV If you have already connected a TV aerial to this TV, then the system can search for all available channels. This may take up to 5 minutes. Scan for channels Cancel

1. Wait while your TV scans for live TV stations...

Scanning for channels can take several minutes. If the TV detects that you can receive channels from multiple regions, this screen will appear:

Region selection You can receive regional variants of one or more channels. Please select a preferred region. Region Region Region Region

1. Highlight a region, and then press OK to continue. If the TV detects that you can receive channels from multiple subregions within your selected region, this screen will appear:

Region selection You can receive regional variants of one or more channels. Please select a preferred sub-region. Sub-region Sub-region Sub-region Sub-region

1. Highlight a subregion, and then press OK to continue. When the channel scan finishes, the TV programmes the number of channels it added.

49 channels found You can now watch live TV broadcasts. Note, go to Settings to edit your channel lineup and hide the channels you don't want to see. Set up Live TV Pause Done Search for channels again

1. At this point, you can do any of the following:

2. Select Done to start watching TV.

3. Select Scan for channels to repeat the entire channel scan. This option deletes all existing channels and the region and subregion selections, if applicable.
4. Select Rescan for channels to repeat the channel scan. This option deletes all existing channels, but retains your previous region and subregion selections, if applicable.
5. Only on certain models, select Set up Live TV Pause. You can also do this later. The topic Pausing live TV explains how to set up and use this feature.

Tip: Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure that you are receiving all of the latest channels. Broadcasters add and remove channels, move channels to different parts of the spectrum and change the power levels of their channels periodically. Your TV reception and picture quality depend on the position of your aerial and on your location relative to the transmitters of broadcasters in your area.

Note: You'll have to repeat the channel scan if you remove and re-add the Live TV input on the Home screen or perform a factory reset. To repeat the channel scan, go to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Scan for channels > Start finding channels.

Scanning for individual channels

After performing a complete channel scan, you can perform a manual channel scan at any time; for example, to discover and add new channels or channels from a different region or subregion.

To manually scan for channels:

1. From the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > TV Inputs > Live TV > Manual scan for channels.
2. Use the purple directional pad to highlight a channel multiplex and its assigned frequency in the list, and then press OK to scan that channel multiplex.
3. Wait, while the selected multiplex is scanned for individual channels.
4. Press OK to confirm and return to the list of channel multiplexes.
5. Repeat these steps as needed to scan for additional channels.

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

• Press GUIDE to display the programme guide, and then use the directional pad to navigate through the guide. Press CH- or REWIND ◀ / CH+ or FAST FWD ▶to jump through the guide a page at a time.

Pausing live TV

Only on certain models, Live TV Pause gives your Roku TV the ability to pause, play, fast forward and rewind broadcast TV. You can pause TV for up to 90 minutes.

Requirements

To use this feature, you need to:

1. Connect your TV to a Roku account. If you didn't connect during Guided Setup, see Connecting your TV.
2. Provide your own USB flash drive (thumb drive) with the following minimum specifications.

• 16 GB
• 15 Mbps read/write speed
- USB 2.0 compliant

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 set-up, all existing content on your USB drive is erased when you enable this feature.

1. 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.

1. Enable Live TV Pause, as explained in the following topic.

Enabling Live TV Pause

You can start setting up Live TV Pause in any of the following ways:

• After completing a channel scan, select Set up Live TV Pause from the available options.
- Press PLAY/PAUSE ▶ on the Roku remote while watching a live TV channel.
- Highlight the Live TV input on the Home screen, press *STAR, and then select Enable Live TV Pause.

After starting set-up of Live TV Pause in any of these ways, the TV prompts you through the steps needed to enable this feature. Set-up takes only a few moments.

Note: Use of a USB hub is not supported.

Using Live TV Pause

If you have used the Roku remote to watch streaming channels, using Live TV Pause should be very familiar to you.

• While watching a TV programme, press PLAY/PAUSE to pause or play the content. After the TV programme has been paused for 90 minutes, the TV resumes playing from the point in the programme where you paused it.
• After watching a channel for a while, press REWIND ◀ to jump back to the point where you first started watching the channel; up to 90 minutes.
• After pausing or rewinding, press FAST FWD ▶ to jump ahead to the point where you are once again watching the live TV programme.
• Press FAST FWD ▶ or REWIND ◀ repeatedly to cycle through 1x, 2x and 3x skip speeds. Press ➕ REPLAY to play back the last several seconds of the programme.
• When the programme is paused, press LEFT or RIGHT to move backwards or forwards through the programme; approximately 10 seconds per press. Small frames appear across the screen to identify your location in the programme.

Whenever you use any of the Live TV Pause features, the TV momentarily displays a progress bar:

Collage of five video thumbnails showing a person drinking from a bottle, with no visible text or symbols in the main visual elements.

1. Time at the current playback position.
2. Current playback position.
3. Extent of pause time, representing the amount of time this channel has been buffered, up to 90 minutes.
4. 90-minute mark, representing the maximum extent of pause time.
5. Current time.

The progress bar also displays tick marks at each half hour point, to help you locate the boundaries of where one programme ends and a new one begins.

Notes about Live TV Pause

• You can use Live TV Pause only with broadcast channels received through the TV's RF IN input.
• Changing channels erases and restarts the Live TV Pause buffer.
• Returning to the Home screen, selecting another input or turning off the TV erases and resets the Live TV Pause buffer.
• Disconnecting the USB drive erases the Live TV Pause buffer.

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

Auto-detecting devices

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 TV settings menu. Press UP or DOWN to highlight an option, and then press LEFT or RIGHT to change the setting.

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.

Control your TV with commands like "switch to game console" or "watch channel seven". Use the Roku mobile app or a compatible smart speaker to speak commands. When using a smart speaker, add "on my Roku" or, for example, "on my bedroom Roku" to the end of the command.

To learn what commands to use, watch for hints that appear at appropriate times. For example, if you are in the TV settings menu with the Sleep timer command highlighted, a hint might appear explaining how to use a Roku Voice command to set the sleep timer. You can use a Roku Voice command at any time, without first calling up a menu.

• See what's on TV. Say "Show Guide".
- Jump to a specific channel. Say "Go to seven" to open Live TV on channel 7. Or say, "Sky News". If there are multiple sources of a channel, you'll see a panel where you can choose the one you want.
- Launch streaming channels, switch inputs or change live TV channels. Say, "Go to Netflix" to open Netflix.
- Set sleep timers. For example, say "Turn the TV off in 30 minutes" or "Go to sleep at twenty-two hundred".
- Only on 4K TVs, say "Show me 4K films" to see a list of 4K films available across participating streaming channels.
- Use Roku Voice to make entries in a variety of on-screen keyboards. Keyboards that support voice entry have a microphone icon next to the input field. You can say letters, characters and numbers for an easy way to enter the required information. The TV displays helpful hints at appropriate times to provide guidance.
- Use voice commands to turn the display off (for enjoying streaming music), turn captions on or off and to replay the last few seconds of a film or TV programme.
- Control Roku Media Player to play your personal music and show films and photos. Say commands like, "Play classic rock on Roku Media Player", "Skip ahead 20 seconds" or "Play the next song".

SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING TO WATCH

Searching for films and programmes across many popular streaming channels is one of the unique features of your Roku TV.

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

Searching from the Roku mobile app

Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible mobile phone 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 VOICE and saying the name of the film, TV programme, 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 programme.

Searching with Google Assistant

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

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".

Searching with Amazon Alexa

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

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".

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 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 programmes on Roku" or "Hey Google, show me free documentaries on Roku".
• Amazon Alexa – Say "Alexa, show me free mini series on Roku" or "Alexa, show me free dramas on Roku".

USING THE ROKU STORE

From the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Streaming Channels option to go to the Roku Store, where you can select new free and subscription based streaming content.

When you find an item you want to add or learn more about, highlight it and press OK to display more details.

• If the content is free, you can select it to start watching it immediately.
• If there is a one-time or recurring fee associated with using the content, you must agree to the terms and conditions, accept the fee and enter your Roku Account PIN to authorise these charges.
• If you already have a subscription to the content – for example, you already subscribe to Netflix or you receive HBO through a cable TV provider – you must complete a different, simple authorisation step to watch it on your Roku TV.

Content availability and pricing are subject to change. Charges may apply to your selection.

Note: If you don't remember your PIN, or if you want to change whether you need to use a PIN to make purchases on your Roku account, see Roku Account PIN.

CUSTOMISING YOUR TV

There are several things you can do to personalise your TV.

Add TV inputs to your Home screen

As you use your TV, you might find that you need to add a TV input that you did not add during Guided Set-up. To add a TV input:

1. From the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. Notice that the list of inputs is divided into two sections: Inputs being used and Inputs not used.
2. Press UP or DOWN to highlight an input in the Inputs not used section of the list.
3. Press RIGHT to move the highlight to Set up input.
4. Press OK to add the input.
5. Press ⬆ HOME to return to the Home screen. Notice that the input has been added to the top of the Home screen. If you want to move the input to a different position in the grid, see Rearrange inputs and channels.

Add streaming channels to your Home screen

You can add streaming channels by searching in the Roku Store.

Streaming channels that you add appear at the bottom of the Home screen. If you want to move a channel to a different position, see Rearrange inputs and channels.

Hint: If you have multiple Roku devices, they all show the same set of streaming channels after their next daily update, unless the channel is not compatible with the device. So don't be surprised when you add a channel to your Roku TV and then see it the next day on another of your Roku streaming devices.

Rename inputs

When you connect and power on an HDMI device, your TV identifies it, automatically renames the input and changes its icon to suit the device.

For other inputs, and for inputs whose automatic naming you do not like, you can change the name and icon.

To select a different name and icon for an input, you can either:

- Highlight the input on the Home screen, and then press *STAR to display a list of options. From the list of options, select Rename input. Then select a new name and icon.

Or

- From the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs screen, select the input you want to rename, select Rename, and then select a new name and icon from the provided list.

Remove unwanted inputs and channels

If you never use a TV input or if you don't like the streaming channel you added from the Roku Store, you can remove them from your Home screen.

Note: Be aware that if you remove the Live TV input deletes your channel list, so you'll have to scan for channels again if you later re-add the input. See Setting up live TV for details.

• To remove any item, highlight it on the Home screen, and then press STAR to display a list of options. From the list of options, select Remove input. In the screen that follows, confirm you want to remove the input.
• Alternatively, to remove a TV input, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs screen, select the input you want to remove, and then select Remove > Confirm. Then press ⏻ HOME to return to the Home screen.

Rearrange inputs and channels

Adding a TV input adds it at the top of the Home screen. Adding a streaming channel adds it at the bottom of the Home screen.

You can easily rearrange the order of the items on the Home screen to suit your viewing preferences. For example, you might want Live TV to be the first item in your Home screen. But if you mostly watch one streaming channel, you might want it to be the first one on your Home screen.

1. On the Home screen, highlight one of the items you want to move.

2. Press *STAR to display a list of options for the item you selected.

3. Select Move input or Move channel. The list of options closes and the highlighted item shows arrows indicating how it can be moved.

Roku TV Game console Live TV HDMI 2 Get the Roku mobile app

1. Use the purple directional pad to move the highlighted item to its new position.

2. Press OK to lock the item into its new position.

3. Repeat these steps to move other items until you have arranged your Home screen to your liking.

Edit live TV channel line-up

When you set up the TV tuner, the TV adds all the broadcast channels with good signals that it can detect in your area. It's likely that you now have more channels than you want in your channel list.

To edit the channel line-up, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Edit channel line-up. You'll see a screen listing all of your channels.

Adjacent to the list of channels is a miniature TV screen playing the highlighted channel's picture and sound.

Standby LED On/Off

Normally, the status indicator is lit whenever the TV is in standby mode. If you prefer the status indicator not to be lit in standby mode, you can turn it off. To do so, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > System > Power > Standby LED, and then select Off.

After making this change, the status indicator still performs all other indication functions.

Fast TV Start

You can enable Fast TV Start, which lets you start watching your TV almost instantly after turning it on. Fast TV Start also enables other convenient features, such as the ability to listen to certain music channels with the TV screen off, and the convenience of being able to turn on and control your TV using voice commands.

To enable Fast TV Start, on the Home screen, navigate to Settings > System> Power> Fast TV Start and select On.

Be aware that enabling Fast TV Start makes your TV use somewhat more power when it is in standby mode.

Configure accessibility

Accessibility settings enable users with a vision or hearing impairment to use the TV more effectively. Accessibility settings are located under Settings > Accessibility.

Audio description

Use the Audio description settings to select whether to hear description of the nondialogue action in a programme, and to set the volume relative to the TV volume.

You can choose from among the following options:

• Off – No audio description.
• Low – Audio description at a low relative volume.
• Medium – Audio description at a medium relative volume.
• High – Audio description at a high relative volume.

Captions mode

The Captions mode settings specify when captions appear. Change caption settings from the Home Screen Menu by selecting Settings > Accessibility > Captions mode.

You can choose among the following options:

• Off – No captions appear.
• On always – Captions appear whenever they are available from the programme source.
• On replay – Captions appear only when you use the replay feature, and only when you are watching a streaming programme that supports instant replay, watching a video through Roku Media Player or watching a TV channel after enabling Live TV Pause.
• On mute – Captions appear only when the TV is muted.

Tip: You can also change the captions mode while watching a programme. Press* STAR to display the TV settings menu, and then select Accessibility. However, note that some streaming channels require you to enable captions through a setting within their channel even though you have turned on captions elsewhere.

Note: Once enabled, the selected captions mode applies to all inputs that support captions, and remains enabled until you turn it off.

Captions preferred language

Use the Captions preferred language to select the language in which you want captions to appear, when that language is available in the programme you are watching. If your preferred language is not available, then captions revert to the default language for the programme, which usually is English.

Highlight the language you prefer, and then press OK to select it.

Hard of hearing

For programmes that display captions, the Hard of hearing setting enables description of non-dialogue audio within the captions, helping those with hearing impairment to enjoy the programme.

Access the hard of hearing setting from the Home Screen Menu by selecting Settings > Accessibility > Hard of hearing. Choose On or Off.

Screen reader settings

Screen reader settings help users who are blind or visually impaired to configure the text-to-speech reader, enabling them to operate their TV more easily. The screen reader uses voice prompts that speak volume and channel changes, menu options and setting changes. Access screen reader settings from the Home Screen Menu by navigating to Settings > Accessibility, and then set the various options as desired in the Screen reader section.

Customise the Home screen

If you prefer to not see certain features on the Home screen, you can hide them. From the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > Home screen, and then press RIGHT.

Select either Hide or Show for each of the available options.

Note: The items you can hide or show vary by locale and might change over time.

MORE SETTINGS

This section describes the features and settings of the TV that were not covered in the other parts of this guide.

Network settings

If needed, you can change your network settings at any time. For example, if you change the name of your wireless network (its SSID) or its password, you will need to change your TV's settings so that it can continue to connect.

To change network settings, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > Network, and then press RIGHT. At this point, you can choose from among the following options:

• About – Lists important information about your current network connection, such as status, connection type, IP addresses and MAC address. This information is often useful when contacting customer support with connection issues.

• Set up connection – Select a network connection type, and then select the option to set up a new connection. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the network connection. For help with each of the steps, see Network connection.
• Bandwidth saver – Enable or disable this feature as appropriate. If On, your TV prompts you to stop streaming if you haven't used the remote control within the past four hours. If you do not respond, streaming stops to save your data allocation and increase the network bandwidth available to other devices in your home. Change to Off to disable the automatic bandwidth saving feature.

Time settings

You can change time settings to suit your preferences. You can find the following settings by navigating from the Home Screen Menu to Settings > System > Time:

• Sleep timer – Set a time delay after which the TV will automatically shut off. This setting reflects the setting you can make in the TV settings menu from any TV input, as explained in TV settings menu.
  Note: The sleep timer setting is not input specific, and also can be set by using the Sleep timer shortcut on the Home screen.
• Time zone – Correct time zone information is needed to correctly display programme data. Choose whether to set the time zone automatically or manually, and if set manually, select your current time zone. Usually, a TV connected to the Internet can discover its own time zone automatically, but sometimes a TV that is not connected to the Internet cannot and so must be set manually. Initially, this setting is made when you set up the TV tuner, as explained in Setting up live TV.
• Clock format – Choose whether to display time in a 12-hour or 24-hour format, or to turn off time display.

Scan again for live TV channels

There will be times when you need to create a new channel list. For example, you:

• Reposition your TV aerial
• Move to a different city with different channels

Whenever you need to update your TV channel list, you can repeat the channel scan.

To repeat the channel scan, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Scan for channels. Then choose one of the following:

• Scan for channels – Erases your current channel list and region/subregion selections, if applicable. Use this option if you move to a new location with different channels.

Home theatre configuration

Your TV has several features that make it an ideal TV for a home theatre. But you might not notice them because they remain in the background until you decide to use them.

Controlling audio output

You can control how your TV outputs sound by navigating to Settings > Audio > Audio output. Choose from the following options:

• Auto – Let the TV decide the best way to output audio. It enables the S/PDIF optical port as well as either HDMI® ARC/eARC or the built-in TV speakers.
• ARC (HDMI n) – Always output audio to the indicated HDMI® ARC or eARC port (depending on model). Turn off the built-in TV speakers. The audio return channel (ARC) enables the TV to send Dolby Audio™ or

DTS audio content back to a home theatre receiver or Roku Streambar™ that is also sending an audio and video signal into the TV. Using HDMI® ARC or eARC reduces the number of cables needed and controls the volume and mute state of the receiver while watching TV.

• TV speakers – Always output audio to the built-in TV speakers.
• Optical – Always output audio to the S/PDIF optical port. Turn off the built-in TV speakers.

Regardless of which setting you choose, your TV automatically mutes the active audio output when you do either of the following:

• Plug headphones into the headphone jack on the TV.
• Turn on wireless private listening in the Roku mobile app.

Adjusting audio delay

Soundbars, receivers and other custom audio set-ups can introduce delays that cause the sound to be out of sync with the picture. To correct this issue, you can use a feature of the Roku mobile app to analyse the delay through your mobile phone camera and microphone.

In the Roku mobile app1 Remote screen, touch Settings, and then select Adjust audio delay. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the audio delay adjustment. Your Roku TV stores the delay values and uses them whenever you play content through the connected audio device.

Turning off the TV screen while listening to music

While listening to music or other audio-only content on your TV, you might want to turn off the TV screen.

To turn off the TV screen:

1. Press *STAR to display the TV settings menu.
2. Press DOWN to highlight Turn off display.
3. Press OK.

Factory reset everything

A full factory reset returns the TV's settings to their original state and removes all personally identifiable information from the TV. When finished, you must repeat Guided Set-up, reconnecting to the Internet, relinking your Roku account, and reloading any streaming channels. You also must repeat live TV set-up and input configuration.

Factory reset is the recommended choice if you want to transfer the TV to another owner, and it is the only choice if you want to switch from Shop mode to Home mode (if you inadvertently selected Shop mode during Guided Set-up).

To perform a factory reset, navigate to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset, and then highlight Factory reset everything. Read the information on the screen to make sure that you understand what this reset operation does.

To proceed with the full factory reset, use the on-screen number pad to enter the code displayed on the screen, and then select OK to proceed.

When the factory reset operation completes, the TV restarts and displays the first Guided Set-up screen.

What if I can't access the Factory Reset option?

It is possible for your TV to get into a state where you cannot access the various menus, including the menu option that lets you perform a factory reset operation. If that happens, you can force the TV to reset by following these steps.

1. Using a straightened paper clip or ball-point pen, press and hold the recessed RESET button on the TV connector panel.
2. Continue to hold the RESET button for approximately 12 seconds. When the reset cycle completes, the status indicator comes on dim.
3. Release the RESET button. The TV is now powered off.
4. Turn on the TV and proceed through Guided Set-up. See Guided Set-up.

Connecting your TV

If you went through Guided Set-up and chose Connect to the Internet later, no worries. Your Roku TV makes it easy to connect whenever you're ready. As you move around the Home screen, you'll see several places where you can start the connection process. For example:

• Now and then you'll see a message appear on the panel to the right of the Home screen offering a Connect Now option. You can highlight and select the Connect Now option to get started.
• Use the Connect and activate now option. From the Home Screen Menu, select Settings, then Network, and then Connect and activate now.
• If you want to start over from the beginning, do a Factory reset, and then go through Guided Set-up again. This time, select your home network when prompted.
