FAQ 118

Welcome

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Roku TV™! Discover the joy of endless entertainment. After it's been set up, you'll be able to access a world of streaming entertainment that may include paid subscription channels and free channels.

Important: When you connect your TV to the Internet and link it to a Roku® account, your TV receives automatic updates from time to time, enabling new content and features. This edition of the User Guide describes Roku TV version 12.0. To determine the current version of your Roku TV, go to Settings > System > About after you complete Guided Set-up. Note also that certain features of the TV might change from time to time independently of Roku TV updates.

The new standard in Smart TVs

Welcome to TV like you've probably never seen before – a home screen that you can personalise with your favourite devices and streaming channels. Choose from hundreds of thousands of films and TV episodes, plus content genres such as music, sports, kids, family, international and much more. You should never run out of things to watch.

Note: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channel content. Channel availability is subject to change and varies by country.

Connecting brings out your TV's full potential!

Connecting to a new or existing Roku account is free. It's easy, and unlocks a world of entertainment. All you need is a network connection. Stream a massive selection of free, live and premium TV.

Make any night a movie night

Thousands of films to choose from, across all major streaming film channels ^1 .

Check out The Roku Channel

Use The Roku Channel as your new home page for an ever-growing assortment of free on-demand and streaming films, programmes, live news and kids' TV.

Get in the groove

Stream endless hours of music from free and subscription-based channels. With almost instant access to thousands of music artists, your favourite beats are just as close as your remote.

Explore your passions

In addition to the most popular streaming channels, your Roku TV also offers lots of streaming channels to fuel your passions – including fitness, cooking, religion, outdoors, international programming and much more.

Take advantage of awesome features

Powerful, voice-enabled search lets you use the Roku mobile app or a smart speaker to control your TV. Use voice commands to find films and TV programmes by title, actor, director or genre across multiple streaming channels. Additionally, your search commands can include popular film quotes and words like "free" and "4K".

Voice commands with multiple device support let you use Apple Siri, Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to change stations, TV inputs, launch streaming channels and more. Use conversational commands and, if needed, include a location in your command, such as “in the bedroom” to specify which Roku device you want to control.

Apple AirPlay 2 lets you use your iOS and macOS devices to effortlessly share videos, photos, music and more from Apple devices on Roku TVs ^1 . Control AirPlay sessions with pause, rewind and more using your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Play music from your Apple devices on Roku TVs and other AirPlay 2 enabled speakers in your home at the same time and in perfect sync. Plus, mirror the screen from your iPhone, iPad or Mac to the big screen.

Live TV Pause (certain models only) uses a USB drive (not provided) to let you pause live TV for up to 90 minutes. After pausing, you can play, fast-forward, rewind and pause again to any point within the rolling 90-minute window.

Programme Guide gives you insight into not only what's on TV at the moment, but what was on up to a week ago, and what will be on in the coming week. And, for many over-the-air programmes, if you start watching the programme after it is already in progress, or you see something you missed in the programme guide, you can use the guide's options menu to discover how you can see the programme from the beginning and find other episodes or entire seasons of the programme, if applicable.

Screen mirroring can send your personal media to the big screen from your compatible smartphone or tablet in just a few taps. Plus, with certain channels, you can send films, programmes, sport highlights and more directly to your TV.

Free Roku mobile app for iOS ^® and Android ^™ mobile devices ^2 gives you even more exclusive features, such as:

- A second, more powerful remote control. Browse channels and search more easily using your mobile device's touch keyboard. Use Roku Voice commands to search and control your TV, even if it does not have a Roku Voice Remote. ^3

• Experience private listening even if your TV does not have a Roku Voice Remote. Listen to TV audio through either wired or Bluetooth® headphones connected to your mobile device.
• Use Play on Roku to play your videos, photos, and music on your TV.
• Create a screensaver from your photo library to show whenever your TV has been inactive for an extended period of time.

Customisable Home screen puts your favourite streaming channels and TV inputs front and centre on the Home screen. Choose your own wallpaper and screensaver to customise your Roku TV – even reorder your channels and inputs to be just how you want them.

Automatic account linking keeps track of supported streaming subscriptions on other Roku devices, so that you won't have to re-enter your username and password when adding the same channel on your newly activated Roku TV. ^1

What is streaming?

Streaming is viewing or listening to video or audio content that is sent over the Internet, or located on a network-connected media server

With streaming, you can buy or rent most programmes on demand, when it's convenient for you, and you can also watch live streaming channels and events Also, you can play, pause, rewind, and fast forward most on-demand streaming programmes.

Tip: Although you can play, pause, rewind and fast forward most streaming content, some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live programming or a programme that is supported by ads, you might not be allowed to skip the ads.

Your Roku TV lets you choose from streaming channels that offer a huge selection of entertainment:

• Thousands of films and TV episodes.
- Both live and on-demand TV, sports, music, films and more.

• Programming just for kids and families.
• International programming relevant to your community.
• 24x7 news and in-depth news commentary.

Many streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels let you purchase or rent the latest film releases or popular TV series. Some channels charge a monthly subscription fee, and others are available at no additional cost if you subscribe to a companion service through your cable or satellite provider.

If you have an existing subscription to a streaming provider, you can just sign in with your existing username and password.

To play streaming content, add one or more streaming channels to your Home screen. Use the Add Channels shortcut on the Home screen or the Streaming Channels option on the Home Screen Menu to go to the Roku Store, and then select the streaming channel you want to add. The channel remains on your Home screen unless you remove it, and you can watch it at any time.

For more information, see Using the Roku 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.

Let's get started.

Connections and set-up

Refer to your TV's Quick Start Guide or other provided documentation 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.

Connecting a TV aerial

Connect your TV aerial to the TV using a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not provided) from the aerial to the ANT input on the TV.

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 one of the following methods:

• HDMI input - Digital HD and SD video (best)
- AV input ( certain models only) - analogue SD video

Connecting external equipment with a composite AV video cable (certain models)

Only on certain models, connect a device to the TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV cables typically have three RCA-type plugs on each end, colour 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: Some TV 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 labelled 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 certain models: The connector labelled 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 digital output format.

Connecting headphones or analogue soundbar (certain models)

Only on certain models, you can connect headphones or an analogue 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.

Certain models also have an audio line-out connection that is not affected 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

off the TV's built-in speakers, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings >Audio >TV speakers and change the setting.

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 any of the following 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 Setting up a digital audio connection.

HDMI® eARC - Certain 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 programmes 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

Your TV has a built-in wireless LAN adapter. Note that for wireless connectivity, your TV supports only its internal wireless network adapter—it does not support the use of a USB network adapter.

Some models have both wired and wireless network connectivity. To use the wired network connection if available on your TV, 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 off.

The topic Status Indicator explains how the status indicator shows what is happening with the TV.

Panel buttons

Your TV has buttons on its side, bottom or back panel that perform simple control functions. The TV panel buttons are not a substitute for the remote, as they do not give you access to all TV functions.

Guided Set-up

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 Set-up, which configures the TV before you start to use it.

During Guided Set-up, 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 Set-up

To start Guided Set-up, press POWER ⏻ on the remote to turn on your TV.

Note: Guided Set-up normally runs only once, the first time you turn on your TV. If you need to run Guided Set-up 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:

• The status indicator blinks every time the TV is busy doing something; in this case it's powering up and getting ready for you.
• 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.

Roku TV

After a few seconds, Guided Set-up starts.

At this point, you should be seeing the Language screen.

Accessibility: If you have selected English language, you can activate the screen reader, a text-to-speech screen reader to help you navigate the TV's menus and commands. To enable the screen reader, press STAR * four times in rapid succession. Repeat to disable the screen reader. (STAR * is located directly below the purple directional pad on the right side of the Roku remote.)

If you enabled the screen reader, choosing any language other than English disables it.

1. Press DOWN on the purple directional pad to highlight your preferred language, and then press OK.

2. Some models have a country selection screen. If you don't see this screen, skip ahead to the next step.

If you see this screen, select your country and then press OK.

Roku TV | Set up environment < Set up for home use Set up for shop use

1. Press OK to select Set up for home use. This is the right choice for enjoying your TV at home. It provides energy saving options as well as access to all features of the TV.

Note: Set up for shop use configures the TV for retail display and is not recommended for any other use. In Shop mode, some features of the TV are missing or limited. To switch from one mode to the other, you must perform a factory reset, as explained in Factory reset everything, and then repeat Guided Set-up.

Network connection

After you select Set up for home use, the TV prompts you to make a network connection. If your TV has both wired and wireless connections, you'll see the following screen. If your TV has only wireless connectivity, skip the following step.

Roku TV | Connect to the Internet < Wireless Set up new wireless connection > Wired Connect to the Internet later Your TV is currently not connected to a wireless network. To set up a wireless connection: • Select "Set up new wireless connection" • Select your network • Enter a password, if required

1. Only on models that display the Connect to the Internet screen: Make a selection:

2. Wireless connection - Highlight Set up new wireless connection and press OK. The TV prompts you through wireless set-up. Skip ahead to the next step for help with the process.

3. Wired connection - Highlight Connect to wired network and press OK. The TV immediately attempts to connect to your wired network, your local network and then the Internet. Go to Step 9 to continue with Guided Set-up.

- Connect to the Internet later ( Only on certain models) - If you don't want to connect to the Internet at the moment, you can select this option and then press OK. You can still use the TV to watch live TV channels, connect your devices to play games, watch DVDs or watch content from other devices. When you're ready to connect, it's easy. We'll show you how in Connecting your TV.

Note: If you decide not to connect, Guided Set-up skips ahead to setting up the devices that you've connected to your TV. Jump ahead to Connect your devices to complete Guided Set-up.

1. On wireless only models or models with both wired and wireless and 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 neighbours.

Roku TV | Choose your network MyHomeNetwork NeighboursNetwork StarbucksOpenWiFi SmartPhoneHotSpot Other options Scan again to see all networks Private network

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 school halls of residence, 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 compatible mobile

phone or tablet to provide the needed information. For more information, see Using your TV on a restricted public network.

Other options

- Scan again to see all networks – The name of this option depends on the number of wireless networks within range.

- Scan again appears if the list already shows all available wireless networks within range. If you don't see your wireless network name in the list, you might need to adjust the location of your wireless router or the TV, turn on your router or make other changes. When everything is ready, select Scan again to see if your network name now appears in the list.

- Scan again to see all networks appears only if there are more wireless networks than the ones 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.

- Private network – If your wireless network name is hidden, it won't appear in the list. Select Private network and then press OK to display an on-screen keyboard. Use the keyboard to enter your network name. Unless you changed the factory-set network name, you can find the name (also called SSID) on a label on the router.

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.

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

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 12.0. But note also that certain features of the TV might change from time to time independently of Roku TV updates.

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.

Note: Roku does not charge for activation support—beware of scams. For detailed information, see Will I be charged for customer service or device activation?

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.

Tip: Roku periodically synchronises streaming channels among all of the devices associated with your account. Therefore, adding or removing a channel from one of your Roku devices adds or removes it from all of your other Roku devices (subject to compatibility with the device).

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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

2. 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 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", "Cable Box" and "DVR".

1. Repeat the previous step for each input.

You're done with Guided Set-up.

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

- Only on channels that you have subscribed through your linked Roku account manage your subscriptions by highlighting a streaming channel and pressing STAR *. 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 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 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.

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 aerial 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 inputs and channels.

When you set up Live TV, the TV scans the signals on its ANT input for channels with a good signal and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a very weak signal.

How do I set up the TV tuner?

1. Make sure that your aerial (not provided) is connected to the TV's ANT 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...

Finding channels 34% Scanning live TV Cancel

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.
• While in the programme guide, press OK to tune to the highlighted channel (if you are viewing programmes that are on now).
• While watching a TV programme, press OK to display information about the current programme.
• Press STAR * to see options for picture and sound settings.
• Press Freeview Play to go to the Freeview Play area, where you can view on-demand and live programmes and watch catch-up TV on several channels.
• Use the Roku mobile app, Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to search for programmes by title, actor, director or genre. The TV or the Roku mobile app displays the results along with the streaming channels that offer the requested content.

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 off and blinks in different ways, depending on the status of the TV, as shown in the following table:

TV CONDITION	STATUS INDICATOR	MEANING
On (screen is active)	Off	Screen is communicating that TV is on.
Screensaver (screen is active)	Off	Screen is communicating that TV is on.
Off (no power)	Off	TV is not connected to power.
Off (standby) On		TV is connected to power and is ready to use.
Starting up from off state	Slow pulsing blink until startup completes	TV is doing something.
On (receiving update from USB)	Slow pulsing blink until update completes	TV is doing something.
Remote command received	Dims on/off once	TV has received your command.
Network connection lost	Two short blinks, pause, repeat	TV was connected and paired with a Roku account and now has no network connection.
Powering down to standby mode	Slow pulsing blink until the TV reaches standby.	TV is doing something.

In standby mode, as long as the TV has power, the status indicator normally remains lit. If you prefer, you can turn the status indicator off when the TV is in standby mode. To change this setting, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > System >

Power, and then select Standby LED. Press RIGHT and then select Off or On, as desired.

Standby mode energy savings

When you turn off 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.

You can optionally enable Fast TV Start. When this option is enabled, your TV starts up almost immediately, but uses somewhat more power in standby mode. Fast TV Start also gives you access to some additional features. For more information, see Fast TV Start.

Watching live TV channels

Select the Live TV input on the Home screen. Your TV remembers the last channel you watched and starts with that channel playing.

Changing channels

To change channels, you can do any of the following:

• Press CH+ to change to the next higher channel.
• Press CH- to change to the next lower channel.
• Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to watch.

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.

• 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:

19:59 20:17 3 4 5

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

Your TV automatically detects select game consoles and configures the key features it supports to optimise TV performance while playing video games. When you connect a supported and powered-on game console through an HDMI ^® input, the TV automatically changes the input's icon to the game console icon ^1 . Only on certain models with compatible game consoles, it also enables any of the following features (if available):

• Automatic low-latency mode (ALLM)
- Variable refresh rate
- HDR gaming
- High frame rate
- Game mode
• THX Certified game mode

Various combinations of these features are available only on select Roku TV models, and if present, can be disabled by navigating to Settings > TV inputs and then selecting the appropriate HDMI input.

When you start playing a game, your TV displays a message at the bottom of the screen to make you aware of the settings that it will use.

Using your TV on a restricted public network

Hotels, school halls of residence, 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 of 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 other public network requires wireless availability and a network-connected mobile phone, tablet or computer to authenticate access to your wireless access point.
  • You will need your Roku TV remote.

Getting your Roku TV online on a restricted public network

1. When setting up a network connection (either during Guided Set-up or using Settings > Network > Set up connection), the TV automatically detects that you are connecting to a restricted network and displays the following prompt:

Roku TV | Choose your network 20:45 MyHomeNetwork NeighboursNetw StarbucksOpenV SmartPhoneHotS Other options Scan again to set Private network Network connection help We need assistance in connecting your TV. Where are you? I am at a hotel or Uni. hall! I am at home

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.)

1. After selecting the correct network, highlight I am at a hotel or hall of residence, and then press OK. The TV prompts you to use your mobile phone, tablet or laptop to complete the connection.

Roku TV | Choose your network 20:45 Hotel and university connect 1. From your smartphone, tablet or laptop, go to wireless settings 2. Connect to 'DIRECT-roku-744-047615' 3. Enter password: 27965590 4. Launch a browser on your smartphone, tablet or laptop to enter the required information (such as name and room #) Note: No data plan will be used if you use your smartphone to connect.

1. Use a mobile phone, 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.

1. Connect to the network named on your TV screen.

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

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

2. 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 organisation that controls the wireless connection.

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

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

Opting out of HbbTV

Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) is enabled by default, and provides interactive television services over both broadcast signals and your Internet connection, if any. You can change the following settings by navigating from the Home Screen Menu to Settings > TV Inputs > Live TV > HbbTV:

Enable HbbTV - Highlight this option and press OK to clear the check box and disable HbbTV.

Do not track - Highlight this option and press OK to change the tracking options. Choose between the following options:

• Not set - Your TV will not share your tracking preference with HbbTV apps.
• On - Your TV will tell HbbTV apps that you do not want your behaviour tracked. However, whether HbbTV apps honour this setting is voluntary.

Checking signal condition

You can check the signal condition of the TV broadcasts you receive over your TV aerial. Doing so can help you troubleshoot reception issues and take corrective action; for example, repositioning your aerial or adding a signal amplifier.

To check signal condition:

1. From the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Signal condition.
2. Highlight one of the channel multiplexes in the right column. A multiplex is a collection of channels coming from a single broadcast location. The highlighted multiplex shows its signal strength adjacent to the channel number.
3. Press OK to display the signal condition details.

1. Make any adjustments to your aerial as needed. The signal strength and signal quality indicators will increase as you find the optimum position for your aerial. By trying different multiplexes, you can find the position that provides the best signal across all channels or optimise one multiplex over the others if that is your preference.

Adjusting TV settings

You can adjust most picture and sound settings while you are watching a programme by pressing STAR * to open the TV settings menu. There are some additional picture and sound settings in the main 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.

Main Settings menu

Use the main 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:

- TV brightness – Provide a better viewing experience in darker or brighter rooms. Increases or decreases the TV's general brightness across all TV inputs.

Note: This setting is identical to the TV brightness setting you can access in the TV settings menu while watching a programme.

- HDR/Dolby Vision notification - Only on certain models: Controls whether the TV displays a notification in the upper right corner of the screen for a few seconds when HDR or Dolby Vision™ content begins to play.

- On - The TV displays a notification when HDR or Dolby Vision™ content begins to play.

- Off – The TV does not display a notification when HDR or Dolby Vision™ content begins to play.

Note: This setting does not affect the HDR or Dolby Vision™ notification that always appears in the programme information banner. Press OK while watching a programme to open the programme information banner.

- Settings per input – Lists each TV input. Select an input, and then press STAR * to display the TV settings menu where you can adjust the input's settings while watching the video and listening to the sound from that input.

Tip: You don't have to go to the main Settings menu first - you can display an input's TV settings menu and adjust its settings whenever you are watching the input by pressing STAR *.

TV settings menu

The TV settings menu provides settings for controlling the appearance of the picture and the quality of the audio for each TV input. To view the TV settings menu, press STAR * whenever you are watching a TV input or streaming a video.

When ALLM is active, the manual Game mode setting is not available. Note that there is no ALLM menu option.

Note: Whenever you change a picture or power setting that causes the TV to consume more power, the TV displays an EU-mandated power consumption notification. This notification remains on the screen until you dismiss it by selecting one of the options.

Picture settings Live TV Quick viewing presets Picture mode > Low power TV brightness > Brighter Customise picture mode > Advanced settings > The settings you changed use more power OK Change back Don't show again

EU-mandated power consumption notification

Variable refresh rate (VRR)

Only on certain 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. This feature requires the following conditions:

• Variable refresh rate is turned On in the HDMI settings for the input. This setting is Off 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.

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. Within a single search operation, you can search by:

• Film name
  • TV programme name
  • Actor or director name
• Streaming channel name
• Genre, including the special genres, "free" and "4K".
• Game name

Note: Roku Search searches across many, but not all, popular streaming channels. The actual channels it searches vary by locale.

How do I search?

You can search in several different 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 using the Roku mobile app, Amazon Alexa or Google Home Assistant. Participating channels show results without leaving the channel you are viewing. Results from the active channel appear in the first row, followed by results from other channels.

For details 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 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.

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 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".

For more information about setting up and using Google Assistant with your Roku TV, see the Roku support article, How do I use Google to control my Roku® streaming device?

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".

For more information about setting up and using Amazon Alexa with your Roku TV, see the Roku support article, How do I use Amazon Alexa to control my Roku® streaming device?

Direct-to-playback search results

With direct-to-playback, voice search results jump directly to and start playing the programme whenever your search command can be uniquely identified and the requested content is available at no additional cost to you. ^1

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.

Tip: New content is continuously added to the Roku Store, so be sure to check back frequently for new options.

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.

Automatic Account Link

Some subscription channels take advantage of Automatic Account Link. If you have multiple Roku devices, channels that support this feature require you to supply your username and password on only one device.

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.

Tip: If you purchase and connect a Roku premium audio product, such as a Roku Streambar, your Roku TV automatically controls all required sound settings, power, volume and mute through your TV's remote control.

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.

Custom input names/icons

Rather than using predefined names and icons, you can enter a custom name and select an icon. From the Rename list, scroll down to highlight Set name & icon, and then press OK. Follow the instructions on the screen to enter a name and select an icon for the input.

Press HOME 🔒 to return to the Home screen. The new name and icon are now in effect.

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 HOMV2 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.

Change the look and feel with themes

Another way to customise your TV is to change its theme. The theme establishes the look and feel of the TV through colours, designs, fonts, wallpaper (background) and screensaver. Some themes require payment.

To change the theme, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > Theme. In the Themes screen, choose from the following options:

- Wallpapers - Select a wallpaper of your choice.

- Screensavers - Select a screensaver of your choice.

- Seasonal wallpapers – When this feature is on, Roku overrides your selected wallpaper with a wallpaper of their own choosing for various holidays and significant events. After the holiday or event passes, the TV reverts to your selected theme.

- Screensaver wait time – Select the idle time after which you want your selected screensaver to appear.

- Restore default theme – Every Roku TV has a theme based on the TV brand and model. Use this option to restore that default theme.

When you set up the TV tuner as described in Setting up live TV, 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.

Roku TV | Edit channel lineup 20:45 Hide this channel 001 - Channel name (1 of 149 channels) Hide 001 BBC One Hide 002 BBC Two Hide 003 BBC Three Hide 004 BBC Four Hide 005 CBBC Hide 006 CBeebies Hide 007 BBC News Hide 008 BBC Parliament

For each channel that you want to hide, highlight it, and then press OK to hide the channel.

Tip: If you need to see the highlighted channel to decide whether to hide it, wait a couple of moments for the TV to start playing the channel's picture and sound. If you've enabled parental controls, and the programme on the current channel is blocked, you won't see a picture or hear sound while editing the channel line-up.

Note: Repeating the live TV channel scan unhides all hidden channels.

Change menu volume

Menu sounds are the noises the TV makes to let you know it received your command. You can change the volume of these menu sounds or turn them off.

To adjust the menu volume, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings >Audio >Menu volume. Navigate to the right, and then change the setting to High, Medium, Low or Off.

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 ^TM or DTS audio content back to a home theatre receiver or Roku Streambar ^TM 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.

Setting up a digital audio connection

To take advantage of your TV's advanced audio capabilities, connect it to an external amplifier, receiver or soundbar by using either of these two digital audio connections:

- HDMI ARC or HDMI eARC – The HDMI ^ Audio Return Channel (ARC) or only on certain models, the HDMI ^ Enhanced ARC (eARC) connector enables the TV to output digital audio on one of its HDMI ^ connectors.

HDMI (ARC)

The connected amplifier then can function simultaneously as an input source to the TV, if needed, without the need to use additional cables.

To use the ARC or eARC capability, you must connect an HDMI ^ cable from your amplifier's HDMI ^ ARC or eARC connector to the HDMI ARC or HDMI eARC connector on the TV. You also must do the following:

• Be sure your HDMI ^® cable is HDMI ^® certified.
• Select Auto or ARC under Settings > Audio > Audio output.

- S/PDIF optical – The S/PDIF optical connector outputs a digital audio signal. To use the optical output, connect a TOSLINK optical cable from the amplifier to the Optical or S/PDIF connector on the TV.

Important: To make sure that the S/PDIF outputs audio reliably, you must turn off the TV's speakers. To do so, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings >Audio >Audio output and change the setting to Optical.

Note: Dolby Audio™ support for Dolby Digital Plus™ format is not available through the S/PDIF optical output. This format is only available through the HDMI ARC connection.

Tip: Even when you use S/PDIF for audio, the TV can correctly detect more audio formats if you connect an HDMI® cable between the TV's HDMI ARC or HDMI eARC port and the receiver's ARC or eARC port.

Choosing a preferred audio streaming format

Some streaming content is available with multiple audio formats. You can choose the format you prefer from among the following options:

• Auto – Automatically selects the best audio format for the content you are streaming.
• Dolby – Selects Dolby Audio if it is available. Otherwise, selects the best available format.
• DTS – Selects DTS if it is available. Otherwise, selects the best available format.

Choosing an audio digital output format

After making the required HDMI ^® ARC, eARC or S/PDIF optical connection, go to Settings > Audio > Digital output format and select the audio format to use.

Choosing Auto is the easy solution, and generally provides good results. However, if you have a high-end sound system and want to make sure that you are getting the best sound quality available in the programmes you are watching, you can choose another setting.

• Auto - Automatically detects the incoming audio format and transcodes it to a compatible available format for the audio output (ARC, eARC or S/PDIF).
• Passthrough – Passes through the input audio to the connected receiver without transcoding, sometimes resulting in better audio quality especially for high-end audio formats, such as those that take advantage of the higher bandwidth of eARC, including Dolby MAT and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1, among others.
• Stereo – Always outputs stereo, regardless of input audio format.
• Custom – When selected, reveals the following additional options for Dolby and DTS audio:

- Dolby – Converts all input formats to either Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus, according to the option you choose:

- Dolby Digital - Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital.

- Dolby Digital Plus – Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital Plus.

- DTS – If you select On, converts all audio sources except DTS to Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus according to the Dolby option you selected. If DTS is detected and the receiver supports DTS, this option passes through the DTS audio without modification. If you select Off, the TV does not detect or pass through DTS audio.

Note: DTS audio formats are meant to be used with ARC, eARC or S/PDIF connections to a DTS-capable home theatre receiver. If you enable DTS when using the TV speakers, you might not hear any audio.

Dolby Atmos notification

Only on models that support Dolby Atmos ^® audio technology, you can enable or disable the on-screen notification that appears when you start watching content that contains Atmos audio.

To disable the notification, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > Dolby Atmos notification, and toggle the setting Off.

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 app ^1 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.

Tip: If you are using a Roku Voice Remote or the Roku mobile app, press VOICE and say, "Turn off the display".

Note: This feature may not be available on all streaming channels, and is available only when Fast TV Start is enabled. To enable Fast TV Start, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > System > Power.

Controlling other devices through CEC

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) enables your TV and other CEC-compatible home entertainment devices to control one another in various ways. First, the CEC-compatible devices must “discover” one another and report their capabilities. After this, one device can control another according to the features you enable. For example, playing a disc on a Blu-ray™ player could switch the TV to the Blu-ray™ player’s input. Or, powering off the TV could also power off the Blu-ray™ player and the home theatre receiver.

Discover connected CEC devices

To discover CEC devices:

1. Make sure that your CEC-compatible devices are connected to the TV with a suitable certified HDMI® Cable that supports HDMI® ARC and CEC control.
2. Turn on each device and make sure that all devices are CEC enabled.

Tip: Some manufacturers have their own branded names for CEC functionality, so you might need to read the product documentation to correctly identify the CEC features of the device.

1. On the TV's Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and then select Search for CEC devices. Press OK to repeat the discovery process, if necessary.

When finished, the TV displays a list of CEC devices that are connected to each HDMI input, as well as any devices that had previously been connected. The TV remembers the names of multiple CEC devices, even when they are no longer connected. If the list is longer than the allowed space, press STAR * to see a complete list in a scrollable window.

Enable one-touch play

One-touch play enables a device to control which TV input is active. For example, pressing Play on your Blu-ray™ player switches the TV to the Blu-ray™ input.

One-touch play is disabled by default. To enable one-touch play, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight one-touch play. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.

Enable system standby

The system standby feature causes other devices to power off when you power off your TV. Depending on the CEC System Standby implementation, it also might enable connected devices to power off your TV when you power off the device.

System standby is disabled by default. To enable system standby, from the Home Screen Menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight System standby. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.

Restart the TV

You can restart the TV when necessary. Restarting has the same effect as unplugging the TV power and then plugging it in again.

To restart the TV, navigate to Settings > System > Power, and then select System restart. Highlight Restart, and then press OK to confirm restart.

While the TV restarts, the screen goes dark for a few seconds, and then displays the start-up screen for a few more seconds. When the restart operation completes, the TV displays the activity you selected in Power on settings.

Reset the TV

You can choose to reset only the TV picture and audio settings to their original values, or perform a full factory reset to return the TV to the state it was in when you first unpacked and turned it on.

Reset audio/picture settings

To reset only the TV picture and audio settings to their original values, navigate to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset, and then highlight Reset TV audio/picture settings. Read the information on the screen to make sure that you understand what the reset operation does.

To proceed with the reset operation, press PLAY/PAUSE ▶II three times in a row.

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). Before performing a

factory reset, we recommend you read this Roku support article to diagnose your issue and determine if there are other ways to solve the problem: How do I factory reset my Roku ^® streaming device?

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.

Using Recovery Mode

Certain models have another reset option called Recovery Mode, which you can access by holding down the RESET button for at least 20 seconds. For a list of models that support Recover Mode and detailed instructions about how to use it, see the Roku support article How do I use Recovery Mode on my Roku TV?.

Network connection reset

If you want to remove your network connection information without disturbing other settings, navigate from the Home Screen Menu to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Network connection reset, and then select Reset connection.

When you select this option, the TV removes your wireless network information, including the name of the connection (its SSID) and your wireless password, if any, and then it restarts. After restarting, your TV retains all of its other settings including its association with your Roku account.

After resetting your network connection, navigate from the Home Screen Menu to Settings > Network > Set up connection to set up your network connection and enjoy all of the benefits of your connected TV.

Roku Account PIN

When you created your Roku account, you were given the opportunity to create a PIN code and to specify when it must be used. You can:

• Require that users enter the PIN to make purchases through the TV.
• Require that users enter the PIN to add items from the Roku Store.
  • Establish parental controls for The Roku Channel.
• Enable or disable Guest Mode.

Follow these steps if you created a Roku PIN and want to change it, if you don't remember your PIN or if you didn't create a Roku Account PIN and want to add one.

1. Use a web browser to go to https://my.roku.com and sign in.

After signing in, the My account page appears.

1. Under PIN preference, click Update to open the Choose your PIN preferences page.

2. Use the options on this page to create or change your Roku PIN and to specify how the PIN is to be used.

3. Click Save Changes to save your changes and return to the My Account page. Note that your current setting is described under PIN preference.

Update the TV

Your TV automatically updates itself from time to time. You don't need to do anything. But if you are aware that an update is available and you don't want to wait until the TV updates itself, you can manually check for updates.

If you're one of those people who has to have the latest, most up-to-date features the moment they are available, you can check for updates as often as you want.

To check for updates, navigate to Settings > System > Software update, and then select Check now. The TV responds either with a message saying that your TV is up to date, or with a message saying that an update is available.

Follow the instructions on the screen to install the software update.

Note: Sometimes software updates install new system software, and other times they install new features for streaming channels. Therefore, you won't always see a change in the behaviour of your TV after a software update.

Tip: You can download an updated User Guide for the latest software version from the Roku TV web site at:

Using other devices with your TV

Mirroring your phone or tablet

Your TV has a feature called screen mirroring that lets you mirror your compatible mobile phone or tablet on your TV. Share videos, photos, web pages and more from compatible devices.

By default, your TV's screen mirroring mode is set to Prompt. In this mode, when your TV receives a screen mirroring request, it prompts you with the following options, unless you have previously selected Always allow or Never allow for the device:

• Always allow - Always accept mirrored content from the mobile device without additional prompting in the future for this device.
• Allow - Accept mirrored content from the mobile device this time only. Prompt again next time this device attempts to mirror content.
• Block – Do not accept mirrored content from the mobile device at this time. Prompt again next time this device attempts to mirror content.
• Always block – Never accept mirrored content from this mobile device.

Note: You can manage and change the list of devices that are set to Always allow or Always block by navigating from the Home Screen Menu to Settings > System > Screen mirroring > Screen mirroring devices.

• If you prefer to always allow all screen mirroring attempts without prompting, go to Settings > System > Screen mirroring, and then change the Screen mirroring mode to Always allow.
• If you prefer to never allow screen mirroring from any device, change the Screen mirroring mode to Never allow.

For information on which devices may work with screen mirroring and instructions on how to use it, go to the following link on the Roku website:

What if I haven't connected my TV?

Note: Some models cannot function without an Internet connection, and so this information might not apply to you.

What 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 want. 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.

What you're missing by not connecting

Many of your Roku TV's best features are available only when you connect it to the Internet and pair it with a free Roku account. Without connecting, your Home screen looks similar to the following:

Roku TV Home Settings Live Game console HDMI 2 HDMI 3 USB media player Shortcuts— Sleep timer 20:45 6 Items

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.

Updating a TV that is not connected

If your TV is not connected to the Internet, you can still get software updates by using a USB flash drive and a computer with an Internet connection.

To get a software update, navigate to Settings > System > Software update:

Roku TV | System System update Connect to the Internet Advanced system settings I can't connect Third-party licenses About Time Power Your TV can get the latest and greatest features and occasional updates. Control other devices (CEC) The easiest way is to connect. If you can't, there is a manual method, too.

The Software update screen on a non-connected TV gives you the opportunity to connect your TV to the Internet to automatically receive updates. We recommend this option if it is possible in your situation. To proceed, select Connect to the Internet and follow the instructions in Connecting your TV.

Otherwise, if you can't connect to the Internet, select I can't connect, and then follow the instructions on the screen. Here's a summary:

1. On an Internet-connected computer, go to the web site displayed on the Software update screen.
2. On the USB Update web page, select the correct brand and model, and then click Next.
3. Click Download Software, and then save the file to the root folder of a standard USB flash drive.

USB flash drive

Any normal USB flash drive will work, provided it has a FAT-16 or FAT-32 file system format. (This is the default for most flash drives.)

The size of the download is small (usually less than 100 MB) and so will fit on most any size flash drive you might have.

1. When the download finishes, take the USB flash drive to the TV and plug it into the USB port. When you do, the TV validates the files on the flash drive and displays a 12-digit code.
2. Write down the code and the web address, and take this information back to your Internet-connected computer.
3. On the 12-digit code page, enter the code your TV displayed and then click Next.
4. On the 6-digit code page, write down the 6-digit code that appears and then take it back to your TV.

12- and 6-digit codes

The USB update process uses a pair of codes to validate that you are authorised to install an update, and to ensure you are not attempting to install an old, unsupported version of the system software.

1. Using the TV remote, select Next to move to the next screen, and then use the on-screen keyboard to enter the 6-digit code. When finished, select OK. The software update begins. Do not remove the USB flash drive until the TV restarts.

When the update finishes, the TV restarts. You can check the new version number by navigating to Settings > System > About.
