Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Roku TV! Discover the joy of endless
entertainment. After it’s set up, you’ll be able to access a world of streaming content
channels that may include paid subscription channels and thousands of free channels.
Important:
Your TV receives automatic updates from time to time, enabling new
content and features. This edition of the User Guide describes Roku TV version 9.4. To
determine the current version of your Roku TV, go to Settings > System > About
after you complete Guided Setup.
The new standard in Smart TVs
Welcome to TV like you’ve most likely never seen before—a home screen that you can
personalize with your favorite devices and streaming channels. Choose from hundreds
of thousands of streaming movies and TV episodes, plus 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.
Get the most out of your new TV
Follow these steps to get the most out of your new TV.
• Connect to the Internet
• It’s easy, and it will unlock a world of entertainment. All you need is a
network connection. There are hundreds of free streaming channels, paid
subscription services, and convenient ways to rent or buy a favorite movie
or program.
3
While you’re at it, explore these additional voice features:
• Set sleep timers. For example, say “Turn the TV off in 30 minutes”, or
“Go to sleep at 11 p.m.”
• Go directly to playing a program whenever your search command can
be uniquely identified and the requested content is available at no
additional cost to you.1
• Search for movies based on popular quotes. For example, say “What
movie is this from – ‘Here’s looking at you, kid’.”
•
Only on 4K TVs
, say “Show me 4K movies” to see a list of 4K movies
available across participating streaming channels.
• Use voice commands to turn the display off (for enjoying streaming
music), turn closed captions on or off, and to replay the last few seconds
of a movie or TV program.
• Control the Roku Media Player to play your personal music and show
movies and photos. Say commands like, “Play classic rock on Roku
Media Player,” “S Pkip ahead 20 seconds,” or “ lay the next song.”
• Ask Siri on your Apple device to control your 4K Roku TV with just your
voice. Say things like “Hey Siri, play jazz on the living room TV” to play
music from your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, HomePod, or Mac on your
Roku TV. 4K Roku TVs also support Apple HomeKit, providing an easy way
to control HomeKit-enabled accessories using the Apple Home app and Siri.
After installing your 4K Roku TV, set it up with just a few simple steps
within the Apple Home app. You can even create your own custom
automations and scenes that include HomeKit-enabled accessories such as
your 4K Roku TV, to control your home setting.
1 -to-Direct playback commands work with selected streaming channels. Direct playback occurs only
when there is a high confidence of match, the content is free or you are already subscribed, and the
channel is already added to your Home screen.

control your Roku TV. You can search for movies and TV programs, launch
most channels, control playback, adjust the volume, switch inputs, turn the
TV on and off, and more. Control multiple Roku devices by including the
location of the device in your commands. For example, say “Hey Google,
turn off Roku in the bedroom.”
• Use Amazon Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Echo Show, or the Amazon Alexa mobile
app to control your Roku TV. You can search for movies and TV programs,
launch most channels, control playback, adjust the volume, switch inputs,
turn the TV on and off, and more. Control multiple Roku devices by
including the location of the device in your commands. For example, say
“Hey Alexa, pause Roku in the living room.”
• Use Apple AirPlay 2 with your iOS and MacOS devices
• Effortlessly share videos, photos, music, and more from Apple devices on
4K Roku TVs. 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 in
perfect sync. Plus, mirror the screen from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to the
big screen.
• Send your personal media to the big screen
• Send personal photos, videos, and music from your compatible smartphone
or tablet to the TV screen in just a few taps. Plus, with certain channels, you
can send movies, programs, sport highlights, and more directly to your TV.

Using your Roku TV on a restricted public network requires wireless
availability and use of your network-connected smartphone, tablet, or
computer to authenticate access to your account. You must use your Roku
TV remote, and not the Roku mobile app, to initiate the connection process.
Streaming content might be limited due to your geographic location or due
of restrictions imposed by the network host.

Connections and setup
Refer to your TV’s Quick Start Guide or other provided documentation to for model-
specific information about attaching the base or a wall mount and making
connections to AC power and to your other audio/video devices. The following
information applies to all Roku TV models.
Connecting an antenna, cable, or satellite box
If you are using an antenna, CATV cable without a set-top box, or a cable or satellite
box that has only an antenna output, connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not provided)
from the device to the ANT/CABLE input on the TV.
Tip:
If you are using an antenna with a 300- -ohm twin lead cable, you need to use a
300- -75-to ohm adapter (not provided) to adapt the twin-lead cable to a connection
that is compatible with the TV’s antenna input.
Tip:
If you receive your TV stations through a set top box from a cable or satellite TV
provider, connect it to the TV using the best connection method available. From most
to least desirable:
• HDMI® input – Digital HD and SD video
• AV input – analog SD video
• Antenna input – analog SD video using NTSC
7
Connecting external equipment with a composite
AV video cable
If the best connection available on your device is AV or composite video output,
connect it to the TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV
cables typically have three RCA-type plugs on each end, color coded as follows:
• Yellow – Video
• Red – Audio, right channel
• White or black – Audio, left channel
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the device and on the TV.
Note:
Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the
breakout cable (included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your
composite cable.
Connecting external equipment with an HDMI®
cable
If possible, connect your devices using HDMI® cables (not provided). They help to
provide the best video quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is
needed. For better picture quality, we recommend that you use cables designated as
High Speed HDMI® Cables.
Tip:
You might need to configure the device to send its signal through its HDMI
®
connector.
The connector labeled HDMI (ARC) has the additional ability to use the audio return
channel to send digital audio to a receiver or soundbar, as explained in Connecting an
AV receiver or digital soundbar.
Only on select models:
The connector labeled HDMI (eARC) provides the same
functionality as the HDMI ARC -connector, plus the ability to pass through full
resolution sound formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from and to devices that
support these formats, without additional pr . Additional details are ocessing by the TV
provided in Choosing an audio format.
8
Connecting headphones or analog soundbar
You can connect headphones or an analog soundbar (not provided) to the TV’s
headphone jack.
Tip:
Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in
speakers.
Warning:
Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the
lowest volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not 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 headphones to the Roku Enhanced
Voice Remote
Select Roku TVs come with the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote. On these models, you
can connect headphones to the jack on the left side of the remote.
Tip:
Inserting a plug in the remote’s headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s
built-in speakers or attached receiver or soundbar. The volume and mute controls on
the right side of the remote adjust the volume level of the connected headphones.
Warning:
Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the
lowest volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound. You
might notice that connecting headphones to your remote shortens the remote’s
battery life somewhat.
9
Connecting an AV receiver or digital soundbar
You can enjoy Dolby Audio™ multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital
amplifier or soundbar (not provided) in either of two ways:
Digital optical audio out (S/PDIF) – Connect a TOSLINK optical cable (not provided)
from the TV to the Optical input on your receiver or soundbar.
HDMI® ARC – Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC)
connector to the HDMI® input on your receiver or soundbar. This connection uses the
Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature of HDMI® to output sound from the TV to a
compatible device. To use this feature, you must configure the TV to enable HDMI
®
ARC, as explained in Enable HDMI® ARC.
HDMI® eARC –
Select models only:
n Connect a HDMI® cable (not provided) from the
HDMI (eARC) connector to the HDMI (ARC) or HDMI (eARC) input on your receiver
or soundbar soundbar. If your receiver or supports HDMI enhanced ARC (eARC), the
TV -can pass through full resolution sound from programs containing enhanced audio.
If your receiver or soundbar does not support eARC, use the TV’s eARC port to make
the connection. The eARC port is backward compatible with the ARC standard.
Preparing for Internet connectivity
If you want to watch streaming content and take advantage of most of the cool
features of your Roku TV, connect it to the Internet through a wireless modem/router
or a wireless access point (not provided). The TV has a built-in wireless LAN adapter.
Note:
The TV supports only its internal wireless network adapter—it does not support
the use of a USB network adapter.
Select models also both wired have and wireless network connectivity. To use the
wired network connection, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (not provided) from the
jack on the back of your TV to your network router or switch. The wired connection
automatically supports both 10 Base- -T and 100 Base T Ethernet.
10
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.
Roku remote batteries
Open the back of your Roku remote and insert the included batteries, observing the
proper orientation as indicated in the battery compartment. Reattach the back cover.
Roku TV remote
Use the following information to identify the buttons on your Roku remote.
Note:
Remote buttons and features vary somewhat by model. Your remote might not
have all buttons or features listed.

Note: Roku does not charge for activation support – . beware of scams
26
Why do I need a Roku account?
You need a Roku account for several reasons:
• It links you, your Roku TV, and your other Roku streaming devices to the Roku
Channel Store and billing service.
• Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to
your Roku TV.
• Roku can automatically send updates to your device.
You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment across
thousands of streaming channels. Linking to a Roku account also activates several
advanced features on your TV, such as Guest Mode, the Roku mobile app, and Live TV
Pause, to name just a few. Roku accounts are free, and while a valid credit card number
is not required to create your account, providing your credit card information makes
renting, purchasing, and subscribing to entertainment from the Roku Channel Store
fast and convenient.
After you activate your TV, it gets an acknowledgement, and then adds your
newly-selected and pre-existing streaming channels to your Roku TV. This
process is automatic and takes a few moments—a little longer if you have
added a lot of streaming channels.
Tip:
Streaming channels from all of the Roku streaming devices associated with
your account are synchronized periodically ll of your Roku streaming devices . A
therefore display the same set of channels (subject to compatibility with the
device).

37
Setting up live TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you might want
to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to the
ANT input. On your Roku TV, you can watch broadcast TV in much the same way you
watch other entertainment choices: select the Live TV tile from the Home screen.
The first time you select the tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up Live TV
the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Live TV channel list.
Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided
by a cable or satellite company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes
use an HDMI ® connection.
More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or
cable/satellite service. If you don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead
remove it from the Home screen as explained in Remove unwanted tiles .
When you set up Live TV, the TV scans the signals on its antenna input for channels with a
good signal, and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a
very weak signal.
The TV lets you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal, for the purpose of using
an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3
or 4. Typically, you’ll only need one of these channels, but both are provided to make setup
simpler. You can hide the one you don’t want as explained in Edit Live TV channel lineup .
38
How do I set up the TV tuner?
1. Make sure your antenna (not provided) or TV cable is connected to the TV’s
ANT/CABLE input.
2. On the Home screen, select the Live TV tile. If it is not on your Home screen, go
to Settings > TV Inputs to add it.
3. Read the simple on-screen instructions, and then select Start finding channels.
4. If prompted, select your time zone. You’ll only need to do this if the TV can’t
figure out your time zone from your Internet connection.
39
Why does the TV need my time zone?
The TV needs to know your time zone so that it can correctly display time information
about the program you are currently watching. In most cases, it can get the time zone
automatically and skips this step.
5. When prompted, select whether to add analog channels 3 and 4. These
channels enable you to connect older set top boxes, VCRs, or game consoles.
6. Wait while your TV scans for Live TV stations…
40
… and then cable TV channels.
Scanning for channels can take several minutes.
Tip:
If you use a set top box to receive cable TV channels (and don’t have your -
cable connected directly to the TV’s ANT input), you can save time by skipping
the cable TV portion of the channel scan.
7. When the channel scans finish, the TV shows the number of channels it added.
41
8.
Only in connected mode
, you have the option of setting up Live TV Pause.
Pausing Live TV explains how to set up and use this feature. If you don’t want
to set up Live TV Pause, or if this option is not available to you, select Done to
start watching Live TV.
Tip:
Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure you are receiving all
of the latest channels. Broadcasters add and remove channels, move channels to
different parts of the spectrum, and change the power levels of their channels
periodically. Your antenna reception and picture quality depend on the position of
your antenna and on your location relative to the antennas of broadcasters in your
area. To repeat the channel scan, use the purple directional pad to highlight the
Live TV tile, press STAR , select Scan for channels, and then press OK.
You’ll also have to repeat the channel scan if you remove and re-add the Live TV
tile from the Home screen or perform a factory reset.
Now, you’re ready to watch Live TV! While you’re watching, try the following tips:
• Press UP or DOWN to change channels.
• Press LEFT to display the channel list, and then press UP or DOWN to select a
channel to watch. Or press REWIND or FAST FWD to jump through the
channel list a page at a time.
• Press OK to display information about the current program.
• Press STAR to see options for picture and sound settings.
•
Only on models that have a Roku Voice remote
, hold down VOICE or
SEARCH , and then say the name of a movie, TV program director, , or actor,
or the genre you want to find 1
. The TV displays the result and the streaming
channels that offer the requested content.
Note:
If you do not have a Roku , you can use the Roku mobile app Voice remote
to search. For more information, see Roku mobile app .

Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room
Hotels, school dorms, conference facilities, and similar locations with public wireless
Internet access often require you to interact with a web page to authenticate your
access. These types or networks are called
restricted public networks
. When you
select a network of this type, the TV automatically detects that additional information
is needed and prompts you through using another wireless device to supply the
requested information.
About using your TV on a restricted public network
Here are some points to keep in mind when using your TV on a restricted public
network:
• Using your Roku TV on a hotel or dorm room network requires wireless
availability and a network-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to
authenticate access to your wireless access point.
• You will need your Roku TV remote.
• Some content might be limited or unavailable if you try to connect outside
your home country due to geo-filtering.

2. After selecting the correct network, highlight I am at a hotel or college dorm,
and then press . The TV prompts you to use your smartphone, tablet, or OK
laptop to complete the connection.
3. Use a smartphone, tablet, or wireless-enabled computer to detect wireless
networks. In most cases, you can simply open the device’s Wi-Fi Settings or
Network Settings screen to start scanning.
Note:
The phone, tablet, or computer must be on the same wireless network to
which you are connecting the TV.
4. Connect to the network named on your TV screen. The actual network name
varies.
Note:
The previous step connects your smartphone, tablet, or computer
directly to the TV. No connection charges apply and the connection does not
impact your device’s data plan.
5. The wireless connection process prompts you for a password. Enter the
password as shown on the TV screen. The actual password varies.
6. Start the web browser on your smartphone, 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
59
number to proceed. The information requested depends on the organization
that controls the wireless connection.
7. After you enter the requested information, the TV automatically proceeds to
complete its connection and resumes normal operation.
8. If the TV prompts you to link to your Roku account, use your smartphone,
tablet, or computer to activate your Roku TV.

program in the same series.
85
Using the Roku Channel
Store
Only in connected mode
, either the Streaming Channels menu option or the Add
Channels s shortcut take you to the Roku Channel Store, where you can add new
subscription based and free streaming channels to your TV.
Tip:
Search for streaming channels by using the Search option, as explained in
Searching for something to watch. Use Roku Voice Search if you prefer. When you
use Voice Search, if your TV recognizes a channel name, it launches channel if you the
already have installed it. Otherwise, it offers to install it for you. At that point, you can
choose to install or cancel.
To make it easier to find what you want, the streaming channels in the Roku Channel
Store are categorized by topic. Press UP or DOWN to highlight the category you
want, and then press RIGHT to move the highlight into the grid of streaming channel
tiles.
When you find a streaming channel you want to add or learn more about, highlight it
and press to display more details.OK
• If the streaming channel you are adding is free, you can select Go to channel to
start watching it immediately.
• If there is a one-time or recurring fee associated with using the streaming
channel, you must agree to the terms and conditions, accept the fee, and—if
you created one when you activated your Roku TV, enter your Roku PIN code
to authorize the charges.
• If you already have a subscription to the channel—for example, you already
subscribe to Netflix or you receive HBO through your cable TV provider—you
must complete a different, simple authorization step to add the streaming
channel.
87
Customizing your TV
There are several things you can do to personalize your TV.
Add TV inputs
As you use your TV, you might find that you need to add a TV input tile that you did
not add during Guided Setup. 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 tile to a
different position in the grid, see Rearrange tiles.
Tip:
If you purchase and connect a Roku Smart Soundbar, TV automatically your Roku
controls all required sound settings, power, volume, and mute through your TV’s
remote control, and hides the HDMI port to which you connected it. If you want to
access the soundbar directly rather than through your Roku TV, you can add its HDMI
input to your Home screen.
88
Add streaming channels
You can add streaming channels by searching in the Roku Channel Store from any of
the following locations:
• Streaming channels option
• Search (including Roku Voice Search)
• Add Channels shortcut
New streaming channels are added to the bottom of the Home screen. If you want to
move the channel tile to a different position in the grid, see Rearrange tiles.
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 your Roku Streaming Stick or Roku Premiere.
Rename inputs
Rather than trying to remember that your Blu-ray™ player is connected to HDMI 1 and
your game console is connected to HDMI 3, you can rename the TV inputs to match
the connected device.
Note:
Renaming an input also changes the icon associated with it.
To rename an input, you can either:
• Highlight the input tile in 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.
89
Rather than using the predefined names and icons, you can set a custom name and
icon. To do so, scroll up or down to highlight Set custom name & icon, and then press
OK. Follow the instructions on the screen to enter a name and select an icon for the
input.
Press HOME to return to the Home screen. The new name and icon are now in
effect.
Remove unwanted tiles
It’s easy to remove unused TV inputs and unwanted channel or app tiles. For example,
if you never use the HDMI 3 input, or if you don’t like the weather app you added from
the Roku Channel Store, you can remove them from your Home screen.
Note:
You also can remove the Live TV tile if you never use the TV tuner. But be
aware that removing the Live TV tile also deletes the channel list. You’ll have to set up
the TV tuner again next time you want to vi . Instructions for setting up the ew live TV
TV tuner can be found in Setting up live TV .
• To remove any tile, highlight the tile in 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 tile, 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.
90
Rearrange tiles
When you add a TV input tile, it’s added at the top of your Home screen. When you
add a new streaming channel, it’s added at the bottom of your Home screen.
You can easily rearrange the order of the tiles on the Home screen to suit your
viewing preferences. For example, you might want Live TV to be the first tile in your
Home screen. But if you mostly watch one streaming channel, you might want its tile
to be the first one on your Home screen.
1. In the Home screen, highlight one of the tiles you want to move.
2. Press STAR to display a list of options for the type of tile you selected.
3. Select or Move input Move channel. The list of options disappears and the
highlighted tile shows arrows indicating how it can be moved.
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.
4. Use the purple directional pad to move the highlighted tile to its new position.
As you move the tile, it pushes other tiles out of its way.
5. Press OK to lock the tile into its new position.
6. Repeat these steps to move other tiles until you have arranged your Home
screen to your liking.
91
Change the look and feel with themes
Only in connected mode
, another way to customize your TV is to change its theme.
The theme establishes the look and feel of the TV through colors, designs, fonts,
wallpaper (background) and screensaver.
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 – S elect a screensaver of your choice.
• Seasonal themes – Turn seasonal themes on or off. When this feature is on,
Roku overrides your selected theme with a theme 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.
92
Edit live TV channel lineup
When you set up the TV tuner as described in Setting up ve TVli , the TV adds all the
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 lineup, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > TV
inputs > Live TV > Edit channel lineup. 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.
For each channel you want to hide, highlight it, and then press select its check OK to
box.
Tip:
If you need to view the highlighted channel to decide whether to hide it, wait a
couple of seconds for the TV to start playing the channel’s picture and sound. If
you’ve enabled parental controls and the program on the current channel is blocked,
you won’t see a picture or hear sound while editing the channel lineup.
Note:
Repeating the Live TV channel scan unhides all hidden channels.
93
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, in 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.
Configure power settings
Power settings let you configure features related to how your TV’s power settings
work.
Power on settings
Power on settings tell the TV what to do when you turn on the power. To configure
the power on settings, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System >
Power > Power on. Highlight the preferred power on location in the list, and then
press OK.
94
Auto power savings
To help you save energy, your TV can automatically turn itself off after a period of
inactivity or a period during which no signal has been detected. It is factory-
configured to do both of these things, but you can change these settings if needed.
To configure automatic power off, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings >
System > Power > Auto power savings. In the Power settings screen, highlight the
following options and press OK to turn them on or off:
• Reduce power after 15 minutes – If no video or audio activity and no user
interaction occur for 15 minutes, the TV automatically turns off the screen and
sound.
• Turn off after 4 hours – If no video or audio activity and no user interaction
occur for 4 hours, the TV goes into standby mode.
Standby LED On/Off
Normally, the status indicator is lit whenever the TV is in standby mode. If you prefer
the status indicator to not 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
Only in connected mode
, you can enable Fast TV start. As you might expect, Fast TV
start lets you start watching your TV almost instantly after turning it on. But it also
enables other convenient features, such as listen to certain music the ability to
channels with the TV screen off turn on and and the convenience of being able to
control your TV using voice commands.
Be aware that enabling Fast TV start makes your TV use somewhat more power
when it is powered off to standby mode.
95
Change caption settings
Captions settings are located under Settings > Captions.
Captions mode
• Off – No captions appear.
• On – Captions appear whenever they are available from the program source.
• On replay– Captions appear only when you use the replay feature, and only
when you are watching a streaming program that supports instant replay,

Some streaming channels require you to enable captions through a setting
within their channel even though you have turned on captions everywhere else.
Note:
Once enabled, the captions mode applies to all inputs that support captions and
remains enabled until you turn it off.
Captions preferred language
Select the language in which you want closed captioning to appear, when that
language is available. If your preferred language is not available, then captioning
reverts to the default language for the program, which usually is English.

96
Other caption settings
• Text style – Choose from a list of fonts. As you move the highlight to each font,
you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Text edge effect – Choose from a list of edge effect styles, such as raised,
depressed, and various shadows. As you move the highlight to each effect, you
can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Text size – Choose from a list of sizes. As you move the highlight to each size,
you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Text color - Choose from a list of colors for the text. As you move the highlight
to each color, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Text opacity - Choose from a list of opacity settings for the text. This setting
determines how much the area behind the text shows through the text. A value
of 100% blocks all of the content behind the text. As you move the highlight to
each setting, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
• Background color - Choose from a list of colors for the background area
behind the text. As you move the highlight to each color, you can see a sample
of the result in an adjacent panel. Note that you won’t see any change unless
you set the Background opacity to a value other than Off.
• Background opacity - Choose from a list of opacity settings for the
background of the caption. This setting determines how much the area behind

rectangle surrounding the entire caption. This setting determines how much
the area behind the caption window shows through the window. A value of
100% blocks all of the content behind the window. As you move the highlight
to each setting, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.
97
Customize the Home screen
If you prefer to not see shortcuts on the Home screen, you can hide them.
To hide shortcuts:
1. From the Home Screen menu, navigate to , and then Settings > Home screen
press RIGHT.
2. Select Shortcuts.
3. Highlight Hide, and then press OK.
Once hidden, you can restore shortcuts by following the same steps, replacing Hide
with Show.
98
Parental controls
Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can
view certain kinds of broadcast TV programs. When a program or feature is blocked,
you can unblock it by entering a parental control PIN that only you know.
Note:
Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming options,
if any, on the Home screen menu. Parental controls do not block content on other TV
inputs or content from streaming channels you add to your TV.
Creating a parental control PIN
The first time you access the screen, you must create a new Parental controls
parental control PIN. Thereafter, whenever you want to change parental control
settings, unblock programming that has been blocked, change the PIN, or disable
parental controls, you must enter your parental control PIN.
Tip:
Your parental control PIN has no connection to your Roku account PIN. You can
make them the same if you want—this is entirely your choice.
To create a new parental control PIN, from the Home screen menu navigate to
Settings > Parental controls. The screen displays a numeric keypad. Use the purple
directional pad to enter a four-digit code, and then press OK. Then repeat the process
to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want
to use.
Important:
If you forget your parental control PIN, the only way to recover is to
perform a factory reset operation, as explained in Factory reset everything .
Blocking Broadcast TV programs
For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast
signal to determine whether to allow a program to be displayed. Parents can
configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a
99
specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control
PIN is entered.
Note:
Rating standards differ by country.
Enabling parental control of TV programs
The first step in blocking TV programs is to enable parental control of TV programs.
This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of
TV programs on and off without disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are
going to summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone, you don’t want to
have to deal with unblocking programs that you want to watch by entering your
parental control PIN. All you need to do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV
programs are unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental controls again,
and all of your parental control settings are restored in a single operation.
To enable parental control of TV programs:
1. In the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then
enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Parental control of TV
shows.
3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not,
highlight it and press OK.
Blocking based on US TV ratings
Most broadcast US TV programs—other than movies contain rating data that —
enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want others to view.
The ratings are divided into two groups that function independently:
• Youth group – TV- - Y, TV Y7
• Main group – - - - - TV G, TV PG, TV 14, TV MA
Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular
level of content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you
unblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with a lower
100
rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the TV also blocks TV-14 and TV-
MA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also
unblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked.
Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For
example, you can block just coarse language in programs with a TV-PG rating. If you
do, then the TV also blocks programs with coarse language in the higher ratings (TV-
14 and TV- -MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV 14 ratings does not
unblock coarse language in TV-MA programs, but it does unblock coarse language in
TV-PG programs.
To block TV programs based on US television ratings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and
then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > TV ratings. Choose
among the following settings:
• Entire ratings – Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to
the right and select the first option that blocks the entire rating level (and
all higher rating levels).
• Individual content types – Highlight the rating that contains the content
type you want to block, and then select the content types you want to
block from among those listed. Remember that blocking a content type in
one rating blocks the equivalent content type in all higher rating levels.
Blocking based on US movie ratings
Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or
MPAA, so the ratings are known as MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie
rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want
others to see. The ratings are:
• G – General audiences
• PG – Parental guidance suggested
• PG- – 13 Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger
• R – Restricted
• NC- – 17 Not for age 17 or younger
101
Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like
TV ratings, blocking movies with a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher
rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a
lower rating.
Tip:
Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-
obsolete X rating, which can still occur in the program data of older movies.
To block movies based on MPAA ratings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and
then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV Tuner > Movie ratings.
3. Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level,
and all higher levels are automatically blocked.
Blocking based on Other ratings
Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when the TV
was manufactured. It does this by detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program
and then downloading the new table and displaying its rating in the Parental controls.
When the TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list
of rating types: Other ratings. If you see this option in the Parental controls screen,
you have tuned to a station that has implemented a new rating table. Once the new
rating table has been downloaded to the TV, it remains in the TV until it is factory
reset, and you can configure blocking based on the new ratings.
New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that
interact in the same ways as the built-in US TV and MPAA Movie ratings.
Tip:
If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with
its settings to understand how to use it.
103
Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and
unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
To block programs based on Canadian- French ratings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and
then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Canadian French
ratings.
3. Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level,
and all higher levels are automatically blocked.
Blocking unrated programs
Some broadcast TV programs and movies do not have an assigned rating, and are
considered to be “Unrated”. Whether or not such programs contain content that is
objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose to block such
programs.
To block all unrated broadcasts:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and
then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Block all unrated
programs.
3. Highlight Unrated programs and press . When blocking is enabled, the OK
adjacent padlock icon changes from unlocked to locked.
Tip:
Blocking programs that have not been assigned a rating does not block programs
that specifically have been assigned a US TV rating of “None” (for example a
broadcast of a local town council meeting). Programs that do not have an assigned
rating display Rating NA (for “not applicable,” meaning a rating is not needed).
In the absence of other ratings for a program, the parental controls do not consider
the MPAA US movie rating N/A (MPAA rating not applicable to this content) and NR
(applicable content not rated by the MPAA) to be ratings. In these cases, the TV
handles the program as though it is unrated, blocking the program if Unrated
programs blocking is enabled.
105
To watch the blocked program, you need to know the PIN code defined when you
enabled parental controls, as explained in Creating a parental control PIN .
1. Press OK to select Unblock. The Parental Control PIN pad appears.
2. Use the purple directional pad to enter your parental control PIN code, and
then press to select OK Unblock everything.
Tip:
To shield your parental control PIN from others in the room, press STAR
to
hide the highlighted number. When you hide the highlight, you will have to count key
presses to keep track of which number is selected.
After unblocking programs that have been blocked, all blocking is disabled for two
hours or until you turn off the TV.
106
Changing the parental control PIN
To change your parental control PIN:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and
then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, highlight Change PIN.
3. Move the highlight into the adjacent keypad, and then use the purple
directional pad to enter a four-digit code, and then press OK. Then repeat the
process to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered

audio formats if you connect HDMI ® cable between the TV’s ARC or eARC port
and the receiver’s ARC or eARC port.

Settings > Audio > S/PDIF and ARC option and select the audio format to use.

the best sound quality available in the programs you are watching, you can choose
another setting.

transcodes it to a compatible available format for the audio output (ARC,
eARC, or S/PDIF).
• Auto 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 Dol Dolby Digital Plus 7.1by MAT and , among
others.
• PCM-Stereo – Always outputs pulse-code modulated stereo, regardless of
input audio format.
• Dolby Digital – Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital.
