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

computer to authenticate access to your account. You must use your Roku
TV remote to initiate the connection process. Streaming content might be
limited due to your geographic location or because of restrictions imposed
by the network host.
Go to support.roku.com for device compatibility information.
Let’s get started.
6
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) or HDMI IN (ARC) has the additional ability to use
the audio return channel to send digital audio to a receiver or sound bar, as explained
in Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar.
8
Connecting headphones or analog sound bar
You can connect headphones or an analog sound bar (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 sound bar to control the TV volume. To turn
off the TV’s built-in speakers, in 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 sound bar. 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 sound bar
You can enjoy Dolby Audio™ multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital
amplifier or sound bar (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 sound bar.
HDMI® ARC – Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC)
connector to the HDMI® input on your receiver or sound bar. This connection uses the
Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature of the HDMI® specification 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.
Preparing for Internet connectivity
If you want to watch streaming content and take advantage 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 4K models have wired in addition to 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
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:
Certain remote buttons and features vary by model. Your remote might not
have all buttons or features listed.
•
If your remote has a microphone button just below the purple pad, then you
have a Roku Voice Remote.
•
If your remote has a headphone jack on its left edge, then you have a Roku
Enhanced Voice Remote.

Guided Setup
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 Setup, which configures the TV before you
start to use it.
During Guided Setup, 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 Setup
To start Guided Setup, press the POWER button on the remote to turn on your TV.
Note:
Guided Setup normally runs only once, the first time you turn on your TV. If you
need to run Guided Setup again, you’ll have to perform a factory reset, as explained in

When you first turn on your TV, it will take a few seconds to get itself ready. You’ll
notice the following things happening:
1. The status indicator blinks every time the TV is busy doing something; in this
case it’s powering up and getting ready for you.
2. The power-on 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.
3. After a few seconds, Guided Setup starts.
20
Completing Guided Setup
Follow these steps to complete Guided Setup. At this point, you should be seeing the
Language screen.
1.
Only on models that have a Roku voice remote
: A few moments after the Let’s
get started screen appears, Guided Setup starts the pairing process for the
voice remote. (You’ll know if you have this type of remote because it will have
microphone or search button just below the down arrow on the purple pad.) If
the voice remote does not pair automatically, follow the instructions on the
screen to complete the pairing process.
Tip:
On TVs sold in the United States, if you are blind or visually impaired, you
can activate Audio Guide, a text- -to speech screen reader to help you navigate
the TV’s menus and commands. To enable the Audio Guide, press the
button
on the remote four times in rapid succession. Repeat to disable Audio Guide.

you through the connection process using your compatible smartphone or
tablet to provide the needed information. For more information, see Using your
TV in a hotel or dorm room.
Other options
• Connect to the Internet later – If you don’t want to connect to the Internet
right now, you can skip this step and use the TV to watch Antenna TV
channels, play games, and watch DVDs. When you’re ready to connect, it’s
easy. We’ll show you how in Benefits of connecting .
Note:
If you decide not to connect, Guided Setup skips ahead to setting up
the devices that you’ve connected to your TV. Jump ahead to Connect your
devices to continue.
• Scan again / Scan again to see all networks – The name of this option
depends on the number of wireless networks within range.
o Scan again appears if the list already shows all available wireless

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.
o Scan again to see all networks appears if there are more wireless
networks than the strongest ones it 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.”
25
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 to display an on-screen keyboard and use
it 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.

Activation
After the TV restarts, it displays the Activate your TV screen:
10. Using a compatible computer, tablet, or smartphone with an Internet
connection, go to the web address displayed on the screen and enter the code
that appears on your screen.
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 and purchasing entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and
convenient.
28
After you log in or create your Roku account, the link page suggests that you
select some streaming channels. After you confirm your selections, the TV gets
an acknowledgement, and then adds your preexisting and newly-selected
streaming channels to your Roku TV. This process is automatic and takes a few
moments—a little longer if you already have a lot of streaming channels to add.
Tip:
Streaming channels from all Roku streaming devices associated with your
account are synchronized periodically, so that all of your Roku streaming
devices have the same set of streaming channels (subject to compatibility with
the device).
Connect your devices
Next, Guided Setup 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.
29
11. Press OK or the arrow to proceed:RIGHT
12. 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. On each input that has a connected and active device, you can see
its picture and hear its sound.
13. Press the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the label you want to associate with
the input. If you are not using the input, select Nothing, and the input won’t
appear on the Home screen.
30
14. 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 custom 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 have specified a custom name for an input, you cannot use voice
commands to switch to that input. Voice commands can only switch among
inputs that use built-in names, such as “AV,” and “Cable Box,” and “DVR.” Voice
commands are available only in English language and only in the United States.
15. Repeat the previous step for each input.
You’re done with Guided Setup.
Note:
Some Roku TVs, depending on where you live and other factors, show you an
introductory video filled with some great hints and tips. If you’re not interested in
viewing this video, press on the remote to to the Roku TV Home screen.go
Whenever you press on the remote, the Home screen greets you.
From here, you can explore everything your TV has to offer. Press the arrow keys to
move around and press OK to select a highlighted item. We’ve designed the TV to
encourage you to explore, and you can probably figure out most of the capabilities
and settings on your own. If you have any questions or difficulties, you can find
answers and solutions in this guide.

you are watching. You can also replay the last few seconds again, or turn on closed
captions, if available.
Tip:
Some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live

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 user name and password.
To play streaming content, you add streaming channels to your Home screen. Use the
Streaming Channels option on the Home screen menu to go to the Channel Store,

Using the Roku
Channel 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.
What if I didn’t connect my TV?
What if you went through Guided Setup 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. Simply highlight and select the Connect
Now option to get started.
• Use the Connect and activate now option in the Settings menu. From the Home
screen menu, select Settings, then and then Network, Connect and activate now.
38
• If you want to start over from the beginning, use the Settings menu to do a
Factory reset, and then go through Guided Setup again. This time, choose your
home network when prompted.
39
Setting up Antenna TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you may also
want to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to
the ANT input. On your Roku TV, you watch broadcast TV in much the same way you
watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile—in this case, the Antenna TV
tile— from the Home screen.
The first time you select the Antenna TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting
up the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Antenna 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 Antenna 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 Antenna TV channel lineup
.
40
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 Antenna TV tile.
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.
41
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.
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 Antenna TV stations…
42
… 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.
43
8.
Only in connected mode
, you have the option of setting up Live TV Pause. The
topic 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.
Note:
You’ll have to repeat the channel scan if you remove and re-add the
Antenna TV tile from the Home screen or perform a factory reset. To repeat the
channel scan, go to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Scan again for channels
> Start finding channels.
Now, you’re ready to watch Antenna TV! While you’re watching, try the following tips:
• Press the UP and DOWN arrows to change channels.
• Press the LEFT arrow to display the channel list (non connected mode) or -
Smart Guide (connected mode), and then use the UP and DOWN arrows to
select a channel to watch. Or press REWIND or FAST FORWARD to jump

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.
Only in connected mode
on TVs that do not have an Energy Star® rating, you can
optionally enable Fast TV start. When this option is enabled, your TV starts up almost
immediately regardless of how long it has been turned off, but uses somewhat more
power in standby mode. For more information, see Fast TV start.

More Ways to Watch (U.S. only)
Only in connected mode in the United States
, More Ways to Watch gives you
recommendations about the shows you’re watching on the Antenna TV, HDMI, or AV
input. You will automatically get these recommendations in the Smart Guide and in

must opt into the Smart TV experience to acknowledge that you want to allow the TV
to use automatic content recognition (ACR). See Opting in to Smart TV experience
for details.
Not every show provides recommendations. For details about what you’ll see when a
recommendation appears, see Using More Ways to Watch.
Using More Ways to Watch
As you use More Ways to Watch, be aware that you’ll only see suggestions on your
TV when all of the following conditions are met:
• Your TV is operating in connected mode in the United States.
• If you are watching shows through and HDMI or AV input, you’ve enabled
Smart TV experience. (If you are watching Antenna TV channels, this setting
does not matter.)

More Ways to Watch.
• At least one participating streaming channel offers the movie or TV show you
are watching, or other episodes, or more shows like the one you are watching.
If all of these conditions are met, you can view the suggestions. More Ways to Watch
recommendations appear in several places:
• When watching the HDMI and AV inputs, you’ll see a More Ways to Watch
notification in the lower right corner of the screen for a few seconds unless you
have disabled Enable auto notifications.

any program that shows a purple asterisk next to its title:
Regardless of which More Ways to Watch prompt appears, press to see the
recommendations. The options you’ll see depend on the type of show you’re
watching and the available ways there are to watch, so you might see any or all of the
following:
59
• Watch from beginning – Streaming channels on which the same TV show or
movie is available. Generally, this option does not appear on first run programs,
because streaming content is not available until a later date.

where you can select and watch the program. Otherwise, it prompts you to add the
channel and, if you do, then takes you to the show.
60
Getting the most from More Ways to Watch
• Streaming channels you’ve already installed appear first in the list of
suggestions.
• When you select a streaming channel, you leave the program you are currently
watching.
• If you’ve used the Live TV Pause feature to pause the program, your paused
program buffer is deleted. In other words, you cannot return to an Antenna TV
channel and resume watching where you left off.

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.
64
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.
Getting your Roku TV on line on a restricted public network
1. Either during Guided Setup or after using the Settings > Network menu to set
up a new connection, the TV automatically detects that you are connecting to
a restricted network and displays the following prompt:
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.)
Note:
Device connect is not present if the TV is in non-connected mode.
65
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 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 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
number to proceed. The information requested depends on the organization
that controls the wireless connection.
66
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 complete the pairing operation and activate your Roku
TV.

Direct- -to playback search results (U.S. only)
With direct- -to playback, voice search results jump directly to and start playing the
program whenever your search command can be uniquely identified and the
requested content is available at no additional cost to you.
1
Searching from the Roku mobile app
Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone 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. You also can search by touching
the Voice Search icon and saying the name of the movie, TV show, actor, streaming
channel, or game, or,
only in the United States
, director name or genre.
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 program.
For more information, see Roku mobile app.
Searching for free content
As you’ll discover, there is a lot of content available through your Roku TV, and much
of it is free.
Only in the United States
, you can easily find free content by including the
word “free” in your search. For example:
• Roku Voice Remote or 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 shows on Roku,” or “Hey Google, show me free
documentaries on Roku.”
• Amazon Alexa—Say “Alexa, show me free miniseries on Roku” or “Alexa, show
me free dramas on Roku.”
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.
98
Tip:
New streaming channels are added continuously to the Roku Channel 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.

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 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, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs
screen, select the input you want to rename, select Rename, and then choose a
new name and icon from the provided list.
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 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 Antenna TV tile if you never use the TV tuner. But be
aware that removing the Antenna TV tile also deletes the channel list. You’ll have to
set up the TV tuner again next time you want to view Antenna TV. Instructions for
setting up the TV tuner can be found in Setting up Antenna TV.
• To remove any tile, highlight the input tile in the Home screen, and then press
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 from the Home screen, navigate to
Settings > TV inputs TV inputs. On the screen, select the input you want to
remove, and then select Remove > Confirm. Then press to return to the
Home screen.
102
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 Antenna 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. From the Home screen, highlight one of the tiles you want to move.
2. Press 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

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, 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 on TV models that are not Energy Star certified

Configure 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 nothing to do with your Roku account PIN. You can
make them the same if you want—this is entirely your choice.

to write it down in a safe place just in case.
Blocking Broadcast TV shows
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
specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control
PIN is entered.
Note:
Rating standards differ by country.
119
What happens when a TV show is blocked?
After you’ve set up parental controls, TV shows and movies can be blocked:
• When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose
rating exceeds your settings.
• When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and its rating
exceeds your settings.
When a program is blocked by parental control settings, the TV displays a blocked
message:
Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and audio of the show are
blocked, as well as program data that would normally appear in the area at the
bottom of the screen.
120
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 and display a PIN pad.
