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.
Pick your favorite streaming channels
- Find the entertainment you love. From the latest blockbuster movies to your favorite TV programs, with tons of live sports, a broad selection of music streaming channels, popular programming in a dozen international languages, 24×7 live news and so much more, your new Roku TV has your sweet spot. A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels.
Find live broadcasts and streaming TV programs in the Live TV Channel Guide
- Use the Live TV Channel Guide to see not only what’s on TV right now, but what will be on in the coming two weeks. And for many over-the-air programs, if you start watching the program after it is already in progress, or you see something you missed in the Live TV Channel Guide, you can use More Ways to Watch to find streaming channels where you can see the program from the beginning, find other episodes, or entire seasons of the program, if applicable.
Use Roku’s Smart TV experience to discover More Ways to watch
- Use this feature to find out how you can stream the program you are watching from the beginning, find more episodes of the program, discover similar programs and movies, and see the full description of the program.
Personalize your Home screen
- Put your favorite streaming channels and TV inputs front-and-center on the Home screen. No more flipping through inputs or wading through complicated menus. You can even customize the names of each input and move tiles around so your most-often-used devices and streaming channels are only a click away.
Search for your favorite movie, TV program, actor, or director
- Once you’re connected to the Internet, you can easily search across top streaming channels and live TV channels. Search by movie or TV program title, actor, or director—all from one place. Search by typing words or phrases using the on-screen keyboard or on your mobile device, or speak words or phrases in a conversational tone using Voice Search. Some channels and content require payment.
Receive a Roku Zone when you search by popular genres or subjects.
- A Roku Zone is a collection of relevant entertainment organized into browsable rows such as New Releases, Free, and Rent or Buy. On 4K TVs, include “4K” in your search to see 4K movies and programs in the 4K Movies & TV Zone.

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-to-75-ohm adapter (not provided) to adapt the twin-lead cable to a connection that is compatible with the TV’s antenna input. 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

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 resembling 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 processing by the TV. Additional details are provided in Choosing an audio format.

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 or Roku Voice Remote Pro. 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.

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 have both wired 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.

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 the buttons or features listed.

If your remote has a VOICE just below the purple pad, you have a Roku Voice remote.

Other devices

Mirror your phone or tablet

Only in connected mode, your TV has a feature called screen mirroring that lets you mirror your compatible smartphone 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 accept – Always accept mirrored content from the mobile device without additional prompting in the future for this device.
Accept – Accept mirrored content from the mobile device this time only. Prompt again next time this device attempts to mirror content.
Ignore – Do not accept mirrored content from the mobile device at this time. Prompt again next time this device attempts to mirror content.
Always ignore – 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 Never allow 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.
