Controlling other devices through CEC 
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) enables your TV and other CEC-compatible home entertainment 
components 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 
theater receiver. 
Discover connected CEC devices 
To discover CEC devices: 
1. Make sure that your CEC-compatible components are connected to the TV with a suitable High 
Speed HDMI® Cable that supports HDMI® ARC and CEC control. 
2. Turn on each component and make sure all components 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. 
3. 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  to see a 
complete list in a scrollable window. 
Enable HDMI® ARC 
HDMI® ARC is the audio return channel that is available on one of the TV’s HDMI® ports. The audio 
return channel enables you to send a Dolby Audio™ signal back to a home theater receiver that is also 
sending an audio and video signal into the TV. Using HDMI® ARC reduces the number of cables needed 
and optionally lets you control the volume and mute state of the receiver by enabling system audio 
control. 
HDMI® ARC is disabled by default. To enable HDMI® ARC, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings 
> System > Control other devices (CEC), and then highlight HDMI ARC. Press OK to enable or disable the 
feature. 
Note: Enabling HDMI ARC also enables System audio control. After enabling HDMI ARC, you can disable 
System audio control if you prefer.

Enable system audio control 
System audio control enables the TV remote control to change the volume and mute state of an 
amplifier or sound bar connected through HDMI®, and to display the external device’s volume and mute 
status in the TV’s on-screen display.  
The TV automatically turns off its internal speakers and sends volume and mute control signals to an 
external amplifier when all of the following are true: 
 System audio control is enabled on the TV. 
 The TV is connected to a CEC-compatible amplifier, it is powered on, and CEC discoverability is 
enabled. 
 The CEC-compatible amplifier’s HDMI® ARC connector is connected to the TV’s HDMI ARC 
connector with a suitable HDMI® cable. 
When the CEC-compatible amplifier is off, the TV automatically turns on its speakers (unless you have 
turned them off as described in Turning off the speakers) and resumes local control of volume and mute 
state. 
To enable or disable system audio control, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > 
Control other devices (CEC) and highlight System audio control. Press OK to enable or disable the 
feature. 
Enable 1-touch play 
1-touch play enables a component to control which TV input is active. For example, pressing Play on 
your Blu-ray™ player switches the TV to the Blu-ray™ input.  
1-touch play is disabled by default. To enable 1-touch play, in the Home screen menu, navigate to 
Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight 1-touch play. Press OK to enable or 
disable the feature. 
Enable system standby 
The system standby feature causes other components to power off when you power off your TV. 
Depending on the CEC System Standby implementation, it also might enable connected components to 
power off your TV when you power off the component. 
System standby is disabled by default. To enable system standby, in the Home screen menu, navigate to 
Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight System standby. Press OK to enable or 
disable the feature.

Restarting 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 startup screen for a 
few more seconds. When the restart operation completes, the TV displays the activity you selected in 
Power on settings. 
Resetting 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/video 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/video settings. Read the 
information on the screen to make sure you understand what the reset operation does. 
To proceed with the reset operation, press PLAY/PAUSE 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 Setup, reconnecting to the Internet, 
re-linking your Roku account, and reloading any streaming channels. You also must repeat Antenna TV 
setup 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 store mode to home mode (if you inadvertently selected store 
mode during Guided Setup). 
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 you 
understand what this reset operation does.   
						

							 
  Page 88  
  
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 Setup 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. 
Models with a RESET button 
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 Setup. See Guided Setup.  
Models without a RESET button 
1. On the TV panel (not the remote control) press and hold down the MUTE and POWER buttons. 
2. Unplug the TV power, and then plug it in while continuing to hold down the MUTE and POWER 
buttons. 
3. When you see the startup screen appear on the TV, release the buttons. 
4. Turn on the TV and proceed through Guided Setup. See Guided Setup.  
Network connection reset 
If you want to remove your network connection information without disturbing other settings, navigate 
from the Home screen to Settings > System > Advanced systems 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 and its association with your Roku account.  
After resetting your network connection, navigate from the Home screen to Settings > Network > Set up 
new connection to continue enjoying all of the benefits of your connected TV.

Changing your Roku Channel Store PIN preference 
When you created your Roku account, you were given the opportunity to create a PIN code and to 
specify when it must be used. If you created a Channel Store P=N and want to change it, or you don’t 
remember your P=N, or if you didn’t create a Channel Store +PIN and want to add one, you can easily 
make these changes. 
1. On a computer, tablet, or smartphone, use your web browser to go to https://my.roku.com. 
2. Enter your email address and password to sign in. After signing in, the My Account page 
appears. 
3. Under PIN Preference, click Update to open the Choose Your PIN Preferences page. 
4. Skip this step if you just want to change your PIN. Otherwise, choose the option your prefer 
from among those listed: 
 Require a PIN to make purchases or to add any item from the Channel Store. 
 Require a PIN to make purchases. 
 Do not require a PIN to make purchases. 
5. If you choose either of the first two options, enter your PIN twice in the appropriate boxes.  
6. Click Save Changes to save your changes and return to the My Account page. Note that your 
current setting is described under PIN Preference. 
Getting system updates 
If your TV is connected to the Internet and linked with a Roku account, it will automatically get updates 
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 your TV is not connected to the Internet, you can still get updates by using a USB flash drive. 
You can download an updated User Guide that matches your Roku TV software version from the Roku 
web site at:  
www.roku.com/support 
To determine your current Roku TV software version, go to Settings > System > About, and then press 
OK or navigate to the right.

Checking for updates on a connected TV 
=f 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 > System 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 system update. 
Note: Sometimes system 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 behavior of your TV after a 
system update. 
Getting updates on a non-connected TV 
If your TV is not connected to the Internet, you can still get system updates by using a USB flash drive 
and a computer with an Internet connection. 
To get a system update, navigate to Settings > System > System update: 
 
The System 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 What if = didn’t connect my 
TV?.

model, and then click Next.  
3. Click Download Software, and then save the file to the root 
folder of a standard USB flash drive.  
4. 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.  
5. Write down the code and the web address, and take this information back to your Internet-
connected computer.  
6. On the 12-digit code page, enter the code your TV displayed,

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. 
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. 
12- and 6-digit codes 
The USB update process uses a pair of codes to validate that you are authorized to install an update, and to ensure you are not attempting to install an old, unsupported version of the system software.
