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 component to send its signal through its HDMI® connector. 
The connector labeled 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. 
Connecting headphones or analog sound bar to the TV 
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 TV Enhanced Remote Control 
Select Roku TVs come with the Roku TV Enhanced Remote Control. On these models, you can connect 
headphones to the jack on the left side of the Enhanced Remote Control. 
Tip: Inserting a plug in the remote control 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 control 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 control shortens the remote’s battery life somewhat.

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. For the best viewing experience, we recommend using a wireless router or access point  
that supports the following wireless networking standards, depending on your TV model: 
 For 1080i (HD) or 1080p (FHD) TV models: IEEE 802.11b/g/n 
 For 4K (UHD) models: IEEE 802.11 dual band 
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.

AC power 
Plug your TV into a power outlet. You can tell that the TV has power because the status light on the 
front of the TV lights up when the TV is off.  
Status light explains how the status indicator shows what is happening with the TV. 
Remote control batteries 
Open the back of your Roku TV remote control and insert the included batteries, observing the proper 
orientation as indicated in the battery compartment. Reattach the back cover.

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 control to turn on your TV.  
Note: Guided Setup 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 Factory reset everything. 
When you first turn on your TV, it will take a few seconds to get itself ready. You’ll notice the following 
things happening: 
1. The status light 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 light 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.

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 the Roku TV Enhanced Remote Control with Voice Search: A few 
moments after the Let’s get started screen appears, Guided Setup starts the pairing process for 
the Enhanced Remote Control with Voice Search. (You’ll know if you have this type of remote 
because it will have a headphone jack on its left side.) If the remote control 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 control four times in rapid succession. 
Repeat to disable Audio Guide. (The  button is located directly below the directional pad on the 
right side of the Roku remote control.) 
Note: If you enabled Audio Guide, choosing any language other than English disables it. 
2. Press the DOWN button on the remote control to highlight your preferred language, and then 
press OK or the RIGHT arrow button.

3. Some models have a country selection screen: =f you don’t see this screen, skip ahead to the next 
step. If you see this screen, select your country. 
 
Note: If you enabled Audio Guide, choosing any country other than United States disables it. 
4. Press OK or the RIGHT arrow on the remote control to go to the next screen: 
 
Note: Some models show the title Set up environment instead of First things first. 
5. Press OK to select Set up for home use. This is the right choice for enjoying your TV at home. It 
provides energy saving options as well as access to all features of the TV. 
Note: Store mode configures the TV for retail display and is not recommended for any other use. 
In store mode, some features of the TV are missing or limited. To switch from one mode to the 
other, you have to perform a factory reset as explained in Factory reset everything, and then 
repeat Guided Setup.
