Network connection 
After you select Set up for home use, the TV prompts you to make a network connection. If your 
TV has both wired and wireless connections, you’ll see the following screen. 
 
6. Only models that display the Connect to the Internet screen: Make a selection:  
 Wireless connection – Highlight Set up new wireless connection and press OK. The TV 
prompts you through wireless setup. Skip ahead to the next step for help with the process. 
 Wired connection – Highlight Connect to wired network and press OK. The TV immediately 
attempts to connect to your wired network, your local network, and then the Internet. Go 
to Step 9 to continue with Guided Setup. 
 Connect to the Internet later – =f you don’t want to connect to the =nternet right now, you 
can skip this step and use the TV to watch broadcasts, 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 complete Guided Setup. 
7. On models that have wireless only, or models with both wired and wireless and you’ve selected 
Wireless: The TV scans for the wireless networks within range and displays them in order, with 
the strongest signals first. In addition to your own wireless signal, the TV might pick up signals 
from your neighbors.

Press the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the name of your wireless network, and then press 
OK to select it. 
Note: Some networks, such as those often found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other public places, 
require you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide identifying information before 
letting you connect to the Internet. If your Roku TV detects that you are connecting to such a 
network, it prompts 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 – =f you don’t want to connect to the =nternet right now, you 
can skip this step and use the TV to watch broadcasts, 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 networks within range. 
=f you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, you might need to adjust the 
location of your wireless router or 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. =f you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, 
this option displays the complete list. =f you still don’t see your network name, you 
might have your router configured to provide wireless service as a “private network.” 
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 – =f 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.  
Tip: Wireless networks that are password-protected display a “padlock” icon adjacent to the 
name. This icon enables you to know that you are going to be prompted to enter a password 
after you select that network. 
 
8. Only if you select a password protected wireless network: An on-screen keyboard appears. Use 
the keyboard to enter the network password.  
 
After you submit your wireless network password, the TV displays progress messages as it 
connects to your wireless network, your local network, and the Internet.

9. Only if your TV cannot get the correct time zone and current time from your network service 
provider: Use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight your time zone, and then press OK. 
 
Tip: Your TV needs to know the local time zone so that it can correctly display information about 
the program you are currently watching. If the TV is unable to automatically determine the local 
time zone, it prompts you to choose your time zone from a list.  
As soon as the TV is able to connect to the Internet, it downloads and installs its first software 
update, and then restarts. 
Tip: Your TV automatically checks for updates periodically. These updates provide new features 
and improve your overall experience with the TV. After an update, you might notice that some 
options have moved, and that there are new options or features. This User Guide describes 
version 7.6. To determine your current Roku TV software version, go to Settings > System > 
About after you complete Guided Setup. You can download an updated User Guide that matches 
your Roku TV software version from the Roku TV web site.

Activation 
After the TV restarts, it displays the Activation 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.  
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). 
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. 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.

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

are not using the input, select Nothing, and the input won’t appear on the Home screen.

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.
