Roku TCL TV S305 User Manual

										Page	63				More settings This	section	describes	the	features	and	settings	of	the	TV	that	were	not	covered	in	the	other	parts	of	this	guide.	Changing network settings If	needed,	you	can	change	your	network	settings	at	any	time.	For	example,	if	you	change	the	name	of	your	wireless	network	(its	SSID)	or	its	password,	you	will	need	to	change	your	TV’s	settings	so	that	it	can	continue	to	connect.	Also,	if	you	decided	not	to	connect	to	the	Internet	in	“Guided	Setup”	on	page	13,	you	can	use	Network	settings	to	connect	at	a	later	time.	To	change	network	settings,	from	the	Home	screen	menu,	navigate	to	Settings	>	Network,	and	then	press	the	RIGHT	arrow.	At	this	point,	you	can	choose	the	following	options:	• Update	connection	–	Press	OK	to	start	the	update	process.	The	TV	uses	your	current	network	information	to	reconfirm	the	wireless	network	connection,	the	local	network	connection,	and	the	Internet	connection.	• Set	up	new	connection	–	Press	OK	to	start	a	scan	for	wireless	networks.	Follow	the	on-screen	instructions	to	complete	the	network	connection.	For	help	with	setting	up	a	new	connection,	see	“Setting	up	your	TV”	on	page	15.		Changing time settings You	can	change	time	settings	to	suit	your	preferences.	You	can	find	the	following	settings	by	navigating	from	the	Home	screen	menu	to	Settings	>	System	>	Time:	• Sleep	timer	–	Set	a	time	delay	after	which	the	TV	will	automatically	shut	off.	This	setting	reflects	the	setting	you	can	make	in	the	Options	menu	from	any	TV	input,	as	explained	in	“Options	menu	settings”	on	page	39.	Note	that	the	sleep	timer	setting	is	not	input	specific.	• Time	zone	–	Select	whether	to	set	the	time	zone	automatically	or	manually,	and	if	set	manually,	select	your	current	time	zone.	Typically,	a	TV	connected	to	the	Internet	can	discover	its	own	time	zone	automatically,	and	a	TV	that	is	not	connected	to	the	Internet	must	be	set	manually.	Initially,	this	setting	is	made	when	you	set	up	the	TV	tuner,	as	explained	in	“Setting	up	Antenna	TV”	on	page	26.	Correct	time	zone	information	is	needed	to	correctly	display	program	data.		 
						

										Page	64				• Clock	format	–	Select	whether	to	display	time	in	a	12-hour	or	24-hour	format,	or	to	turn	off	time	display.	This	setting	is	available	only	on	TVs	that	are	connected	to	the	Internet.	Non-connected	TVs	do	not	display	the	time.	Scanning for broadcast TV channels again There	will	be	times	when	you	need	to	create	a	new	channel	list.	For	example,	you:	• Change	cable	providers		• Reorient	your	TV	antenna	• Move	to	a	different	city	with	different	channels	Whenever	you	need	to	update	your	TV	channel	list,	you	can	repeat	the	channel	scan.	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.		To	repeat	the	channel	scan,	from	the	Home	screen	menu,	navigate	to	Settings	>	TV	inputs	>	Antenna	TV	>	Scan	again	for	channels.	Then	select	Start	finding	channels	to	begin	the	channel	scan	process.	The	screens	and	options	that	appear	during	this	process	are	identical	to	those	described	in	“How	do	I	set	up	the	TV	tuner?”	on	page	26.		Using the TV in a home theater Your	TV	has	several	features	that	make	it	an	ideal	TV	for	a	home	theater.	But	you	might	not	notice	them	because	they	remain	in	the	background	until	you	decide	to	use	them.	Turning off the speakers When	you	use	your	TV	with	a	sound	bar	or	an	external	amplifier	and	speakers,	you’ll	probably	want	to	turn	off	the	internal	TV	speakers.		To	turn	off	the	TV’s	built-in	speakers,	in	the	Home	screen	menu,	navigate	to	Settings	>	Audio	>	TV	speakers	and	change	the	setting.	Tip:	The	TV’s	internal	speakers	can	be	enabled	and	disabled	automatically	as	needed	by	system	audio	control,	as	described	in	“Enabling	system	audio	control”	on	page	67.	The	internal	speakers	are	also	turned	off	when	you	use	the	headphone	jack.	 
						

										Page	65				Changing the audio mode The	TV	has	two	audio	modes,	accessed	by	navigating	in	the	Home	screen	menu	to	Settings	>Audio	>	Audio	mode:		• Stereo	–	Use	this	setting	for	internal	speakers,	headphones,	and	external	stereo	amplifiers	connected	through	HDMI®	ARC,	SPDIF	optical,	or	headphone	jack.	• Auto	–	Use	this	setting	to	automatically	detect	the	best	audio	setting	based	on	the	audio	stream	in	the	content	you	are	watching.	If	you	have	connected	the	TV	to	an	external	Dolby	Audio™	compatible	amplifier,	receiver,	or	sound	bar	through	HDMI®	ARC	or	SPDIF	optical,	the	TV	automatically	selects	the	appropriate	surround	sound	capabilities	of	the	device	based	on	the	characteristics	of	the	current	program.	Setting up a digital audio connection You	can	connect	the	TV	to	an	external	amplifier,	receiver,	or	sound	bar	by	using	either	of	these	two	connections:	• HDMI	ARC	–	The	HDMI®	Audio	Return	Channel	enables	the	TV	to	output	digital	audio	on	one	of	its	HDMI®	connectors.	The	connected	amplifier	can	also	function	simultaneously	as	an	input	source	to	the	TV,	if	needed.	To	use	the	ARC	capability,	you	must	connect	an	HDMI®	cable	from	your	amplifier’s	HDMI®	ARC	connector	to	the	HDMI	ARC	connector	on	the	TV.	You	also	must:	o Be	sure	your	HDMI®	cable	is	certified	by	HDMI®.	o Enable	HDMI	ARC	under	Settings	>	System	>	Control	other	devices	(CEC),	as	explained	in	“Enabling	HDMI®	ARC”	on	page	66.		• SPDIF	optical	–	The	TV	has	an	SPDIF	optical	connector	that	outputs	a	digital	audio	signal.	To	use	the	optical	output,	connect	a	TOSLINK	optical	cable	from	the	amplifier	to	the	Optical	or	SPDIF	connector	on	the	TV.		Note:	Dolby	Audio™	supporting	Dolby	Digital	Plus™	format	is	not	available	through	the	SPDIF	optical	output.	This	format	is	only	available	through	the	HDMI®	ARC	connection.	After	making	the	required	HDMI®	ARC	or	SPDIF	optical	connection,	go	to	Settings	>	Audio	>	S/PDIF	and	ARC	option	and	select	the	audio	format	to	use.		Note:	In	most	cases,	Auto	detect	is	the	best	option.	Other	settings	can	result	in	no	sound	when	the	content	you	are	viewing	does	not	contain	the	audio	stream	type	you	selected.		 
						

										Page	66				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.	Discovering 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	Þ	to	see	a	complete	list	in	a	scrollable	window.	Enabling 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.	 
						

										Page	67				Enabling 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”	on	page	64)	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.	Enabling 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.	Enabling 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.	 
						

										Page	68				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”	on	page	52.	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.

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	TCL	web	site	at:			http://tclusa.helpjuice.com/26914-home-theater-current-models	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 If	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.	 
						

										Page	71				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	“But	what	if	I	didn’t	connect	my	TV?”	on	page	25.	Otherwise,	if	you	can’t	connect	to	the	Internet,	select	I	can’t	connect,	and	then	follow	the	instructions	on	the	screen.	Here’s	a	summary:	1. On	an	Internet-connected	computer,	go	to	the	web	site	displayed	on	the	System	update	screen.		2. On	the	USB	Update	web	page,	select	the	correct	brand	and	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.		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	any	size	flash	drive	you	might	have.	  
						

										Page	72				6. On	the	12-digit	code	page,	enter	the	code	your	TV	displayed,	and	then	click	Next.		7.
