This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Sudden high volume sound may cause hearing or speaker damage. When you use headphones, (if the unit is
equipped with a headphone jack) keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use headphones continuously with
high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect and shall remain readily operable.

CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room
or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, unit's performance will be impaired. To prevent
this, let the unit stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room
temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such
cases, change the location of the unit.
HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin
inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes
or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel for long periods of time,
the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This
type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is
displaying the following formats or images:
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3)
display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display
(black bars on left and right sides of screen).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim any responsibility
for these symptoms.
• LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes parts of the
screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.
• Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that produces electromagnetic waves. Some equipment placed
too near this unit may cause interference.
• Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless
headphones.

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.
“Watching broadcast TV channels” on page 29 explains how to use the remote control in each of the TV’s operating
modes.

How to install batteries
1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Install two “AAA” batteries (supplied).
3. IMPORTANT NOTE: Carefully match (+) and (-) indication
on the battery with the (+) and (-) inside the battery
compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when using batteries in this device:
• The batteries may last approximately one year depending on how much the remote control is used. Replace batteries
when the remote operation becomes erratic.
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed
batteries may cause damage to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline, Carbon-zinc or Rechargeable) or old batteries with fresh
ones.
• If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible
battery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery
manufacturer’s directions.)
• Please use caution when inserting batteries to avoid battery damage. If the spring terminal in the remote control
remains in contact with a side of a damaged battery it can cause a short circuit. Never use damaged batteries as they
can become very hot and are dangerous.
• Never expose batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Panel buttons
The controls on the TV enable you to perform simple functions, but are not a substitute for the
remote control. Your TV has seven buttons on the side. From top to bottom, they perform the
following functions:
•

Channel +: Moves the highlighted item up in the current menu.

•

Channel –: Moves the highlighted item down in the current menu.

•

Volume +: Increases the volume.

•

Volume –: Decreases the volume.

•

•

Power: Turns the power on and off.

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.
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” on page 62.

Starting Guided Setup
To start Guided Setup, press the POWER button on the remote control to turn on your TV.
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
displays the Hitachi Roku TV logo while the TV starts up.
3. After a few seconds, Guided Setup starts:

Tip: On TVs sold in the United States, if you are blind or visually impaired, you can activate the 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 the Audio Guide. (The  button is located directly below the directional pad on the right side of the
Roku remote control.)

For more information on using the Audio Guide and adjusting its settings, see Configure accessibility on page
47.
4. Press the DOWN button on the remote control to highlight your preferred language.

Setting up your TV
With the first Guided Setup screen on your TV, follow these steps to set it up:
1. Press OK or the RIGHT arrow on the remote control to go to the next screen:

2. Press OK to select Set up for home use. Home mode 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” on page 62 , and then repeat the Guided
Setup.
After you select Set up for home use, the TV prompts you to select the way you want to connect to the Internet.

3. Make a selection:
•

Wireless connection – Highlight Set up new wireless connection and press OK. The TV prompts you through
wireless setup. Go to Step 4 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 8 to continue with Guided
Setup.

•

Connect to the Internet later – If you’re unable to connect to the Internet, that’s OK. You can skip this step
and use the TV to watch broadcasts, play games, and watch DVDs. If you want to connect later, it’s easy. We’ll
show you how in “Benefits of connecting” on page 22.
Note: If you decide not to connect, Guided Setup skips ahead to setting up the devices that you’ve connected to your TV. See “Non-connected Home screen” on page 21 to get started using your non-connected TV.
Note: Some networks, such as those often found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other public places, may
require you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide identifying information before letting
you connect to the Internet. If the 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“ on page 35.

4. After you select Set up new wireless connection, 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.

5. Press the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the name of your wireless network, and then press OK to select it.
Other options:
•

Scan again / Scan again to see all networks – 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. If 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.

Scan again to see all networks appears if there are more wireless networks than the strongest ones
it initially listed. If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, this option displays the complete list. If 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 – If 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.

6. If you select a wireless network that is password-protected, an on-screen keyboard appears. Use the keyboard to
enter the network password.
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.

7. 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.
8. Your TV needs to know the local time zone so that it can correctly display time 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. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight your time zone, and then press OK.

9. 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 Owner’s Guide describes version 7.5. To determine your current
Roku TV software version, go to Settings > System > About after you complete Guided Setup.
You can download an updated Owner’s Guide that matches your Roku TV software version from the Hitachi
Roku TV web site at:
www.hitachi.us/tv

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
all of your Roku streaming devices have
the same 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.
Important: When you set up a Roku account, you must
register a payment method. Adding a payment method
now lets you easily rent or buy movies on demand,
or try popular paid subscription or transaction-based
streaming channels. You won’t be charged unless you
agree to the terms and cost of the content. If you are
concerned about unauthorized charges, you can set up
a PIN that you must enter to authorize each charge.

After it adds your selected streaming channels, the TV helps you set up the devices that you’re connecting to it,
such as a cable box, Blu-ray player, or game console:

11. Press the OK or RIGHT arrow to proceed:

12. Connect all the devices you plan to use with your TV, turn them all on, and then select 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 and active device, you can see its picture and hear its
sound.

13. Press the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the label you want to associate with the input, and then press OK to
move on to the next input.
You’re done with Guided Setup.

Note: Some Roku TVs, depending on where you live and other factors, show you an introductory video filled with
some great hints and tips. If you’re not interested in viewing this video, press
on the remote control to exit to
the Roku TV Home screen.
When you finish Guided Setup, and whenever you press

on the remote control, the Home screen greets you.

From here, you can explore everything your TV has to offer. Press the arrow buttons to move around, and press OK to
select a highlighted item. We’ve designed the TV to encourage you to explore, and you can probably figure out most of
the capabilities and settings on your own. If you have any questions or difficulties, you can find answers and solutions in
this guide.
If you find yourself a long way from the Home screen, you can always get back right away by pressing one button:

Streaming is viewing or listening to video or audio content that is sent over the Internet, or located on a network-connected media server or on a USB device plugged into the TV’s USB port.
With streaming, you can buy or rent most programs on demand, when it’s convenient for you. When streaming, you can
play, pause, rewind, and fast forward whatever you are watching. You can also replay the last few seconds again, or turn
on closed captions.
Tip: Some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live programming or a program
that is supported by ads, you generally are not allowed to skip the ads.
Your Roku TV lets you choose from thousands of streaming channels that offer a huge selection of entertainment:
•

Thousands of movies and TV episodes

•

Unlimited music, live and on-demand

•

Tons of live and on-demand sports

•

Commercial-free kids programming

•

International programming in 22 languages

•

24x7 news and in-depth news commentary

Many streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels, like Cineplex and Amazon Video, let you purchase or rent
the latest movie releases or popular TV series. Some channels such as Netflix or Spotify charge a monthly subscription
fee and others are available at no additional cost if you subscribe to a companion service through your cable or satellite
provider. For example, HBO subscribers with participating broadcast TV provider accounts can add the HBO Go channel
and watch it at no additional cost.
If you have an existing subscription to a service like Netflix or Spotify, you can just sign in with your existing user name
and password.
To play streaming content that is available on the Internet, you add streaming channels to your Home screen. To add
a streaming channel to your Home screen, use the Streaming Channels option on the Home screen menu to go to the
Roku Channel Store, and then select the streaming channel you want to add. The streaming channel is then added to
your Home screen, and you can watch it at any time.
For more information on using the Roku Channel Store feature, see “Using the Roku Channel Store” on page 46.
Note: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels. Channel availability is subject to
change and varies by country. Not all content is available in countries or regions where Roku products are sold.

But what if I didn’t connect my TV?
What if you went through Guided Setup and chose Connect to the Internet later? No worries. Your Roku TV makes it
easy to connect whenever you want. As you move around the Home screen, you’ll see several places where you can start
the connection process. For example:
•

Now and then you’ll see a message appear on the panel to the right of the Home screen offering a Connect Now
option. Simply highlight and select the Connect Now option to get started.

•

Use the Connect and activate now option in the Settings menu. From the Home screen menu, select Settings,
then Network, and then Connect and activate now.

•

If you want to start over from the beginning, use the Settings menu to do a Factory reset, and then go through
Guided Setup again. This time, choose your home network when prompted.

Regardless of how you connect, the process is the same. If you need details, see “Setting up your TV” on page 14.

Setting up Antenna TV
Despite all of the entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you may also want to watch broadcast TV. You can watch
broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile—the Antenna TV tile—
from the Home screen.
The first time you select the Antenna TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV tuner scans for active
channels and adds them to your broadcast TV channel list.

Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
You might be asking, “Why is this step necessary?” Good question.
Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided by a cable or satellite company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes use an HDMI connection.
More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or cable/satellite service. If you
don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead remove it from the Home screen as explained in “Remove unwanted tiles” on page 48.
When you set up Antenna TV, the TV scans the signals on its antenna input for channels with a good signal, and adds
those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a very weak signal.
The TV will, however, let you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal. You might need to add these channels
if you have an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4. These are
the only channels that can be added regardless of whether they have a good signal. Typically, you’ll only need one of
these channels, but both are provided to make setup simpler. You can hide the one you don’t want as explained in “Edit
broadcast TV channel lineup” on page 48.

How do I set up the TV tuner?
Setting up the TV tuner is easy—your TV does most of the work. You just have to answer a couple of questions.
1. Make sure your antenna (sold separately) or TV cable is connected to the TV’s AIR/CABLE input.
2. On the Home screen, select the Antenna TV tile.
3. Read the simple on-screen instructions and select Start finding channels.

4. If prompted, select your time zone. You’ll only need to do this if the TV can’t figure out your time zone from your
Internet connection.

Why does the TV
need my time
zone?
The TV needs to know
your time zone so that
it can correctly display
time information about
the program you are
currently watching.

5. When prompted, select whether to add analog channels 3 and 4 (to enable you to connect older set top boxes,
VCRs, or game consoles).

6. Wait while your TV scans for broadcast (antenna TV) stations…

… and then cable TV channels.

Scanning for channels can take several minutes.
Tip: Cable TV channels are channels from a cable TV provider that you can receive by connecting their cable
directly to your TV (unscrambled NTSC, ATSC, and QAM channels, if you’re the kind of person who is interested in the details). In many cases, your cable provider probably requires you to use their set-top box and
connect it to a different input, and then use the set-top box to tune your cable stations. In that case, you can
skip scanning for cable channels.
7. When the channel scans finish, the TV shows the number of channels it added.

8. If you connected your TV to the Internet, you have the option of setting up Live TV Pause. “Pausing Live TV“ on
page 31 explains how to set up and use this feature. If you don’t want to set up Live TV Pause, or if this option
is not available to you, select Done to start watching Live.
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. Your antenna reception and picture quality depend on the position of your antenna
and on your location relative to the antennas of broadcasters in your area.
Note: You’ll have to repeat the channel scan if you remove the Antenna TV tile from the Home screen or perform
a factory reset. To repeat the channel scan at any time, go to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Scan again for
channels > Start finding channels.
Now, you’re ready to watch broadcast TV! While you’re watching, try the following:
•

Press the UP and DOWN arrows to change channels.

•

Press the LEFT arrow to display the channel list and then use the UP and DOWN arrows to select a channel to
watch. Or press REWIND or FAST FORWARD to jump through the channel list a page at a time.

•

Press OK to display information about the current program.

•

Press

•

Press  to see options for picture and sound settings.

to switch to the previously tuned channel.

Note: If is not available on your remote control, you can use on the Roku App or the Jump Back button on a
universal remote. For more information, see “Other devices” on page 66.

Playing content from local network media servers
If you have connected your TV to a network, it can play personal video, music, and photo files from a media server on
your local network. Media servers include personal computers running media server software such as Plex or Windows
Media Player, network file storage systems that have built-in media server software, and other devices that implement
the specifications of the Digital Living Network Alliance. Some servers do not fully implement the DLNA specification but
are UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) compatible. The Roku Media Player will connect to them as well.
Some media servers can convert files into Roku compatible formats. DRM-protected content is not supported.

Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room
Hotels, school dorms, conference facilities, and similar locations with public wireless Internet access often require you to
interact with a web page to authenticate your access. These restricted public networks are commonly known as captive
portal networks. When you select a network of this type, the TV automatically detects that additional information is
needed and prompts you through using another wireless device to supply the requested information.
Tips:
•

Using your Roku TV on a hotel or dorm room network requires wireless availability and use of your network-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to authenticate access to your wireless access point

•

Your TV must already be running software version 7.0 or later. You can find the version number by navigating from the Home screen to Settings > System > About. If it is running an earlier software version,
you must use a non-restricted network to link and activate the TV, and then update the software to
version 7.0.

•

Be sure to bring your Roku TV remote control, because the Remote feature of the Roku mobile app may
not work when connected to a hotel or dorm room network.

•

Content might be limited or unavailable if you try to connect outside your home country due to geo-filtering.

To connect your TV to the restricted network:
1. Either during Guided Setup or after using the
2.

menu to set up a new connection, the TV automatically detects that you are connecting to a restricted network
and displays the following prompt:

Tip: Your TV can connect to a restricted network only if Device connect is enabled in Settings > System >
Advanced system settings. (Device connect is enabled by default, but if you have disabled it, the TV cannot
complete the connection.)
Note: Device connect is not present if the TV is in non-connected mode.
3. After selecting the correct network, highlight I am at a hotel or college dorm, and then press OK. The TV
prompts you to use your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to complete the connection.

4. Use a phone, tablet, or wireless-enabled computer to detect wireless networks. In most cases, you can simply
open the device’s Wi-Fi Settings or Network Settings screen to start scanning.
Note: The phone, tablet, or computer must be on the same wireless network to which you are connecting the
TV.
5. Connect to the network named on your TV screen. The actual network name varies.
Note: The previous step connects your smartphone, tablet, or computer directly to the TV. No connection
charges apply and the connection does not impact your device’s data plan.
6. The wireless connection process prompts you for a password. Enter the password as shown on the TV screen.
The actual password varies.
7. Start the web browser on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. When you attempt to open any web page, the
restricted connection will prompt you for whatever information it needs. In most cases, you must agree to terms
and conditions, provide identifying information, or enter a password, PIN, or room number to proceed. The information requested depends on the organization that controls the wireless connection.
8. After you enter the requested information, the TV automatically proceeds to complete its connection and resumes normal operation.
9. If the TV prompts you to link to your Roku account, use your smartphone, tablet, or computer to complete the
pairing operation and activate your Roku TV.

You can limit Roku’s tracking of your usage behavior by limiting ad tracking. When you do, your TV will display ads that
are not personalized based on your TV’s advertising identifier.
To limit ad tracking:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Privacy.
2. Highlight Limit ad tracking. Press  to view more information about this option. When you finish reading the
information, press OK to close the More Information window.
3. Press OK to select the Limit ad tracking option.
Note: If you perform a factory reset and then reconnect your TV, ad tracking is restored until you repeat these steps.

My Feed
Use My Feed to find out when you can watch movies coming soon, and to get updates on movies, TV shows, and actors
that you are following.

Movies Coming Soon
My Feed gives you updates on your list of movies that are coming soon to theaters. With My Feed, you’ll know when
your favorite movie is ready to stream, the channels it is on, and how much it will cost.
Select the movies you want to follow by going to My Feed > Movies Coming Soon. You’ll then see a list of newly released
movies that are not yet available for streaming. Select a movie, and then select Follow this movie on Roku. When you
return to the main My Feed screen, you’ll see banners for each of your newly-followed movies along with banners for
movies and TV shows you’re already following.

Movies, TV shows, and people
In addition to following movies coming soon, you can follow any movie, TV show, or actor across top streaming channels.
To follow a program, use the Search feature to find the movie, TV show, or name that you want to follow, and then select
Follow this movie/TV show/person on Roku. For more information, see “Searching for something to watch” on page
44.
Note: The TV takes a bit of time to update your newly-followed shows. Until it finds at least one channel offering
the movie, the content banner in My Feed shows Check back later for updates.
My Feed alerts you any time a movie or TV show you are following becomes available on another channel and whenever
its price changes. A number in parentheses next to My Feed in the Home menu means that My Feed has updated information that you haven’t viewed yet. For example, you if three of your followed shows have updates, you’ll see My Feed
(3).
Note: When a movie or TV show you are following becomes available, the streaming channel offering the movie
might require that you subscribe or pay a fee to view it.
Tip: My Feed is available only if your TV is connected to the Internet.

Searching for something to
watch
Searching for movies and shows across multiple streaming channels is one of the unique features of your Hitachi Roku
TV. Within a single search operation, you can search by:
•

Movie name

•

TV show name

•

Actor or director name

•

Streaming channel name

•

Game name
Tip: Roku Search is available only if your TV is connected to the Internet.
Note: Roku Search doesn’t search across all streaming channels, but searches across lots of popular streaming
channels. The actual channels it searches vary by locale, but include popular providers such as Netflix and several
others, with more being added all the time.

You can check which streaming channels are included in Roku Search by going to the Search screen, clearing all previous
searches to reveal the search instructions, and then watching the channel tiles cycle at the bottom of the screen.
To search, select Search on the Home screen menu. The Search screen has a keyboard grid and initially displays instructions—a set of icons representing search categories and a list of participating provider tiles.
Tip: If you don’t see the instructions, navigate to the end of the list of recent searches and select Clear recent
search selections.

How do I search?
To search, use the arrow buttons to navigate the on-screen keyboard, entering a few characters of the search term. With
each additional character you enter, you narrow down the search and the search results become more relevant.
Tip: Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make searching even faster. Not
only can you use your device’s keypad to type, you can search simply by touching the voice search icon and saying
the name of the movie, TV show, actor or director, channel, or game.
An icon next to each search result shows the category of the result (movie, TV show, actor).
•

Press the RIGHT arrow to move the highlight into the list of search results.

•

Press the UP and DOWN arrows to scroll through the list of search results to highlight the item you want to view.

I found a show, now what?
Now that you’ve highlighted the show, movie, actor, game, or streaming channel you were looking for, press the RIGHT
arrow.
If your search result was an actor, director, or other item that does not represent a single item of content, you’ll see another list to narrow down your search. Continue highlighting results and pressing the RIGHT arrow until you find a single,
viewable content item.
•

An HD logo means that the content is available in high-definition.

•

The checked circle adjacent to the title means you have already added the streaming channel.

If your search result was a game or a streaming channel, you’ll see detailed information, images, and available actions,
such as a list of streaming channels and the cost of getting the item or channel.
Note: Some channels may require a paid subscription.

Follow on Roku
Rather than watch the show you found in Search, you can add it to My Feed and wait until it’s available on a particular
streaming channel or available at a better price. From the search results screen, select Follow on Roku. Then go to My
Feed periodically to check for updates to each of your followed movies, TV shows, or people. For more information, see
“My Feed” on page 43.

Recent Searches
The next time you use Roku Search, the Search screen displays a list of recent search selections in place of the search
instructions.
Using the recent search selections list makes it easy to quickly get to a previously found item, for example, to find another movie with the same actor, or another TV show in the same series.

Using the Roku Channel Store
The Streaming Channels menu option takes you to the Roku Channel store, where you can add new paid and free
streaming channels to your TV.
Tips:
•

The Streaming Channels menu option is available only if your TV is connected to the Internet.

•

You also can search for streaming channels by using the Search option, as explained in “Searching for
something to watch” on page 44.

To make it easier to find what you want, the streaming channels in the Roku Channel Store are categorized by topic. Press
the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight the category you want, and then press the RIGHT arrow to move the highlight into
the grid of streaming channel tiles.
When you find a streaming channel you want to add or learn more about, highlight it and press OK to display more details.
•

If the streaming channel you are adding is free, you can select Go to channel to start watching it immediately.

•

If there is a one-time or recurring fee associated with using the streaming channel, you must agree to the terms
and conditions, accept the fee, and—if you created one when you activated your Roku TV, enter your Roku PIN
code to authorize the charges.

•

If you already have a subscription to the streaming channel—for example, you already subscribe to Netflix or you
receive HBO through your cable TV provider—you must complete a different, simple authorization step to add
the streaming channel.

You only have to complete the authorization or activation step one time, when you initially add the streaming channel.
After that, you simply select the streaming channel tile from your Home screen to start watching. (Channel and content
availability is subject to change. Charges may apply to your selection.)
Tip: New streaming channels are added continuously, so be sure to check back every now and then.
Note: If you don’t remember your PIN, or if want to change whether you need to use a PIN to make purchases on
your Roku account, see “Changing your Roku Channel Store PIN preference” on page 63.

Customizing your TV
There are several things you can do to personalize your TV.

Rearrange tiles
Whenever you add a TV input tile, it’s added at the top of your Home screen. Whenever you add a new streaming channel from the Roku Channel Store, it’s added at the bottom of your Home screen.
You can easily rearrange the order of the tiles on the Home screen to suit your viewing preferences. For example, you
might want Antenna TV to be the first tile in your Home screen. But if you mostly watch one streaming channel, you
might want its tile to be the first one on your Home screen.
Rearranging tiles is easy:
1. From the Home screen, highlight one of the tiles you want to move.
2. Press  to display a list of options for the type of tile you selected.
3. Select Move input or Move channel. The list of options disappears and the highlighted tile shows arrows indicating how it can be moved

Note: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels. Channel availability is
subject to change and varies by country. Not all content is available in countries or regions where products with Roku OS are sold.
4. Use the arrow buttons to move the highlighted tile to its new position. As you move the tile, it pushes other tiles
out of its way.
5. Press OK to lock the tile into its new position.
6. Repeat these steps to move other tiles until you have arranged your Home screen to your liking.

Edit broadcast TV channel lineup
When you set up the TV tuner as described in “Setting up Antenna TV” on page 25, the TV adds all the channels with
good signals that it could detect in your area. It’s likely that you now have more channels than you want in your channel
list.
To edit the channel lineup, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Edit channel lineup.
You’ll see a screen listing all of your channels. Adjacent to the list of channels is a miniature TV screen playing the highlighted channel’s picture and sound.

Highlight each channel you want to hide, and then press OK to hide the channel.
Tip: If you need to see or hear the highlighted channel, wait a couple of seconds for the TV to start playing the
channel’s picture and sound. Also note that if you’ve enabled parental controls and the program on the current
channel is blocked, you won’t see a picture or hear sound while editing the channel lineup.

Rename inputs
Rather than trying to remember that your Blu-ray player is connected to HDMI 1 and your game console is connected to
HDMI 3, you can rename the TV inputs to match the connected component.
Note: Renaming an input also changes the icon associated with it.
To rename an input, you can either:
•

Highlight the input tile in the Home screen, and then press  to display a list of options. From the list of options,
select Rename input. Then select a new name and icon.

or
•
Press

From the Home screen, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs screen, select the input you want to
rename, select Rename, and then choose a new name and icon from the provided list.
to return to the Home screen. The new name and icon are now in effect.

Remove unwanted tiles
It’s easy to remove unused TV inputs and unwanted channel or app tiles. For example, if you never use the HDMI 3 input,
or if you don’t like the weather app you added from the Roku Channel Store, you can remove them from your Home
screen.

Note: You also can remove the Antenna TV tile if you never use the TV tuner. But be aware that removing the Antenna TV tile also deletes the broadcast TV channel list. You’ll have to set up the TV tuner again next time you want to
view broadcast TV. Instructions for setting up the TV tuner can be found in “Setting up Antenna TV” on page 25.
•

To remove any tile, highlight the input tile in the Home screen, and then press  to display a list of options. From
the list of options, select Remove input. In the screen that follows, confirm you want to remove the input.

•

Alternatively, to remove a TV input tile from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs
screen, select the input you want to remove, and then select Remove > Confirm. Then press
to return to the
Home screen.

Change themes
Another way to customize your TV is to change its theme. The theme establishes the look and feel of the TV through
colors, designs, and fonts.
Tip: Themes are available only when your TV is connected to the Internet. Some themes require payment.
To change the theme, in the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Themes. In the Themes screen, choose from the
following options:
•

My themes – Highlight a theme, and then press OK to switch to that theme.

•

Custom settings – Turn Featured themes on or off. When Featured themes is on, the TV automatically switches
to featured themes—like certain holiday-inspired themes —for a limited time whenever Roku makes them available, and then switches back to your selected theme when the featured theme expires. When off, the TV always
uses your selected theme.

Change sound effects volume
Sound effects are the noises the TV makes to let you know it received your command. You can change the volume of
sound effects or turn them off.
To adjust the sound effects volume, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > Menu volume. Navigate to
the right and then change the setting to High, Medium, Low, or Off.

Configure power settings
Power settings let you set up your TV so that it turns on to the location you choose. Power settings also help your TV save
energy by automatically turning it off under certain conditions.

Power on settings
Power on settings tell the TV what to do when you turn on the power. To configure the power on settings, from the
Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Power > Power on. Highlight the power on location from the list,
and then press OK to select it.

Auto power savings
To help you save energy, your TV can automatically turn itself off after a period of inactivity or a period during which no
signal has been detected. It is factory-configured to do both of these things, but you can change these settings if needed.
To configure automatic power off, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > System > Power > Auto power
savings. In the Power settings screen, highlight the following options and press OK to turn them on or off:
•

Reduce power after 15 minutes – If no video or audio activity and no user interaction occur for 15 minutes, the
TV automatically turns off the screen and sound.

•

Turn off after 4 hours – If no video or audio activity and no user interaction occur for 4 hours, the TV goes into
standby mode.

Standby LED On/Off
Normally, the status LED on the front of your TV is lit whenever the TV is in standby mode. If you prefer the status LED to
not be lit in standby mode, you can turn it off. To do so, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > System > Power >
Standby LED, and then select Off.
After making this change, the status LED still performs all other indication functions

Configure accessibility
Accessibility settings enable users with vision or hearing impairment to use the TV more effectively. Accessibility settings
are located under Settings > Accessibility.

Captions mode
Captions mode specifies when closed captions appear. Access caption settings from the Home screen by selecting Settings > Accessibility > Captions mode. At this point, you can choose among the following options:
•

Off – No captions appear.

•

On – Captions appear whenever they are available from the program source.

•

Instant replay – Captions appear only when you use the replay option, and only when you are watching a
streaming program that supports instant replay.

•

When mute – Captions appear only when the TV is muted.
Tip: Themes are available only when your TV is connected to the Internet. Some themes require payment.
•

You can change the captions mode while watching a program. To do so, press to display the Options
menu, and then select Closed Captioning.

•

Some streaming channels require you to enable captions through a setting within their channel even
though you have turned on captions everywhere else.

Note: Once enabled, the captions mode applies to all inputs that support captions and remains enabled until you turn
it off.

Captions style
Captions style lets you control how closed captions look when displayed on your TV. Access caption style settings from
the Home screen by selecting Settings > Accessibility > Captions style. At this point, you can choose among the following
options:
•

Text style – Choose from a list of fonts. As you move the highlight to each font, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.

•

Text edge effect – Choose from a list of edge effect styles, such as raised, depressed, and various shadows. As
you move the highlight to each effect, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.

•

Text size – Choose from a list of sizes. As you move the highlight to each size, you can see a sample of the result
in an adjacent panel.

•

Text color - Choose from a list of colors for the text. As you move the highlight to each color, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.

•

Text opacity - Choose from a list of opacity settings for the text. This setting determines how much the area behind the text shows through the text. A value of 100% blocks all of the content behind the text. As you move the
highlight to each setting, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.

•

Background color - Choose from a list of colors for the background area behind the text. As you move the highlight to each color, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel. Note that you won’t see any change
unless you set the Background opacity to a value other than Off.

•

Background opacity - Choose from a list of opacity settings for the background of the caption. This setting determines how much the area behind the caption background shows through the background. A value of 100%
blocks all of the content behind the background. As you move the highlight to each setting, you can see a sample
of the result in an adjacent panel.

•

Window color - Choose from a list of colors for the window rectangle surrounding the entire caption. As you
move the highlight to each color, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel. Note that you won’t
see any change unless you set the Window opacity to a value other than Default or Off.

•

Window opacity - Choose from a list of opacity settings for the window rectangle surrounding the entire caption.
This setting determines how much the area behind the caption window shows through the window. A value of
100% blocks all of the content behind the window. As you move the highlight to each setting, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.

Audio Guide settings
On TVs sold in the United States, the Audio Guide settings help users who are blind or visually impaired to configure the
text-to-speech reader, enabling them to operate their TV more easily. The Audio Guide uses voice prompts that speak
volume and channel changes, menu options, and setting changes. Access Audio Guide settings from the Home screen by
navigating to Settings > Accessibility, and then select from the following options in the Audio Guide section
•

Audio Guide – Turn the Audio Guide on or off.

•

Speech rate – Select one of four speeds at which to hear spoken guide information: Slow, Normal, Fast, or Very
Fast.

•

Volume – Select the volume at which to hear spoken guide information, relative to the main TV volume

•

Shortcut – Enable or disable the shortcut feature. When enabled (the default), pressing the Option button 
four times in quick succession enables or disables the Audio Guide.

Configure parental controls
Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can view certain kinds of broadcast
TV programs. When a program or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a parental control PIN that only you
know.
Note: Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming options, if any, on the Home screen
menu. Parental controls do not block content on other TV inputs or content from streaming channels you add to
your TV.

Creating a parental control PIN
The first time you access the Parental controls screen, you must create a new parental control PIN. Thereafter, whenever
you want to change parental control settings, unblock programming that has been blocked, change the PIN, or disable
parental controls, you must enter your parental control PIN.
Tip: Your parental control PIN has nothing to do with your Roku PIN. You can make them the same if you want—
this is entirely your choice.
To create a new parental control PIN, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Parental controls. The screen
displays a numeric keypad. Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to enter a four digit code. Then repeat the process
to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use.
Important: If you forget your parental control PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset operation, as explained in “Factory reset everything” on page 62. Be sure to write it down in a safe place just in case.

Blocking Movie Store, TV Store, and News
One of the parental control options is to completely hide the entertainment options that are available directly on the
Home screen menu.
To hide Home screen entertainment options:
1.

From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.

In the Parental controls screen, highlight Home screen and then select or clear either of these options:
•

Hide “Movie Store and TV Store” – Removes the Movie Store and TV Store options from the Home screen
menu.

•

Hide “News” – Removes the News option from the Home screen menu.
Tip: To use either of these options after you’ve hidden them, you must return to this screen and remove the
check mark from the corresponding Hide command.

Blocking Broadcast TV shows
For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast signal to determine whether to allow a
program to be displayed. Parents can configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a
specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control PIN is entered.
Note: Rating standards differ by country.
Enabling parental control of TV shows
The first step in blocking TV shows is to enable parental control of TV shows.
This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of TV shows on and off without
disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are going to summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone, you
don’t want to have to deal with unblocking shows that you want to watch by entering your parental control PIN. All you
need to do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV shows are unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental controls again, and all of your parental control settings are restored in a single operation.
To enable parental control of TV shows:
1. In the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Parental control of TV shows.
3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it and press OK.
Blocking based on US TV ratings
Most broadcast US TV shows—other than movies—contain rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that
parents don’t want others to view. The ratings are divided into two groups that function independently:
•

Youth group – TV-Y, TV-Y7

•

Main group – TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA

Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, the TV also blocks all
content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with
a lower rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the TV also blocks TV-14 and TV-MA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also unblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked.

Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For example, you can block just coarse language in shows with a TV-PG rating. If you do, then the TV also blocks shows with coarse language in the higher ratings
(TV-14 and TV-MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV-14 ratings does not unblock coarse language in TVMA programs, but it does unblock coarse language in TV-PG programs.
To block TV shows based on US television ratings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > TV ratings. Choose among the following settings:
•

Entire ratings – Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to the right and select the first
option that blocks the entire rating level (and all higher rating levels).

•

Individual content types – Highlight the rating that contains the content type you want to block, and then
select the content types you want to block from among those listed. Remember that blocking a content type
in one rating blocks the equivalent content type in all higher rating levels.

Blocking based on US movie ratings
Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the ratings are known as
MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents
don’t want others to see. The ratings are:
•

G – General audiences

•

PG – Parental guidance suggested

•

PG-13 – Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger

•

R – Restricted

•

NC-17 – Not for age 17 or younger

Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV ratings, blocking movies with
a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks
movies with a lower rating.
Tip: Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete X rating, which can still
occur in the program data of older movies.
To block movies based on MPAA ratings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV Tuner > Movie ratings.
3. Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked.
Blocking based on Other ratings
Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when the TV was manufactured. It does this by
detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rating in the
Parental controls.
When the TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list of rating types: Other ratings. If you
see this option in the Parental controls screen, you have tuned to a station that has implemented a new rating table.
Once the new rating table has been downloaded to the TV, it remains in the TV until it is factory reset, and you can configure blocking based on the new ratings.

New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same ways as the builtin US TV and MPAA Movie ratings.
Tip: If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with its settings to understand
how to use it.
Blocking based on Canadian English ratings
Canadian-English language and third-language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Action Group on
Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows
that parents don’t want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are:
•

C – Children under 8 years

•

C8 – Children 8 years and older

•

G – Generally suitable for all age groups

•

PG – Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years

•

14+ – Generally not suitable for viewers under 14 years

•

18+ – Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years

Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
To block programs based on AGVOT ratings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Canadian English ratings.
3. Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked.
Blocking based on Canadian French ratings
Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Régie du cinéma du Québec. TV
broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don’t want others to view
based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are:
•

G – Generally suitable for all age groups

•

8+ – Viewers 8 years and older

•

13+ – Viewers 13 years and older

•

16+ – Viewers 16 years and older

•

18+ – Adults only

Blocking unrated programs
Some broadcast TV shows and movies are assigned a rating of “Unrated”. Whether or not such programs contain content
that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose to block such programs.
To block all unrated broadcasts:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Block all unrated programs.
3. Highlight Unrated programs and press OK. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changes from
unlocked to locked.
Tip: Blocking programs that have been assigned a rating of “Unrated” does not block programs that have no rating
assigned to them (for example a broadcast of a local town council meeting). Programs that do not have an assigned
rating display Rating NA (for “not applicable”, meaning a rating is not needed).

What happens when a TV show is blocked?
After you’ve set up parental controls, TV shows and movies can be blocked:
•

When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose rating exceeds your settings.

•

When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and its rating exceeds your settings.

When a program is blocked by parental control settings, the TV displays a blocked message:

Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and audio of the show are blocked, as well as program data that
would normally appear in the area at the bottom of the screen.
To watch the blocked program, you need to know the PIN code defined when you enabled parental controls, as explained
in “Creating a parental control PIN” on page 52.
1. Press OK to select Unblock and display a PIN pad.

2. Use the arrow buttons to enter your parental control PIN code, and then press OK to select Unblock everything.
After unblocking shows that have been blocked, all blocking is disabled for two hours or until you turn off the TV.

Changing the parental control PIN
To change your parental control PIN:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, highlight Change PIN.
3. Move the highlight into the adjacent keypad, and then use the arrow buttons and the OK button to enter a four
digit code. Then repeat the process to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN
you want to use.

Resetting parental controls
So now your kids have grown up and gone away to college, and you no longer want to deal with blocked programs.
To erase all parental control settings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, highlight Reset parental controls.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm that you want to erase all parental control settings.
Tip: Resetting parental controls also erases your parental control PIN.

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 – Select your existing network connection type (Wireless or Wired), and then press OK to
start the update process. The TV uses your current network information to reconfirm the wireless or wired network connection, the local network connection, and the Internet connection.

•

Set up new connection – Select a different network connection types (Wireless or Wired), and then select the
option to set up a new connection. 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 14.
Note: Some networks, such as those found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other public places, may require
you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide identifying information before letting you connect to the Internet. If the TV detects that you are connecting to such a network, it prompts you through
the connection process using your smartphone or tablet to provide the needed information. For more
information, see “Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room” on page 35.

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 38. 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 25. Correct time zone information is needed to correctly display program data.

•

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 25.

Setting the HDMI mode
You can independently configure each HDMI input to match the capabilities of the connected device. From the Home
screen menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs, and then select an enabled HDMI input. Next, select HDMI mode and
then select one of the following settings:
•

Auto – Let the TV determine the best setting. Use this option unless your HDMI device does not correctly communicate its HDMI version compatibility.

•

HDMI 1.4 – Configure the input for compatibility with HDMI version 1.4, which supports a maximum refresh rate
of 30 Hz at full UHD resolution. Most HDMI devices will work correctly with the TV in this mode.

•

HDMI 2.0 – Configure the input for compatibility with HDMI version 2.0, which supports a maximum refresh rate
of 60 Hz at full UHD resolution. Many older HDMI devices will not work correctly if the TV’s HDMI input is configured for this mode.

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 61. The internal speakers are also turned off when you
use the headphone jack.

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.

Enable HDMI ARC under Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC), as explained in “Enabling
HDMI ARC” on page 61.

SPDIF
•

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.

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  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.
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 59) 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.

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
49.

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 it 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.
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 that your TV might 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:
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 “Setting up your TV” on page 14.

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, and then select Network connection reset.
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 PIN and want to change it, or you don’t remember your PIN, 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 Owner’s Guide that matches your Roku TV software version from the Hitachi America, Ltd.
web site at: www.hitachi.us/tv
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.
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 24.
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.

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.

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, and then click Next.
7. On the 6-digit code page, write down the 6-digit code that
appears, and then take it back to your TV.

12- and 6-digit codes

8. Using the TV remote control, select Next to move to the
next screen, and then use the on-screen keyboard to enter
the 6-digit code. When finished, select OK. The system
update begins. Do not remove the USB flash drive until the
TV restarts.

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.

When the update finishes, the TV restarts. You can check the new version number by navigating to Settings > System > About.

OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE TELEVISION. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY EVEN IF THE REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN FAILS ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND EVEN IF ROKU, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LIABILITY.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR LIMITATOINS OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE
ABOVE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY
TO YOU, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

Export Controls
You agree not to download any Content or Software, nor otherwise export or re-export any Television or the Software into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iraq,
Libya, North Korea, Iran, Syria or any other country as to which the United States or your country has embargoed goods, or to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s List of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders or on similar restricted lists published by your government
from time to time. By using any Television or the Software, you are representing and warranting that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or
resident of any such country or on any such list.

Choice of Law; Dispute Resolution
A.

If you are a consumer and a resident in any country in the European Economic Area where the sale of the Television is expressly authorized by its manufacturer, this EULA does not apply to you.

In all other cases, including if you are a resident of the United States (and its possessions and territories) or Canada, you agree that this EULA shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another
jurisdiction; and:
1.

You and Roku agree to be bound by the procedures set forth below to resolve any and all claims between you and Roku arising out of or relating to
any aspect of this EULA, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, including but not limited to,
claims between you and Roku related to the Television and the Software. Each such claim is referred to individually as “Claim” and collectively as
“Claims”.

YOU AND ROKU AGREE THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE CLAIMS IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 4 OF THIS SECTION BELOW, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND ROKU SHALL BE FINALLY SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. The arbitration shall take place in Santa Clara County, California
and shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the AAA’s then-current rules, including (if applicable) the AAA’s
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Please be aware there is no judge or jury in arbitration. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than the rules applicable in court, and review of the arbitrator’s decision by a court is limited. YOU AND ROKU FURTHER AGREE
THAT EACH OF YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY
PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIM AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY
AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE OR DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND MAY NOT AWARD
ANY FORM OF CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS-WIDE RELIEF. Notwithstanding any provision in these terms to the contrary, if the
class-action waiver in this provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, or if an arbitration is allowed to proceed on a class basis, then neither you
nor Roku are entitled to arbitrate the Claims. This arbitration provision is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding
on you and Roku, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Information on AAA and how arbitration is initiated can be found at www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. For Claims between You and Roku of
$75,000 or less, you will be responsible for the initial arbitration filing fee, up to the amount of the initial filing fee if you were to initiate a lawsuit
against Roku based on such Claims in court. If the arbitrator finds such Claims to be non-frivolous, Roku will pay any difference in such filing fees‎ plus
the arbitrator fees. For Claims between You and Roku in excess of $75,000, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Roku will pay as much of your actual filing fees and the arbitrator fees for the arbitration as the arbitrator
deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation.

This agreement to arbitrate does not apply to any Claim (a) in which a party is attempting to protect its intellectual property rights (such as its patent,
copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights, but not including its privacy or publicity rights), or (b) that may be brought in small-claims court.

If the agreement to arbitrate in this provision is found to be invalid, unenforceable or inapplicable to a given Claim between You and Roku, then any
and all proceedings to resolve such Claim must be brought exclusively in a federal court of competent jurisdiction in the Northern District of California
or in a state court in Santa Clara County, California. You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending a written notice of your decision to opt out to the
following address: Legal Department, Roku, Inc., 150 Winchester Circle Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA; provided that, such notice must be postmarked on
or before the 30th day after the first to occur of the following events if you do not already have a Roku Account: (a) the date of purchase of Your Television, or (b) the date you create your Roku Account. If you have an existing Roku Account, all devices you choose to link to your Roku Account, and
all services provided by Roku which are accessed using these devices, will be subject to this agreement to arbitrate. Your notice should include your
full name, your current postal address, telephone number and email address, the product name and serial number for Your Television, and a copy of
the original proof of purchase for your Television. If you timely send a notice in compliance with this paragraph 6, the agreement to arbitrate will not
apply to either you or Roku. If you do not timely send this notice, then you agree to be bound by this agreement to arbitrate.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you agree that, if Roku seeks to delete or materially modify the agreement to
arbitrate described herein, any such deletion or modification will not apply to any individual Claim of which you have notified Roku prior to such
modification.

Miscellaneous
Roku may transfer its rights and obligations under this EULA to another organization. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under this EULA to another
person if Roku agrees in writing. This EULA is between you and Roku. No other person shall have any rights to enforce these terms. Each of the paragraphs of this EULA
operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. If Roku fails
to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this EULA, or if Roku does not enforce its rights against you, or if Roku delays in doing so, that will not mean
that Roku has waived its rights against you, or that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If Roku does waive a default by you, Roku will only do so in writing, but that will not mean that Roku will automatically waive any later default by you.
