WHAT TO DO STEP 1Ready for the step-by-step? We’ve only got four…CONNECT YOUR PLAYERConnect your Roku player to your TV in one of two ways:HIGH DEFINITION: If you have an HDTV and want the best picture quality, use an HDMI cable (not included) to make the connection depicted in the diagram below:• Connect one end to the HDMI port on the back of your Roku player.• Connect the other end to an open HDMI port on your TV.DID YOU KNOW? Because HDMI outputs digital video and audio, you don’t need a separate audio cable. HDMI also supports 5.1 surround sound (where available). GOT A RECEIVER?

• Connect one end to the composite video and analog audio ports on the back of your TV (look for Video IN, then match the Yellow/Red/White ports).• Connect the other end to the back of your Roku player.
