Connecting Your Netflix Player

••••••

To use your Netflix Player, you need to connect it to your TV, your network, and a power source.

Connecting your Player to your TV
There are several ways to connect your Player to your TV. The method you choose depends on
the inputs supported by your TV and the cables you have available.
Your Player includes a combination cable that has both composite video and stereo audio
connectors. If you purchased the optional cable package, you also received an optical audio
cable, a component video cable, and an HDMI cable. (S-Video cables are sold separately and can
be purchased at most stores that sell audio/video equipment.)
The type of connection you set up between your Player and your TV, combined with the speed
of your Internet connection, determine the quality of your audio/video experience when you
watch movies through your Player.

Connecting your Player to your home network
To view movies through your Netflix Player, you must connect your Player to your home network
using either a wireless or wired connection. Your home network must have broadband Internet
access, so that your Player can access the Internet when it is connected to your home network. A
minimum connection speed of 1.5Mbps is required. However, we recommend using a
connection that is 4.0Mbps or faster.
If you’re using a wired connection, follow these steps to connect your Player to your network. If
you’re using a wireless connection, skip ahead to the next section, “Connecting your Player to a
power source”.
Connect one end of a CAT5 ethernet cable to the
ethernet jack on your Player. (You can purchase an
ethernet cables at most stores that sell computer
equipment or electronic supplies.)
2 Connect the other end of the ethernet cable to
your Internet router.

you don’t need to connect an ethernet
cable, so you can skip this step.

Understanding Player performance
The quality of the video and audio you receive via your Player is dependent on a combination of
several factors:
• Your audio/video connections. The type of audio and video connections you use to connect
your Player and your TV may impact sound and picture quality. In general, HDMI and optical
audio are superior to stereo audio. Similarly, HDMI and component video are superior to
S-Video. Additionally, HDMI, component video, and S-Video are all better than composite
video. Use your best available option when connecting the audio and video cables to your
Player.
• Your broadband speed. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) determines your broadband
speed. We recommend a minimum connection speed of 1.5 Mbps. For the best quality picture,
a connection speed of 4.0 Mbps is required. Sometimes your broadband speed varies based
on your ISP’s network conditions. Contact your ISP if you have problems maintaining a fast
connection that is reliable, or if you want to increase your connection speed. Many ISPs offer
a variety of broadband speed options.
• Your home network. In many homes, the Internet connection is shared with other devices
such as computers, gaming consoles, network hard drives, and so on. If any of these network
devices are transferring large amounts of data across your network (such as a file transfer,
online gaming, or other instances of streaming video), your sound and picture quality may be
compromised.

reception problems. This warranty does not cover damage due to acts of God, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, commercial

other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Limitation of Liability. In no event will Roku be liable for any consequential, special, exemplary, incidental and indirect damages,

whether oral or written. No waiver or modification of the Agreement will be valid unless signed by each party. Your right to use
the Software will immediately terminate upon any breach of this Agreement. The waiver of a breach of any term hereof will in no
way be construed as a waiver of any other term or breach hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may
provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement
may be brought in a federal court in the Northern District of California or in state court in Santa Clara County, California, and each
party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such action or proceeding. The United Nations
