ANT/CABLE

Tip: If you receive your TV stations through a set top box from a cable or satellite TV provider,
connect it to the TV using the best connection method available. From most to least desirable:

HDMI® input – Digital HD and SD video
AV input – analog SD video
Antenna input – analog SD video using NTSC

Connecting a component with a composite AV video cable
If the best connection available on your component is AV or composite video output, connect it to the TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV cables typically have three RCA-type plugs on each end, color coded as follows:

Yellow: Video
Red: Audio, right channel
White or black: Audio, left channel
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the component and on the TV.

Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar
You can enjoy Dolby Digital multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital amplifier or
sound bar (not provided) in either of two ways:

OPTICAL (Digital audio out) –Connect an optical cable (not provided) from an external digital audio system.
HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC) connector to the HDMI ARC – Connect an HDMI® input on your receiver or sound bar. This connection uses the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature of the HDMI specification to output sound from the TV to a compatible device.
To use this feature, you must configure the TV to enable HDMI® ARC.

Preparing for Internet connectivity
Connecting to a Wired (Ethernet) Network
Connect your TV to your network by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem or router using a LAN (Ethernet/Cat 5) cable (not provided). See the illustration below.

RCA RHORU4309 43 Inch 4K UHD ROKU SMART TV - Network

We recommend using a modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so you don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks already have DHCP.

Connecting to a Wireless Network
Connect it to the Internet through a wireless modem/router or a wireless access point (not provided). The TV has a built-in wireless LAN adapter.
Connect your TV to your network wirelessly, you need a wireless router or modem. See the illustration below.![RCA RHORU4309 43 Inch 4K UHD ROKU SMART TV

NOTES:

The TV supports only its internal wireless network adapter—it does not support the use of a USB network adapter. For the best viewing experience, we recommend using a wireless router or access point that supports the following wireless networking standards, depending on your TV model:
If the wireless router supports DHCP, your TV can connect more easily to the wireless network.
If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.
Security system: WPA, WEP, WPA2.

AC power
Plug your TV into a power outlet. You can tell that the TV has power because the status light on the front of the TV lights up.
Remote control batteries
Open the back of your Roku TV remote control and insert the included batteries as indicated in the label in the battery compartment. Reattach the back cover.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Depending on the country where the TV is installed, certain Roku channels may not be available.
The quick launch buttons on the remote control associated with those channels will therefore not work. All other functionalities of the remote will work as designed.
