Product Information

The Roku Express 4K+ streaming player is a device that allows you to stream content on your TV. It comes with a remote control, a power adaptor, a USB power cable, a microphone, a status light, and a removable adhesive strip. The device has voice instant replay, TV power, volume mute options, and channel shortcuts. It can be connected to your TV through an HDMI port and can be powered by either the included power adaptor or through a USB port on your TV.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Connect your streaming player to an HDMI port on the back of your TV using the included cable.
  2. For the best streaming experience, use the included USB power cable and power adaptor to connect your streaming player to a wall outlet. Alternatively, use the included USB power cable to connect to the USB port on your TV. If you see a red light on your streaming player, it means that the USB port on your TV is not providing enough power, so use the included power adaptor instead.
  3. Place your streaming player near your TV or attach it with the included removable adhesive strip. Do not place your streaming player behind the TV or inside a closed TV cabinet as it may cause overheating.
  4. Use your TV remote to power on your TV and select the input/source you used to connect your streaming player.
  5. Pull out the battery tab on the back of your remote to pair it with your streaming player automatically.
  6. Follow the instructions on your TV screen to activate your streaming player by using your computer or smartphone to link a Roku account. Note that Roku never charges for activation support.
