FAQ
-
Why do I need to enable HDMI-CEC and ARC on my TV?
HDMI-CEC lets you control your TV’s power with the Roku remote while ARC makes sure all of your TV inputs send sound through your Streambar SE. TV manufacturers may use different names for these settings and some, including Roku TVs, automatically enable them. Refer to your TV manual or visit the link below for help. -
How do I use my Streambar SE remote with my Roku TV?
By default, your Streambar SE will work as a soundbar when connected to a Roku TV, so you only need to use your Roku TV remote. To use your Streambar SE as a streaming player, visit TV inputs in your Roku TV’s settings menu. There, you can choose to show your Roku Streambar SE’s HDMI input tile on your Roku TV home screen. -
Why do I need to create a Roku account?
You’ll need a Roku account to stream, add channels, easily manage subscriptions, rent movies, and more. -
Why should I enter a credit card?
Saving a payment method makes it easy to rent or buy movies, subscribe to popular channels, and start free trials in just a click. No charges will be made without your authorization.
