CHILD SAFETY:
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS
THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES
· Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable.
· As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions ­ new and old- must be supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
· ALWAYS follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation of your television.
· ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
· NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which the television is placed.
· NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
· ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.
· ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION
· ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts about your ability to safely mount your television.
· ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer and has a safety certification by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
· ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.
· ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
· Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling mount installation.
MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE
IN YOUR HOME
· Many new television buyers move their older CRT televisions into a secondary room after the purchase of a flat-panel television. Special care should be made in the placement of older CRT televisions.
· ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its size and weight.
· NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may be tempted to use the drawers to climb.
· ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does not hang over the edge of your furniture.

· Connect your Roku TV to networks found in hotels and college dorms · Temporarily link your smartphone or tablet to your TV to agree to any terms, enter codes, or provide required information before you can get Internet access in locations that require these additional steps (also known as restricted public networks). · Note: Using your Roku TV on a restricted public network requires wireless availability and use of your network-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to authenticate access to your account. You must use your Roku TV remote, and not the Roku mobile app, to initiate the connection process. Streaming content might be limited due to your geographic location or because of restrictions imposed by the network host. Go to support.roku.com for device compatibility information.
Let’s get started.

Connections and setup

Refer to your TV’s Quick Start Guide or other provided documentation for modelspecific information about attaching the base or a wall mount and making connections to AC power and to your other audio/video devices.
Connecting an antenna, cable, or satellite box
If you are using an antenna, CATV cable without a set-top box, or a cable or satellite box that has only an antenna output, connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not provided) from the source to the ANT/CABLE input on the TV. Tip: If you are using an antenna with a 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you need to use a 300-to-75-ohm adapter (not provided) to adapt the twin-lead cable to a connection that is compatible with the TV’s antenna input. 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
8

Connecting external equipment with a composite AV video cable
If the best connection available on your device 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 device and on the TV.
Note: Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the breakout cable (included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your composite cable.
Connecting external equipment with an HDMI® cable
If possible, connect your devices using HDMI® cables (not provided). They help to provide the best video quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is needed. For better picture quality, we recommend that you use cables designated as High Speed HDMI® Cables.
Tip: You might need to configure the device to send its signal through its HDMI® connector.
The connector labeled HDMI (ARC) has the additional ability to use the audio return channel to send digital audio to a receiver or soundbar, as explained in Connecting an AV receiver or digital soundbar. Only on select models: The connector labeled HDMI (eARC) provides the same functionality as the HDMI ARC connector, plus the ability to pass through full-resolution sound formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from and to devices that support these formats, without additional processing by the TV. Additional details are provided in Choosing an audio format.
9

Connecting headphones or analog soundbar
You can connect headphones or an analog soundbar (not provided) to the TV’s headphone jack. Tip: Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in speakers. Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not affected by TV volume or mute settings and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want to use your amplifier or soundbar to control the TV volume. To turn off the TV’s built-in speakers, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change the setting.
Connecting headphones to a Roku Voice Remote Pro
Select Roku TVs come with the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote or Roku Voice Remote Pro. On these models, you can connect headphones to the jack on the left side of the remote. Tip: Inserting a plug in the remote’s headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in speakers or attached receiver or soundbar. The volume and mute controls on the right side of the remote adjust the volume level of the connected headphones. Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound. You might notice that connecting headphones to your remote shortens the remote’s battery life somewhat.
10

Connecting an AV receiver or digital soundbar
You can enjoy Dolby AudioTM multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital amplifier or soundbar (not provided) in any of the following ways:
· Digital optical audio out (S/PDIF) ­ Connect a TOSLINK optical cable (not provided) from the TV to the Optical input on your receiver or soundbar.
· HDMI® ARC ­ Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC) connector to the HDMI® input on your receiver or soundbar. This connection uses the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature of HDMI® to output sound from the TV to a compatible device. To use this feature, you must configure the TV to enable HDMI® ARC, as explained in Setting up a digital audio connection.
· HDMI® eARC ­ Select models only: Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (eARC) connector to the HDMI (ARC) or HDMI (eARC) input on your receiver or soundbar. If your receiver or soundbar supports HDMI enhanced ARC (eARC), the TV can pass through full-resolution sound from programs containing enhanced audio. If your receiver or soundbar does not support eARC, use the TV’s eARC port to make the connection to the device’s ARC port. The eARC port is backward compatible with the ARC standard.
Preparing for Internet connectivity
If you want to watch streaming content and take advantage of most of the cool features of your Roku TV, 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.
Note: The TV supports only its internal wireless network adapter–it does not support the use of a USB network adapter.
Select models have both wired and wireless network connectivity. To use the wired network connection, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (not provided) from the jack on the back of your TV to your network router or switch. The wired connection automatically supports both 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T Ethernet.
11

AC power
Plug your TV into a power outlet. You can tell that the TV has power because the status indicator lights up when the TV is off. The topic Status indicator explains how the status indicator shows what is happening with the TV.
Roku remote batteries
Open the back of your Roku remote and insert the included batteries, observing the proper orientation as indicated in the battery compartment. Reattach the back cover.
12

Roku TV remote
Use the following information to identify the buttons on your Roku remote. Note: Remote buttons and features vary somewhat by model. Your remote might not have all buttons or features listed.
· If your remote has a VOICE just below the purple pad, you have a Roku Voice Remote.

Guided Setup
With the preliminaries out of the way, it’s time to turn on your TV. As the TV starts for the first time, it leads you through Guided Setup, which configures the TV before you start to use it. During Guided Setup, you’ll:
· Answer a few questions · Provide network connection information · Get a software update · Link your TV to your Roku account. · Connect devices such as a DVD player, game console, or cable box.
Starting Guided Setup
To start Guided Setup, press POWER on the remote to turn on your TV. Note: Guided Setup normally runs only once, the first time you turn on your TV. If you need to run Guided Setup again, you must perform a factory reset as explained in Factory reset everything. When you first turn on your TV, it will take a few seconds to get itself ready. You’ll notice the following things happening:
1. The status indicator blinks every time the TV is busy doing something; in this case it’s powering up and getting ready for you.
2. The splash screen appears and the status indicator blinks slowly for a few more seconds. The power-on screen shows a brand logo while the TV starts up.
21

3. After a few seconds, Guided Setup starts.
Guided Setup
At this point, you should be seeing the Language screen.
1. Only on models that have a Roku Voice remote: A few moments after the Let’s get started screen appears, Guided Setup starts the pairing process for the Roku Voice remote. (You’ll know if you have this type of remote because it has a VOICE or SEARCH button just below the purple directional pad.) If the 22

Roku Voice remote does not pair automatically, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the pairing process. Accessibility: If you have selected United States and English language, you can activate the screen reader, a text-to-speech screen reader to help you navigate the TV’s menus and commands. To enable the screen reader, press STAR four times in rapid succession. Repeat to disable the screen reader. (STAR is located directly below the purple directional pad on the right side of the Roku remote.) If you enabled the screen reader, choosing any language other than English disables it. 2. Press DOWN on the purple directional pad to highlight your preferred language, and then press OK. 3. Some models have a country selection screen: If you don’t see this screen, skip ahead to the next step.
If you see this screen, select your country, and then press OK. Accessibility: If you enabled the screen reader, choosing any country other than United States disables it.
23

4. Press OK to select Set up for home use. This is the right choice for enjoying your TV at home. It provides energy saving options as well as access to all features of the TV. Note: Set up for store use configures the TV for retail display and is not recommended for any other use. In store mode, some features of the TV are missing or limited. To switch from one mode to the other, you have to perform a factory reset as explained in Factory reset everything, and then repeat Guided Setup.
Network connection
After you select Set up for home use, the TV prompts you to make a network connection. If your TV has both wired and wireless connections, you’ll see the following screen. If your TV has only wireless connectivity, skip the following step.
24

5. Only on models that display the Connect to the Internet screen: Make a selection:
· Wireless connection ­ Highlight Set up new wireless connection and press OK. The TV prompts you through wireless setup. Skip ahead to the next step for help with the process.
· Wired connection ­ Highlight Connect to wired network and press OK. The TV immediately attempts to connect to your wired network, your local network, and then the Internet. Go to Step 9 to continue with Guided Setup.
· Connect to the Internet later ­ If you don’t want to connect to the Internet right now, you can select this option, and then press OK. You can still use the TV to watch live TV channels, and connect your devices to play games, watch DVDs, or watch channels from a cable box or another streaming device. When you’re ready to connect, it’s easy. We’ll show you how in Benefits of connecting.
Note: If you decide not to connect, Guided Setup skips ahead to setting up the devices that you’ve connected to your TV. Jump ahead to Connect your devices to complete Guided Setup.
6. On models that have wireless only, and models with both wired and wireless when you’ve selected Wireless: The TV scans for the wireless networks within
25

range and displays them in order, with the strongest signals first. In addition to your own wireless signal, the TV might pick up signals from your neighbors.
Press UP or DOWN to highlight the name of your wireless network, and then press OK to select it. Note: Some networks, such as those often found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other public places, require you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide identifying information before letting you connect to the Internet. If your Roku TV detects that you are connecting to such a network, it prompts you through the connection process using your smartphone or tablet to provide the needed information. For more information, see Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room. Other options · Scan again / Scan again to see all networks ­ The name of this option
depends on the number of wireless networks within range. · Scan again appears if the list already shows all available wireless
networks within range. If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, you might need to adjust the location of your wireless router or the TV, turn on your router, or make other changes. When everything is ready, select Scan again to see if your network name now appears in the list.
26

· Scan again to see all networks appears if there are more wireless networks than the strongest ones it initially listed. If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, this option displays the complete list. If you still don’t see your network name, you might have your router configured to provide wireless service as a “private network.” Note: Highlighting either of these options displays an informational panel with the unique media access control (MAC) address of your Roku TV. You will need the MAC address if your wireless router is configured to use MAC address filtering.
· Private network ­ If your wireless network name is hidden, it won’t appear in the list. Select Private network and then press OK to display an on-screen keyboard. Use the keyboard to enter your network name. Unless you changed the factory-set network name, you can find the name (also called SSID) on a label on the router. Tip: Wireless networks that are password-protected display a “padlock” icon adjacent to the name. This icon enables you to know that you are going to be prompted to enter a password after you select that network.
7. Only if you select a password protected wireless network: An on-screen keyboard appears. Enter your wireless network password by using the purple directional pad to navigate the keyboard, and pressing OK to select a highlighted letter, number, or symbol. When you finish, press DOWN to select Connect, and then press OK.
27

After you select Connect, the TV displays progress messages as it connects to your wireless network, your local network, and the Internet. 8. Only if your TV cannot get the correct time zone and current time from your network service provider: The Choose your time zone screen appears. Press UP or DOWN to highlight your time zone, and then press OK.
Tips: Your TV needs to know the local time zone so that it can correctly display information about the program you are currently watching. Your TV automatically checks for updates periodically. These updates provide new features and improve your overall experience with the TV. After an update,
28

you might notice that some options have moved, and that there are new options or features. This User Guide describes version 11.0. But note also that certain features of the TV might change from time to time independently of Roku TV updates.
To determine your current Roku TV software version, go to Settings > System > About after you complete Guided Setup. You can download an updated User Guide that matches your Roku TV software version from the Roku TV web site.
Activation
After the TV restarts, it prompts you through activation.
9. Use a computer, tablet, or smartphone with an Internet connection to link to a new or existing Roku account.
Note: Roku does not charge for activation support ­ beware of scams. For detailed information, see this Roku Support web page
Why do I need a Roku account?
You need a Roku account for several reasons:
· It links you, your Roku TV, and your other Roku streaming devices to the Roku Channel Store and billing service.
· Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to your Roku TV.
· Roku can automatically send updates to your device.
You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment across thousands of streaming channels. Linking to a Roku account also activates several advanced features on your TV, such as Guest Mode, the Roku mobile app, and Live TV Pause, to name just a few. Roku accounts are free, and while a valid credit card number is not required to create your account, providing your credit card information makes renting, purchasing, and subscribing to entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and convenient.
After you activate your TV, the TV gets an acknowledgement, and then adds your newly-selected and pre-existing streaming channels from other Roku
29

devices on the same account. This process is automatic and takes a few moments–a little longer if you have added a lot of streaming channels. Tip: Streaming channels from all of the Roku streaming devices associated with your account are synchronized periodically. All of your Roku streaming devices therefore display the same set of channels (subject to compatibility with the device).
Connect your devices
Next, Guided Setup helps you set up the external devices that you want to use with it, such as a cable box, Blu-rayTM player, or game console.
30

10. Press OK to proceed:
11. Connect all the devices you plan to use with your TV, turn them all on, and then select Everything is plugged in and turned on. The TV now takes you step by step through each of its inputs and asks what kind of device you have connected. For each input that has a connected and active device, you can see its picture and hear its sound.
12. Press UP or DOWN to highlight the label you want to associate with the input, and then press OK. If you are not using the input, select Nothing, and the input won’t appear on the Home screen. 31

13. While setting up your devices, rather than using the predefined names and icons, you can set a custom name and icon. To do so, scroll up or down to highlight Set custom name & icon, and then press OK. Follow the instructions on the screen to enter a name and select an icon for the input. See Rename inputs for more information. Note: If you specify a custom name for an input, voice commands will not reliably switch to that input. Voice commands typically can only switch among inputs that use built-in names, such as “AV,” and “Cable Box,” and “DVR.”
14. Repeat the previous step for each input. You’re done with Guided Setup.
Note: Some Roku TVs, depending on where you live and other factors, show you an introductory video filled with some great hints and tips. If you’re not interested in viewing this video, press HOME on the remote to go to the Roku TV Home screen. Whenever you press HOME , the Home screen greets you. From here, you can explore everything your TV has to offer. Use the purple directional pad to move around, and then press OK to select a highlighted item. We’ve designed the TV to encourage you to explore, and you can probably figure out most of the capabilities and settings on your own. If you have any questions or difficulties, you can find answers and solutions in this guide.

Some channels charge a monthly subscription fee and others are available at no additional cost if you subscribe to a companion service through your cable or satellite provider. If you have an existing subscription to a streaming provider, you can just sign in with your existing user name and password. To play streaming content, add one or more streaming channels to your Home screen. Use the Add Channels shortcut on the Home screen or the Channel Store option on the Home screen menu to go to the Channel Store, and then select the streaming channel you want to add.

What if I didn’t connect my TV?
What if you went through Guided Setup and chose Connect to the Internet later? No worries. Your Roku TV makes it easy to connect whenever you want. As you move around the Home screen, you’ll see several places where you can start the connection process. For example:
· Now and then you’ll see a message appear on the panel to the right of the Home screen offering a Connect Now option. You can highlight and select the Connect Now option to get started.
· Use the Connect and activate now option. From the Home screen menu, select Settings, then Network, and then Connect and activate now.
· If you want to start over from the beginning, do a Factory reset, and then go through Guided Setup again. This time, select your home network when prompted.

Setting up live TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you might want to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV provider connected to the ANT/CABLE input. On your Roku TV, you can watch broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices: select the Live TV tile from the Home screen. The first time you select the Live TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Live TV channel list.
Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided by a cable or satellite company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes use an HDMI® connection. More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or cable/satellite service. If you don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead remove it from the Home screen as explained in Remove unwanted tiles. When you set up live TV, the TV scans the signals on its antenna input for channels with a good signal, and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a very weak signal. The TV lets you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal, for the purpose of using an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4. Typically, you’ll only need one of these channels, but both are provided to make setup simpler. You can hide the one you don’t want as explained in Edit live TV channel lineup.
41

How do I set up the TV tuner?
1. Make sure your antenna or TV cable (not provided) is connected to the TV’s ANT/CABLE input.
2. On the Home screen, select the Live TV tile. If it is not on your Home screen, go to Settings > TV Inputs to add it.
3. Read the simple on-screen instructions, and then select Start finding channels.
4. If prompted, select your time zone. You’ll only need to do this if the TV can’t figure out your time zone from your Internet connection.
42

Why does the TV need my time zone?
The TV needs to know your time zone so that it can correctly display time information about the program you are currently watching. In most cases, it can get the time zone automatically and skips this step.
5. When prompted, select whether to add analog channels 3 and 4. These channels enable you to connect older set top boxes, VCRs, or game consoles.
6. Wait while your TV scans for antenna channels …
43

… and then cable TV channels.
Scanning for channels can take several minutes. Tip: If you don’t have a cable TV provider, or if you use a set-top box to receive cable TV channels, you can save time by skipping the cable TV portion of the channel scan. 7. When the channel scans finish, the TV shows the number of channels it added.
44

8. Only in connected mode, you have the option of setting up Live TV Pause. Pausing live TV explains how to set up and use this feature. If you don’t want to set up Live TV Pause, or if this option is not available to you, select Done to start watching live TV.
Tip: Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure you are receiving all of the latest channels. Broadcasters and cable providers add and remove channels, move channels to different parts of the spectrum, and change the power levels of their channels periodically. Your reception and picture quality depend on the position of your antenna and on your location relative to the antennas of broadcasters in your area. To repeat the channel scan, use the purple directional pad to highlight the Live TV tile, press STAR , select Scan for channels, and then press OK.
You’ll also have to repeat the channel scan if you remove and re-add the Live TV tile from the Home screen or perform a factory reset.
Now, you’re ready to watch live TV! While you’re watching, try the following tips:
· Press UP or DOWN to change channels.
· Press LEFT to display the channel list (non-connected mode) or Live TV Channel Guide (connected mode), and then press UP or DOWN to select a channel to watch. Or press REWIND or FAST FWD to jump through the channel list or Live TV Channel Guide1 a page at a time.
· Press OK to display information about the current program.
· Press STAR to see options for picture and sound settings.
· Only in connected mode, use a Roku Voice remote, the Roku mobile app, Google Assistant, or Amazon Alexa to search for programs by title, actor, director, or genre2. The TV or the Roku mobile app displays the results along with the streaming channels that offer the requested content. Only in the United States, the results also include Live TV programs.
Note: If you do not have a Roku Voice remote, you can use the Roku mobile app to search. For more information, see Roku mobile app.
1 Live TV Channel Guide is available only in the United States. 2 Voice features support English and Spanish languages when the corresponding TV language is selected.

Standby mode energy savings
When you turn off your TV, it remains in a higher power mode for a few minutes, after which it goes into a very low power standby mode. If you turn on the TV again before it has entered the very low power mode, it turns on immediately. After the TV goes into the lower power standby mode, it takes a few seconds longer to start up. Only in connected mode, you can optionally enable Fast TV start. When this option is enabled, your TV starts up almost immediately regardless of how long it has been turned off, but uses somewhat more power in standby mode. Fast TV start also gives you access to some additional features, such as turning on the TV with voice commands and turning off the screen when listening to music. For more information, see Fast TV start.
Getting help
Only in connected mode, you can get two different types of help: · Tips and tricks videos: Only in the United States, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Help and select Roku Tips & Tricks. · Help with Roku voice: Navigate from the Home screen menu to Settings > Help and select Voice help. Or from your Roku voice remote or the Roku mobile app, press VOICE and say “Help.”

Opting in to Smart TV experience (U.S. only)
Only in connected mode in the United States, the first time you select live TV, an HDMI input, or AV input, your TV offers to enable the Smart TV experience. If you decide to enable it at this time, you’re all set to enjoy its recommendations and features.
The Smart TV experience uses automatic content recognition (ACR) and other technology to collect information about what you watch on live TV, and on devices like media players and cable boxes connected to the HDMI or AV inputs. Opting in means that you give permission to analyze the programs you watch for the purpose of making recommendations, as well as showing ads that are more relevant to you. If you decide not to enable the Smart TV experience at this first opportunity, you can enable it later. Or, if you decide you’d rather not use the feature, you can disable it, but be aware that previously collected information is retained and not deleted.
Disable Smart TV experience
If you decide you want to disable Smart TV experience, follow these steps: 1. From the Home screen menu, go to Settings > Privacy > Smart TV experience. 2. Navigate to the right to highlight Use info from TV inputs. 3. Press OK on the remote to clear the check box.
48

Disable Auto Notifications
If you want to keep the Smart TV experience enabled, but you do not want to see notifications while you are watching programs, you can disable notifications. To do so, follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen menu, go to Settings > Privacy > Smart TV experience. 2. Navigate to the right to highlight Use info from TV inputs. 3. Press DOWN to highlight Enable auto notifications. 4. Press OK to clear the check box. Note: These settings do not affect recommendations for More Ways to Watch that you see in the Live TV Channel Guide when watching live TV channels. Those recommendations show up only in the Live TV Channel Guide and do not rely on ACR technology.

Note: If REPLAY is not available on your remote, you can use this feature in the Roku mobile app. For more information, see Roku mobile app.
Using the Live TV Channel Guide (U.S. only)
Only in connected mode in the United States, use the Live TV Channel Guide to find both over-the-air and live streaming TV programs. The Live TV Channel Guide lets you scroll through all the TV channels you receive (except those you have hidden, if any), plus a large number of live streaming programs. You can see what’s on right now and the upcoming 14 days. For live, over-the-air TV programs, you can use More Ways to Watch to find the program you’re watching and start watching it from the beginning from one of your streaming channels. Your clue that there are More Ways to Watch a program is a purple star () next to the program name in the guide. For example, you might turn on your TV at 10 minutes past the hour and discover you are missing the current episode of Empire. But there is a purple star next to the program title, so you can press STAR and find that there are several streaming channels where you can watch the current episode from the beginning. You also can find more episodes of Empire, and other programs that have a similar theme. Note: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some streaming channels.

Pausing live TV
Live TV Pause gives your Roku TV the ability to pause, play, fast forward, and rewind live TV received on the ANT input. You can pause live TV for up to 90 minutes.
Requirements
To use this feature, you need to:
1. Connect your TV to the Internet. If you didn’t connect during Guided Setup, see What if I didn’t connect my TV?.
2. Provide your own dedicated USB flash drive (thumb drive} with the following minimum specifications. · 16 GB · 15 Mbps read/write speed · USB 2.0 compliant
A USB flash drive (thumb drive) meeting the minimum requirements is highly recommended over an externally-powered hard disk drive. Note that you can use any larger size drive–there is no limit to the maximum size–but using a larger drive does not extend the 90-minute pause time. Important: After warning you and giving you a chance to cancel Live TV Pause setup, all existing content on your USB drive is erased when you enable this feature. 3. Connect your USB drive to the TV’s USB port.
55

Important: Some TV models have more than one USB port. You can connect your Live TV Pause USB drive to any port, but make sure that nothing is connected to other USB ports while enabling Live TV Pause. Reconnect other USB devices after you have finished enabling Live TV Pause. 4. Enable Live TV Pause, as explained in the following topic.

1. Time at the current playback position. 2. Current playback position 3. Extent of pause time, representing the amount of time this channel has been buffered, up to 90
minutes. 4. 90-minute mark, representing the maximum extent of pause time. 5. Current time.
The progress bar also shows tick marks at each half hour point, to help you locate the boundaries where one program ends and a new one begins.
57

More Ways to Watch (U.S. only)
Only in connected mode in the United States, More Ways to Watch gives you recommendations about the programs you’re watching on the ANT, HDMI, and AV inputs. You will automatically get these recommendations in the Live TV Channel Guide for live TV programs. However, before you can get recommendations for programs you’re watching through the HDMI or AV inputs, you must opt into the Smart TV experience to acknowledge that you want to allow the TV to use automatic content recognition (ACR). See Opting in to Smart TV experience (U.S. only) for details.
58

Using More Ways to Watch
Not every program provides recommendations. As you use More Ways to Watch, be aware that you’ll only see suggestions on your TV when all of the following conditions are met:
· Your TV is operating in connected mode in the United States. · You have enabled Smart TV experience if you are watching programs through
an HDMI or AV input. (If you are watching live TV from the ANT input, this setting does not matter.) · The program you’re watching contains the information needed to identify it. Note that some programs, such as the daily news, typically do not activate More Ways to Watch. · At least one participating streaming channel offers the movie or TV program you are watching, or other episodes, or more programs like the one you are watching. If all of these conditions are met, you can view the suggestions. More Ways to Watch recommendations appear in two different places: · When watching the HDMI and AV inputs, you’ll see a More Ways to Watch notification in the lower right corner of the screen for a few seconds unless you have disabled Enable auto notifications. Press STAR to see the list of matching programs. Note: After this banner disappears, you can restore the More Ways to Watch prompt by pressing OK.
59

· In the Live TV Channel Guide, all programs that meet the criteria for More Ways to Watch display a purple asterisk next to their titles:
Highlight the program of interest and press STAR to see recommendations. Regardless of how you got to this point, the options you’ll see depend on the type of program you’re watching and the available ways there are to watch, so you might see any or all of the following:
· Watch from beginning ­ Streaming channels on which the same TV program or movie is available. Often, this option does not appear on first 60

run programs, because streaming content typically is not available until some time after the program is first broadcast.
· See more episodes ­ Streaming channels where you can find other episodes of the TV program you are watching. Does not apply to movies.
· More like this ­TV programs or movies with a similar theme.
· View full description ­ Full description of the selected program.
Press DOWN to select an option, and then press RIGHT to select the streaming channel you want to watch.
Assuming you’ve already added the channel and completed any required sign-in, More Ways to Watch takes you directly to the program in the streaming channel where you can select and watch the program. Otherwise, it prompts you to add the channel and, if you do, then takes you to the program.
Getting the most from More Ways to Watch
· Streaming channels you’ve already installed appear first in the list of suggestions.
· When you select a streaming channel, you leave the program you are currently watching.
· If you’ve used the Live TV Pause feature to pause the program, your paused program buffer is deleted. In other words, you cannot return to a live TV channel and resume watching from where you left off.
Automatic network recommendation
Your home might have multiple wireless networks, each with its own characteristics. While you are streaming and during manual network scans, your TV checks the wireless networks nearby to make sure you are getting the optimum viewing experience.
If your TV determines that a better connection is available while you are watching streaming content, it recommends that you switch by displaying a message in the lower portion of the screen:
61

When this happens, you can select the appropriate button to accept or reject the recommendation, or you can select Don’t show again if you do not want to use this feature.
Switching TV inputs
Switch TV inputs to access the device connected to that input, for example, a Blu-rayTM player. Switching inputs is as easy as highlighting the input’s tile in the Home screen, and pressing OK. The video signal on the input, if any, plays on the screen.
Tip: To learn how to add, remove, rename, and rearrange the tiles on your Home screen, see Customizing your TV.
Auto-detecting devices
Your TV automatically detects when you connect a new device to an HDMI input and turn on its power. The input is automatically added to the Home screen if it isn’t already present.
Adjusting audio/video settings
While watching video content on any input, press STAR to display the TV settings menu. Press UP or DOWN to highlight an option, and then press LEFT or RIGHT to change the setting. To learn about each of the audio and video settings, see Adjusting TV settings.
62

Setting preferred audio language for streaming channels
You can select the preferred language for the audio played by streaming channels. If the selected language is available in the streaming content, the TV plays that language.
To set the preferred audio language:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > Audio preferred language.
2. Press RIGHT to highlight one of the languages.
3. Press UP or DOWN to highlight the language you want to use.
4. Press OK.
Note: Many streaming channels have an option to select the language while you are watching a program. The Audio preferred language setting sets the default for that option.
Automatic game console configuration
Your TV automatically detects select game consoles and configures the key features it supports to optimize TV performance while playing video games. When you connect a supported and powered-on game console through an HDMI® input, the TV automatically changes the input tile to the game console icon1. Only on selected models with compatible game consoles, it also enables:
· Automatic low-latency mode (ALLM) · Variable refresh rate · HDR gaming · High frame rate · Game mode · THX Certified game mode
1 Certain game consoles, such as the Microsoft Xbox One, do not communicate their identity until you select the input after connecting the console.
63

Various combinations of these features are available only on select R
