Rename inputs
Rather than trying to remember that your Blu-ray player is connected to HDMI 1 and your game console is connected to HDMI 3. you can rename the TV inputs to match the connected device.

- Highlight the input tile in the Home screen. and then press * to display a list of options. From the list of options. select Rename input. Then select a new name and icon. or
- From the Home screen. navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs screen. select the input you want to rename. select Rename. and then choose a new name and icon from the provided list.
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.
Press to return to the Home screen. The new name and icon are now in effect.
Remove unwanted tiles
It’s easy to remove unused TV inputs and unwanted channel or app tiles. For example. if you never use the HDMI 3 input, or if you don’t like the weather app you added from the Roku Channel Store. you can remove them from your Home screen.
Note: You also can remove the Antenna TV tile if you never use the TV tuner. But be aware that removing the Antenna TV tile also deletes the channel list. You'll have to set up the TV tuner again next time you want to view Antenna TV. Instructions for setting up the TV tuner can be found in Setting up Antenna TV.
- To remove any tile, highlight the input tile in the Home screen. and then press to display a list of options. From the list of options, select Remove input. In the screen that follows, confirm you want to remove the input.
- Alternatively, to remove a TV input tile from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs screen, select the input you want to remove, and then select Remove > Confirm. Then press to return to the Home screen.
Change themes
Only in connected mode, another way to customize your TV is to change its theme. The theme establishes the look and feel of the TV through colors, designs, and fonts. Some themes require payment. To change the theme, in the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Themes. In the Themes screen, choose from the following options:
• My themes Highlight a theme, and then press OK to switch to that theme.
• Get more themes Highlight this option at the bottom of the My Themes list, and then press OK to shop for new themes.
• Custom settings Turn Featured themes on or off. When Featured themes is on, the TV automatically switches to featured themes like certain holidayinspired themes for a limited time whenever Roku makes them available, and then switches back to your selected theme when the featured theme expires. When off, the TV uses your selected theme.
Change menu volume
Menu sounds are the noises the TV makes to let you know it received your command. You can change the volume of these menu sounds or turn them off.
To adjust the menu volume, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > Menu volume. Navigate to the right and then change the setting to High, Medium, Low, or Off
