USER MANUAL 50" 4K UHD Roku TV

Connections and setup

Refer to your TV’s Quick Start Guide or other provided documentation to for modelspecific information about attaching the base or a wall mount and making connections to AC power and to your other audio/video devices. The following information applies to all Roku TV models.

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 device 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

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) or HDMI IN (ARC) has the additional ability to use the audio return channel to send digital audio to a receiver or sound bar, as explained in Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar.

Connecting headphones or analog sound bar

You can connect headphones or an analog sound bar (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 sound bar to control the TV volume. To turn off the TV’s built-in speakers, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change the setting.

Connecting headphones to the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote

Select Roku TVs come with the Roku Enhanced Voice Remote. 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 sound bar. 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

Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar

You can enjoy Dolby Audio™ multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital amplifier or sound bar (not provided) in either of two 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 sound bar.
• HDMI® ARC – Connect an HDMI® cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC) connector to the 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, as explained in Enable HDMI® ARC.

Preparing for Internet connectivity

If you want to watch streaming content and take advantage 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 4K models have wired in addition to 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 supports both 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T Ethernet.

Roku TV remote

Use the following information to identify the buttons on your Roku remote.

Note: Certain remote buttons and features vary by model. Your remote might not have all buttons or features listed

• If your remote has a microphone button just below the purple pad, then you have a Roku Voice Remote.

• If your remote has a headphone jack on its left edge, then you have a Roku Enhanced Voice Remote.

Roku voice remotes have additional capabilities as noted in the following table.

Using your TV

Opting in to Smart TV experience (U.S. only)

Only in connected mode in the United States, the first time you select Antenna 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 through your Antenna 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 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.

If you decide you want to disable Smart TV experience, follow these steps:

1. From the Home screen, 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.

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 shows, you can disable notifications. To do so, follow these steps:

1. From the Home screen, go to Settings > Privacy > Smart TV experience.
2. Navigate to the right to highlight Use info from TV inputs.
3. Press DOWN on the remote to highlight Enable auto notifications.
4. Press OK on the remote to clear the check box.

Note: These settings do not affect recommendations for More Ways to Watch that you see in the Smart Guide when watching Antenna TV channels. Those recommendations come from the Smart Guide and do not rely on ACR technology
