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.

Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your new TV! Discover the joy of endless entertainment. After it's set up, you'll be able to
access a world of streaming content channels that may include Netflix, YouTube, Crackle, CNET and literally thousands more.
Important
Your TV receives automatic updates from time to time, enabling new
content and features. This User Guide explains how to use your TV after it
has been updated to version 7.0. If your TV has not yet been updated to
version 7.0, some of the information in this User Guide does not apply. To
determine the current version of your Roku TV, go to
Settings > System > About after you complete Guided Setup.

The new standard in Smart TVs


Welcome to TV like you've most likely never seen before—a home screen that you can personalize with your favorite
devices and streaming channels. Choose from hundreds of thousands of streaming movies and TV episodes, plus music,
sports, kids, family, international and much more. You should never run out of things to watch.
Note
A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels.
Channel availability is subject to change and varies by country. Not all
content is available in countries or regions where Roku products are sold.

Get the most out of your new TV


Follow these simple steps to get the most out of your new TV.
1 Connect to the Internet
• It's simple, it's easy, and it will unlock a world of entertainment. All you need is a wireless network. There are hundreds
of free streaming channels, subscriptions services like Netflix and Spotify, convenient ways to rent or buy a favorite film
or show with Google Play and Cineplex and more.
2 Pick your favorite streaming channels
• Find the entertainment you love. From the latest blockbuster movies to your favorite TV shows, with tons of live sports,
a broad selection of music streaming channels, popular programming in a dozen international languages, 24x7 live
news and so much more, your new TV has your sweet spot. A paid subscription or other payments may be required for
some channels.
3 Personalize your home screen
• Put your favorite broadcast TV, streaming channels, gaming console and other devices front-and-center on the home
screen. No more flipping through inputs or wading through complicated menus. You can even personalize the names
of each input and move tiles around so your most-often used devices and streaming channels are only a click away.
4 Search for your favorite movie, TV show, actor, or director
• Once you’re connected to the internet, you can easily search across top streaming channels by movie or TV show title,
actor or director—all from one place. Search results are organized by price so you can always see the best priced
option. A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels.
5 Send your personal media to the big screen
• Send personal photos, videos, and music from your compatible smartphone or tablet to the TV screen in just a few
taps. Plus, with Netflix and YouTube apps, send movies, shows, sport highlights, and more directly to your TV.
Note
The Roku app for Microsoft Windows devices does not cast videos.

6 Follow movies coming soon


• Use My Feed to choose from and follow a list of upcoming movies, and then watch for alerts each time one of your
followed movies becomes available or changes price.
Note
My Feed is not available in the Roku App for Windows devices in the United
States or Canada.

4
LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV

7 Take charge with a smartphone or tablet


• Control your TV with the included remote or from your compatible smartphone or a tablet with the free mobile app for
iOS, Android, and Windows devices. Browse channels, view My Feed, and even search with voice via the free mobile
app.
Note
Voice search and My Feed are not available in the Roku app for Windows
devices.

• Mirror your compatible smartphone or tablet on your TV. Share videos, photos, web pages, and more from compatible
devices.
• Use your compatible smartphone or tablet to connect your TV to the types of networks found in hotels and college
dorms, where you may have to agree to terms, enter codes, or provide identifying information.
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. Your TV must already be
linked to your Roku account and activated. Also, you must use your Roku TV
remote control, because the Remote feature of the Roku mobile app does
not work on restricted public networks. Streaming content might be limited
due to your geographic location or because of restrictions imposed by the
wireless network host.

Many features work with top mobile devices. Please see http://support.roku.com for device compatibility information.

heat registers, or fire.
• Battery chemicals can cause a rash. If the batteries leak, clean the
battery compartment with a cloth. If chemicals touch your skin, wash
immediately.
• Make sure that batteries are disposed of correctly. Do not burn or
incinerate.

Notes
• Do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Remove batteries when the charge is depleted.

Guided Setup
With the preliminaries out of the way, it’s time to turn on your TV. As your TV starts for the first time, it leads you through
Guided Setup, which configures your 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.
Note
Guided Setup only runs the first time you turn on your TV. If you need to run Guided
Setup again, you'll have to perform a factory reset, as explained in Factory reset
everything on page 67.

Preparing for Internet connectivity


If you want to connect your TV to the Internet to watch streaming content, you must connect using a wireless
modem/router or a wireless access point. The TV connects through a built-in wireless LAN adapter. The TV does not support
a wired connection or the use of a USB network adapter.
We recommend that your wireless connection supports the IEEE 802.11b/g/n specification for the best experience.
Starting Guided Setup
To start Guided Setup, press the POWER button on the remote control to turn on your TV.
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 light blinks every time your TV is busy doing something; in this case it's powering up and getting ready for
you.
2 The power-on screen appears and the status light blinks slowly for a few more seconds. The power-on screen displays
the Insignia Roku TV logo while your TV starts up.
3 After a few seconds, Guided Setup starts:

4 If your TV prompts you for a language, press the DOWN arrow on the remote control to highlight your preferred
language.

LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV

Setting up your TV
With the first Guided Setup screen on your TV, follow these steps to set it up:
1 Press the OK or RIGHT arrow on the remote control to go to the next screen:

2 Press OK to select Set up for home use. Home mode is the right choice for enjoying your TV at home. It provides energy
saving options as well as access to all features of your TV.
Note
Store mode configures your TV for retail display and is not recommended for any
other use. In store mode, some features of your 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 on page 67, and then repeat Guided Setup.

After you select Set up for home use, your TV scans for the wireless networks within range and displays them in order,
with the strongest signals first. In addition to your own wireless signal, your TV might pick up signals from your
neighbors.

3 Press the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight the name of your wireless network, and then press OK to select it.
Note
Some wireless networks, such as those often found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other
public places, may require you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide
identifying information before letting you connect to the Internet. If the Roku TV
detects that you are connecting to such a network, it prompts you through the
connection process using your compaitlbe smartphone or tablet to provide the
needed information. For more information, see Using your TV in a hotel or dorm
room on page 47.

Other options:
• Connect to the Internet later —If you’re unable to connect to the Internet, that’s OK. You can skip this step and use your
TV to watch broadcasts, play games, and watch DVDs. If you want to connect later, it's easy. We’ll show you how in Benefits
of connecting on page 40. Connecting your TV enables you to choose from thousands of streaming channels so your TV
really wants you to connect, and will try a couple more times to convince you that connecting is a good idea.
Note
If you decide not to connect, Guided Setup skips ahead to setting up the devices that
you've connected to your TV. See Non-connected TV Home screen on page 39 to get
started using your non-connected TV.

• Scan again / Scan again to see all networks—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 your 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.
• Scan again to see all networks appears if your TV finds more than seven wireless networks, because your TV initially
displays only the strongest seven networks. 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 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 to display
an on-screen keyboard, and use it 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.
4 If you select a network that is password-protected, an on-screen keyboard appears. Use the keyboard to enter the
network password.
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.

5 After you submit your network password, your TV displays progress messages as it connects to your wireless network,
your local network, and the Internet.

6 Your TV needs to know the local time zone so that it can correctly display time information about the program you are
currently watching. If your TV is unable to automatically determine the local time zone, it prompts you to choose your
time zone from a list. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to highlight your time zone, and then press OK.

7 As soon as your TV is able to connect to the Internet, it downloads and installs its first software update, and then restarts.
Tips
• Your TV automatically checks for updates periodically. These updates provide
new features and improve your overall experience with your TV. After an update,
you might notice that some options have moved, and that there are new options
or features. This User Guide describes version 7.0. 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 TV software version
from the Insignia web site at: www.insigniaproducts.com/support.html

What is streaming?
Streaming is viewing or listening to video or audio content that is sent over the Internet, or located on a network-connected
media server or on a USB device plugged into your TV’s USB port.
With streaming, you can by or rent most programs on demand, when it’s convenient for you. When streaming, you can play,
pause, rewind, and fast forward whatever you are watching. You can also replay the last few seconds again, or turn on closed
captions.
Tip
Some content cannot be paused or skipped. For example, if you are viewing live
programming or a program that is supported by ads, you generally are not allowed
to skip the ads.

Your TV lets you choose from thousands of streaming channels that offer a huge selection of entertainment:
• Thousands of movies and TV episodes
• Unlimited music, live and on-demand
• Tons of live and on-demand sports
• Commercial-free kids programming
• International programming in 22 languages
• 24x7 news and in-depth news commentary
Many streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels, like Cineplex and Amazon Instant Video, let you purchase or
rent the latest movie releases or popular TV series. Some channels such as Netflix or Spotify charge a monthly subscription
fee and others are free if you subscribe to a companion service through your cable or satellite provider. For example, HBO
subscribers with participating broadcast TV provider accounts can add the HBO Go channel and watch it for free.
If you have an existing subscription to a service like Netflix or Spotify, you can just sign in with your existing user name and
password.
To play streaming content that is available on the Internet, you add streaming channels to your Home screen. To add a
streaming channel to your Home screen, use the Streaming Channels option on the Home screen menu to go to the Roku
Channel Store, and then select the streaming channel you want to add. The streaming channel is then added to your Home
screen, and you can watch it at any time.
For more information on using the Roku Channel Store feature, see Using the Roku Channel Store on page 55.
Note
A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels. Channel
availability is subject to change and varies by country. Not all content is available in
countries or regions where Roku products are sold

But 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 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. Simply highlight and select the Connect Now option to get started.
• Use the Connect and activate now option in the Settings menu. From the Home screen menu, select Settings,
Network, and then Connect and activate now.
• If you want to start over from the beginning, use the Settings menu to do a Factory reset, and then go through Guided
Setup again. This time, choose your home network when prompted.
Regardless of how you connect, the process is the same. If you need details, see Step 3 on page 33 under Setting up your TV.

Setting up Antenna TV
Despite all of the entertainment possibilities of your TV, you may also want to watch broadcast TV. You watch broadcast TV
in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile—the Antenna TV tile—from the Home
screen.
The first time you select the Antenna TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV tuner scans for active
channels and adds them to your broadcast TV channel list.
Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
You might be asking, “Why is this step necessary?” Good question.
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 on page 57.
When you set up Antenna TV, your 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.
Your TV will, however, let you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal. You might need to add these channels if
you have an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4. These are the
only channels that can be added regardless of whether they have a good signal. 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 broadcast
TV channel lineup on page 57.

How do I set up the TV tuner?


Setting up the TV tuner is easy—your TV does most of the work. You just have to answer a couple of questions.
1 Make sure your antenna (sold separately) or TV cable is connected to your TV’s ANT/CABLE input.
2 On the Home screen, select the Antenna TV tile.
3 Read the simple on-screen instructions and select Start finding channels.

4 If prompted, select your time zone. You'll only need to do this if your TV can’t figure
out your time zone from your Internet connection. 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.

5 When prompted, select whether to add analog channels 3 and 4 (to enable you to connect older set top boxes,
VCRs, or game consoles).

42
LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV

6 Wait while your TV scans for broadcast (antenna TV) stations...

… and then cable TV channels.

Tip
Cable TV channels are channels from a cable TV provider that you can receive by
connecting their cable directly to your TV (unscrambled NTSC, ATSC, and QAM
channels, if you’re the kind of person who is interested in the details). In many cases,
your cable provider probably requires you to use their set-top box and connect it to a
different input, and then use the set-top box to tune your cable stations. In that case,
you can skip scanning for cable channels.

7 When the channel scans finish, your TV shows the number of channels it added.

43
LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV

Scanning for channels can take several minutes.


Tip
Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure you are receiving all of the
latest channels. Broadcasters add and remove channels, move channels to different
parts of the spectrum, and change the power levels of their channels periodically.

Note
You’ll have to repeat the channel scan if you remove the Antenna TV tile from the
Home screen or perform a factory reset. To repeat the channel scan at any time, go to
Settings >TV inputs >Antenna TV > Scan again for channels. Your antenna
reception and picture quality depend on the position of your antenna and on your
location relative to the antennas of broadcasters in your area.

Now, you’re ready to watch broadcast TV! While you're watching, try the following:
• Press the UP and DOWN arrows to change channels.
• Press the RIGHT arrow to display the channel list and then use the UP and DOWN arrows to select a channel to watch. Or
press REWIND or FAST FORWARD to jump through the channel list a page at a time.
• Press OK to display information about the current program.
• Press to switch to the previously tuned channel.
• Press to see options for picture and sound settings.
Note
If is not available on your remote control, you can use on the Roku App or the
Jump Back button on a universal remote. For more information, see Other devices on
page 69.
Remote control on page 12 has more information on using the remote control
buttons while watching TV.

Playing content from USB storage devices


Your TV has a USB port that can be used to play personal music, video, and photo files from a personal USB flash drive or
hard disk. If your TV is connected to the Internet, your Home screen has the Roku Media Player tile. If your TV has not been
connected to the Internet, the Home screen has the USB Media Player tile.
To use this feature, first make sure your media files are compatible with the Roku/USB Media Player. As of the publication
date of this guide, the following media file formats are supported:
• Video—MKV (H.264/262), MP4, MOV (H.264)
• Music—AAC, MP3, WMA, WAV (PCM), AIFF, FLAC, and AC3, and DTS
• Photo—JPG, PNG (up to 4k x 4k pixels)
To see the latest list of supported formats, view Help in the Media Player.
Notes
• The Roku/USB Media Player displays supported file types only, and hides file
types it knows it cannot play.
• There are many variants of each of these media formats. Some variants may not
play at all or may have issues or inconsistencies during playback.
• DTS audio, whether in music or video files, is supported only by pass-through,
meaning that your TV cannot directly output the sound of a DTS file, but can pass
it through to a DTS-compatible receiver that is connected to the HDMI1 (ARC) or
SPDIF connector on your TV.

Playing content from local network media servers


If you have connected your TV to a network, it can play personal video, music, and photo files from a media server on your
local network. Media servers include personal computers running media server software such as Plex or Windows Media
Player, network file storage systems that have built-in media server software, and other devices that implement the
specifications of the Digital Living Network Alliance. Some servers do not fully implement the DLNA specification but are
UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) compatible. The Roku Media Player will connect to them as well.
Some media servers can convert files into Roku compatible formats. DRM-protected content is not supported.
Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room
Hotels, school dorms, conference facilities, and similar locations with public wireless Internet access often require you to
interact with a web page to authenticate your access. These restricted public networks are commonly known as captive
portal networks. When you select a network of this type, the TV automatically detects that additional information is needed
and prompts you through using another wireless device to supply the requested information.
Tips
• Using your Roku TV on a hotel or dorm room network requires wireless
availability and use of your network-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer
to authenticate access to your account.
• Your TV must already be running software version 7.0. You can find the version
number by navigating from the Home screen to Settings > System > About. If it
is running an earlier software version, you must use a non-restricted wireless
network to link and activate the TV, and then update the software to version 7.0.
• Be sure to bring your Roku TV remote control, because the Remote feature of the
Roku mobile app may not work when connected to a hotel or dorm room
network.
• Content might be limited or unavailable if you try to connect outside your home
country due to geo-filtering.

47
LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV

To connect your TV to the restricted network:


1 Either during Guided Setup or after selecting Settings > Network > Set up new Wi-Fi connection, you’re presented
with a list of available networks.

2 If you select a network that requires interaction to grant access to the Internet, the TV detects that additional
information is needed and displays the following prompt.

Tip
Your TV can connect to a restricted network only if Device connect is enabled in
Settings > System > Advanced system settings. (Device connect is enabled by
default, but if you have disabled it, the TV cannot complete the connection.)

Note
Device connect is not present if the TV is in non-connected mode.

3 If you selected the correct network, highlight I am at a hotel or college dorm, and then press OK. The TV prompts you
to use your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to complete the connection.

48
LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV

4 Use a phone, tablet, or wireless-enabled computer to detect wireless networks. In most cases, you can simply open the
device’s Wi-Fi Settings or Network Settings screen to start scanning.
Note
The phone, tablet, or computer must be on the same wireless network to which you
are connecting the TV.

5 Connect to the network named on your TV screen. The actual network name varies.
Note
The previous step connects your smartphone, tablet, or computer directly to the TV.
No connection charges apply and the connection does not impact your device’s data
plan.

6 The wireless connection process prompts you for a password. Enter the password as shown on the TV screen. The actual
password varies.
7 Start the web browser on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. When you attempt to open any web page, the restricted
connection will prompt you for whatever information it needs. In most cases, you must agree to terms and conditions,
provide identifying information, or enter a password, PIN, or room number to proceed. The information requested
depends on the organization that controls the wireless connection.
8 After you enter the requested information, the TV automatically proceeds to complete its connection and resumes
normal operation.
9 If the TV prompts you to link to your Roku account, use your smartphone, tablet, or computer to complete the pairing
operation and activate your Roku TV.

Adjusting TV settings
You can adjust most picture and sound settings while you are watching a program by pressing to display the Options
menu. If you don’t find what you need, there are additional picture and sound settings in the Settings menu.
In most cases, the changes you make apply only to the input you are using. Antenna TV, each separate HDMI input, and the
AV input have their own settings that your TV remembers when you return to that input. Your TV also remembers the
settings you specify while viewing streaming content.
Settings menu
Use the Settings menu to adjust overall TV settings. Press to go to the Home screen, and then navigate to Settings>TV
picture settings.
You can adjust the following overall TV picture settings from the Settings screen:
• TV brightness—If the lighting level in your TV room changes, use this setting to help provide a better viewing experience;
set to darker for a darker room, and brighter for a brighter room. Choose among Normal and four other settings to make
the overall picture brighter or darker. So that you don’t have to make this type of change for each TV input one at a time,
this setting increases or decreases your TV’s general brightness across all TV inputs. This setting is identical to the TV
brightness setting you can access in the Options menu while watching a program.
• Settings per input—This section of options lists each TV input. Select an input to switch to that input. Then press to
display the Options menu, where you can adjust the input's settings while watching a live picture and listening to the
sound from that input.
Tip
You don’t have to go to the Settings menu first—you can display an input's Options
menu and adjust its settings whenever you are watching the input by pressing .

more of the screen. Even though the other settings are hidden, you can move the
highlight up or down to adjust the other settings. As soon as you press the UP or
DOWN arrow, the other settings become visible again.

Advanced picture settings menu options


• Picture mode—Provides picture presets for various viewing preferences. This setting duplicates the one on the Options
menu. When you change the Picture mode, other picture settings adjust accordingly.
For example, setting the Picture mode to Vivid sets Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and other values to produce a very
vibrant picture. Setting Picture mode to Movie changes these same settings to produce a picture suitable for enjoying
movies in a darkened room.
If you make changes to the individual picture settings—for example, Contrast or Sharpness—these settings are saved for
the current input and the current picture mode. In this way, the HDMI 1 input's Movie picture mode can be customized
and different than the HDMI 2 input’s Movie picture mode and Antenna TV’s Movie picture mode.
Low power is a power-saving picture mode that reduces power consumption. When you use Low power, you'll notice
that your TV's picture is a little dimmer than the brightest picture modes (Vivid and Normal).
Use Reset picture settings, described below, to return the input’s current picture mode to its original values.
• Dynamic Contrast—Automatically adjusts the backlight level to achieve the optimum contrast and prevent excessive
differences between light and dark areas of the screen. The Backlight option is disabled when Dynamic Contrast is
enabled.
• Backlight—Adjusts the overall light intensity of the screen.
• Brightness—Adjusts the dark level of the black areas of the picture.
• Contrast—Adjusts the white level of the light areas of the picture.
• Sharpness—Adjusts the sharpness of the edges of objects in the picture.
• Color—Adjusts the intensity of colors in the picture. A setting of 0 removes all color and displays a black and white picture.
• Tint—Adjusts the color balance from green to red to obtain accurate colors in the picture.
• Color temperature—Adjusts the overall colors in the picture from Normal to slightly more bluish (Cool) to slightly more
reddish (Warm).

51
LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV

• Picture size—Adjusts the aspect ratio of the picture, enabling you to view a picture in its original format, or zoom or
stretch it to fill the screen. The Auto setting has been found to produce the best picture in most cases.
• Game mode—Controls whether Game mode is on or off. When On, your TV performs less image processing and has less
input lag. When Off, your TV may perform more image processing and has more input lag, which is less desirable for
action games. Available only for HDMI and AV inputs.
• Reset picture settings—Returns all picture settings for the input's currently-selected Picture mode to their original
values.
Tip
To dismiss the Advanced picture settings menu, just wait a few seconds without
pressing any buttons. Or press again to dismiss the menu immediately.

My Feed gives you updates on your list of movies that are coming soon to theaters. With My Feed, you’ll know when your
favorite movie is ready to stream, the channels it is on, and how much it will cost.
Select the movies you want to follow by going to My Feed > Movies Coming Soon. You’ll then see a list of newly released
movies that are not yet available for streaming. Select a movie, and then select Follow this movie on Roku. When you
return to the main My Feed screen, you’ll see banners for each of your newly-followed movies along with banners for
movies and TV shows you’re already following.
Movies, TV shows, and people
In addition to following movies coming soon, you can follow any movie, TV show, or actor. To do this, use the Search feature
to find the movie, TV show, or name that you want to follow, and then select Follow this movie/TV show/person on Roku. For
more information, see Searching for something to watch on page 53.
Note
The TV takes a bit of time to update your newly-followed shows. Until it finds at least
one channel offering the movie, the content banner in My Feed shows Check back
later for updates.

My Feed alerts you any time a movie or TV show you are following becomes available on another channel and whenever its
price changes. A number in parentheses next to My Feed in the Home menu means that My Feed has updated information
that you haven’t viewed yet. For example, you if three of your followed shows have updates, you’ll see My Feed (3).
Note
When a movie or TV show you are following becomes available, the streaming
channel offering the movie might require that you subscribe or pay a fee to view it.

Tip
My Feed is available only if your TV is connected to the Internet.

Searching for something to watch


Searching for movies and shows across multiple streaming channels is one of the unique features of your TV. Within a single
search operation, you can search by:
• Movie name
• TV show name
• Actor or director name
• Streaming channel name
• Game name
Tip
Roku Search is available only if your TV is connected to the Internet.

Note
Roku Search doesn’t search across all streaming channels, but searches across lots of
popular streaming channels. The actual channels it searches vary by locale, but
include popular providers such as Netflix and several others, with more being added
all the time.

You can check which streaming channels are included in Roku Search by going to the Search screen, clearing all previous
searches to reveal the search instructions, and then watching the channel tiles cycle at the bottom of the screen.
To search, select Search on the Home screen menu. The Search screen has a keyboard grid and initially displays
instructions—a set of icons representing search categories and a list of participating provider tiles.
Tip
If you don’t see the instructions, navigate to the end of the list of recent searches and
select Clear recent search selections.

How do I search?
To search, use the arrow buttons to navigate the on-screen keyboard, entering a few characters of the search term. With
each additional character you enter, you narrow down the search and the search results become more relevant.
Tip
Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make
searching even faster. Not only can you use your device’s keypad to type, you can
search simply by touching a voice search icon and saying the name of the movie, TV
show, actor or director, channel, or game.

An icon next to each search result shows the category of the result (movie, TV show, actor).
• Press the RIGHT arrow to highlight the search results.
• Press the UP and DOWN arrows to scroll through the list of search results to highlight the item you want to view.
I found a show, now what?
Now that you’ve highlighted the show, movie, actor, game, or streaming channel you were looking for, press the RIGHT
arrow. If your search result was an actor, director, or other item that does not represent a single item of content, you'll see
another list to narrow down your search. Continue highlighting results and pressing the RIGHT arrow until you find a single,
viewable content item.
An HD logo means that the content is available in high-definition. The checked circle adjacent to the title means you have
already added the streaming channels.
When you narrow down your search to a game or streaming channel, you’ll see detailed information, images, and available
actions such a list of streaming channels and the cost of getting the item on each channel.
Note
Some channels may require a subscription.

Following on Roku
Rather than watch the show you found in Search, you can add it to My Feed and wait until it’s available on a particular
streaming channel or available at a better price. From the search results screen, select Follow on Roku. Then go to My Feed
periodically to check for updates to each of your followed movies, TV shows, or people. For more information, see My Feed
on page 53.
Recent Searches
The next time you use Roku Search, the Search screen displays a list of recent search selections in place of the search
instructions.
Using the recent search selections list makes it easy to quickly get to a previously found item, for example, to find another
movie with the same actor, or another TV show in the same series.

Using the Roku Channel Store


The Streaming Channels menu option takes you to the Roku Channel store, where you can add new streaming channels to
your TV.
Tips
• The Streaming Channels menu option is available only if your TV is connected
to the Internet.
• You also can search for streaming channels by using the Search option, as
explained in Searching for something to watch on page 53.

To make it easier to find what you want, the streaming channels in the Roku Channel Store are categorized by topic. Press
the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight the category you want, and then press the RIGHT arrow to move the highlight into
the grid of streaming channel tiles.
When you find a streaming channel you want to add or learn more about, highlight it and press OK to display more details.
• If the streaming channel you are adding is free, you can select Go to channel to start watching it immediately.
• If there is a one-time or recurring fee associated with using the streaming channel, you must agree to the terms and
conditions, accept the fee, and—if you created one when you activated your TV, enter your Roku PIN code to authorize the
charges.
• If you already have a subscription to the streaming channel—for example, you already subscribe to Netflix or you receive
HBO through your cable TV provider—you must complete a different, simple authorization step to add the streaming
channel.
You only have to complete the authorization or activation step one time, when you initially add the streaming channel. After
that, you simply select the streaming channel tile from your Home screen to start watching. (Channel and content
availability is subject to change. Charges may apply to your selection.)
Tip
New streaming channels are added continuously, so be sure to check back every now
and then.

Note
If you don’t remember your PIN, or if want to change whether you need to use a PIN
to make purchases on your Roku account, see Changing your Roku Channel Store PIN
preference on page 67.

Customizing your TV
There are several things you can do to personalize your TV.
Rearrange tiles
Whenever you add a TV input tile, it’s added at the top of your Home screen. Whenever you add a new streaming channel
from the Roku Channel Store, it’s added at the bottom of your Home screen.
You can easily rearrange the order of the tiles on the Home screen to suit your viewing preferences. For example, you might
want Antenna TV to be the first tile in your Home screen. But if you mostly watch one streaming channel, you might want
its tile to be the first one on your Home screen.
Rearranging tiles is easy:
1 From the Home screen, highlight one of the tiles you want to move.
2 Press to display a list of options for the type of tile you selected.
3 Select Move input. The list of options disappears and the highlighted tile shows arrows indicating how it can be moved.

4 Use the arrow buttons to move the highlighted tile to its new position. As you move the tile, it pushes other tiles out of
its way.
5 Press OK to lock the tile into its new position.
6 Repeat these steps to move other tiles until you have arranged your Home screen to your liking.

Edit broadcast TV channel lineup


When you set up the TV tuner as described in Setting up Antenna TV on page 41, your TV adds all the channels with good
signals that it could detect in your area. It’s likely that you now have more channels than you want in your channel list.
To edit the channel lineup, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings>TV inputs >Antenna TV>Edit channel lineup.
You’ll see a screen listing all of your channels. Adjacent to the list of channels is a miniature TV screen playing the
highlighted channel's picture and sound.

Highlight each channel you want to hide, and then press OK to hide the channel.
Tip
If you need to see or hear the highlighted channel, wait a couple of seconds for your
TV to start playing the channel’s picture and sound. Also note that if you've enabled
parental controls and the program on the current channel is blocked, you won’t see a
picture or hear sound while editing the channel lineup.

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 component.
Tip
Renaming an input also changes the icon associated with it.

To rename an input, you can either:


• 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.
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.
Tip
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 broadcast TV channel list. You’ll
have to set up the TV tuner again next time you want to view broadcast TV.
Instructions for setting up the TV tuner can be found in Setting up Antenna TV on
page 41.

• 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
Another way to customize your TV is to change its theme. The theme establishes the look and feel of your TV through colors,
designs, and fonts.
Tip
Themes are available only when your TV is connected to the Internet. 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.
• Custom settings—Turn Featured themes on or off. When Featured themes is on, your TV automatically switches to
featured themes—like certain holiday-inspired 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, your TV always uses your selected
theme.
Change the screensaver
Displaying a still image (such as a logo) for an extended period of time can cause a permanent after-image to be burned into
the screen. To avoid after-image burn-in, your TV turns on a screen saver after it is idle for a few minutes. To change the
screensaver, in the Home screen menu navigate to Settings>Screensaver, and then select a screensaver.
Tip
The Power Saver screensaver reduces the amount of power your TV uses by turning
off the backlight. For example, if the Picture mode is set to Vivid or Normal, Power
Saver reduces power consumption.

Change sound effects volume


Sound effects are the noises your TV makes to let you know it received your command. You can change the volume of sound
effects or turn them off.
To adjust the sound effects volume, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Audio>Menu volume. Navigate to the right and
then change the setting to High, Medium, Low, or Off.
Configure power settings
Power settings let you set up your TV so that it turns on to the location you choose. Power settings also help your TV save
energy by automatically turning it off under certain conditions.
Power on settings
Power on settings tell your TV what to do when you turn on the power. To configure the power on settings, from the Home
screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Power > Power on. Highlight the power on location from the list, and then
press OK to select it.

Auto power off settings


To help you save energy, your TV can automatically turn itself off after a period of inactivity or a period during which no
signal has been detected. It is factory-configured to do both of these things, but you can change these settings if needed.
To configure automatic power off, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > System > Power >Auto power off.
In the Power settings screen, highlight the following options and press OK to turn them on or off:
• After 15 minutes of no signal—If no signal is detected on a TV input for 15 minutes, your TV automatically powers off.
• After 4 hours of no interaction—If no remote control or panel button is pressed for 4 hours and your TV is not displaying
a TV signal or streaming a video, your TV is automatically powered off.

Configure parental controls


Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can view certain kinds of broadcast TV
programs. When a program or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a parental control PIN that only you know.
Note
The parental control feature can be used to hide the Movie Store, TV Store, and
News options that are available on the Home screen menu of TVs manufactured for
the United States. However, the parental controls feature does not block other
streaming content nor content from inputs other than the TV tuner.

Creating a parental control PIN


The first time you access the Parental controls screen, you must create a new parental control PIN. Thereafter, whenever you
want to change parental control settings, unblock programming that has been blocked, change the PIN, or disable parental
controls, you must enter your parental control PIN.
Tip
Your parental control parental control PIN has nothing to do with your Roku PIN. You
can make them the same if you want—this is entirely your choice.

To create a new parental control PIN, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Parental controls. The screen
displays a numeric keypad. Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to enter a four digit code. Then repeat the process to
enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use.
Important
If you forget your PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset operation,
as explained in Factory reset everything on page 67. Be sure to write it down in a safe
place just in case.

Blocking Movie Store, TV Store, and News (US TV models only)


One of the parental control options is to completely hide the entertainment options that are available directly on the Home
screen menu of TVs manufactured for sale in the United States. (The Movie Store, TV Store, and News options are not
available on TVs manufactured for sale in Canada).
To hide Home screen entertainment options:
1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, highlight Home screen and then select or clear either of these options:
• Hide “Movie Store and TV Store”—Removes the Movie Store and TV Store options from the Home screen menu.
• Hide “News”—Removes the News option from the Home screen menu.
Tip
To use either of these options after you've hidden them, you must return to this
screen and remove the check mark from the corresponding Hide command.

Blocking Broadcast TV shows


For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast signal to determine whether to allow a
program to be displayed. Parents can configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a
specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control PIN is entered.
Note
Rating standards differ by country.

Enabling parental control of TV shows


The first step in blocking TV shows is to enable parental control of TV shows.
This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of TV shows on and off without
disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are going to summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone, you
don’t want to have to deal with unblocking shows that you want to watch by entering your parental control PIN. All you
need to do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV shows are unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental
controls again, and all of your parental control settings are restored in a single operation.
To enable parental control of TV shows:
1 In the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner> Parental control of TV shows.
3 Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it and press OK.

Blocking based on US TV ratings


Most broadcast US TV shows—other than movies—contain rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that
parents don’t want others to view. The ratings are divided into two groups that function independently:
• Youth group—TV-Y, TV-Y7
• Main group—TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA
Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, your TV also blocks all
content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content, your TV also unblocks all content with a
lower rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, your TV also blocks TV-14 and TV-MA programs. If you subsequently
unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also unblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked.
Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For example, you can block just coarse language
in shows with a TV-PG rating. If you do, then your TV also blocks shows with coarse language in the higher ratings (TV-14
and TV-MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV-14 ratings does not unblock coarse language in TV-MA
programs, but it does unblock coarse language in TV-PG programs.
To block TV shows based on US television ratings:
1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner> TV ratings. Choose among the following settings:
• Entire ratings—Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to the right and select the first option that
blocks the entire rating level (and all higher rating levels).
• Individual content types—Highlight the rating that contains the content type you want to block, and then select the
content types you want to block from among those listed. Remember that blocking a content type in one rating blocks
the equivalent content type in all higher rating levels.
Blocking based on US movie ratings
Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the ratings are known as MPAA
ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want
others to see. The ratings are:
• G—General audiences
• PG—Parental guidance suggested
• PG-13—Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger
• R—Restricted
• NC-17—Not for age 17 or younger
Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV ratings, blocking movies with a
particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks
movies with a lower rating.
Tip
Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete X
rating, which can still occur in the program data of older movies.

To block movies based on MPAA ratings:


1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV Tuner>Movie ratings.
3 Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically
blocked.
Blocking based on Other ratings
Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when your TV was manufactured. It does this by
detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rating in the
Parental controls.
When your TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list of rating types: Other ratings. If you
see this option in the Parental controls screen, you have tuned to a station that has implemented a new rating table. Once
the new rating table has been downloaded to your TV, it remains in your TV until it is factory reset, and you can configure
blocking based on the new ratings.
New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same ways as the built-in
US TV and MPAA Movie ratings.
Tip
If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with its
settings to understand how to use it.

Blocking based on Canadian English ratings


Canadian-English language and third-language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Action Group on
Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that
parents don't want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are:
• C—Children under 8 years
• C8—Children 8 years and older
• G—Generally suitable for all age groups
• G—Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years
• 14+—Generally not suitable for viewers under 14 years
• 18+—Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years
Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular
rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
To block programs based on AGVOT ratings:
1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner>Canadian English ratings.
3 Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically
blocked.
Blocking based on Canadian French ratings
Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Régie du cinéma du Québec. TV
broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want others to view
based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are:
• G - Generally suitable for all age groups
• 8+—Viewers 8 years and older
• 13+—Viewers 13 years and older
• 16+—Viewers 16 years and older
• 18+—Adults only
Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular
rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
To block programs based on Canadian-French ratings:
1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner>Canadian French ratings.
3 Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically
blocked.
Blocking unrated programs
Some broadcast TV shows and movies are assigned a rating of “Unrated”. Whether or not such programs contain content
that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose to block such programs.
To block all unrated broadcasts:
1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner>Block all unrated programs.
3 Highlight Block and press OK. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changed from unlocked to locked.
Tip
Blocking programs that have been assigned a rating of “Unrated” does not block
programs that have no rating assigned to them (for example a broadcast of a local
town council meeting). Programs that do not have an assigned rating display
Rating NA (for “not applicable,” meaning a rating is not needed). Programs that have
no assigned rating are considered “safe”; therefore, there is no need to block them.

What happens when a TV show is blocked?


After you've set up parental controls, TV shows and movies can be blocked:
• When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose rating exceeds your settings.
• When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and its rating exceeds your settings.
When a program is blocked by parental control settings, your TV displays a blocked message:

Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and audio of the show are blocked, as well as program data that
would normally appear in the area at the bottom of the screen.
To watch the blocked program, you need to know the PIN code defined when you enabled parental controls, as explained in
Creating a parental control PIN on page 59.
1 Press OK to select Unblock and display a PIN pad.

2 Use the arrow buttons to enter your parental control PIN code, and then press OK to select Unblock everything.
After unblocking shows that have been blocked, all blocking is disabled for two hours or until you turn off your TV.
Changing the parental control PIN
To change your parental control PIN:
1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, highlight Change PIN.
3 Move the highlight into the adjacent keypad, and then use the arrow buttons and the OK button to enter a four digit
code. Then repeat the process to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to
use.

Resetting parental controls


So now your kids have grown up and gone away to college, and you no longer want to deal with blocked programs.
To erase all parental control settings:
1 From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2 In the Parental controls screen, highlight Reset parental controls.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm that you want to erase all parental control settings.
Tip
Resetting parental controls also erases your parental control PIN.

More settings
This section describes the features and settings of your TV that were not covered in the other parts of this guide.
Changing network settings
If needed, you can change your network settings at any time. For example, if you change the name of your wireless network
(its SSID) or its password, you will need to change your TV’s settings so that it can continue to connect. Also, if you decided
not to connect to the Internet in Guided Setup on page 32, you can use Network settings to connect at a later time.
To change network settings, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Network, and then press the RIGHT
arrow. At this point, you can choose the following options:
• Update connection—Press OK to start the update process. Your TV uses your current wireless network name and
password to reconfirm the wireless connection, the local network connection, and the Internet connection.
• Set up new Wi-Fi connection—Press OK to start a scan for wireless networks. Your TV scans for the wireless networks
within range and displays the first few it finds in order, with the strongest signals first. In addition to your own wireless
signal, your TV might pick up signals from your neighbors. Now you can do one of the following:
• Select your network name—Select the name of your network and then enter your wireless password if requested.
• Scan again—If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, select Scan again to list all networks in range. The
first scan listed only the first few, strongest wireless signals. The second scan sometimes results in a longer list. If you
still don’t see your network name, you might need to adjust the location of the wireless router or your TV, turn on your
router, or make other changes. When everything is ready, select Scan again to repeat the network scan.
Note
Highlighting Scan Again displays an informational panel with the unique media
access control (MAC) address of your 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 to
display an on-screen keyboard, and use it 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.
Note
Wireless networks that are password-protected display a “padlock” icon adjacent to
the name.

Note
Some wireless networks, such as those found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other public
places, may require you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide
identifying information before letting you connect to the Internet. If the 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 on page 47.

Changing caption settings


You can change many different settings that affect the appearance of captions.
To change caption settings, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Captions, and then press the RIGHT arrow.
At this point, you can choose the following options:
• Captions mode—Choose Off, On, Instant replay, or When mute.
• If you choose On, your TV displays captions whenever they are available in the program information. This setting
applies to Antenna TV, the AV input, and streaming channels.
• If you choose Instant Replay, your TV displays captions only during a replay operation; that is, after pressing to
jump back a few seconds in streaming video. This setting applies only to streaming channels when the program being
streamed supports instant replay.
• If you choose When mute, your TV displays captions only when the sound is muted. This setting applies to Antenna TV,
the AV input, and streaming channels.
Note
If is not available on your remote control, you can use on the Roku mobile app
or the Jump Back button on a universal remote. For more information, see Other
devices on page 69.

This setting reflects the Closed captioning settings in the Options menu for certain TV inputs, as explained in Options menu
settings on page 50. Note that, once enabled, the captions mode remains set for all applicable inputs until you turn it off.
Note
Some streaming channels require you to enable captions through a setting within
their channel even though you have turned on captions everywhere else.

• Text style—Choose from a list of fonts. As you move the highlight to each font, you can see a sample of the result in an
adjacent panel.
• Text edge effect—Choose from a list of edge effect styles, such as raised, depressed, and various shadows. As you move
the highlight to each effect, you can see a sample of the result in an adjacent panel.

Scanning for broadcast TV channels again


There will be times when you need to create a new channel list. For example, you:
• Change cable providers
• Reorient your TV antenna
• Move to a different city with different channels
Whenever you need to update your TV channel list, you can repeat the channel scan.
Tip
Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure you are receiving all of the
latest channels. Broadcasters add and remove channels, move channels to different
parts of the spectrum, and change the power levels of their channels periodically.

To repeat the channel scan, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Scan again for
channels. Then select Start finding channels to begin the channel scan process. The screens and options that appear
during this process are identical to those described in How do I set up the TV tuner? on page 42.
Using your TV in a home theater
Your TV has several features that make it an ideal TV for a home theater. But you might not notice them because they remain
in the background until you decide to use them.
Turning off the speakers
When you use your TV with a sound bar or an external amplifier and speakers, you’ll probably want to turn off the internal
TV speakers.
To turn off your TV’s built-in speakers, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change
the setting.
Tip
Your TV’s internal speakers can be enabled and disabled automatically as needed by
system audio control, as described in Enabling system audio control on page 66. The
internal speakers are also turned off when you use the headphone jack.

Changing the audio mode


Your TV has two audio modes, accessed by navigating in the Home screen menu to Settings>Audio>Audio mode:
• Stereo—Use this setting for internal speakers, headphones, and external stereo amplifiers connected through the
HDMI1 (ARC), SPDIF, or headphone jack.
• Auto—Use this setting to automatically detect the best audio setting based on the audio stream in the content you are
watching. If you have connected your TV to an external Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus compatible amplifier,
receiver, or sound bar through HDMI1 (ARC) or SPDIF, your TV automatically selects the appropriate surround sound
capabilities of the device based on the characteristics of the current program.
Setting up a digital audio connection
You can connect your TV to an external amplifier, receiver, or sound bar by using either of these two connections:
• HDMI ARC—The HDMI Audio Return Channel enables your TV to output digital audio on one of its HDMI
connectors. The connected amplifier can also function simultaneously as an input source to your TV, if needed. To
use the ARC capability, you must connect an HDMI cable from your amplifier's HDMI ARC connector to the HDMI1
(ARC) connector on your TV. You also must:
• Be sure your HDMI cable is certified by HDMI.
• Enable HDMI ARC under Settings > System >Control other devices (CEC), as explained in Enabling HDMI ARC on
page 66.
• SPDIF—Your TV has an SPDIF connector that outputs a digital audio signal. To use the optical output, connect a digital
optical audio cable from the amplifier to the SPDIF connector on your TV.
Note
Dolby Digital Plus format is not available through the SPDIF output. This format is
only available through the HDMI1 (ARC) connection.

After making the required HDMI ARC or digital optical audio connection, go to Settings > Audio > SPDIF and ARC option
and select the audio format to use.
Note
In most cases, Auto detect is the best option. Other settings can result in no sound
when the content you are viewing does not contain the audio stream type you
selected.

Controlling other devices through CEC


Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) enables your TV and other CEC-compatible home entertainment components to
control one other in various ways. First, the CEC-compatible devices must “discover” one another and report their
capabilities. After this, one device can control another according to the features you enable. For example, playing a disc on a
Blu-ray player could switch your TV to the Blu-ray player's input. Or, powering off your TV could also power off the Blu-ray
player and the home theater receiver.
Discovering connected CEC devices
To discover CEC devices:
1 Make sure that your CEC-compatible components are connected to your TV with a suitable high-speed HDMI cable that
supports HDMI ARC and CEC control.
2 Turn on each component and make sure all components have CEC enabled.
Tip
Some manufacturers have their own branded names for CEC functionality, so you
might need to read the product documentation to correctly identify the CEC features
of the device.

3 On your TV’s Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and then select Search
for CEC devices. Press OK to repeat the discovery process, if necessary.
When finished, your TV displays a list of CEC devices that are connected to each HDMI input, as well as any devices that had
previously been connected. Your TV remembers the names of multiple CEC devices even when they are no longer
connected. If the list is longer than the allowed space, press to see a complete list in a scrollable window.
Enabling HDMI ARC
HDMI1 (ARC) is the audio return channel that is available on one of your TV’s HDMI ports. The audio return channel enables
you to send a Dolby Digital audio signal back to a home theater receiver that is also sending an audio and video signal into
your TV. Using HDMI ARC reduces the number of cables needed and optionally lets you control the volume and mute state
of the receiver by enabling system audio control.
HDMI ARC is disabled by default. To enable HDMI ARC, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control
other devices (CEC), and then highlight HDMI ARC. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.
Note
Enabling HDMI ARC also enables System audio control. After enabling HDMI ARC,
you can disable System audio control if you prefer.

Enabling system audio control


System audio control enables your TV remote control to change the volume and mute state of an amplifier or sound bar
connected through HDMI, and to display the external device's volume and mute status in your TV’s on-screen display.
Your TV automatically turns off its internal speakers and sends volume and mute control signals to an external amplifier
when all of the following are true:
• System audio control is enabled on your TV.
• Your TV is connected to a CEC-compatible amplifier, it is powered on, and CEC discoverability is enabled.
• The CEC-compatible amplifier's HDMI ARC connector is connected to your TV’s HDMI1 (ARC) connector with a suitable
HDMI cable.
When the CEC-compatible amplifier is off, your TV automatically turns on its speakers (unless you have turned them off as
described in Turning off the speakers on page 65) and resumes local control of volume and mute state.
To enable or disable system audio control, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other
devices (CEC) and highlight System audio control. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.
Enabling 1-touch play
1-touch play enables a component to control which TV input is active. For example, pressing Play on your Blu-ray player
switches your TV to the Blu-ray input.
1-touch play is disabled by default. To enable 1-touch play, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System >
Control other devices (CEC) and highlight 1-touch play. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.
Enabling system standby
The system standby feature causes other components to power off when you power off your TV. Depending on the CEC
System Standby implementation, it also might enable connected components to power off your TV when you power off the
component.
System standby is disabled by default. To enable system standby, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System
> Control other devices (CEC) and highlight System standby. Press OK to enable or disable the feature.

Restarting your TV
You can restart your TV when necessary. Restarting has the same effect as unplugging your TV power and then plugging it
in again.
To restart your TV, navigate to Settings > System > Power and then select System restart. Highlight Restart, and then
press OK to confirm restart.
While your TV restarts, the screen goes dark for a few seconds, and then displays the startup screen for a few more seconds.
When the restart operation completes, the TV displays the activity you selected in Power on settings on page 58.
Resetting your TV
You can choose to reset only your TV picture and audio settings to their original values, or perform a full factory reset to
return your TV to the state it was in when you first unpacked and turned it on.
Reset audio/video settings
To reset only your TV picture and audio settings to their original values, navigate to Settings > System > Advanced system
settings> Factory reset, and then highlight Reset TV audio/video settings. Read the information on the screen to make
sure you understand what the reset operation does.
To proceed with the reset operation, press PLAY/PAUSE three times in a row.
Factory reset everything
A full factory reset returns your TV to its original, out-of-the-box state. When finished, you must repeat Guided Setup,
reconnecting to the Internet, re-linking your Roku account, and reloading any streaming channels. You also must repeat
Antenna TV setup and input configuration.
Factory reset is the recommended choice if you want to transfer your TV to another owner, and is the only choice if you want
to switch from store mode to home mode (if you inadvertently selected store mode during Guided Setup).
To perform a factory reset, navigate to Settings > System > Advanced system settings> Factory reset, and then highlight
Factory reset everything. Read the information on the screen to make sure you understand what this reset operation does.
To proceed with the full factory reset, use the on-screen number pad to enter the code displayed on the screen, and then
select OK to proceed.
When the factory reset operation completes, your TV restarts and displays the first Guided Setup screen.
What if I can’t access the Factory Reset option?
It is possible that your TV might get into a state where you cannot access the various menus, including the menu option that
lets you perform a factory reset operation. If that happens, you can force your TV to reset by following these steps:
1 Using a straightened paper clip or ball-point pen, press and hold the recessed RESET button on your TV connector
panel.
2 Continue to hold the RESET button for approximately 15 seconds.
During this time, the status light turns off, and then turns on bright, and then pulses. When the reset cycle completes, the
light either comes on dim (if your TV power was off when you started) or your TV screen comes on and the light turns off
(if your TV power was on when you started).
3 When the status light turns on steady dim or your TV screen comes on, release the RESET button.
4 Proceed through Guided Setup. See Setting up your TV on page 33.
Changing your Roku Channel Store PIN preference
When you created your Roku account, you were given the opportunity to create a PIN code and to specify when it must be
used. If you created a Channel Store PIN and want to change it, or you don’t remember your PIN, or if you didn’t create a
Channel Store +PIN and want to add one, you can easily make these changes.
1 On a computer, tablet, or smartphone, use your web browser to go to https://my.roku.com.
2 Enter your email address and password to sign in. After signing in, the My Account page appears.
3 Under PIN Preference, click Update to open the Choose Your PIN Preferences page.
4 Skip this step if you just want to change your PIN. Otherwise, choose the option your prefer from among those listed:
• Require a PIN to make purchases or to add any item from the Channel Store.
• Require a PIN to make purchases.
• Do not require a PIN to make purchases.
5 If you choose either of the first two options, enter your PIN twice in the appropriate boxes.
6 Click Save Changes to save your changes and return to the My Account page. Note that your current setting is described
under PIN Preference.
