6Connect your TVThis section explains how to connect your devices to your TV.Connecting an antenna, cable or satellite boxIf 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 IN input on the TV.TIP: If you are using an antenna with a 300 ohm twin-lead cable, you need to use a 300-75 ohm adapter (not provided) to adapt the cable to a connection that is compatible with the TV’s antenna input.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 NTSCConnecting a component with a composite AV video cableIf the best connection available on your component 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 channelConnect each plug to the corresponding connector on the component and on the TV.or ANT OUTCable Set top boxRF OutEXTERNAL DEVICETV PORTANT/CABLE IN(not included)(not included)AV OUTVideoLRWhite (L)White (L)Yellow (Video)Yellow or Green (Video)Red (R)Red (R)Audio Cable TV PORTSEXTERNAL DEVICESDVD Player/RecorderVideoCamera Set-top boxSatellite ReceiverSatelliteantennacableVCRConnections and setup
7Connecting a component with an HDMI® cableIf 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 component to send its signal through its HDMI connector.The connector labeled 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 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 > TVspeakers and change the setting.NOTES Because the HDMI connector provides video and audio signals, it is not necessary to connect an audio cable. We strongly recommend to use HDMI Cable with 2 ferrite cores as shown in the figure.Connecting headphones or analog sound barTIP: Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in speakers.NOTE Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.Connecting a USB device to the USB port1. Connect USB devices such as hard drives, USB sticks and digital cameras for browsing photos, listening to music, and watching recorded movies into the USB port.2. Select the Roku Media Player tile from the Homescreen.NOTES The TV’s USB port can supply a maximym of 500mA at 5V DC. USB devices that require more than 500mA must have an external power supply. Exceeding the maximum rating of the TV’s USB port may result in damage or data loss.HDMIHDMIEXTERNAL DEVICESDVDSet-top BoxTV PORTHDMI Cable TV PORT EXTERNAL DEVICEHeadphoneWhite(L)Red(R)Audio Cable LINE OUTTV PORT EXTERNAL DEVICEUSBConnections and setup
8Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound barYou 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 OUTPUT (OPTICAL) (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 Enabling HDMI ARC on page 54.Preparing for Internet connectivityConnecting to a Wireless Network – You have the option to connect your TV to a wireless or wired network to access the Internet. We recommend that your wireless connection support the IEEE 802.11b/g/n specification for the best experience.Wireless Adapterbuilt-in the TV set LAN CableWireless Wi-Fi device orWireless IP sharer The LAN Port on the WallNOTES You must use the Hisense built-in Wireless LAN Adapter to use a wireless network because the TV does not support an external USB network adapter. To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP access point (IP sharer is not a common term in the US). If the wireless IP sharer supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network. If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.EXTERNAL DEVICESPowerlessBass Speaker SpeakerDigital Sound BarAudio AmplifierDIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL)TV PORTSOptical Cable HDMI / ARCHDMI Cable (not included)Connections and setup
9Connections and setupConnecting to a Wired (Ethernet) Network – You can attach your TV to your LAN in one of the three following ways:Option 1. You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a Cat 5 LAN cable. Option 2 You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the [LAN] port on the back of your TV to an IP Sharer which is connected to an external modem. Use an Ethernet cable for the connection.Option 3 Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN porton the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet with an Ethernet cable. If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so you don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).NOTESYou can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use static IP addresses.The Modem Port on the WallModem Cable Ethernet Cable Ethernet CableLAN Port on TVExternal Modem(ADSL / VDSL / Cable TV)IP Sharer (Router)(with DHCP server) External Modem(ADSL / VDSL / Cable TV)Ethernet CableModem Cable The Modem Port on the WallLAN Port on TVThe LAN Port on the Wall LAN Port on TVEthernet Cable

12With 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 the TV to your Roku account Connect devices such as a DVD player, game console, or cable boxNOTE 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 55.Starting Guided SetupTo start Guided Setup, press the red [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:The status light blinks every time the TV is busy doing something; in this case it’s powering up and getting ready for you.The Power-on screen appears and the status light blinks slowly for a few more seconds. The Power-on screen displays a TV logo while the TV starts up.After a few seconds, the Guided Setup starts.TIP: On TVs sold in the United States, if you are blind or visually impaired, you can activate the Audio Guide, a text-to-speech screen reader to help you navigate the TV’s menus and commands. To enable the Audio Guide, press the button on the remote control four times in rapid succession. Repeat to disable the Audio Guide. (The button is located directly below the directional pad on the right side of the Roku remote control.)For more information on using the Audio Guide and adjusting its settings, see Configure accessibility on page 46.If the TV prompts you for a language, press the [DOWN] on the remote control to highlight your preferred language.Guided Setup
13Setting up your TVWith the first Guided Setup screen on your TV, follow these steps to set up your TV:1. Press the [OK] or [RIGHT] buttons 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 the TV.NOTE ‘Store’ mode 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 on page 55, and then repeat Guided Setup.After you select Set up for home use, the 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, the TV might pick up signals from your neighbors.3. Press [UP] or [DOWN] 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 compatible smartphone or tablet to provide the needed information. For more information, see Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room on page 30.Other options:Wired (Ethernet) – Sign in to your wired network. Your TV is currently not connected to a wired network. To set up a wired connection: Plug an Ethernet cable into your TV. Select ‘Connect to wired network’.Guided Setup
14Connect to the Internet later – If you’re unable to connect to the Internet, that’s OK. You can skip this step and use the 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 20.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 18 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 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. Scan again to see all networks appears if the TV finds more than seven wireless networks, because the 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 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 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.If you select a wireless 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.4. After you submit your network password, the TV displays progress messages as it connects to your wireless network, your local network, and the Internet.Guided Setup
155. As soon as the TV is able to connect to the Internet, it downloads and installs its first software update, and then restarts.TIP: Your TV automatically checks for updates periodically. These updates provide new features and improve your overall experience with the TV. After an update, you might notice that some options have moved, and that there are new options or features.After the TV restarts, it displays the Activation screen:NOTE A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels.

166. Using a computer, tablet, or smartphone with an Internet connection, go to the web address displayed on the screen and enter the code that appears on your screen. After you log in or create your Roku account, the link page suggests that you select some streaming channels. After you confirm your selections, the TV gets an acknowledgement, and then adds your preexisting and newly-selected streaming channels to your Roku TV. This process is automatic and takes a few moments—a little longer if you already have a lot of streaming channels to add.TIP: Streaming channels from all Roku streaming devices associated with your account are synchronized periodically, so all of your Roku streaming devices have the same streaming channels (subject to compatibility with the device). After it adds your selected streaming channels, the TV helps you set up the devices that you’re connecting to it, such as a cable box, Blu-ray player, or game console:7. Press [OK] or [RIGHT] to proceed: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 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. 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 and purchasing entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and convenient.Guided Setup
178. 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. On each input that has a connected and active device, you can see its picture and hear its sound.9. Press [UP] or [DOWN] to highlight the label you want to associate with the input, and then press [OK] to move on to the next 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.

21What 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 the TV’s USB port.With streaming, you can watch 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 chose from thousands of streaming channels that over a huge selection of entertainment: Over 450,000 movies and TV shows (fewer choices are available outside the United States) Unlimited music, live and on-demand Tons of live and on-demand sports Commercial-free kids programming International language programming in 22 languages 24x7 news and in-depth news commentaryMany streaming channels are free. Some streaming channels, like VUDU and Amazon 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 available at no additional cost 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 at no additional cost.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 Homescreen, 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 42.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 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:Every 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 menu, select Settings, then 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 of Setting up your TV on page 13.Benefits of connecting
22Despite all of the entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you may also want to watch broadcast TV. You can 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 Removeunwanted tiles on page 44.When you set up Antenna 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 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 44.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 or other device is connected to the TV’s ANT/CABLE IN input.2. On the Home screen, select the Antenna TV tile. 3. Read the simple on-screen instructions and select Start finding channels.Setting up Antenna TV
234. 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.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).6. Wait while your TV scans for broadcast (antenna TV) stations…Why does the TV need my time zone?The TV needs to know your time zone so that it can correctly display information about the program you are currently watching.Setting up Antenna TV
24… and then cable TV channels.Scanning for channels can take several minutes.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, the TV shows the number of channels it added.8. If you connected your TV to the Internet, you have the option of setting up Live TV Pause. Pausing Live TV on page 28 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 add and remove channels, move channels to different parts of the spectrum, and change the power levels of their channels periodically. 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.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, go to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Scan again for channels > Start finding channels.Setting up Antenna TV

When a program or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a parental control PIN that only you know.NOTE Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming options, if any, on the Home screen menu. Parental controls do not block content on other TV inputs or content from streaming channels you add to your TV.Creating a Parental Control PINThe 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.Customizing your TV
48Tip: Your 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 Factoryreset everything on page 55. Be sure to write it down in a safe place just in case.Blocking Movie Store, TV Store, and NewsOne of the parental control options is to completely hide the entertainment options that are available directly on the Home screen menu.To hide Home screen entertainment options:1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your 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 Movies 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 showsFor 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 showsThe 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 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 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 ratingsMost 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-MAWithin each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with a lower rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the 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 Customizing your TV
49shows with a TV-PG rating. If you do, then the 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 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 ratingsMost 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 youngerUnlike 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 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 ratingsYour TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when the 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 the 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 the TV, it remains in the 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 ratingsCanadian-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 olderCustomizing your TV
50 G – Generally suitable for all age groups PG – 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 yearsBlocking 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 ratingsCanadian-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 onlyBlocking 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 programsSome 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 PIN.2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Block all unrated programs.3. Highlight Unrated programs 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.Customizing your TV
51When a program is blocked by parental control settings, the 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 47.1. Press [OK] to select Unblock and display a PIN pad.2. Use the arrow buttons to enter your 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 the TV.Changing the parental control PINTo change your parental control PIN:1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your 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 controlsSo 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 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.Customizing your TV

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 the TV to the Blu-ray player’s input. Or, powering off the TV could also power off the Blu-ray player and the home theater receiver.Discovering connected CEC devicesTo discover CEC devices:1. Make sure that your CEC-compatible components are connected to the 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 the TV’s Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and then select Searchfor CEC devices. Press [ OK ] to repeat the discovery process, if necessary.When finished, the TV displays a list of CEC devices that are connected to each HDMI® input, as well as any devices that had previously been connected.

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 controlSystem audio control enables the 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 the TV’s on-screen display. The 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 the TV.The 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 the TV’s HDMI ARC connector with a suitable HDMI® cable.When the CEC-compatible amplifier is off, the TV automatically turns on its speakers (unless you have turned them off as More settings

This agreement to arbitrate does not apply to any Claim (a) in which a party is attempting to protect its intellectual property rights (such as its patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights, but not including its privacy or publicity rights), or (b) that may be brought in small-claims court.5. If the agreement to arbitrate in this provision is found to be invalid, unenforceable or inapplicable to a given Claim between You and Roku, then any and all proceedings to resolve such Claim must be brought exclusively in a federal court of competent jurisdiction in the Northern District of California or in a state court in Santa Clara County, California. You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.Other informations
