Status light – Flashes slowly when the Roku player starts up. Glows when it’s on. Flashes once with each press of the remote control. USB port – Plays your home videos, movies, music and photos from supported USB drives. For supported file types, visit roku.com/usb. Power port – Connects your Roku player to a 120V AC power source with the included power adapter. Reset button – Resets your Roku player to its original factory settings when pressed and held for 10 seconds (a feature you’ll rarely, if ever, use). Ethernet port – Connects your Roku player to a wired network with an Ethernet cable (not included). HDMI port – Connects your Roku player to an HDTV with an HDMI cable (not included). Storage expansion slot – Lets you increase your storage capacity for Roku channels and games with a microSD card (optional, not included).

Did you notice? Your Roku player has no on/off switch. It’s simpler that way and draws very little power—less than a nightlight! Keep it plugged in so that it can download the latest software updates automatically.

What you need

HDTV

Roku player

HDMI cable (sold separately)

Router

High-speed Internet connection (DSL or cable modem)

Pssst! Your router can be wireless (any Wi-Fi) or wired. For wired networks, you’ll also need an Ethernet cable (not included).

What to do Step 1 Ready for the step-by-step? We’ve only got four…

Connect your player Use an HDMI cable (not included) to make the connection depicted in the diagram below:

•• Connect one end to the HDMI port on the back of your Roku player. •• Connect the other end to an open HDMI port on your TV.

Did you know? Because HDMI outputs digital video and audio, you don’t need a separate audio cable. HDMI also supports up to 7.1 surround sound (where available). Got a receiver? You can also use HDMI to route video and audio directly through your receiver if it supports HDMI video pass-through.

What to do Step 2 Power up key components In this step, we’ll make sure all systems are GO! First, power your Roku remote by inserting the included batteries: •• Turn the remote control over and locate the rectangular battery door on the

rear of the unit. •• Press the latch at the top of the battery door down while simultaneously

removing the battery door. •• Insert each battery negative (-) side first, pushing it into the coil and then into

the compartment. Do NOT insert batteries positive (+) side first. Place the battery door back over the compartment and press it gently down until the latch snaps securely into place.

Power tip! Always replace dead batteries with two brand-new batteries from the same manufacturer. Never use damaged batteries. If your remote gets warm/hot during use, discontinue use and contact Roku Customer Support immediately at support.roku.com

What to do Step 2 (continued) Next, power on your Roku player by connecting it to a wall outlet using the included power adapter, like this:

Finally, power on your TV and look for a Roku message to fill the screen.

Blank screen? If your TV does not display a Roku screen, make sure your TV input matches the physical connection used to connect your Roku player. Press the Input button (sometimes called Source) on your TV or TV remote to cycle through the various video inputs available until you see a Roku screen.

What to do Step 3 Configure your network Step 3 establishes your network connection and brings out your inner geek. You can do it! Just choose either wireless or wired and read on for instructions: Wireless: If you use a wireless network, you can grab that Roku remote and jump right into Guided Setup. When prompted, select “Wireless” as your network connection and have your network name and password ready. Then: •• Select your network from the list of available networks. •• Enter your network password, if you use one. Remember, network password
