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 to Do step 1
Ready for the step-by-step? We’ve only got four…
connect your pLAyer
Connect your Roku player to your tV in one of two ways:
HiGH DeFinition: if you have an hDtV and want the best picture quality, 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 5.1 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.

stAnDArD DeFinition: if you have a standard-definition tV, do not have an
hDMi cable or do not have a free hDMi port on your tV, use the included a/V
cable to make the connection depicted in the diagram below:
• Connect one end to the composite video and analog audio ports on the back
of your tV (look for Video in, then match the yellow/Red/White ports).
• Connect the other end to the a/V port on the back of your Roku player.
it’s speciAL. the a/V cable included with your Roku player was custom-built
for Roku. Because the Roku 2 Xs is so small, we use a single connector into the
Roku player to carry video and stereo audio.

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 (also called source) on your tV or tV remote to cycle
through the various video inputs available until you see a Roku screen.

easy fix.

• Make sure your tV is turned on. (this tip could save you some embarrassment.)

tV or home theater receiver are pushed in all the way.
• Make sure the video input on your tV or home theater receiver is set to match
the output (usually hDMi or composite video) used with the Roku player. Most
tVs have an input button on the remote control to change video inputs.
• Make sure the power cable for the Roku player is connected snugly to the
Roku player on one end and to a working power source on the other end. if
the Roku player is powered, the status light on the front of the unit will be on.

cable from your Roku player is connected to an hDMi-in port on your receiver
and the hDMi cable from an hDMi-out port on your receiver is connected to
your tV.
