Connections and setup
Refer to your TV’s Quick Start Guide or other provided documentation to for model-specific
information about attaching the base or a wall mount and making connections to AC power
and to your other audio/video devices. The following information applies to all Roku TV
models.
Connecting an antenna, cable, or satellite box
If you are using an antenna, CATV cable without a set-top box, or a cable or satellite box that
has only an antenna output, connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not provided) from the device
to the ANT/CABLE input on the TV.
Tip: If you are using an antenna with a 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you need to use a 300-to-
75-ohm adapter (not provided) to adapt the twin-lead cable to a connection that is
compatible with the TV’s antenna input.
Tip: If you receive your TV stations through a set top box from a cable or satellite TV provider,
connect it to the TV using the best connection method available. From most to least desirable:
•
HDMI® input – Digital HD and SD video
•
AV input – analog SD video
•
Antenna input – analog SD video using NTSC
Connecting external equipment with a composite AV
video cable
If the best connection available on your device is AV or composite video output, connect it to
the TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV cables typically have three
RCA-type plugs on each end, color coded as follows:
•
Yellow – Video
•
Red – Audio, right channel
•
White or black – Audio, left channel
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the device and on the TV.
Note: Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the breakout
cable (included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your composite cable.
