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  
tV  
Roku player  
(hD or standard denition)  
or  
a/V cable  
(included)  
hDMi cable  
(sold separately)  
Wireless rounter  
(any Wi-Fi)  
high-speed internet connection  
(DsL or cable modem)  
 
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 dont  
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.  
 
What to Do step 1  
(ContinueD)  
stAnDArD DeFinition: if you have a standard-denition 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.  
 
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 the batteries into their slots, making sure to match the positive (+) and  
negative (-) signs.  
Place the battery door back over the compartment and press it gently down  
until the latch snaps securely into place.  
 
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 (also 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!  
wireLess: the Roku player will automatically detect wireless networks in your  
area, so you can grab that Roku remote and jump right into Guided setup. at  
wireless set up, have your network name & password ready and do the following:  
select your network from the list of available networks.  
enter your network password, if you use one. Remember, network passwords  
are case sensitive.  
Dos AnD Don’ts on wHere to pLAce your roKu pLAyer:  
Do place your player within range of your wireless network.  
Don’t place your player in an enclosed cabinet; it may interfere with  
the wireless signal.  
Don’t place your player beneath anything; it may cause the player to  
overheat. eeeeks.  
 
What to Do step 4  
coMpLete GuiDeD setup  
its the nal stretch and hooray—its a breeze! Continue following the on-screen  
instructions and you’ll:  
Get the latest software.  
select the video output resolution.  
Link the Roku player to your Roku account on your computer.  
and setup is done...congratulations! Continue using that Roku remote, which you  
can learn more about on the following pages, to personalize your channel line-up,  
stream movies or play games. the fun part has just begun, we promise.  
your roKu Account: During Guided setup, you’ll be prompted to  
create your Roku account online at roku.com/link. your Roku player will  
generate a unique code that links your player to your new account. Roku  
accounts are free and secure. and while a valid credit card number is  
required to create your account, rest assured you will only be charged if  
you authorize purchases of apps and games from the Roku Channel store.

easy fix.

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.

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.

tips on Dos and Don’ts regarding Roku placement in step 3.)  
Make sure there are no obstructions, like cement walls, between your Roku  
player and your wireless router.  
Make sure you select the correct wireless router on the “Choose wireless  
network” screen.  
Make sure you input the correct password, if your network is security-enabled  
(password is case sensitive).
