This document describes the Philips Roku TV, a smart television designed for home entertainment. It integrates Roku's streaming platform, offering access to thousands of streaming channels, and also functions as a traditional TV with a built-in tuner for antenna or cable connections.
The Philips Roku TV serves as a central hub for entertainment, combining live broadcast television with a vast library of streaming content. It allows users to watch local over-the-air broadcasts, stream movies and TV shows from various services, and access a wide range of apps. The TV is designed to be user-friendly, with a simplified remote control and an intuitive on-screen interface. Its smart capabilities include automatic software updates, ensuring that the TV always has the latest features and improvements.
Remote Control: The TV comes with a dedicated remote control that includes essential buttons for power, navigation (directional keypad), OK (select), back, home, instant replay, rewind, fast forward, play/pause, volume control, and mute. It also features shortcut buttons for popular streaming channels and an "Options" button for quick access to picture settings and display options. The remote operates wirelessly, requiring two AAA batteries.
Roku Mobile App: For enhanced control, users can download the free Roku mobile app on their smartphone or tablet. This app transforms the mobile device into a fully functional remote with added features like voice search and a keyboard for easier text input, simplifying the process of searching for content or entering login details.
Guided Setup: The initial setup process is guided, making it easy for users to connect the TV to their wireless network and create a Roku account. The TV automatically detects available wireless networks, and on-screen instructions walk the user through each step.
Internet Connectivity: To fully utilize its smart features, the TV requires a wireless internet connection. This enables access to streaming channels, software updates, and other online services. A wireless router and an internet connection are necessary for streaming content.
Roku Account: A Roku account is essential for accessing the Roku Channel Store and its vast array of streaming channels. While creating an account is free, providing credit card information can streamline the process of renting or purchasing content and subscribing to services. A unique PIN can be set up to prevent unauthorized purchases.
Antenna/Cable Connection: The TV includes a built-in tuner, allowing users to connect an antenna for free over-the-air broadcasts or a cable connection (for free cable only, not compatible with cable TV requiring a set-top box). Once connected, users can access local broadcast TV channels through the "Antenna TV" tile on the home screen.
Live TV Pause: When a 16 GB USB drive is connected to the TV, users can utilize the Live TV Pause feature. This allows pausing live broadcast TV for up to 90 minutes, with the ability to rewind and fast forward through the paused content using the remote's RWD scan and FWD scan buttons. The directional keypad can also be used to scroll through paused scenes.
Smart Guide: While in the antenna TV input, pressing the D-Pad left button on the remote brings up a smart guide, which lists available antenna TV channels.
Parental Controls: The TV offers robust parental control features, allowing users to restrict access to certain broadcast TV programs. A four-digit PIN can be set up to block content based on US TV ratings (e.g., G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) or individual content types (e.g., violence, sexual content, language). These controls apply to content from the TV tuner and streaming options on the Home screen but do not block content from other TV inputs or streaming channels added to the TV. If the parental control PIN is forgotten, a factory reset is the only way to recover access.
Automatic Software Updates: Once connected to the internet, the Philips Roku TV automatically receives regular software updates in the background. This ensures that the TV always has the latest features, performance improvements, and security updates without requiring manual intervention from the user.
Picture and Sound Settings: The "Options" button on the remote provides quick access to picture settings, allowing users to customize the visual experience. The TV also supports various audio technologies, including Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, for an immersive sound experience.
HDMI and Other Inputs: The TV is equipped with multiple HDMI inputs for connecting external devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and soundbars. It also includes other inputs like USB for media playback and an optical audio output for connecting to external audio systems.
Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to help users diagnose and resolve common issues related to power, remote control functionality, network connectivity, and picture/sound problems. It provides tips such as ensuring proper power supply, checking battery installation, verifying network connections, and performing system restarts.
Firmware Updates: The automatic software update feature is a key maintenance aspect. By keeping the TV's firmware up to date, users benefit from improved performance, bug fixes, and new features without needing to manually download and install updates. This ensures the TV remains optimized and secure over time.
Factory Reset: In cases where parental control PINs are forgotten or persistent issues arise, a factory reset option is available. This restores the TV to its original factory settings, which can resolve many software-related problems. However, it will erase all personalized settings and require a re-setup of the TV.
Cleaning: The manual advises on proper care, suggesting that the TV should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. It warns against using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the screen or casing.
Battery Replacement: The remote control requires two AAA batteries, and the manual provides clear instructions on how to open the battery compartment and replace them when needed, ensuring continuous functionality of the remote.
USB Drive for Live TV Pause: For the Live TV Pause feature, a 16 GB USB drive is required. Users should ensure the USB drive is in good working condition and properly connected to the TV for this feature to function correctly.
Copyright and Licensing Information: The manual includes important copyright and licensing information for various technologies used in the TV, such as HDMI, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos. It also clarifies that Funai Corporation Inc. does not guarantee continuous access to all services, content, or software, as these may change over time.
