o Once connected to the internet, your Roku player will check to see if a software update
is available. If there is, it will download the latest version and then reboot.
4. Set the display type
o Your Roku player will analyze the HDMI connection to determine the best display
resolution so you don’t have to manually configure the settings. To change the display
type at a later time, go to Settings > Display type.
5. Create a Roku account and activate your Roku player
o In order to activate your Roku player, it must be linked to a Roku account. Your Roku
account keeps track of which Roku devices you own and allows you to add free and
purchase channels from the Roku Channel Store.
Note: There is NEVER a charge to create a Roku account.
o Instructions for activating your Roku player will be displayed on your TV, including an
activation code; e.g. “XCV5TG”. You will be required to visit my.roku.com/link on your
computer or smartphone, enter the code and follow the instructions to activate your
Roku player.
Note: Roku does NOT charge for device activation. When entering
roku.com/link into your web browser, type it correctly to avoid fraudulent
websites.
6. You are done!
Once you have completed all the activation steps, your Roku player will be ready to use.
Tips: You can personalize your Roku player by changing your theme or screensaver. You can
use the Roku Channel Store to add new streaming channels, games, themes, screensavers, and
other apps.
Why is the image not displayed in HDR or the picture quality poor when I watch 4K HDR
content?
When you specifically watch a 4K HDR movie or TV show on your HDR-capable Roku device,
you may notice the image is not displayed in HDR, or the picture quality is poor. If you
encounter this behavior, you may need to update the software on your HDR-capable TV. You
can typically find instructions how to do this along with the latest software on the TV
manufacturer’s website. Once you confirm that your TV is running the latest software, check that
it is properly configured to enable HDR on the specific input to which your Roku player is
connected. Some TVs that support HDR do not enable this feature by default.
