Your Roku account: During Guided Setup, you’ll be prompted to
create your Roku account online at roku.com/link. Your TV will
generate a unique code that links your TV to your new account.
Roku accounts are free, 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.
Troubleshooting
Connecting brings out your TVs full potential!
Your easiest way to endless entertainment
If you cannot see a picture on your TV
Make sure your TV and the device you
want to watch (cable box, Blu-ray player,
game console, etc.) are turned on and
plugged into a working wall outlet.
Make sure your power cable is connected.
If you cannot connect to your wireless
home network during guided setup
Make sure the correct wireless network name
is selected.
Make sure the wireless network password is
correctly entered (password is case sensitive).
Improve wireless signal by rotating the router
slightly (even a few inches can help).
Having trouble completing the guided setup? Don’t worry, its usually an easy fix.
If you cannot hear sound
Make sure TV volume is turned up and not on mute.
Try only the TV speakers by disconnecting any
connection to audio devices (like headphones or
audio video receivers).
If the TV remote control isnt working
Remove any obstruction and point the remote at
the TV’s IR receiver (see Get to know your TV).
Try a fresh set of batteries.
If the status light on the front of your TV
flashes once each time you press a remote
button, the problem is not with the remote.
Unplug the TV and plug it back in.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides guidance on maintaining the TV and troubleshooting common issues:

    • Remote Control Not Working: Users should remove any obstructions and point the remote at the TV's IR receiver. Trying a fresh set of batteries is also recommended. If the status light on the front of the TV flashes once per button press but the remote still doesn't work, the issue is likely not with the remote; unplugging and re-plugging the TV is suggested.
