GET YOUR GAME ON! Just a couple of fun-facts about your Roku enhanced remote. • It’s sensitive and smart. The Roku XS remote incorporates motion-sensing technology, allowing more precise and detailed control of gameplay. • It comes with an adjustable wrist strap—for good reason. Since some games make you sweat, sporting the wrist strap is a very good idea. You don’t want to crack the screen of your beautiful TV—or harm anyone or anything around you.
Troubleshooting Having trouble completing Guided Setup? Don’t worry: it’s usually an easy fix. If you cannot see a picture on your TV: • Make sure your TV is turned on. (This tip could save you some embarrassment.) • Make sure the connectors on the cables between your Roku player and your TV or home theater receiver are pushed in all the way. • Make sure the video input on your TV or home theater receiver is set to match the output (usually HDMI or composite video) used with the Roku player.
Troubleshooting (CONTINUED) • Make sure you select the correct wireless router name on the “Choose wireless network” screen. • Make sure you input the correct password, if your network is security-enabled (password is case sensitive). • If you have turned off SSID broadcasting on your wireless router, you can add your network by selecting “Add network” from the “Select wireless network” screen.
