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.
PAIRING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL: The Roku remote should automatically pair with your Roku player at the beginning of Guided Setup. If you are not able to use the remote to navigate through Guided Setup, you can manually pair the Roku remote by following these steps: 1 Be sure to turn off or move other devices that are near the Roku player. 2 Open the Roku remote battery compartment using the instructions in Step 2. 3 Place the Roku remote in close proximity with your Roku player.
