For example, say “Hey Alexa, pause Roku in the living room.” For information on adding the Alexa Roku skills and controlling your Roku TV, see: https://support.roku.
Connections and setup Before initial setup Protect against power surges • • • • Connect all components before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip. NEVER plug your TCL Roku TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. Turn off the TV before you connect or disconnect any cables. Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions.
Set up your new TV Open the box and remove the TV and other items. Be careful, the TV is heavy! We strongly recommend that two people unbox the TV. Be sure to check all the foam packaging as the stands from some TV’s are stored in the foam for protection. What’s in the box To mount on a wall If you are mounting your TCL Roku TV to the wall, do not attach the TV base stand or TV stand column.
Follow the directions supplied with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall. Caution: Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of five times the TVs net weight to avoid damage. Note: The wall mount bracket and the screws are not included To use the stand Your TCL Roku TV comes without the stands attached so that you can choose to use the stands or mount your TV to a wall using a wall mount (sold separately). If you want to mount your TV to the wall, don’t attach the stand legs.
Connecting an antenna, cable, or satellite box If you are using an antenna, CATV cable without a set-top box, or a cable or satellite box that has only an antenna output, connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not provided) from the device to the ANT/CABLE input on the TV. Tip: If you are using an antenna with a 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you need to use a 300-to-75-ohm adapter (not provided) to adapt the twin-lead cable to a connection that is compatible with the TV’s antenna input.
Note: Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the breakout cable (included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your composite cable. Connecting external equipment with an HDMI® cable If possible, connect your devices using HDMI® cables (not provided). They help to provide the best video quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is needed. For better picture quality, we recommend that you use cables designated as High Speed HDMI® Cables.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not affected by TV volume or mute settings and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want to use your amplifier or soundbar to control the TV volume. To turn off the TV’s built-in speakers, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change the setting.
Preparing for Internet connectivity If you want to watch streaming content and take advantage of most of the cool features of your Roku TV, connect it to the Internet through a wireless modem/router or a wireless access point (not provided). The TV has a built-in wireless LAN adapter. Note: The TV supports only its internal wireless network adapter—it does not support the use of a USB network adapter. Select models have both wired and wireless network connectivity.

These updates provide new features and improve your overall experience with the TV. After an update, you might notice that some options have moved, and that there are new options or features. This User Guide describes version 9.3.

Setting up live TV In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you might want to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to the ANT input. On your Roku TV, you can watch broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices: select the Live TV tile from the Home screen. The first time you select the Live TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner.
How do I set up the TV tuner? 1. Make sure your antenna (not provided) or TV cable is connected to the TV’s ANT/CABLE input. 2. On the Home screen, select the Live TV tile. If it is not on your Home screen, go to Settings > TV Inputs to add it. 3. Read the simple on-screen instructions, and then select Start finding channels. 4. If prompted, select your time zone. You’ll only need to do this if the TV can’t figure out your time zone from your Internet connection.

In most cases, it can get the time zone automatically and skips this step. 5. When prompted, select whether to add analog channels 3 and 4. These channels enable you to connect older set top boxes, VCRs, or game consoles. 6.

When the channel scans finish, the TV shows the number of channels it added.
8. Only in connected mode, you have the option of setting up Live TV Pause. Pausing live TV explains how to set up and use this feature. If you don’t want to set up Live TV Pause, or if this option is not available to you, select Done to start watching live TV.

Searching for something to watch Searching for movies and programs across streaming channels and live TV is one of the unique features of your Roku TV. Within a single search operation, you can search by: • Movie name • TV program name • Actor or director name • Streaming channel name • Interactive game name • Popular quotes, such as “May the Force be with you.” • Genre, including the special genres, “free” and “4K.
Keyboard search using the remote 1. Select Search on the Home screen menu. 2. Use the purple directional pad to navigate the on-screen keyboard, entering a few characters of the search term. Each additional character you enter narrows down the search, making the search results more relevant. You’ll often see the results you are seeking after entering only a few letters. 3. When you see the program you are searching for, press RIGHT to highlight it.
Searching from the Roku mobile app Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make searching even faster. Use your mobile device’s keypad to type more quickly and easily than with the on-screen keyboard on your TV. Or, search by touching the Voice Search icon and saying the name of the movie, TV program, actor, director, genre, streaming channel, or game. When you use the Roku mobile app to search, search results are shown on your mobile device instead of on the TV screen.
Searching with Amazon Alexa Use your Amazon Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Echo Show, or the Amazon Alexa mobile app to search for programs: 1. Link your Roku account to your Amazon account using the Amazon Alexa app on your iOS or Android device. 2. Start your command with “Alexa,” and follow the command with “on Roku.” Some examples: • “Alexa, turn up the volume on Roku.” • “Alexa, show me documentaries on Roku.” Note: You also can issue commands to control your Roku TV.
Searching for free content You’ll discover an almost endless list of content through your Roku TV, and much of it is free. You can easily find free content by including the word “free” in your search. For example: • Roku Voice Remote or Roku mobile app—Say, “Show me free comedies” or “Show me free romance,” or simply, “Show me free shows.” • Google Home, Google Pixel phone, or the Google Home mobile app—Say “OK Google, show me free programs on Roku,” or “Hey Google, show me free documentaries on Roku.
If your search result was a game or a streaming channel, you will see detailed information, images, and available actions, such as a list of results and the cost, if any, of using the item or channel. Note: Some channels may require a paid subscription. Follow on Roku Rather than watch the program you found in Search, you can add it to My Feed and wait until it’s available on a particular streaming channel or available at a better price. From the search results screen, select Follow on Roku.
Roku Zones Roku Zones are search results grouped within popular genres, for example, “action,” “comedy,” and “horror." To see Roku Zones in search results, search for a genre name and look for the word Zone added to the end of a search result. Or, to see all Roku Zones, search for “zone” and then scroll down in the results until you pass other programs beginning with “zone.
Using the Roku Channel Store Only in connected mode, either the Streaming Channels menu option or the Add Channels shortcut takes you to the Roku Channel Store, where you can add new subscription based and free streaming channels to your TV. Tip: Search for streaming channels by using the Search option, as explained in Searching for something to watch. Use Roku Voice Search if you prefer.
Tip: New streaming channels are added continuously to the Roku Channel Store, so be sure to check back frequently for new options. Note: If you don’t remember your PIN, or if you want to change whether you need to use a PIN to make purchases on your Roku account, see Roku account PIN.

Customizing your TV There are several things you can do to personalize your TV. Add TV inputs As you use your TV, you might find that you need to add a TV input tile that you did not add during Guided Setup. To add a TV input: 1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. Notice that the list of inputs is divided into two sections: Inputs being used and Inputs not used. 2. Press UP or DOWN to highlight an input in the Inputs not used section of the list. 3.
Add streaming channels You can add streaming channels by searching in the Roku Channel Store from any of the following locations: • Streaming channels option • Search (including Roku Voice Search) • Add Channels shortcut New streaming channels are added to the bottom of the Home screen. If you want to move the channel tile to a different position in the grid, see Rearrange tiles.
Rather than using the predefined names and icons, you can set a custom name and icon. To do so, scroll up or down to highlight Set custom name & icon, and then press OK. Follow the instructions on the screen to enter a name and select an icon for the input. Press HOME to return to the Home screen. The new name and icon are now in effect. Remove unwanted tiles It’s easy to remove unused TV inputs and unwanted channel or app tiles.
Rearrange tiles When you add a TV input tile, it’s added at the top of your Home screen. When you add a new streaming channel, it’s added at the bottom of your Home screen. You can easily rearrange the order of the tiles on the Home screen to suit your viewing preferences. For example, you might want Live TV to be the first tile in your Home screen. But if you mostly watch one streaming channel, you might want its tile to be the first one on your Home screen. 1.
6. Repeat these steps to move other tiles until you have arranged your Home screen to your liking. Change the look and feel with themes Only in connected mode, another way to customize your TV is to change its theme. The theme establishes the look and feel of the TV through colors, designs, fonts, wallpaper (background) and screensaver. To change the theme, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Theme.
Edit live TV channel lineup When you set up the TV tuner as described in Setting up live TV, the TV adds all the channels with good signals that it can detect in your area. It’s likely that you now have more channels than you want in your channel list. To edit the channel lineup, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Edit channel lineup. You’ll see a screen listing all of your channels.
Change menu volume Menu sounds are the noises the TV makes to let you know it received your command. You can change the volume of these menu sounds or turn them off. To adjust the menu volume, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > Menu volume. Navigate to the right and then change the setting to High, Medium, Low, or Off.

Parental controls Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can view certain kinds of broadcast TV programs. When a program or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a parental control PIN that only you know. Note: Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming options, if any, on the Home screen menu. Parental controls do not block content on other TV inputs or content from streaming channels you add to your TV.
Blocking broadcast TV programs For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast signal to determine whether to allow a program to be displayed. Parents can configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control PIN is entered. Note: Rating standards differ by country.
Blocking based on US TV ratings Most broadcast US TV programs—other than movies—contain rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want others to view. The ratings are divided into two groups that function independently: • Youth group – TV-Y, TV-Y7 • Main group – TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating.
Blocking based on US movie ratings Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the ratings are known as MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want others to see.
has implemented a new rating table. Once the new rating table has been downloaded to the TV, it remains in the TV until it is factory reset, and you can configure blocking based on the new ratings. New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same ways as the built-in US TV and MPAA Movie ratings. Tip: If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with its settings to understand how to use it.
Blocking based on Canadian French ratings Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by Québec’s Ministry of Culture and Communications. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity.
Blocking unrated programs Some broadcast TV programs and movies do not have an assigned rating, and are considered to be “Unrated”. Whether or not such programs contain content that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose to block such programs. To block all unrated broadcasts: 1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Block all unrated programs. 3.
What happens when a TV program is blocked? After you’ve set up parental controls, TV programs and movies are blocked: • When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose rating exceeds your settings. • When a new program comes on the channel you are watching and its rating exceeds your settings.
To watch the blocked program, you need to know the PIN code defined when you enabled parental controls, as explained in Creating a parental control PIN. 1. Press OK to select Unblock. The Parental Control PIN pad appears. 2. Use the purple directional pad to enter your parental control PIN code, and then press OK to select Unblock everything. Tip: To shield your parental control PIN from others in the room, press STAR Þ to hide the highlighted number.
Changing the parental control PIN To change your parental control PIN: 1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2. In the Parental controls screen, highlight Change PIN. 3. Move the highlight into the adjacent keypad, and then use the purple directional pad to enter a four-digit code, and then press OK. Then repeat the process to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use.

Controlling other devices through CEC Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) enables your TV and other CEC-compatible home entertainment devices to control one another in various ways.
Enable HDMI® ARC or eARC HDMI® ARC, or on selected TVs, eARC, is the audio return channel that is available on one of the TV’s HDMI ports. The audio return channel enables you to send Dolby Audio™ content or DTS audio content back to a home theater receiver that is also sending an audio and video signal into the TV. Using HDMI® ARC or eARC reduces the number of cables needed and controls the volume and mute state of the receiver while watching TV. HDMI® ARC or eARC is disabled by default.
