Connections and setup 
Refer to your TV’s Quick Start Guide or other provided documentation to for model-specific information 
about attaching the base or a wall mount and making connections to AC power and to your other 
audio/video components. The following information applies to all Roku TV models. 
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. 
Tip: If you receive your TV stations through a set top box from a cable or satellite TV provider, connect it 
to the TV using the best connection method available. From most to least desirable: 
 HDMI® input – Digital HD and SD video 
 AV input – analog SD video 
 Antenna input – analog SD video using NTSC 
Connecting external equipment with a composite AV video cable 
If the best connection available on your component is AV or composite video output, connect it to the 
TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV cables typically have three RCA-type plugs 
on each end, color coded as follows: 
 Yellow: Video 
 Red: Audio, right channel 
 White or black: Audio, left channel 
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the component and on the TV.
