										Page	4				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.	Safety information • Prevent	TV	from	overheating	by	placing	in	an	area	with	good	ventilation.	• Do	not	block	ventilation	holes	on	the	TV.	Position	the	TV	so	air	can	circulate	freely	on	all	sides.	• Do	not	stack	objects	on	the	TV.	• If	you	place	the	TV	on	a	stand,	make	sure	you	allow	adequate	ventilation.	• If	you	connect	an	audio	receiver	or	amplifier	to	the	TV,	place	it	on	the	top	shelf	so	the	heated	air	will	not	overheat	the	TV.	Avoid audio interference • Position	cables	properly;	insert	each	cable	firmly	into	the	designated	jack.	• Route	all	cables	down	one	side	of	the	back	of	the	TV	instead	of	straight	down	the	middle.	• If	your	antenna	uses	300-ohm	twin	lead	cables,	do	not	coil	the	cables.	• Keep	twin	lead	cables	away	from	audio/video	cables.	Avoid direct light Do	not	place	the	TV	where	sunlight	or	room	lighting	is	directed	toward	the	screen.	Use	soft	or	indirect	lighting.	 
						

										Page	5				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.	To	mount	your	TV	to	the	wall,	purchase	the	one	of	the	following	VESA	wall	mounts:	• 28"	model	VESA	100	x	100,	M4	x	12mm	screws	• 32"	model	VESA	100	x	100,	M4	x	12mm	screws	• 40"	model	VESA	100	x	100,	M4	x	25mm	screws	• 43"	model	VESA	100	x	200,	M4	x	25mm	screws	• 49"	model	VESA	200	x	200,	M6	x	16mm	screws	 
						

										Page	6					The	VESA	number	is	the	horizontal	and	vertical	measurement	of	the	mounting	holes.	For	example,	100	x	200	indicates	that	the	mounting	holes	are	spaced	100mm	horizontally	and	200mm	vertically.	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.	A	–	Place	the	TV	face	down	on	a	soft,	cushioned	surface	on	a	table.	The	bag	the	TV	was	packed	in	makes	a	good	cushion.	Position	the	TV	so	that	the	stand,	when	attached,	will	hang	over	the	edge	of	the	table.		B	–	Align	the	stands	with	the	screw	holes	located	on	the	TV	stand	column:	 
						

										Page	7				Note:	Store	the	stand	and	stand	screws	in	a	safe	place	in	case	you	decide	to	use	the	stand	in	the	future.	Cable Management There	are	three	slots	on	the	back	of	the	machine.	Insert	the	cable	clip	into	one	of	the	slots	to	help	you	manage	your	cables.		Connect your TV This	section	explains	how	to	connect	your	devices	to	your	TV.	Connecting an antenna, cable, or satellite box If	you	are	using	an	antenna,	CATV	cable	without	a	set-top	box,	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	300-75	ohm	adapter	(not	provided)	to	adapt	the	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	 
						

										Page	8				Connecting a component 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.	Connecting a component 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.	Tip:	You	might	need	to	configure	the	component	to	send	its	signal	through	its	HDMI®	connector.	The	connector	labeled	HDMI	IN	(ARC)	has	the	additional	ability	to	use	the	audio	return	channel	to	send	digital	audio	to	a	receiver	or	sound	bar,	as	explained	in	“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	sound	bar	to	control	the	TV	volume.	To	turn	off	the	TV’s	built-in	speakers,	in	the	Home	screen	menu,	navigate	to	Settings	>	Audio	>	TV	speakers	and	change	the	setting.		Connecting	an	AV	receiver	or	digital	sound	bar”	on	page	9.		  
						

										Page	9				Connecting headphones or analog sound bar You	can	connect	headphones	or	an	analog	sound	bar	(not	provided)	to	the	TV’s	headphone	jack.	Tip:	Inserting	a	plug	in	the	headphone	jack	disables	the	sound	from	the	TV’s	built-in	speakers.	Warning:	Loud	noise	can	damage	your	hearing.	When	using	headphones,	use	the	lowest	volume	setting	on	your	headphones	that	still	lets	you	hear	the	sound.	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	sound	bar	to	control	the	TV	volume.	To	turn	off	the	TV’s	built-in	speakers,	in	the	Home	screen	menu,	navigate	to	Settings	>	Audio	>	TV	speakers	and	change	the	setting.	 Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar You	can	enjoy	Dolby	Audio™	multichannel	sound	from	your	TV	if	you	connect	a	digital	amplifier	or	sound	bar	(not	provided)	in	either	of	two	ways:	• Digital	optical	audio	out	(S/PDIF)	–	Connect	a	TOSLINK	optical	cable	(not	provided)	from	the	TV	to	the	Optical	input	on	your	receiver	or	sound	bar.	• HDMI®	ARC	–	Connect	an	HDMI®	cable	(not	provided)	from	the	HDMI	(ARC)	connector	to	the	HDMI®	input	on	your	receiver	or	sound	bar.	This	connection	uses	the	Audio	Return	Channel	(ARC)	feature	of	the	HDMI®	specification	to	output	sound	from	the	TV	to	a	compatible	device.	To	use	this	feature,	you	must	configure	the	TV	to	enable	HDMI®	ARC,	as	explained	in	“Enabling	HDMI®	ARC”	on	page	66.		  
						

										Page	10				Preparing for Internet connectivity If	you	want	to	connect	your	TV	to	the	Internet	to	watch	streaming	content,	you	must	connect	using	a	wireless	modem/router	or	a	wireless	access	point.	The	TV	connects	through	a	built-in	wireless	LAN	adapter.	The	TV	does	not	support	a	wired	connection	or	the	use	of	a	USB	network	adapter.	Note:	We	recommend	that	your	wireless	connection	support	the	IEEE	802.11b/g/n	specification	for	the	best	experience.	AC power Plug	your	TV	into	a	power	outlet.	You	can	tell	that	the	TV	has	power	because	the	status	light	on	the	front	of	the	TV	lights	up.		“Status	light”	on	page	30	explains	how	the	status	indicator	shows	what	is	happening	with	the	TV.		Remote control batteries Open	the	back	of	your	Roku	TV	remote	control	and	insert	the	included	batteries,	observing	the	proper	orientation	as	indicated	in	the	battery	compartment.	Reattach	the	back	cover.
