56 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Customizing your TV There are several things you can do to personalize your TV. Rearrange tiles Whenever you add a TV input tile, it’s added at the top of your Home screen. Whenever you add a new streaming channel from the Roku Channel Store, 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 Antenna 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. Rearranging tiles is easy: 1From the Home screen, highlight one of the tiles you want to move. 2Press to display a list of options for the type of tile you selected. 3Select Move input. The list of options disappears and the highlighted tile shows arrows indicating how it can be moved. 4Use the arrow buttons to move the highlighted tile to its new position. As you move the tile, it pushes other tiles out of its way. 5Press OK to lock the tile into its new position. 6Repeat these steps to move other tiles until you have arranged your Home screen to your liking.
57 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Edit broadcast TV channel lineup When you set up the TV tuner as described in Setting up Antenna TV on page41, your TV adds all the channels with good signals that it could 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, navigate to Settings>TV inputs >Antenna TV>Edit channel lineup. You’ll see a screen listing all of your channels. Adjacent to the list of channels is a miniature TV screen playing the highlighted channel's picture and sound. Highlight each channel you want to hide, and then press OK to hide the channel. Rename inputs Rather than trying to remember that your Blu-ray player is connected to HDMI 1 and your game console is connected to HDMI 3, you can rename the TV inputs to match the connected component. To rename an input, you can either: • Highlight the input tile in the Home screen, and then press to display a list of options. From the list of options, select Rename input. Then select a new name and icon. or •From the Home screen, navigate to Settings>TV inputs. On the TV inputs screen, select the input you want to rename, select Rename, and then choose a new name and icon from the provided list. Press 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. For example, if you never use the HDMI 3 input, or if you don’t like the weather app you added from the Roku Channel Store, you can remove them from your Home screen. • To remove any tile, highlight the input tile in the Home screen, and then press to display a list of options. From the list of options, select Remove input. In the screen that follows, confirm you want to remove the input. • Alternatively, to remove a TV input tile from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > TV inputs. On the TV inputs screen, select the input you want to remove, and then select Remove > Confirm. Then press to return to the Home screen. Tip If you need to see or hear the highlighted channel, wait a couple of seconds for your TV to start playing the channel’s picture and sound. Also note that if you've enabled parental controls and the program on the current channel is blocked, you won’t see a picture or hear sound while editing the channel lineup. Tip Renaming an input also changes the icon associated with it. Tip Yo u a l s o c a n r e m o v e t h e Antenna TV tile if you never use the TV tuner. But be aware that removing the Antenna TV tile also deletes the broadcast TV channel list. You’ll have to set up the TV tuner again next time you want to view broadcast TV. Instructions for setting up the TV tuner can be found in Setting up Antenna TV on page41.
58 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Change themes Another way to customize your TV is to change its theme. The theme establishes the look and feel of your TV through colors, designs, and fonts. To change the theme, in the Home screen menu navigate to Settings>Themes. In the Themes screen, choose from the following options: •My themes—Highlight a theme, and then press OK to switch to that theme. •Custom settings—Tur n Featured themes on or off. When Featured themes is on, your TV automatically switches to featured themes—like certain holiday-inspired themes—for a limited time whenever Roku makes them available, and then switches back to your selected theme when the featured theme expires. When off, your TV always uses your selected theme. Change the screensaver Displaying a still image (such as a logo) for an extended period of time can cause a permanent after-image to be burned into the screen. To avoid after-image burn-in, your TV turns on a screen saver after it is idle for a few minutes. To change the screensaver, in the Home screen menu navigate to Settings>Screensaver, and then select a screensaver. Change sound effects volume Sound effects are the noises your TV makes to let you know it received your command. You can change the volume of sound effects or turn them off. To adjust the sound effects volume, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Audio>Menu volume. Navigate to the right and then change the setting to High, Medium, Low, or Off. Configure power settings Power settings let you set up your TV so that it turns on to the location you choose. Power settings also help your TV save energy by automatically turning it off under certain conditions. Power on settings Power on settings tell your TV what to do when you turn on the power. To configure the power on settings, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Power > Power on. Highlight the power on location from the list, and then press OK to select it. Auto power off settings To help you save energy, your TV can automatically turn itself off after a period of inactivity or a period during which no signal has been detected. It is factory-configured to do both of these things, but you can change these settings if needed. To configure automatic power off, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > System > Power >Auto power off. In the Power settings screen, highlight the following options and press OK to turn them on or off: •After 15 minutes of no signal—If no signal is detected on a TV input for 15 minutes, your TV automatically powers off. •After 4 hours of no interaction—If no remote control or panel button is pressed for 4 hours and your TV is not displaying a TV signal or streaming a video, your TV is automatically powered off. Tip Themes are available only when your TV is connected to the Internet. Some themes require payment. Tip The Power Saver screensaver reduces the amount of power your TV uses by turning off the backlight. For example, if the Picture mode is set to Vivid or Normal, Power Saver reduces power consumption.
59 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Configure 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. Creating a parental control PIN The first time you access the Parental controls screen, you must create a new parental control PIN. Thereafter, whenever you want to change parental control settings, unblock programming that has been blocked, change the PIN, or disable parental controls, you must enter your parental control PIN. To create a new parental control PIN, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Parental controls. The screen displays a numeric keypad. Use the arrow buttons and the OK button to enter a four digit code. Then repeat the process to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use. Blocking Movie Store, TV Store, and News (US TV models only) One of the parental control options is to completely hide the entertainment options that are available directly on the Home screen menu of TVs manufactured for sale in the United States. (The Movie Store, TV Store, and News options are not available on TVs manufactured for sale in Canada). To hide Home screen entertainment options: 1From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, highlight Home screen and then select or clear either of these options: •Hide “Movie Store and TV Store”—Removes the Movie Store and TV Store options from the Home screen menu. •Hide “News”—Removes the News option from the Home screen menu. Blocking Broadcast TV shows 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. Enabling parental control of TV shows The first step in blocking TV shows is to enable parental control of TV shows. This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of TV shows on and off without disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are going to summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone, you don’t want to have to deal with unblocking shows that you want to watch by entering your parental control PIN. All you need to do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV shows are unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental controls again, and all of your parental control settings are restored in a single operation. To enable parental control of TV shows: 1In the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner> Parental control of TV shows. 3Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it and press OK. Note The parental control feature can be used to hide the Movie Store, TV Store, and News options that are available on the Home screen menu of TVs manufactured for the United States. However, the parental controls feature does not block other streaming content nor content from inputs other than the TV tuner. Tip Your parental control parental control PIN has nothing to do with your Roku PIN. You can make them the same if you want—this is entirely your choice. Important If you forget your PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset operation, as explained in Factory reset everything on page67. Be sure to write it down in a safe place just in case. Tip To use either of these options after you've hidden them, you must return to this screen and remove the check mark from the corresponding Hide command. Note Rating standards differ by country.
60 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Blocking based on US TV ratings Most broadcast US TV shows—other than movies—contain rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don’t want others to view. The ratings are divided into two groups that function independently: •Yo u t h g r o u p—T V-Y, T V-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, your TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content, your TV also unblocks all content with a lower rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, your TV also blocks TV-14 and TV-MA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also unblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked. Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For example, you can block just coarse language in shows with a TV-PG rating. If you do, then your TV also blocks shows with coarse language in the higher ratings (TV-14 and TV-MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV-14 ratings does not unblock coarse language in TV-MA programs, but it does unblock coarse language in TV-PG programs. To block TV shows based on US television ratings: 1From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner> TV ratings. Choose among the following settings: •Entire ratings—Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to the right and select the first option that blocks the entire rating level (and all higher rating levels). •Individual content types—Highlight the rating that contains the content type you want to block, and then select the content types you want to block from among those listed. Remember that blocking a content type in one rating blocks the equivalent content type in all higher rating levels. 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 shows that parents don't want others to see. The ratings are: • G—General audiences • PG—Parental guidance suggested • PG-13—Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger • R—Restricted • NC-17—Not for age 17 or younger Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV ratings, blocking movies with a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. To block movies based on MPAA ratings: 1From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV Tuner>Movie ratings. 3Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. Blocking based on Other ratings Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when your TV was manufactured. It does this by detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rating in the Parental controls. When your TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list of rating types: Other ratings. If you see this option in the Parental controls screen, you have tuned to a station that has implemented a new rating table. Once the new rating table has been downloaded to your TV, it remains in your 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 Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete X rating, which can still occur in the program data of older movies. Tip If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with its settings to understand how to use it.
61 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Blocking based on Canadian English ratings Canadian-English language and third-language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Action Group on Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are: • C—Children under 8 years • C8—Children 8 years and older • G—Generally suitable for all age groups • G—Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years • 14+—Generally not suitable for viewers under 14 years • 18+—Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. To block programs based on AGVOT ratings: 1From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner>Canadian English ratings. 3Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. Blocking based on Canadian French ratings Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Régie du cinéma du Québec. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are: • G - Generally suitable for all age groups • 8+—Viewers 8 years and older • 13+—Viewers 13 years and older • 16+—Viewers 16 years and older • 18+—Adults only Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. To block programs based on Canadian-French ratings: 1From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner>Canadian French ratings. 3Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. Blocking unrated programs Some broadcast TV shows and movies are assigned a rating of “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: 1From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner>Block all unrated programs. 3Highlight Block and press OK. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changed from unlocked to locked. Tip Blocking programs that have been assigned a rating of “Unrated” does not block programs that have no rating assigned to them (for example a broadcast of a local town council meeting). Programs that do not have an assigned rating display Rating NA (for “not applicable,” meaning a rating is not needed). Programs that have no assigned rating are considered “safe”; therefore, there is no need to block them.
62 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV What happens when a TV show is blocked? After you've set up parental controls, TV shows and movies can be blocked: • When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose rating exceeds your settings. • When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and its rating exceeds your settings. When a program is blocked by parental control settings, your TV displays a blocked message: Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and audio of the show are blocked, as well as program data that would normally appear in the area at the bottom of the screen. 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 on page59. 1Press OK to select Unblock and display a PIN pad. 2Use the arrow buttons to enter your parental control PIN code, and then press OK to select Unblock everything. After unblocking shows that have been blocked, all blocking is disabled for two hours or until you turn off your TV. Changing the parental control PIN To change your parental control PIN: 1From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, highlight Change PIN. 3Move the highlight into the adjacent keypad, and then use the arrow buttons and the OK button to enter a four digit code. Then repeat the process to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use.
63 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Resetting parental controls So now your kids have grown up and gone away to college, and you no longer want to deal with blocked programs. To erase all parental control settings: 1From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings >Parental controls, and then enter your parental control PIN. 2In the Parental controls screen, highlight Reset parental controls. 3Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm that you want to erase all parental control settings. More settings This section describes the features and settings of your TV that were not covered in the other parts of this guide. Changing network settings If needed, you can change your network settings at any time. For example, if you change the name of your wireless network (its SSID) or its password, you will need to change your TV’s settings so that it can continue to connect. Also, if you decided not to connect to the Internet in Guided Setup on page32, you can use Network settings to connect at a later time. To change network settings, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Network, and then press the RIGHT arrow. At this point, you can choose the following options: •Update connection—Press OK to start the update process. Your TV uses your current wireless network name and password to reconfirm the wireless connection, the local network connection, and the Internet connection. •Set up new Wi-Fi connection—Press OK to start a scan for wireless networks. Your TV scans for the wireless networks within range and displays the first few it finds in order, with the strongest signals first. In addition to your own wireless signal, your TV might pick up signals from your neighbors. Now you can do one of the following: •Select your network name—Select the name of your network and then enter your wireless password if requested. •Scan again—If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, select Scan again to list all networks in range. The first scan listed only the first few, strongest wireless signals. The second scan sometimes results in a longer list. If you still don’t see your network name, you might need to adjust the location of the wireless router or your TV, turn on your router, or make other changes. When everything is ready, select Scan again to repeat the network scan. •Private network—If your wireless network name is hidden, it won’t appear in the list. Select Private network to display an on-screen keyboard, and use it to enter your network name. Unless you changed the factory-set network name, you can find the name (also called SSID) on a label on the router. Tip Resetting parental controls also erases your parental control PIN. Note Highlighting Scan Again displays an informational panel with the unique media access control (MAC) address of your TV. You will need the MAC address if your wireless router is configured to use MAC address filtering. Note Wireless networks that are password-protected display a “padlock” icon adjacent to the name. Note Some wireless networks, such as those found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other public places, may require you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide identifying information before letting you connect to the Internet. If the TV detects that you are connecting to such a network, it prompts you through the connection process using your smartphone or tablet to provide the needed information. For more information, see Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room on page 47.
64 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Changing caption settings You can change many different settings that affect the appearance of captions.

65 LC-43LB371U/LC-50LB371U 43"/50" 1080p, 60Hz, LED Sharp Roku TV Scanning for broadcast TV channels again There will be times when you need to create a new channel list. For example, you: • Change cable providers • Reorient your TV antenna • Move to a different city with different channels Whenever you need to update your TV channel list, you can repeat the channel scan. To repeat the channel scan, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Scan again for channels. Then select Start finding channels to begin the channel scan process. The screens and options that appear during this process are identical to those described in How do I set up the TV tuner? on page42. Using your TV in a home theater Your T V has several features that make it an ideal T V for a home theater. But you might not notice them because they remain in the background until you decide to use them. Turning off the speakers When you use your TV with a sound bar or an external amplifier and speakers, you’ll probably want to turn off the internal TV speakers. To turn off your TV’s built-in speakers, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change the setting. Changing the audio mode Your TV has two audio modes, accessed by navigating in the Home screen menu to Settings>Audio>Audio mode: •Stereo—Use this setting for internal speakers, headphones, and external stereo amplifiers connected through the HDMI1 (ARC), SPDIF, or headphone jack. •Auto—Use this setting to automatically detect the best audio setting based on the audio stream in the content you are watching. If you have connected your TV to an external Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus compatible amplifier, receiver, or sound bar through HDMI1 (ARC) or SPDIF, your TV automatically selects the appropriate surround sound capabilities of the device based on the characteristics of the current program. Setting up a digital audio connection You can connect your TV to an external amplifier, receiver, or sound bar by using either of these two connections: •HDMI ARC—The HDMI Audio Return Channel enables your TV to output digital audio on one of its HDMI connectors. The connected amplifier can also function simultaneously as an input source to your TV, if needed. To use the ARC capability, you must connect an HDMI cable from your amplifier's HDMI ARC connector to the HDMI1 (ARC) connector on your TV. You also must: • Be sure your HDMI cable is certified by HDMI. • Enable HDMI ARC under Settings > System >Control other devices (CEC), as explained in Enabling HDMI ARC on page 66. •SPDIF—You r T V has an SPDIF connector that outputs a digital audio signal. To use the optical output, connect a digital optical audio cable from the amplifier to the SPDIF connector on your TV. After making the required HDMI ARC or digital optical audio connection, go to Settings > Audio > SPDIF and ARC option and select the audio format to use. Tip Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure you are receiving all of the latest channels. Broadcasters add and remove channels, move channels to different parts of the spectrum, and change the power levels of their channels periodically. Tip Your TV’s internal speakers can be enabled and disabled automatically as needed by system audio control, as described in Enabling system audio control on page66. The internal speakers are also turned off when you use the headphone jack. Note Dolby Digital Plus format is not available through the SPDIF output. This format is only available through the HDMI1 (ARC) connection. Note In most cases, Auto detect is the best option. Other settings can result in no sound when the content you are viewing does not contain the audio stream type you selected.
