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 devices. The following information applies to all TCL 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 device 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 and on thedevice . TV
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

Setting up Antenna TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your TCL Roku TV, you may also want to watch
broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to the ANT input. On your TCL Roku
TV, you watch broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. You select a

The first time you select the tileAntenna TV , you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV tuner
scans for active channels and adds them to your Antenna TV channel list.
Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided by a cable or satellite
company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes use an HDMI ®
connection.
More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or cable/satellite service. If
you don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead remove it from the Home screen as
explained in Remove unwanted tiles.
When you set up Antenna TV, the on its antenna input for channels with a good signal, and TV s scans the signal
adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a very weak signal.
The TV s let you add two analog channels, even if they have , for the purpose of using no signal an older set top box,
VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4. Typically, you’ll only need one of
these channels, but both are provided to make setup simpler. You can hide the one you don’t want as explained in

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.
Note: You also can remove the Antenna TV tile if you never use the TV tuner. But be aware that
removing the Antenna TV tile also deletes the channel list. You’ll have to set up the TV tuner again next
time you want to view Antenna TV. Instructions for setting up the TV tuner can be found in Setting up
Antenna TV.

Configuring parental controls
Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can view certain kinds
of or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a broadcast TV programs. When a program
parental control PIN that only you know.
Note: P arental 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.
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.
Tip: Your 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.
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 keys and then press to enter a four OK
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.
Important: If you forget your parental control PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset
operation, as explained in Factory reset everything. Be sure to write it down in a safe place just in case.

Blocking Movie Store, TV Store, and News (U.S. only)
One of the parental control options is to completely hide the entertainment options that are available
directly on the Home screen menu.
To hide Home screen entertainment options:
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 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.
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.
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.
Note: Rating standards differ by country.
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:
1. In 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 > Parental control of TV shows.
3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it and
press OK.
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:
• 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. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content,
the TV also unblocks all content with a lower rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the 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 the 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:
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 > 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 Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger- – 13
• R Restricted–
• NC Not for age 1- – 17 7 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.
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.
!

To block movies based on MPAA ratings:
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 > Movie ratings.
3. Select 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 the 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 the 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 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 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 al– l age groups
• PG Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years–
