Whenever we bring a new Roku box, the first thing that comes to mind is that how to get started to make it work. Roku is a digital media player set top box that provides a less expensive way to watch TV whereas a regular television connection costs a lot more. It works with the help of internet. So to use Roku, you first need to create a Roku account and then start streaming by connecting to the Internet. Before starting the Roku activation, you need to make sure that Roku is properly connecting to an internet network and any output video device may be a computer, laptop, television, etc. Just go through the following procedure to make the connections.
Steps to connect Roku to an output video device.
- Connect the audio and video wires. The component cable is used for video, and the composite wire is used for audio.
- Insert the one end of Component cable to the video port of the output media device i.e. computer or television and insert the other end to the video port of Roku box
- Insert the one end of the composite wire to the audio port of the output media device i.e. computer or television and insert the other end to the audio port of Roku box.
Steps to do the network settings.
- First of all, decide whether you want to get a hard wired Internet connection or a wireless internet connection.
- For a wired connection, plug in one side of the Ethernet cable to the Internet port provided on Roku and put the other end into one of the open network port on your router.
- For a wireless connection, you will have to verify your internet network username and the passkey to get connected to your internet network.
