The HD1000 is designed to connect to your AV system in one of two ways. In the first method, you connect the HD1000 like you would a

DVD player or any other normal audio-video source. Connect the appropriate HD1000 audio and video outputs to the corresponding inputs on your TV or AV receiver. An alternate method allows you to connect your HD1000 “in-line” as the last device between an AV source (such as an AV receiver) and your display device. When using the in-line mode, you connect both the Video/Audio Ins and Outs on your HD1000. The video and audio will be passed through (using very high quality analog switches) when the HD1000 is in Standby mode.

This mode also allows your HD1000 to sense the incoming signal and automatically generate a screen saver when appropriate, decreasing the chance of burn-in. Both of these options are discussed in more detail below. Which method you choose is up to you.

How you connect the HD1000 also depends upon your type of display and its available inputs. The HD1000 offers four options for connection to your display: Composite, S-Video, VGA and Component. Only one type of connector may be connected at a time, or image quality will be adversely affected. We highly recommend that you use either

Component or VGA for the best image quality. However, we have provided S-Video and Composite for specialized applications.

From the factory, the HD1000 is set to output Component 480i. This connection is widely supported by most HDTVs, but the other options yield superior results and are recommended if your display supports

* them (see the chart). We recommend a Component 720p or 1080i connection for best results. If supported by your display, 720p may yield more pleasing results for still images.

*Note: Generally, the Roku HD1000 supports wide-screen resolutions

(1280x720, 1920x1080), but it does also support 1024x768 in standard

4:3 aspect ratio for certain (primarily commercial) applications. The

HD1000 user interface was designed for use on wide-screen HDTV monitors. Therefore, when displayed 4:3 in this 1024x768 mode, the menus and buttons and so forth look slightly stretched vertically.

However, images themselves (photos, art) are displayed in their proper aspect ratio without distortion. Please note that LiveArt™ will have the same vertical stretching effect as the user interface.

Connecting via Component

Most component-capable displays are able to display the HD1000’s initial setup screen when connected via the component cables; in the event you cannot see the initial setup screen, proceed to the “Connecting Without On-Screen Display” section.

1. Connect the component cables (the three-wire cable with red, green and blue plugs) to the HD1000, taking care to connect to the

Video Out connectors, and being certain to match the colors of the cables to the colors of the connectors.

2. Connect the other end of the component cables to your display, again being certain to match the colors. If your display has both

Component and separate HDTV or HD Component input connectors, connect to the HDTV or HD Component connectors.

3. Turn on the display, and select the input to which you have just connected the cable.

4. Connect the power cable to the back of the HD1000, and plug it into an electrical outlet.

5. You’ll see a Busy light blinking, and a startup graphic will appear on your screen. Once the HD1000 is fully started up, the Busy light will stop, the Power light will begin to blink and you will see the initial setup screen.

6. If you do not see the setup screen, check the input selection on the display, then re-check the cable connections (being certain that the colors are matched and that the cables are connected to the

Video Out connection on the HD1000). If there is still no picture, proceed to “Connecting via Component or VGA Without On-

Screen Display.”

7. You should see the Display Format setup screen on your display at this point, and it should read “Component 480i.” The Power LED will begin blinking with the mode number referenced in the previous table.

Note: The Power LED will change the number of times it blinks to correspond to the current mode.

8. Once the proper format has been selected, press Select. Then use the down arrow to move the yellow highlight to the Accept button, and press the Select key to confirm your choice.

Connecting via VGA

Most VGA-capable displays are able to display the HD1000’s initial setup screen when connected via the VGA cable, but the display may appear in black-and-white or green because the HD1000 is outputting a Component Video signal. This is normal. The following steps cover selecting the correct output signal:

1. Connect a VGA cable to the HD1000, taking care to make sure the connection is secure.

2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to your display.

3. Turn on the display, and select the input to which you have just connected the cable.

4. Connect the power cable to the back of the HD1000, and plug it into an electrical outlet.

5. You’ll see a Busy light blinking, and a startup graphic will appear on your screen. Once the HD1000 is fully started up, the Busy light will stop, the Power light will begin to blink and you will see the initial setup screen.

6. If you do not see the startup and setup screens, check the input selection on the display, then re-check the cable connection. If

5

6 there is still no picture, proceed to “Connecting Without On-Screen

Display.”

7. You should see the Video Output Format setup screen on your display at this point (in black-and-white or green), and it should read “Component 480i.” The Power LED will begin blinking with the mode number referenced in the previous table.

8. Proceed to the VGA resolutions by pressing the right arrow button on the front panel or remote control. The screen may go dark when cycling through non-VGA modes.

Note: The Power LED will change the number of times it blinks to correspond to the current mode.

9. Once the proper format has been selected, press Select. Then use the down arrow to move the yellow highlight to the Accept button, and press the Select key to confirm your choice.

Connecting via S-Video

Most S-Video displays are able to display the HD1000’s initial setup screens when connected via the S-Video cable, but the display will appear initially in black-and-white or green because the HD1000 is outputting a Component compatible signal. This is normal. The following steps cover selecting the correct output signal:

1. Connect an S-Video cable to the Video Out S-Video connector on the back of the HD1000.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to an S-Video input connector on your display.

3. Turn on the display, and select the input to which you have just connected the cable.

4. Connect the power cable to the back of the HD1000, and plug it into an electrical outlet.

5. You’ll see a Busy light blinking, and a startup graphic will appear on your screen. Once the HD1000 is fully started up, the Busy light will stop, the Power light will begin to blink and you will see the initial setup screen.

6. Once the initial setup screen appears, the Power LED will begin blinking with the mode number referenced in the previous chart.

Press the right arrow button on the front panel or remote control until you arrive at mode 2: S-Video 480i.

Note: The Power LED should be blinking twice — indicating mode

2 — when you have arrived on S-Video 480i.

7. Once the proper format has been selected, press Select. Then use the down arrow to move the yellow highlight to the Accept button, and press the Select key to confirm your choice.

Connecting via Composite

Most composite capable displays are able to display the HD1000’s initial setup screen when connected via the composite cable, but the display may appear in black-and-white or green because the HD1000 is outputting a Component Video signal. This is normal. The following steps cover selecting the correct output signal.

1. Connect a Composite video cable to the HD1000, making sure the cable is connected to the green output jack labeled “Y.”

Note: This is the Y ouput jack for Component video — it is a shared jack with Composite.

2. Connect the other end of the Composite cable to your display.

3. Turn on the display, and select the input to which you have just connected the cable.

4. Connect the power cable to the back of the HD1000, and plug it into an electrical outlet.

Audio Connections

You may connect your HD1000 to an amplifier, a display with powered speakers or an external set of powered speakers to enjoy music playback. The HD1000 supports both analog audio output and digital

(S/PDIF) audio output.

7

8

1. Decide which audio output you want to use: analog or digital.

2. If using analog audio, connect a standard stereo audio cable

(supplied) to the red and white Audio Out connectors on the back of your HD1000. Connect the other end of the cable to the audio input on your amplifier, display or speakers. Be sure to match the colors of the plugs and connectors.

3. If using digital audio, connect a coaxial digital audio cable to the

Digital Audio Out connector on your HD1000. Connect the other end of the cable to a S/PDIF-compatible audio input on your amplifier, display or speakers.

Your HD1000 can also act as a music visualizer for external audio sources. Connect a standard stereo audio cable to the Audio In jacks on the back of your HD1000, taking care to match plug and connector colors. Connect the other end of the cable to the audio output of the desired device. For example, the Monitor connection on your

AV receiver, or the Audio Out connection on your stereo. When the

HD1000 is in Standby, this audio connection is passed through to the stereo Audio Out connectors.

Connecting Your HD1000 to Your Home Network

Your HD1000 can be used to enjoy your existing collection of pictures, music and more by connecting to your computer over your home network. A 10/100 Ethernet port is included right on the back of the unit, and the HD1000 will automatically configure itself via the DHCP protocol. Just connect the network cable before plugging the unit into AC

Power. Wireless network adapters are also supported for connection to an existing Wi-Fi network. See our Website at www.rokulabs.com for details on supported wireless adapters, as well as detailed instructions for accessing your PC or Mac over the network.

Connecting Your HD1000 To Use the Video

Pass-Through Feature

Your HD1000 comes equipped with S-Video and Component video inputs. This feature allows you to connect the HD1000 between an existing source component (like a DVD player or AV receiver) and your display. In this way, you can share an input on your display without running another cable. And the HD1000 can act as an automatic

Screen Saver, detecting a non-moving picture on the video input and switching to a display designed to minimize burn-in.

To use your HD1000 in pass-through mode, follow these steps:

1. Decide the type of input you will use on your display. If that input is already connected to an existing device, disconnect the cable from the existing device and connect it to your HD1000.

2. Follow the appropriate steps in the “Connecting the HD1000” sections above.

3. Once you have configured your HD1000’s display settings, use another cable of the same type to connect your existing device to the appropriate Video In connector on the back of the HD1000.

Now, when your HD1000 is in Standby mode (Power LED not lit), the signal present on the Video In connector will be sent to the Video

Out connector. Pressing the Power key for your HD1000 displays the

HD1000’s signal. Use the Setup option on the Main Menu to configure the screen saver mode.

Note: Only one type of output cable may be connected to the HD1000 at a time or the output picture quality will be reduced. The video input used for pass-through must be the same type of cable (S-Video or Component). Video pass-through is not available in VGA mode.

Connection troubleshooting

Symptom: No Picture

1. Check that the HD1000 and the display device are connected to active AC power outlets and turned on. The Power LED on the HD1000 should be blinking or steadily lit. If the Power LED is blinking, you are in initial setup mode. If the Power LED is steadily lit, see “Resetting Your Roku HD1000 to Initial Setup

Mode” on page 10 to put your unit back into initial setup mode.

2. Check that the display is set to the correct input.

3. Check that the video cable from the HD1000 is connected to the correct Video Out connector(s).

4. If using component cables, unplug each of the three (red, green, blue) connectors from the HD1000 and verify that the color of the plug matches the color of the connector on the HD1000.

Blue and green are easy to reverse accidentally, and this will result in loss of picture. If this does not solve the problem, do the same check on the display’s connectors. Use a flashlight or other light source to verify the connector colors — green and blue look very similar in low light.

5. The Power LED should be blinking with the mode number of the current video output mode in the previous table. If it is not blinking, reset your unit to initial setup mode — consult the section

“Resetting Your Roku HD1000 to Initial Setup Mode” on page 10.

6. If your unit is in initial setup mode, follow the procedure in the section “Connecting Without On-Screen Display” on page 7.

7. If you still see no video, you may have a defective cable. Try another cable of the same type.

Symptom: Picture Appears, But Is Black-and-White

1. If using an S-Video or VGA connection, ensure that the cables are firmly connected to both the HD1000 and the display.

2. If using a Component connection, ensure that all three (red, green, blue) plugs on the cable are connected to the corresponding connectors on the HD1000, and that all three plugs are similarly connected on the display end of the cable.

3. The HD1000 may be misconfigured. Consult the section “Resetting Your Roku HD1000 to Initial Setup Mode” on page 10 and follow the procedure outlined there.

4. You may have a defective cable. Try another cable of the same type.

9

10

Symptom: Picture Appears, But Colors Are Wrong

1. If using S-Video or VGA connection, ensure that the cables are firmly connected to both the HD1000 and the display.

2. If using a component connection, un-plug each of the three

(red, green, blue) connectors from the HD1000 and verify that the color of the plug matches the color of the connector on the

HD1000. Swapping the Red and Blue connectors accidentally will result in improper color display. If this does not solve the problem, do the same check on the display connectors.

3. You may have a defective cable. Try another cable of the same type.

Resetting your Roku HD1000 to initial setup mode

In some cases you may find yourself in a situation where the video output format has been set to a setting that your television cannot display. This procedure allows you to reset your unit so that you may re-run the initial setup procedures outlined at the beginning of this chapter.

1. Press the Exit button on the front panel five times.

2. Hold down the Menu button on the front panel.

3. With the Menu button held down, press and release the Exit button on the front panel.

4. Your Roku HD1000 should now be in initial setup mode. This is indicated by the Power LED blinking to indicate video format mode 1 (see previous table).

5. If your HD1000 is in initial setup mode, go to the beginning of this chapter and follow the procedures outlined there to set up your video mode.

6. If your HD1000 is not in initial setup mode (indicated by a steady Power LED or no Power LED), unplug your Roku HD

1000 for 10 seconds. Plug it in again. Wait 2 minutes and repeat this procedure.

7. If you still cannot get your Roku HD1000 reset to initial setup mode, please contact [email protected] for assistance.

Resetting your Roku

Great care has gone into designing the software the runs on the

HD1000. But the software is very complicated, and it is possible that in rare circumstances your HD1000 could stop responding to remote control signals. In this case, you have two options. One is to unplug the HD1000, wait 10 seconds, and then plug it back in. This will

“reboot” the HD1000 (a process that can take up to a minute). The other way to reboot the HD1000 is to hold down the Standby button for a few moments (until the green LED goes dark). Then release the button. This will also reboot (reset) the HD1000.

Browsing Directories

Your Roku HD1000 scans each media source and finds all of the media files it contains. Some media sources (like folders shared from a networked computer) may contain a large number of media files, making it somewhat challenging to find the one you want in a combined listing (the Roku HD1000 “flattens” directory structures and shows one combined list of files). Fortunately, if your media files are organized into folders on the media source, it’s easy to narrow the search.

First, go to setup and turn on this option: “General Media Source

Directory Chooser.“ Then, back in the Main Menu, move the highlight onto a media source icon, and press the Select button. A window will appear showing you a listing of the contents of that media source, including any contained folders. Notice that the folders are all shown at the top of the list, with a button next to each one. Move the highlight onto the button next to a folder name and press Select to see the contents of that folder. The “path” to the folder is shown above the list. Use the Back button to go back up a level, or the Top button to start at the topmost level of the media source.

Once you have navigated into the folder that you wish to constrain your file lists to, move the highlight onto the Select button, and press Select on the remote. The display of media files from this media source is now limited to the contents of the folder you have chosen.

To go back to viewing all files on a media source, just highlight the source and press Select. Choose the Top button, followed by Select.

Copying Files Between Media Sources

There is a software application available for download from the

Roku website that enables you to move files or folders from one media source to another. For example, you may want to copy photos from your digital camera’s flash card to your computer’s shared folder over your home network, or you may want to copy a file or an application to the HD1000’s built in storage. Go to

www.rokulabs.com/support for details.

The general user preferences that apply to all features are configured in the Setup screen, accessed from the Main Menu. Press the

Menu key on your remote to reach the Main Menu, then use the arrow keys to move the yellow highlight to the Setup button. Press the Select key to open the Setup window. In the Setup window you can modify settings in the following categories:

• Date and Time

• General

• Network Servers

• Screen Saver

• Video Format

• Video Placement

Move the yellow highlight to select a category of settings to modify, then press Select to access that category. When you access a category, a setup panel for that category appears. Usually, these panels will have on-screen directions. A more detailed discussion of their function follows:

Set Time

Access the Date and Time settings panel to manually change the date and time on your HD1000. If your Roku HD1000 is connected to the Internet, the date and time will be updated automatically.

This setup panel may be used to manually adjust the date and time in the event you do not have an Internet connection.

General

Access the General settings panel to modify the general settings of your Roku HD 1000. General settings include whether or not you want slideshows to autoplay when inserting a flash card.

Network Servers

Access the Network Servers panel to specify which servers on your network your Roku HD 1000 will use as a source for displaying photos, art and music. Your Roku HD1000 will search your local area network for exported network directories (Windows® shares). It will automatically make the first two it finds available as sources for photos, art and music. Access the Network Servers panel to manually specify which network shares your Roku HD1000 should use.

Screen Saver

This panel allows you to modify default screen saver settings.

Video Format

This setup panel allows you to adjust the video output format of your HD1000. For detailed information regarding adjusting the

17

16 video output format, consult the section “Connecting the HD1000” in this manual.

Video Placement

This setup panel allows you to optimize the size and position

(placement) of the video output signal your HD1000 sends to your television. Most HD television and monitors have their own settings for adjusting video size and position. These settings are often referred to as “horizontal and vertical size” or “picture position” and determine where on the screen the set will display the video image coming in.

This setup panel provides a wizard that allows you to optimize the video placement for your television or monitor in 3 easy steps. A good rule of thumb is to reset your television’s settings for video size and position to their default values before accessing this setup panel. If you are passing a video signal through your HD1000 (see the section in this manual entitled “Connecting Your HD1000 to Use the Video Pass-Through Feature”), then rather than resetting your television to its default values, you may want to adjust your television to make the source (pass-through) video signal look good before accessing this setup panel.

Once you are happy with your television’s settings for video size and position, you are ready to run the Roku HD1000’s video placement wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions for adjusting the video placement of the output signal the HD1000 sends to your television.

First you will be asked to adjust the top-left corner of your display using the directional arrow keys. You should adjust the display so that the left and top edges are just visible at the edges of your television screen. Then you will be asked to adjust the bottom-right corner of the display, again using the directional arrow keys. You should adjust the display so that the right and bottom edges are just visible at the edges of your television screen. When finished with video placement adjustment you will have the option of accepting or canceling your changes.

Note: During adjustment, a circle on a multi-colored square background is displayed. This circle is displayed in order to help you maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio as you adjust the video placement. In order to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio, you should strive to keep this circle as round as possible. If you wish, you may hold a ruler up to your television screen and measure the sides of the multi-colored square. If the sides are equal, your aspect ratio is a correct 16:9.

Since the circle helps you maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio, it will appear elongated on a 4:3 display and when you are using a 480i video format to output to a 16:9 display.

If you are using a 4:3 display (such as a standard definition TV), you may choose to adjust your video placement so that the image fills the screen (circle will appear elongated), or you may adjust your video placement in “letterbox” style so that the circle appears round. In this case, you will have a 16:9 aspect ratio, but the image will not fill the screen. It is your choice.

If you are using a 480i video format to output to a 16:9 display, your display will likely have different aspect ratio modes such as Normal,

Zoom and Fill. In Normal mode, your television will display the

480i image in its native 4:3 aspect ratio, and the circle will appear elongated. In Fill mode, your television will display the 480i image stretched to a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the circle will appear round.

Use of a 480i video format on a 16:9 display is not recommended, but in the event you choose to do so, it is recommended that you use your television’s Fill mode to stretch the 4:3 480i image to a 16:

17

18

9 aspect ratio. You may then make video placement adjustments to fit the Roku HD1000’s video output to the full screen and use the circle as a guide to maintaining a true 16:9 aspect ratio.

Note: When changing the video output connector and resolution, you may choose a setting which your display does not support. If this happens, your screen may go blank or show a garbled picture.

No problem! Just wait 30 seconds, and the HD1000 will automatically return to the prior selection.

Image Viewer Settings

Select a media source which contains photos or movies, then move the highlight to the right onto the Browse button. Press

Select. When the Browse window opens, move the highlight to the Options button, and press Select. The Photo Options window opens. In this window, you can:

• Set the delay between photos when watching an automatic slideshow.

• Choose whether pictures should be initially displayed so that the entire picture fits on the screen, or zoomed (and possibly cropped) so that they fill the entire screen.

• Choose whether the image file’s name and creation date are displayed momentarily when each new image is displayed.

Note: These options may also be accessed while actually viewing pictures by pressing Select on the remote to open the Photo

Options window.

Bypass Mode

When you press the power button on your Roku HD1000, it will enter Standby mode, and display a pass-through video signal on its video outputs. The pass-through video signal will be the same video signal that is connected to the Roku HD1000’s video input connectors.

If you select the “Auto ON” option on the No Video selector, and then place your Roku HD1000 in Standby mode (by pressing the power button), it will automatically switch between the passthrough video signal and its own video display whenever the input video signal is turned on or off. For example, if you connect your

DVD player to the video input connectors, whenever you turn your

DVD player on, the Roku HD1000 will automatically switch to passthrough video and display the DVD player’s output. When you turn the DVD player off (and remove the input video signal), the Roku

HD1000 will automatically switch back to its own video display.

When you have the No Video selection set to “Auto ON,” pressing the power button will take you in and out of an override mode, in which the Roku HD1000 remains displaying its own video signal, whether or not there is a video signal present on its inputs.

Wireless

If you have a supported wireless adapter, you can connect your

Roku HD1000 to a wireless network. First, make sure the wireless receiver is properly connected to the Roku HD1000.

To complete the connection, you must enter the wireless network’s name (ESSID) and password (if any) in the Wireless setup panel. You

19

18 only need to enter this information once, and the Roku HD1000 will automatically reconnect to the network if it ever loses power.

The ESSID is the name of the wireless network. Enter the name by pressing Select on the ESSID button, and then entering the name in the on-screen keyboard to the right. Remember that ESSIDs are case-sensitive, so use the on-screen Shift button to switch between capital and lowercase letters.

The Password field is only necessary on wireless networks configured to have a password. Enter a password with the onscreen keyboard.

Press the Done button to use these settings to connect to the wireless network.
