Preparing to Connect
How you connect the HD1000 also depends upon your type of display
and its available inputs. The HD1000 offers four options for connec-
tion 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.
Connection Methods
The HD1000 is designed to connect to your AV system in one of two
ways. In the rst method, you connect the HD1000 like you would
a DVD player or any other normal audio-video source. 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. Both of these options are discussed in more detail below.
Separate AV Source
Connect the appropriate HD1000 audio and video outputs to the cor-
responding inputs on your TV or AV receiver. You will use the HD1000
like you would any other audio-video source by switching to the
appropriate audio-video source on your TV or AV receiver.
In-Line/Video Pass Through
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 high-quality analog switches) when the HD1000 is in
Standby mode. The HD1000 enters Standby mode when you press
the power button and the power light is off. When in this mode your
HD1000 monitors the incoming video signal and automatically gener-
ates a screen saver when appropriate, decreasing the chance of burn-
in. For more information on this connection method, see “Connecting
Your HD1000 to Use the Video Pass-Through Feature” below.
Mode Connector Format Picture Quality
1 Component 480i Good
2 S-Video 480i Good
3 Composite 480i Good
4 Component 480p Better
5 Component 720p Best
6 Component 1080i Best
7 VGA 480p Better
8 VGA 720p Best
9 VGA 1080i Best
10 VGA 1024x768 *

*Note: Generally, the Roku HD1000 supports wide-screen resolutions
(1280x720, 1920x1080), but it also supports 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 “Con-
necting 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
(or your component AV receiver), 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, with the remote for your TV, 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 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 previ-
ous 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 conrm 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.

8

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
there is still no picture, proceed to “Connecting Without On-Screen
Display” on page 10.
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 conrm 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 fol-
lowing 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 conrm 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

10
11
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. (Composite is normally
a single yellow RCA jack on your TV. On the HD1000, the composite
connector is shared with the “Y” component connector.)
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.
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
there is still no picture, go to “Connecting Without On-Screen
Display” below.
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 Composite 480i by pressing the right arrow button on
the front panel or remote control until you arrive at that selection.
Note: The Power LED will change the number of times it blinks to
correspond to the current mode as you change selections.
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 conrm your choice.
Connecting Without On-Screen Display
Some displays are not able to display the initial picture from the
HD1000. However, once the HD1000 has started up, you can use the
front-panel buttons to step through the HD1000’s supported output
connections and formats until your display shows the correct picture.
1. Ensure that the appropriate cable(s) are connected to the proper
Video Out connector(s) on your HD1000 (matching the cable and
connector colors if using Component) and are connected to the
display.
2. Turn on the display and select the input corresponding to the con-
nection you have just made.
3. Connect the power cable to the back of the HD1000 and plug it

It blinks the number of times corresponding to the video mode in
the table on page 4.
5. Press the right arrow button on the front panel of the HD1000 and
check the display for a picture. If no picture appears after about
ve seconds, press the right arrow again. Repeat this process until a
picture appears in color.
Note: Each time you press the right arrow the Power LED changes
the number of times it blinks corresponding to the video mode

10
11
listed in the previous table. If you have pressed the right arrow
button ten times without a picture appearing, check the “Trouble-
shooting” section.
6. 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 conrm your choice.
7. Once the proper format has been selected, use the down arrow to
move the yellow highlight to the OK button, and press the Select
key to conrm your choices.
Audio Connections
You may connect your HD1000 to an amplier, a display with pow-
ered 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.
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 amplier, display or speakers. Be sure to match the
colors of the plugs to the colors of the 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 an S/PDIF-compatible audio input on your
amplier, display or speakers.
Your HD1000 can also act as a pass-through 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 audio source. 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 net-
work. A 10/100 Ethernet port is included right on the back of the unit,
and the HD1000 will automatically congure itself via the DHCP proto-
col. 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/
support 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 on the type of input you will use on your display. If that
display input is already connected to an existing source, discon-

12

nect the cable from the existing display device and connect it to
your HD1000 inputs. Otherwise, select your source device and con-
nect it to the appropriate Video-In connector(s) on the back of the
HD1000. This cable/source type must match the cable/type you
will use to connect the HD1000 video output. When the HD1000 is
in Standby mode, this source will be “passed through” the HD1000
“as-is” — no conversion or transformation is applied to the signal.
2. Follow the appropriate steps in the “Connecting the HD1000” sec-
tions above to connect the HD1000 Video-Out to your display.
When your HD1000 is in Standby mode (Power LED not lit), the signal
present on the Video In connector will now 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 congure
the screen saver and pass-through modes.
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.
For more information about connecting your HD1000, please see the
“Troubleshooting” section on page 29.

Music. The Music section will appear in the Main Menu when a
selected media source contains digital music les. The only option
is Listen. Listen will take you to an extensive menu of song titles, as
well as album and artist information.
Roku Applications. The Roku HD1000 uses Roku’s Open OS Plat-
form. Just as Windows is a platform for writing desktop PC appli-
cations, the Roku OS is a platform for creating sophisticated and
easy-to-use digital media applications for the home. Roku writes
applications for this platform, as do several third-party developers.
Roku Applications that are on a selected memory card or network
share will appear here. Select the application icons to run them.
Main Menu
Media Sources. Your various media sources will be displayed
vertically on the left side of the screen. At the top, you’ll see an icon

limited number of photos or small applications.) Below the Built-
In Storage icon, you’ll see icons representing inserted memory
cards and/or connected network shares containing photos, art,
video, music, or Roku applications. Highlight the source you want,
and then move to the right to choose Slideshow, Browse or Listen.
These options will change depending on the actual content of each
media source. You’ll also notice that the selected media source is
surrounded by a lighter blue tab for easy identication of the active
source.
Setup. Setup, in the bottom left corner, allows you to set the type
of connection used from the HD1000 to your display, the output
resolution and many other options. See the “Setup and Prefer-
ences” section for additional details.
Images. The Images section will appear in the Main Menu when
a selected media source contains photos, art or video. You’ll have
the option to choose to view the images as a Slideshow or Browse
through a series of small, catalogued images called “thumbnails.”

Viewing Pictures, Art and LiveArt™
Press the Menu button on your remote control to view your media
sources, if you don’t see them already. Your screen should look
similar to the one below.
Slideshow. Select Slideshow to start the Slideshow Viewer and
see each image or MPEG video from the selected media source. If
your HD1000 is currently showing the Main Menu and you insert a
memory card with photos, art or MPEG video, the slideshow begins
automatically, displaying the content from that card.
Images advance every ve seconds. Refer to “The Roku Remote” on
page 2 to learn how to control image viewing. The 5-second delay
can be adjusted in the Photo Options screen (see page 27).
Note: A screen saver will display if an image remains on screen for
an extended period of time. This feature reduces the chance of
screen burn-in.
If you have more than one media source to choose from . . .
1. In the Main Menu, move the yellow highlight into the left-hand
column.
2. Use the up and down arrows to highlight each of the media
sources. Notice that the options shown on the right of the screen
change as you highlight each media source.
3. When the desired media source is highlighted, move the
highlight to the right, and choose Slideshow to begin viewing
the images, or Browse to quickly look through your images in a
thumbnail representation.
Note: In the Browse screen, you can also change the active media
source without returning to the Main Menu.
Browse. Select Browse to see a series of thumbnail images repre-
senting each image or MPEG video from the selected media source.
Move the highlight around the screen and press the Select button
to view an image. Press Exit at any time when viewing pictures to
return to the Browse screen.

15
The HD1000 treats MPEG2 video clips in your media folders as
images. If you play a slideshow that contains a supported video clip,
the clip will play with the same timing as the rest of your images
in the slideshow. For example, if your delay time is 5 seconds, and
your clip is 10 seconds long, only the rst 5 seconds will play, and
then the slideshow will advance to the next image or video clip.
(If your clip is shorter than the selected delay time, it will play the
clip all the way through and continue playing the beginning again
until the delay time has been reached.) If you would like to play a
video clip all the way through, navigate to the clip using the Browse
button, highlight the clip, and press Select on your remote. The clip
will play all the way through, then loop to play from the beginning
again. This continuous play will continue until you press Pause or
Exit on the remote.
Playing MPEG2 Video Clips Using Roku’s StreamPlayer Utility
Roku’s StreamPlayer utility, available as a free download from
Roku’s website, allows playback of ATSC MPEG2 transport stream
les, including seamless sequential playback of multile recording.
Visit www.rokulabs.com/support for details.
Playing Music
Select Listen to hear your digital music les. The HD1000 offers
familiar music playing features and controls. To play music, insert a

screen.
Viewing MPEG Video
The HD1000 has the capability of playing ATSC-compliant MPEG2
transport streams. This is the type of signal typically broadcast over
the air by a local digital television station. These streams may be
either standard- or high-denition, and may include multichannel
