*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

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

™

will

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 confirm your choice.
