Auto power off settings
To help you save energy, your TV can automatically turn itself off after a period of inactivity or a period
during which no signal has been detected. It is factory-configured to do both of these things, but you can
change these settings if needed.
To configure automatic power off, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > System > Power >
Auto power savings. In the Power settings screen, highlight the following options and press OK to turn
them on or off:
Reduce power after 15 minutes – If no video or audio activity and no user interaction occur for

Configure parental controls

Parental controls enable you to control whether the members of your household can view certain kinds
of broadcast TV programs. When a program or feature is blocked, you can unblock it by entering a
parental control PIN that only you know.
Note: The parental control feature can be used to hide the Movie Store, TV Store, and News
options that are available on the Home screen menu of TVs manufactured for the United States.
However, the parental controls feature does not block other streaming content nor content from
inputs other than the TV tuner.
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 buttons and the OK button to enter a
four 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.
