Instructions

Plug the Roku stick into an HDMI port on your TV, attach the power cord to the Roku and

plug into power outlet. Turn on TV and set to the correct HDMI input/source. Press "Home"

button on the Roku remote control until the Home screen appears. Use the arrows on the

remote to navigate to "Settings" and then to "Network" Choose "Set up new Wi-Fi

connection" and sign in to your Wi-Fi network. Be sure you know any necessary password

for your network. Press the home button on the Roku remote again and use the right arrow

to navigate to and select the VUDU channel. Use the arrows on the remote to select My

VUDU and then Movies. Arrow down to select from the library's collection of titles. If the title

selected only has the option to Resume, go to the Watch List and select the title and

choose to start over.

How does it work?

It is a streaming service. The Roku devices are linked to the library's VUDU account which is

where the movies and TV shows stream from. Can I access any other services or channels on

the Roku device? No. You can only view titles that the library has uploaded into it's VUDU

account. You cannot access any other streaming service such as HULU. Can I use the Roku

device with my computer or laptop? No, it can only be used on an HDTV with an HDMI port.

I cannot connect to my wireless network:

Make sure there are no obstructions, like cement walls, between the Roku and your wireless

router. Select the correct wireless name on the wireless screen. Enter the correct password, if

your network is security enabled. If you have turned off SSID broadcasting on your wireless

router, you can add your network by selecting: My network is not shown from the Wireless

screen. If your TV is not close enough to your router you may not get a strong enough signal to

connect.

Nothing happens when I connect the Roku to my TV:

Be sure the Roku is also connected to a power outlet in addition to your TV. Be sure your TV is

set to the same input/source as the HDMI port the Roku is plugged into. Try a different HDMI

port on the TV.

The Roku remote is not working:

Try removing and reinserting the batteries first. If this doesn't work, try pairing the remote again:

Open the battery compartment and locate the small, round pairing button. Press and hold the

pairing button for at least 3 seconds (front LEDs will blink). Power off and on the Roku stick by

unplugging the power connector and plugging it back in. During the start up process, the Roku

remote will automatically pair to your Roku player and the front LEDs will stop flashing.

When I select a movie, the only option is to Resume. How do I watch from the beginning?

This movie was viewed by a previous patron but not completed. To watch from the beginning,

go to My VUDU then Watchlist, select the movie and choose Start Over.

When I select a movie why am I seeing options to Rent or Own?

If you are seeing these options, you are not viewing the library's movie collection. You cannot

purchase, rent or download any free or paid content to the library's account. To access the

library's movie collection, press the Back Arrow on the remote to return to the VUDU menu,

select My VUDU and then Movies or TV shows.

For the best viewing results: Minimum of 1.5 Mbps for standard definition and 3.0 Mbps
