Common questions

Tips and Tricks

What is HDMI-CEC?

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) allows device commands to be sent 

over the same HDMI Cable as audio and video.  

What is ARC?

Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends audio from your TV to the Roku Smart 

Soundbar, using the HDMI Cable. Connect the Roku Smart Soundbar to the 

HDMI port labelled “ARC” on your TV. 

How do I enable HDMI-CEC and ARC on my TV?

While some TVs automatically enable these features, others require you to 

enable them via a settings menu. TV manufacturers use different names for 

these settings, so refer to your TV manual or visit

Why do I need to create a Roku® account?

Before you can start streaming, channels must be downloaded and installed 

on your Roku Smart Soundbar. You’ll need a Roku account to access the 

Roku Channel Store, manage your subscriptions, view your purchase history, 

and add a payment method. For more info, visit

Why should I enter a credit card?

Saving a payment method makes it easy to rent or buy movies on  

demand, subscribe to popular services, and enroll in free trials. Charges  

will not be made without your authorization. For more information, visit
