Tip: If you receive your TV stations through a set top box from a cable or satellite TV provider, connect it to the TV using the best connection method available. From most to least desirable: ® HDMI input – Digital HD and SD video AV input – analog SD video Antenna input – analog SD video using NTSC 5 ...

Note: Roku does not charge for activation support – beware of scams. After the TV restarts, it prompts you through activation. Why do I need a Roku account? You need a Roku account for several reasons: It links you, your Roku TV, and your other Roku streaming devices to the Roku Channel Store and billing service. Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to your Roku TV. Roku can automatically send updates to your device. You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment across thousands of streaming channels. Linking to a Roku account also activates several advanced features on your TV, such as Guest Mode, the Roku mobile app, and Live TV Pause, to name just a few. Roku accounts are free, and while a valid credit card number is not required to create your account, providing your credit card information makes renting, purchasing, and subscribing to entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and convenient. After you activate your TV, it gets an acknowledgement, and then adds your newly‐selected and pre‐existing streaming channels to your Roku TV. This process is automatic and takes a few moments—a little longer if you have added a lot of streaming channels. Tip: Streaming channels from all of the Roku streaming devices associated with your account are synchronized periodically. All of your Roku streaming devices therefore display the same set of channels (subject to compatibility with the device). 25 ...

On your Roku TV, you can watch broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile—in this case, the Live TV tile—from the Home screen. The first time you select the Live TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Live TV channel list. Why do I have to set up the TV tuner? Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided by a cable or satellite ® company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes use an HDMI connection. More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or cable/satellite service. If you don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead remove it from the Home screen as explained in Remove unwanted tiles. When you set up Live TV, the TV scans the signals on its antenna input for channels with a good signal, and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a very weak signal. The TV lets you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal, for the purpose of using an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4. Typically, you’ll only need one of these channels, but both are provided to make setup simpler. You can hide the one you don’t want as explained in Edit Live TV channel lineup. 36 ...

Using Roku Voice commands Roku Voice commands make it fast and easy to control your TV and find entertainment with simple voice commands like “show me comedies.” Control your TV with commands like “switch to game console,” or “watch channel 7.1.” Use your Roku Voice remote, the Roku mobile app, or a compatible smart speaker to speak commands. When using a smart speaker, add “on my Roku” or, for example, “on my bedroom Roku” to the end of the command. By using the Roku Voice command, you can use the command at any time, without a need to call up the menu. Using Roku Voice remotes (select models only) Only on TVs with the Roku Voice remotes: The following topics explain how to get the most out of your TV when it includes a Roku Voice remote or Roku Enhanced Voice remote. Re-pairing your Roku Voice remote The Roku Voice remotes operate with wireless radio‐frequency signals and must be paired with your TV. You initially paired the remote when you set up your TV during Guided Setup. But if your remote loses its pairing with the TV for some reason, you can easily re‐pair it using either of the following methods: 1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote. 2. Press and hold down the pairing button for 3 seconds or longer, until the adjacent LED lights up. 3. Do one of the following: Turn on the TV using the power button on the TV side or back panel. Pairing occurs as the TV starts up. Use the Roku mobile app or a different remote to navigate to Settings > Remotes & devices > Pair new device > Remote. ...
Checking the Roku Voice remote battery level You can check the condition of the batteries in your Roku Voice remote at any time by navigating to Settings > Remotes & devices, and then pressing OK to select your remote below My paired devices.

Playing content from USB storage devices Only in connected mode, your Home screen has the Roku Media Player tile. Otherwise, the Home screen has the USB Media Player tile. You can play personal music, video, and photo files from a personal USB flash drive or hard disk connected to the TV’s USB port. To use this feature, make sure your media files are compatible with the Roku/USB Media Player. To see the latest list of supported formats, view Help in the Media Player .

Using your TV in a hotel or dorm room Hotels, school dorms, conference facilities, and similar locations with public wireless Internet access often require you to interact with a web page to authenticate your access. These types or networks are called restricted public networks . When you select a network of this type, the TV automatically detects that additional information is needed and prompts you through using another wireless device to supply the requested information. About using your TV on a restricted public network Here are some points to keep in mind when using your TV on a restricted public network: Using your Roku TV on a hotel or dorm room network requires wireless availability and a network‐connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to authenticate access to your wireless access point. You will need your Roku TV remote. Some content might be limited or unavailable if you try to connect outside your home country due to geo‐filtering. 54 ...

Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM): Only on select models: Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) detects when certain game consoles are connected to an HDMI input, and then automatically configures the best settings for action games when that input is selected. When ALLM is active, the manual Game mode setting is not available. Variable refresh rate (VRR) Only on select models: Variable refresh rate (VRR) allows a compatible game console or computer connected via HDMI to control the refresh rate of the TV.

Within a single search operation, you can search by: Movie name TV program name Actor or director name Streaming channel name Interactive game name Popular quotes (in English), such as “May the Force be with you.” Genre, including the special genres, “free” and “4K.” Note: Roku Search is only available if your TV is operating in connected mode and linked to a Roku account.

You can search in several different ways: By using an on‐screen keyboard that you navigate using the purple directional pad on your remote By typing on the Roku mobile app on your phone or tablet By speaking search phrases in English or Spanish using a Roku Voice remote, the Roku mobile app, Alexa, or Google Home Assistant. 76 ...

Searching from the Roku mobile app Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make searching even faster. Use your mobile device’s keypad to type more quickly and easily than with the on‐screen keyboard on your TV. Or, search by touching the Voice Search icon and saying the name of the movie, TV program, actor, director, genre, streaming channel, or game. When you use the Roku mobile app to search, search results are shown on your mobile device instead of on the TV screen. When you make a selection from the search results, the TV starts playing the selected program. For more information, see Roku mobile app. Searching with Google Assistant Use your Google Home, Google Pixel phone, or the Google Home mobile app to search for programs: 1. Link your Roku account to your Google account using the Google Home mobile app on your iOS or Android device. 2. Start your command with “Hey Google” or “OK Google,” and follow the command with “on Roku.” Some examples: “Hey Google, show me documentaries on Roku.” “OK Google, show me comedies on Roku.” Note: You also can issue commands to control your Roku TV. And, if you have enabled Fast TV Start on your TV, you can turn on your TV by saying, “OK Google, turn on Roku.” Searching with Amazon Alexa Use your Amazon Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Echo Show, or the Amazon Alexa mobile app to search for programs: 1.

And, if you have enabled Fast TV Start on your TV, you can turn on your TV by saying, “Alexa, turn on Roku.” Searching for free content You’ll discover an almost endless list of content through your Roku TV, and much of it is free. You can easily find free content by including the word “free” in your search. For example: Roku Voice Remote or Roku mobile app—Say, “Show me free comedies” or “Show me free romance,” or simply, “Show me free programs.” Google Home, Google Pixel phone, or the Google Home mobile app—Say “OK Google, show me free programs on Roku,” or “Hey Google, show me free documentaries on Roku.” Amazon Alexa—Say “Alexa, show me free miniseries on Roku” or “Alexa, show me free dramas on Roku.” I found a program. Now what? Now that you’ve highlighted the program, movie, actor, game, or streaming channel you were looking for, press RIGHT.

Using the Roku Channel Store Only in connected mode, either the Streaming Channels menu option or the Add Channels shortcut takes you to the Roku Channel Store, where you can add new subscription based and free streaming channels to your TV. To make it easier to find what you want, the streaming channels in the Roku Channel Store are categorized by topic. Press UP and DOWN to highlight the category you want, and then press RIGHT to move the highlight into the grid of streaming channel tiles. When you find a streaming channel you want to add or learn more about, highlight it and press OK to display more details. If the streaming channel you are adding is free, you can select Go to channel to start watching it immediately. If there is a one‐time or recurring fee associated with using the streaming channel, you must agree to the terms and conditions, accept the fee, and—if you created one when you activated your Roku TV, enter your Roku PIN code to authorize the charges. If you already have a subscription to the channel—for example, you already subscribe to Netflix or you receive HBO through your cable TV provider—you must complete a different, simple authorization step to add the streaming channel. You need only complete the authorization or activation step one time, when you initially add the streaming channel. After that, you just select the streaming channel tile from the Home screen to start watching. (Channel and content availability are subject to change. Charges may apply to your selection.) Tip: New streaming channels are added continuously to the Roku Channel Store, so be sure to check back every now and then for new options. Note: If you don’t remember your PIN, or if you want to change whether you need to use a PIN to make purchases on your Roku account, see Roku account PIN. 81 ...

6. Repeat these steps to move other tiles until you have arranged your Home screen to your liking. Change the look and feel with themes Only in connected mode, another way to customize your TV is to change its theme. The theme establishes the look and feel of the TV through colors, designs, fonts, wallpaper (background) and screensaver. To change the theme, from the Home screen menu navigate to Settings > Theme. In the Themes screen, choose from the following options: Wallpapers – Select a wallpaper of your choice. Screensavers – Select a screensaver of your choice. Seasonal themes – Turn seasonal themes on or off. When this feature is on, Roku overrides your selected theme with a theme of their own choosing for various holidays and significant events. After the holiday or event passes, the TV reverts to your selected theme. Edit live TV channel lineup When you set up the TV tuner as described in Setting up Live TV, the TV adds all the channels with good signals that it can detect in your area. It’s likely that you now have more channels than you want in your channel list. To edit the channel lineup, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Edit channel lineup .

Turn off after 4 hours – If no video or audio activity and no user interaction occur for 4 hours, the TV goes into standby mode.

To do so, from the Home screen, navigate to Settings > System > Power > Standby LED , and then select Off . After making this change, the status indicator still performs all other indication functions. Fast TV start Only in connected mode, you can enable Fast TV start.

But it also enables other convenient features, such as the ability to listen to certain music channels with the TV screen off and the convenience of being able to turn on and control your TV using voice commands. Be aware that enabling Fast TV start makes your TV use somewhat more power when it is powered off to standby mode. 90 ...

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: Parental controls block content from the TV tuner and from streaming options, if any, on the Home screen menu. Parental controls do not block content on other TV inputs or content from streaming channels you add to your TV. 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 account 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 purple directional pad to enter a four‐digit code, and then press OK. Then repeat the process to enter the same PIN again, just to make sure you correctly entered the PIN you want to use. Important: If you forget your parental control PIN, the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset operation, as explained in Factory reset everything. 94 ...
Blocking Broadcast TV programs For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast signal to determine whether to allow a program to be displayed. Parents can configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control PIN is entered. Note: Rating standards differ by country. Enabling parental control of TV programs The first step in blocking TV programs is to enable parental control of TV programs. This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of TV programs on and off without disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are going to summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone, you don’t want to have to deal with unblocking programs that you want to watch by entering your parental control PIN. All you need to do is clear Enable parental controls , and all TV programs are unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental controls again, and all of your parental control settings are restored in a single operation. To enable parental control of TV programs: 1. In the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls , and then enter your parental control PIN. 2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Enable parental controls . 3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not, highlight it and press OK. Blocking based on US TV ratings Most broadcast US TV programs—other than movies—contain rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want others to view. The ratings are divided into two groups that function independently: ...
Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with a lower rating. For example, if you block TV‐PG programs, the TV also blocks TV‐14 and TV‐MA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV‐14 programs, TV‐PG programs are also unblocked, but TV‐MA programs remain blocked. Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For example, you can block just coarse language in programs with a TV‐PG rating. If you do, then the TV also blocks programs with coarse language in the higher ratings (TV‐14 and TV‐MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV‐14 ratings does not unblock coarse language in TV‐MA programs, but it does unblock coarse language in TV‐PG programs. To block TV programs based on US television ratings: 1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls , and then enter your parental control PIN. 2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > TV ratings . Choose among the following settings: Entire ratings – Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to the right and select the first option that blocks the entire rating level (and all higher rating levels). Individual content types – Highlight the rating that contains the content type you want to block, and then select the content types you want to block from among those listed. Remember that blocking a content type in one rating blocks the equivalent content type in all higher rating levels. Blocking based on US movie ratings Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the ratings are known as MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want others to see. The ratings are: G – General audiences PG – Parental guidance suggested 96 ...
PG‐13 – Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger R – Restricted NC‐17 – Not for age 17 or younger Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV ratings, blocking movies with a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. Tip: Blocking movies with an NC‐17 rating also blocks programs with the now‐obsolete X rating, which can still occur in the program data of older movies. To block movies based on MPAA ratings: 1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls , and then enter your parental control PIN. 2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Movie ratings . 3. Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. Blocking based on Other ratings Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when the TV was manufactured. It does this by detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rating in the Parental controls. When the TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list of rating types: Other ratings . If you see this option in the Parental controls screen, you have tuned to a station that has implemented a new rating table. Once the new rating table has been downloaded to the TV, it remains in the TV until it is factory reset, and you can configure blocking based on the new ratings. New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same ways as the built‐in US TV and MPAA Movie ratings. Tip: If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with its settings to understand how to use it. 97 ...
Blocking based on Canadian English ratings Canadian‐English language and third‐language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Action Group on Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are: C – Children under 8 years C8 – Children 8 years and older G – Generally suitable for all age groups PG – Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years 14+ – Generally not suitable for viewers under 14 years 18+ – Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. To block programs based on AGVOT ratings: 1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls , and then enter your parental control PIN. 2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Canadian English ratings . 3. Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. Blocking based on Canadian French ratings Canadian‐French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by Québec’s Ministry of ...
16+ – Viewers 16 years and older 18+ – Adults only Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating. To block programs based on Canadian‐French ratings: 1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls , and then enter your parental control PIN. 2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Canadian French ratings `. 3. Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are automatically blocked. Blocking unrated programs Some broadcast TV programs and movies do not have an assigned rating, and are considered to be “Unrated”. Whether or not such programs contain content that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose to block such programs. To block all unrated broadcasts: 1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls , and then enter your parental control PIN. 2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Block all unrated programs . 3. Highlight Block all unrated programs and press OK. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changes from unlocked to locked. Tip: Blocking programs that have not been assigned a rating does not block programs that specifically have been assigned a US TV rating of “None” (for example a broadcast of a local town council meeting). Programs that do not have an assigned rating display Rating NA (for “not applicable,” meaning a rating is not needed). 99 ...

Choosing an audio format ® After making the required HDMI ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF optical connection, go to Settings > Audio > S/PDIF and ARC option and select the audio format to use. Choosing Auto detect is the easy solution, and generally provides good results. However, if you have a high‐end sound system and want to make sure you are getting the best sound quality available in the programs you are watching, you can choose another setting. Auto detect – Automatically detects the incoming audio format and transcodes it to a compatible available format for the audio output (ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF). Auto passthrough – Passes through the input audio to the connected receiver without transcoding, sometimes resulting in better audio quality especially for high‐end audio formats such as those that take advantage of the higher bandwidth of eARC, including Dolby MAT and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1, among others. PCM‐Stereo – Always outputs pulse‐code modulated stereo, regardless of input audio format. Dolby Digital – Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital. Dolby Digital Plus – Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital Plus. Dolby Digital – DTS – Converts all inputs except DTS to Dolby Digital. If DTS is detected and the receiver supports DTS, passes through the DTS audio without modification. Dolby Digital Plus – DTS – Converts all input formats except DTS to Dolby Digital Plus. If DTS is detected and the receiver supports DTS, passes through the DTS audio without modification. Note: DTS audio formats are meant to be used with ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF connections to a DTS‐ capable home theater receiver. If you use one of the DTS options with the TV speakers, you might not hear any audio.

To enable Fast TV Start, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Power. Controlling other devices through CEC Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) enables your TV and other CEC‐compatible home entertainment devices to control one another in various ways. First, the CEC‐compatible devices must “discover” one another and report their capabilities. After this, one device can control another according to the features you enable. For example, playing a disc on a Blu‐ray™ player could switch the TV to the Blu‐ ray™ player’s input. Or, powering off the TV could also power off the Blu‐ray™ player and the home theater receiver. Discover connected CEC devices To discover CEC devices: 1. Make sure that your CEC‐compatible devices are connected to the TV with a certified High ® ® Speed HDMI Cable that supports HDMI ARC and CEC control. 2. Turn on each device and make sure all devices are CEC enabled. Tip: Some manufacturers have their own branded names for CEC functionality, so you might need to read the product documentation to correctly identify the CEC features of the device. 3. On the TV’s Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and then select Search for CEC devices . Press OK to repeat the discovery process, if necessary. ® When finished, the TV displays a list of CEC devices that are connected to each HDMI input, as well as ...
® Enable HDMI ARC or eARC ® HDMI ARC, or on selected TVs, eARC, is the audio return channel that is available on one of the TV’s ® HDMI ports. The audio return channel enables you to send Dolby Audio™ or DTS audio content back to a ® home theater receiver that is also sending an audio and video signal into the TV. Using HDMI ARC or eARC reduces the number of cables needed and controls the volume and mute state of the receiver while watching TV. ® HDMI ARC or eARC is disabled by default. To enable it, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC), and then highlight HDMI ARC. Enable 1-touch play 1‐touch play enables a device to control which TV input is active. For example, pressing Play on your Blu‐ray™ player switches the TV to the Blu‐ray™ input. 1‐touch play is disabled by default. To enable 1‐touch play, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight 1‐touch play . Press OK to enable or disable the feature. Enable system standby The system standby feature causes other devices to power off when you power off your TV. Depending on the CEC System Standby implementation, it also might enable connected devices to power off your TV when you power off the device. System standby is disabled by default. To enable system standby, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC) and highlight System standby . Press OK to enable or disable the feature.

arbitraje tendrá lugar en el condado de Santa Clara, California, y será administrado por la Asociación Americana de Arbitraje (“AAA”) de conformidad con las normas que rijan a la AAA en ese momento, lo cual incluye (si correspondiera) los Procedimientos complementarios de la AAA para disputas relacionadas con los consumidores. Tenga en cuenta que no existen jueces ni jurados en el arbitraje. Los procedimientos de arbitraje son más simples y más limitados que las normas aplicables por un tribunal y la revisión de la decisión del árbitro por parte de un tribunal es limitada. ASIMISMO, USTED Y ROKU ACUERDAN QUE CADA UNO PUEDE PRESENTAR UNA RECLAMACIÓN EN CONTRA DEL OTRO SOLO EN FORMA INDIVIDUAL Y NO COMO DEMANDANTE O MIEMBRO DE UNA DEMANDA COLECTIVA EN UN SUPUESTO PROCEDIMIENTO O ACCIÓN JUDICIAL COLECTIVA O DE REPRESENTACIÓN. El árbitro no podrá consolidar o unir la reclamación de más de una persona, y no podrá presidir cualquier procedimiento consolidado, de representación o colectivo. Asimismo, el árbitro puede otorgar una compensación (lo cual incluye una compensación monetaria, medida cautelar o compensación declaratoria) solo en forma individual y no puede otorgar ningún tipo de compensación consolidada, de representación o colectiva. Sin perjuicio de cualquier declaración en contrario incluida en estos términos, si la exención de acción judicial colectiva incluida en esta disposición se considera inválida o no ejecutable, o bien si se permite que un arbitraje prosiga como acción colectiva, entonces ni usted ni Roku tendrán derecho a someter las Reclamaciones a arbitraje. Esta disposición de arbitraje está sujeta a la Ley de Arbitraje Federal. El laudo del árbitro será vinculante para usted y para Roku, y podrá presentarse ante cualquier tribunal de jurisdicción competente. La información acerca de la AAA y de cómo se inicia un proceso de arbitraje puede encontrarse en www.adr.org o llamando al 800‐778‐7879. Para Reclamaciones entre Usted y Roku de USD 75.000 o menos, usted será responsable de la tasa inicial de presentación de una disputa en un proceso de arbitraje, hasta el monto de la tasa inicial de presentación que debería pagar si iniciara una demanda legal en contra de Roku y ante un tribunal judicial en función de dichas Reclamaciones. Si el árbitro determina que dichas Reclamaciones no son infundadas, Roku pagará cualquier diferencia en dichas tasas de presentación más los honorarios del árbitro. Para las Reclamaciones entre Usted y Roku que superen los USD 75.000, si usted puede demostrar que los costos de arbitraje serán prohibitivos en comparación con los costos de litigar, Roku abonará el monto de las tasas de presentación reales y los honorarios del árbitro para el arbitraje, según el árbitro lo considere necesario, a fin de evitar que el arbitraje sea prohibitivo en cuanto a costo en comparación con el costo de litigar. Este acuerdo de arbitraje no aplica a cualquier Reclamación (a) en la cual una parte intente proteger sus derechos de propiedad intelectual (como su patente, derecho de autor, marca comercial, secreto comercial o derechos morales, pero sin incluir sus derechos de privacidad o publicidad), o(b) que pueda ser presentada ante un tribunal de reclamaciones menores. Si el acuerdo de arbitrar incluido en esta disposición se considerara inválido, no ejecutable o no aplicable para una Reclamación en particular entre Usted y Roku, entonces cualquier procedimiento para resolver dicha Reclamación debe presentarse exclusivamente ante un tribunal federal de jurisdicción competente en el Distrito del Norte de California o ante un tribunal estatal del condado de Santa Clara, California. Por medio del presente, usted presta su consentimiento irrevocable a la competencia y jurisdicción exclusiva de dichos tribunales. Derecho de desistimiento de 30 días: Usted tiene el derecho de desistir del presente acuerdo de arbitraje enviando una notificación escrita de su decisión de desistimiento a la siguiente dirección: Legal Department, Roku, Inc., 150 Winchester Circle Los Gatos, California 95032, EE.
