The TCL Roku TV interface is a bit different from other televisions you might use. Most people are used to an “Input” button on their remote for switching inputs. With the TCL Roku TV, things are a bit different. Note: Inputs must be setup first before they show
as an option. If you haven’t setup any inputs yet, see the section of this post titled “Setting Up Inputs”. Use these steps to switch inputs: Most Roku TV models have a tiny joystick type of button located on the back of the TV next to the ports. Sometimes this button is located on the edge of the TV under the logo.Switching Inputs From Home Screen
Switching Inputs Without Remote
Press in on the stick then release it to bring up a menu on the screen. Flick the stick up and down to choose the HDMI port you wish to use. Once the selection is highlighted, press in on the stick then release it to make the selection.
Setting Up Inputs
- From the Home screen, press the left arrow to show the menu, then select “Settings” on the left pane.
- Choose “TV Inputs“, then press “OK“.
- A menu will appear to the right where you can choose the desired input
(HDMI 1, HDMI 2, Live TV, etc.)
- Select “Rename” to give the port a name. You can choose names related to the attached device like “Wii” or “XBox”
Setting a Default Input
The option to set the input used when you turn the TCL Roku TV on is in a different set of settings.
- From the Home screen, press the left arrow to show the menu, then select “Settings” on the left pane.
- Navigate down to highlight “System” then press “OK“.
- Highlight “Power“, then press “OK“.
- Navigate down to highlight “Power On“, then press “OK“.
- Choose the option desired for the input to be used when the TV is powered on.
Note: I have been made aware that some models only have an option for “Home” or “Last used TV input”. I don’t believe there is a way to upgrade your TV to have the other options.
