Roku® Streambar® SE

Roku Streambar SE works with most TVs that have an HDMI connection. For the simplest one‑cable setup, your TV needs an HDMI ARC port; if it doesn’t, you can still use Roku Streambar SE by connecting with HDMI plus using the included optical audio cable.

Key details:

• TV requirements: Works with any TV that has HDMI‑ARC or HDMI and optical ports.
• HD & 4K support: Streams up to 1080p HD on HD TVs and up to 4K on 4K TVs; for 4K HDR, your TV must support HDR and HDCP 2.2.
• Simple setup: Everything you need is in the box—just plug it into your TV, connect to power and the internet, then follow the on‑screen steps.
• 4K & HDR note: To enjoy 4K and HDR, you’ll need a compatible TV and streaming channels that offer 4K/HDR content.
• Remote compatibility: Included remote has TV power, volume, and mute buttons that work with most TVs.

Yes—Roku Streambar SE works great with Roku TV. When you connect it to a Roku TV, you get smoother setup, simple access to sound settings, and can control both the TV and Streambar SE with your Roku TV remote.

Key details:

• Plug‑and‑play with Roku TV: Streambar SE connects seamlessly to Roku TV models and is recognized automatically during setup.
• Unified control: Use your Roku TV remote to control TV power, volume, and streaming, reducing the need to juggle remotes.
• Easy audio adjustments: Access sound modes and audio settings right from the Roku TV interface.

Roku Streambar SE is ideal if you want a simple 2‑in‑1 upgrade that adds both 4K streaming and noticeably better TV sound—especially on smaller, older, or smaller space TVs.

Who it’s best for:

• People with hard-to-hear speakers: Many TVs have small, downward‑firing speakers that make dialogue hard to hear. Streambar SE adds two front‑facing speakers, enhanced speech clarity, and sound modes so TV voices are clearer at everyday volumes.
• Viewers upgrading a secondary TV (bedroom, dorm, small living room): Compact design with surprisingly big sound and 4K streaming is a strong fit for smaller spaces where a full sound system isn’t practical.
• People who want better streaming and audio in one device: Combines a 4K HDR Roku player and soundbar into a single device, with everything needed for setup in the box (HDMI, optical, remote, and power).
• Late‑night or shared‑space viewers: Use Bluetooth Headphone Mode or quieter sound modes (Night/Leveling) to avoid waking others.

Yes—Roku Streambar SE works as a regular TV soundbar and has Roku 4K streaming built in, so you get better sound and streaming in one compact device.

Key details:

• Soundbar functionality: Two front‑facing speakers boost TV audio, so dialogue sounds louder and clearer than most built‑in TV speakers.
• Everyday use: Use it as your main soundbar for cable TV, streaming, or video games and enjoy fuller, more impactful sound than your TV alone can produce.
• All‑in‑one design: Because Roku 4K streaming is built in, you don’t need a separate streaming player plus soundbar—one device handles both.
