Step 3 — Network setup (2–5 minutes)

• For Wi‑Fi: choose your network, enter the password, and confirm connection.
• For Ethernet: the device should obtain an IP automatically; confirm connectivity in network status.

Step 4 — Account and services (optional, 5–10 minutes)

• Sign in or create the required account (manufacturer or platform) to access apps and cloud features.

Step 5 — Display and audio optimization (2–5 minutes)

1. In Settings → Display, set resolution to your TV’s native (e.g., 1080p or auto).
2. Adjust HDR/colour settings if available.
3. In Settings → Audio, choose HDMI passthrough, PCM, or passthrough based on your sound system.

Step 6 — Install and organize apps (5–10 minutes)

1. Open the app store on the device and install the streaming apps you use.
2. Pin or move favorite apps to the home screen for quick access.

Step 7 — Remote pairing and optional accessories (2–5 minutes)
