User questions & answers

Question:	Do I have to pay an activation fee, if I already have a Roku account
Answer:	NO!!! I have been with Roku for 10-15 years & I've NEVER been charged an activation fee. I set up my new Express this past Friday 07/31/2020. When the screen came up, it gave me an activation code. All I had to do was go to the Roku website & log-in. Then I clicked on "Activate" in the upper right of the screen. A box came up asking for my activation code. I entered the code & in less than 30 seconds I saw the "Welcome to Roku" come across my TV screen. Any chance that you owed Roku for past charges??? During the log-in process, I did notice that they had a disclaimer that "Roku never charges to activate their boxes". I hope you have it cleared up by now!!! Since several people have asked this question, .I'm wondering IF some sellers aren't trying to scam buyers. I never call the 800 number that comes with any product. I go to their website to get the advertised toll free number. I set up my account completely online. The only thing I needed was my Roku username & password as well as my username & password for every premium channel that I belonged to like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc
Question:	Do you need a smart tv to use it
Answer:	We use our Roku Express (purchased in 2018) on a very old tv with no HDMI port with an RCA to HDMI converter that supports PAL/NTSC that we purchased on Amazon for about $12. We plugged in our RCA cable into one side converter and then to the TV, (It is the 3 pronged red, yellow, and white ended cable we used to use to connect our VCRs to the TV back in the 1990s that we never threw away-ha ha!). Amazon carries RCA cables for less than $6.
Question:	Can i use this with a samsung smart tv
Answer:	I have 2 Samsung Smart TVs--bought in 2015 and 2016. I want Disney+ but they are too old to support that app. So, for me, it is worth buying a Roku to get it.
Question:	I have a lg tv but for some reason the hdmi ports don't work, can i make it work with the av port
Answer:	Yes you can. Try https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Tackston-Composite-Nintendo-Integrated/dp/B07R6857Q7, It worked perfect for my old big screen.

CONVENIENCE. NOT COMPROMISE

Everyone loves the convenience of digital audio. Nobody enjoys the compromises digital audio playback sometimes involves. That’s why the CXN (V2) is designed to provide the effortless accessibility of digital audio, but with the uncompromised sonic excellence of Cambridge Audio’s 50-plus years of hi-fi experience. Ease of use meets quality of performance.

THE WORLD’S MUSIC, ANY WAY YOU WANT IT

Digital audio is available from many sources - and the CXN (V2) is able to deliver from those you love most. Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Qobuz and Tidal offer a world’s-worth of content, there’s Chromecast built-in to make things even easier, and the CXN (V2) is Roon Tested which means your NAS and UPnP audio is at your fingertips too. Add digital optical and coaxial inputs, asynchronous USB socket, aptX Bluetooth (via adapter) and internet radio, and the CXN (V2) brings the planet’s music into your home.

THE WHOLE STORY

Getting hold of the music you want is one thing. Being moved by the fidelity of its reproduction is quite another. That’s why the CXN (V2) is packing dual Wolfson WM8740 digital-to-analogue convertors - by upscaling any digital audio information to an information-packed 24bit/384kHz using Cambridge Audio’s unique ATF2 technology, music is delivered with the sort of warmth, depth, nuance and unity not automatically associated with digital audio.

POWER IN YOUR HANDS

The CXN (V2) features prodigious processing power, quite unlike that of any nominal rival. Cambridge Audio’s renowned Stream Magic platform ensures a slick, seamless and stable listening experience from any source, and its out-of-the-box MPEG-DASH and HLS compatibility means live streams are equally consistent and of equally high quality.

CONTROL. PURE AND SIMPLE

Interacting with CXN (V2) couldn’t be simpler or more satisfying. The bespoke Cambridge Audio Stream Magic app allows straightforward, stable and intuitive control of all connected sources - curate playlists, set presets or browse albums conveniently and in comfort. Then allow the big, colourful and crisp fascia display to show your commands or the album artwork of the music you’re enjoying.

MAKING THE BEST EVEN BETTER

Four What Hi-Fi? awards in a row speaks volumes about how well-loved the CXN (v2) is - but Cambridge Audio is always searching for ways to improve. A constant programme of development, a constant desire to seek out marginal gains in performance, and the ability to update the CXN (v2) remotely, as and when it’s required, means the best network audio streamer around just keeps getting better.
