# Getting started with the default UI on Roku

The Roku SDK displays native controls when the `controls` field on the `THEOplayer` node is enabled. It is enabled by default, or you can set it explicitly:

```xml
<THEOsdk:THEOplayer id="TestPlayer" controls="true" />
```

Configure the Player and set a source as described in the [Roku SDK getting-started guide](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-873/theoplayer/getting-started/sdks/roku/getting-started.md). Roku renders its native playback controls when playback begins.

Use the [default UI how-to guide](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-873/theoplayer/how-to-guides/roku/ui/remove-ui-element.md) to remove individual controls. Set `controls` to `false` if you want to build a [chromeless UI](https://docs-preview.optiview.dolby.com/pr-873/theoplayer/how-to-guides/roku/ui/chromeless.md).
