About the included cables

You probably won’t need to use all of the cables included with your Slingbox. The way in which you connect the Slingbox depends on the type of entertainment and networking equipment you want to connect. Here’s a little information on the cables included with the Slingbox.

Cable or cable combination

What it’s used for

This combination provides the best video quality. If your cable/satellite box, DVR or other external A/V device has an available S-Video output, you should take advantage of the superior video quality it delivers. Connect the supplied S-Video cable from the S-Video output on your external device to S-Video In on the Slingbox.

Leave the yellow (composite) video cable unattached. You must also connect the red and white audio cables to the audio outputs on your external device and to A/V In on the Slingbox.

S-Video cable with Audio cables

This cable provides good video quality. Connect one end from the available A/V outputs on your external device to A/V In on the Slingbox.

Audio/Video cable

Use this cable to connect your antenna or analog cable TV source directly to the Slingbox.

You may also use this cable if your A/V source device does not have S-Video or Audio/Video outputs. Connect this sup- plied coaxial cable from the output on your A/V device to Antenna/Cable In on the Slingbox.

Note: You cannot use S-Video or A/V Out from the Slingbox to your TV if you use the coaxial cable.
