Connecting your Audio/Video source to the Slingbox

Additional information about the steps in the Quick Setup Guide is provided here. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide before reading this chapter.

If you are setting up your Slingbox with:

•A cable box, satellite receiver, or a DVR (such as a TiVo® or ReplayTV®), see “Connecting a cable box, satellite receiver or a DVR” on page 13.

•Antenna or cable only (no cable box), see “Connecting your antenna or analog cable (no cable box)” on page 15.

•Another Audio/Video device, see “Connecting other Audio/Video devices” on page 16.

Important: See “Sharing an Audio/Video source” on page 12 if your cable box, satellite receiver or DVR does not have available outputs.

Tip: All three of the Slingbox A/V inputs are available for use: Antenna/Cable In, S-Video In and A/V In. However, you can only set up one input during the initial installation of the SlingPlayer software. See “Connecting multiple Audio/Video sources to the Sling- box” on page 17 for information on setting up additional inputs after the initial software installation.
