Connecting your Audio/Video source to the Slingbox

Connecting a cable box, satellite receiver or a DVR

If you have a cable box, satellite receiver or a DVR, connect this device to the Slingbox, as shown below.

1.Connect your cable box, satellite receiver or DVR to the Slingbox. Choose one of the connections below based on the available outputs on your cable box, satel- lite receiver or DVR. See “About the included cables” on page 8 for more information on the included cables. If you have a standalone DVR already connected to a cable box or satellite receiver, connect the outputs from your DVR to the Slingbox inputs.

•S-Video and Audio cables: This combination provides the best video quality. If your cable box, satellite receiver or DVR has an available S-Video output, you should take advantage of the superior quality it delivers. Connect the supplied S-Video cable from the S-Video output on your cable/satellite box or DVR to S-Video In on the Slingbox. You must also connect the red and white audio cables.

•Audio/Video cable: This cable provides good video quality. Connect one end from the available outputs on your cable/satellite box or DVR to A/V In on the Sling- box.

•Coaxial cable: Only use this cable if your cable/satellite box or DVR does not have S-Video or Audio/Video outputs. Connect the supplied coaxial cable from the output on your cable/satellite box or DVR to Antenna/Cable In on the Slingbox.
