Cable connection to your Slingbox

It’s important to indicate how you connected your television or other A/V source to the Slingbox. The S-Video connection pro- vides the best video quality. If your television source has an avail- able S-Video output, you should take advantage of the superior video quality it delivers.

If you see video but don’t hear the audio, or vice versa, you may have misconnected the cables. Make sure what you choose on this screen matches the cables you used to connect your Sling- box.

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. Once you have completed the Setup Wizard for the first time, you can connect additional A/V devices to the remaining Slingbox inputs.

If, for example, you connected your cable box or DVR to Antenna/

Cable In on the Slingbox, you can later connect a DVD player to

A/V In and switch between these two inputs while using the

SlingPlayer.

See “Connecting multiple Audio/Video sources to the Slingbox” on page 17 for information on setting up additional inputs after the initial software installation.
