Using the SlingRemote

The SlingPlayer remote control displays the buttons for the device you con- nected to your Slingbox. If you connected a DVR, you can play your recorded programs and control the action. You can even schedule recordings right from the SlingPlayer. Use the SlingRemote to control whatever you connect to the Slingbox.

1.Click on the remote control icon at the bottom of the video window to display the remote control.

2.Use the buttons as you normally did before you connected the Slingbox.

A:Access your menus and guides. Use all of your cable box, satellite receiver or DVR menus and guides.

B:Channel surf. Tune to a channel while you’re watching live television. If you resized the remote control to a narrow view, click the left or right arrow buttons to scroll through each separate remote control section. The remote is grouped in logical order.

C:Control the action. Familiar playback options for your recorded programs and live action. Play, pause, skip ahead and back, fast forward and rewind. You’re in control of your DVR wherever you go. Click on the Remote menu to access all of the remote controls for your device. You can even schedule recordings on your DVR right from the SlingPlayer.

Note: The SlingRemote might look slightly different, depending on the device you connected to your Slingbox. If you’re not sure what a button does, move your mouse over the button for a description.
