Rear panel connectors

•Power: The Slingbox does not have an on/off switch. Plug it in to power it on. The green Power light on the front indicates that the Slingbox is on.

•IR (infrared): Allows the Slingbox to change chan- nels on your cable box or satellite receiver, and use the menus of the device you connected, including a DVR. The emitter ends of the IR control cable are placed so they point at the IR sensor on your device.

•Network: The most reliable connection to your router is with the supplied Ethernet cable. You may use alternative connections, such as Powerline wall-plug bridges or a wireless bridge. Wall-plugs are more reliable than wireless connections.

•S-Video Out: Optionally connect your Audio/Video source back to your television. Also connect the A/V cable to your TV to send the audio and leave the yel- low (video) cable unplugged.

•A/V Out: Optionally connect your Audio/Video source back to your television.
