SlingPlayer software installation

Follow these steps to install the software for your Slingbox.

1.Insert the supplied CD into your computer. If the InstallShield Wizard does not automatically start, run the “Install.exe” file on the installation CD.

2.Follow the on-screen steps to complete setup. If you connected the cables correctly, the video from your television source displays during setup. Recheck your connections if you don’t see video. Make sure all of the cables are securely attached.

The first part of the installation loads the SlingPlayer application on your computer. Follow the Wizard screens to complete the installation.

1.This is the first screen you will see. Click Next to begin the installa- tion. Follow the on-screen instructions.

There is a software license agreement that you must accept to continue with the installation. Also, choose the destination folder where the SlingPlayer application will reside. It defaults to the same location as other programs installed on your computer. Once the installation is complete, the Wizard places the SlingPlayer shortcut on your desktop. This is what you will double-click to watch your Slingbox.

2.Click Finish to exit the installation Wizard and continue with the SlingPlayer setup process, described on the following pages.
