TIP — Locating the IR Sensor
The IR sensor is on the front of your A/V source, usually behind a dark, some- times reddish, plastic window. If you don’t see the sensor, shine a flashlight through the window and look for a small bulb similar to the one on the end of the remote control IR cable.
3 Connect to Your Network
For the most consistent,
1 Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Slingbox NETWORK jack.
2 Connect the other end to your router.
TIP — Router in a Different Room
If your router is in a different room than yourTV and Slingbox, use the SlingLink (sold separately) or a similar powerline Ethernet adapter to connect the router to the Slingbox. The SlingLink uses your home’s existing electrical wiring to transmit the Ethernet signal. For optimal performance, plug the adapters directly into a wall outlet; do not connect them to a power strip or extension cord. See www.slingbox.com for more information.
