	may want to afﬁx the IR cable using the adhesive pads.

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, highest-quality video experience, it is recommended that you connect your Slingbox to your router with a wired Ethernet connection.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch one channel remotely while another person at home watches a different channel?

No. When you watch yourTV remotely, you control it with the on-screen remote control. Changing channels remotely is the same as changing them at home and you are essentially sharing theTV with those at home.

If I have more than one video source or set-top box, where should I connect the Slingbox?

Connect your Slingbox to the video source or set-top box from which you want to watch, but that is used least often.That way, you won’t be as likely to interfere with those who are watching the mainTV setup.

Can two viewers access a single Slingbox and watch TV at the same time?

No. Only one viewer at a time can access a Slingbox to watchTV.

Does the TV have to be on at home when I access and watch from a remote location?

No.TheTV does not have to be on for you to access and watch remotely. Also, watching yourTV from a remote location does not turn on theTV.

Can I access and watch my TV internationally?

Yes, of course, but the video quality is only as good as your Internet connection.
