Connecting Other Audio/Video Devices - Sling Media Slingbox User Manual

Connecting other Audio/Video devices

One additional advantage of the Slingbox is the ability to stream more than just your television pro-
gramming. The Slingbox can control many DVD players, VCRs and CD players. Yes, you can even
listen to music from your CD player.
1. Connect the suitable cable from your device's outputs to the inputs on the Slingbox. You need
to use one of the supplied Audio/Video cables if your device uses A/V outputs.
2. Make sure your device is ON when you want to view it using the Slingbox.
The SlingRemote displays many DVD, VCR and CD player buttons. If you don't see the button
you want to use, select the Remote drop-down menu button at the top of the SlingRemote.
3. If you change what you originally connected to your Slingbox—for example, adding a new
device like a DVD player—you must apply this change within the SlingPlayer application as
well. See "Changing the Audio/Video settings" on page 58.
Important: Though you can connect many A/V devices to the
Slingbox, not all can be controlled. If your device category (for
example, a camcorder) is not among the categories listed during
setup, choose Non-controllable device.
