Connecting Multiple Audio/Video Sources To The Slingbox - Sling Media Slingbox User Manual

Connecting multiple Audio/Video sources to the Slingbox

All three of the Slingbox A/V inputs are available for use: Antenna/Cable In, S-Video In and A/V In. How-
ever, you can only set up one input during the initial installation of the SlingPlayer software. Once you
have completed the Setup Wizard for the first time, you can connect additional A/V devices to the
remaining Slingbox inputs.
If, for example, you connected your cable box or DVR to Antenna/Cable In on the Slingbox, you can later
connect a DVD player to A/V In and switch between these two inputs while using the SlingPlayer.
Note: If you plan to connect an A/V source to both A/V In and S-Video In, you will only receive the audio
signal from the source to which the A/V cable is connected. However, you can use one of these combi-
nations and receive both audio and video:
• Antenna/Cable In and A/V In, or
• Antenna/Cable In and S-Video In (along with the red and white audio from the A/V cable).
Connecting another A/V device
1. Connect the additional TV source or other A/V device to the available Slingbox input. IMPORTANT: If you connect an external A/V device, you must also attach
the extra emitter from the IR control cable to the front of the device so it can be controlled.
2. Start the SlingPlayer.
3. Select Properties from the Slingbox menu.
4. Select the Slingbox Configuration tab.
5. Click the Change button within the Audio/Video Setup category.
6. Click Next to go to the Connection to Your Slingbox screen.
7. Select the input to which you connected the new source and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Switching between A/V inputs
While streaming from your Slingbox, select Video Input from the Slingbox menu and then choose the input to which you want to switch. The SlingPlayer switches to
the input you selected and displays the appropriate remote control.
