Rear Panel Connectors

• Power: Slingbox does not have an on/off switch.
Plug it in to power it on. The green Power light
on the front indicates that Slingbox is on.
• IR (infrared): Allows Slingbox to change
channels on your cable box or satellite receiver,
and use the menus of the device you connected,
including a DVR. The emitter ends of the IR
control cable are placed so they point at the IR
sensor on your device.
• Network: The most reliable connection to your
router is with the supplied Ethernet cable. You
may use alternative connections, such as
Powerline wall plug bridges or a wireless bridge.
Wall plugs are more reliable than wireless
connections.
• S-Video Out: Optionally connect your Audio/
Video source back to your television. Also,
connect the A/V cable to your TV to send the
audio and leave the yellow (video) cable
unplugged.
• A/V Out: Optionally connect your Audio/Video
source back to your television.
• Antenna/Cable In: Connect the incoming antenna or analog cable TV source directly to Slingbox. You may also use this connection if your cable box,
satellite receiver, or DVR does not have available S-Video and/or A/V outputs.
• S-Video In: From your A/V source. Also, connect the supplied A/V cable to your A/V source to send the audio and leave the yellow (video) cable
unplugged.
• A/V In: From the Audio/Video outputs on your A/V source.
