Ir Control Setup - Sling Media Slingbox User Manual

IR Control Setup

Slingbox attempts to communicate with your external device on this screen (the device
connected using the co-axial/RF cable only) using the supplied IR control cable. The test is
performed using a button that will communicate with your device.
Click the button beneath the video window to test the IR connection. Click Next to continue
to the next screen if your device responded properly.
If the test does not work:
• Make sure you securely attached the IR control cable to Slingbox. The cable clicks in when
fully inserted.
If the IR control cable is not securely attached, Slingbox will not be able to communicate
with your devices.
• Make sure the emitter ends of the IR control cable point at your device's IR sensor.
• Make sure you selected the correct television source. Click Back to return to the previous
screen to confirm your selection.
Tip
If your device uses the Power button as a test, be sure to click Power again to
turn it back on.
