Control Mode
The SlingStream Control Mode technology gives you rapid response when you are changing channels, controlling your cable/satellite box, or fast
forwarding your DVR. It provides faster response time but may result in temporary jittery video.
• Automatic (default): When you select any remote control button, Slingbox automatically toggles into and out of Control Mode to give you fast
response.
• Manual: If you click on Sling Remote, your Slingbox will remain in Control Mode until you click it again. This is helpful when you are spending a lot
of time controlling a device, such as rewinding a video. See "Preferences" on page 76.
