Viewing Options; Windowed Mode; Minimized Mode - Sling Media Slingbox User Manual

Viewing Options

A convenient way to watch TV and work at the same time! As you use SlingPlayer, you may want to "dock" the video
and SlingRemote on one side of your computer screen. For example, you're surfing the Web or writing an e-mail and
want to watch TV at the same time. The window icons in the upper right corner of SlingPlayer are designed with this
in mind.
Keyboard shortcuts are also available to quickly move SlingPlayer around the screen. Move your mouse over an icon or
button to see its equivalent shortcut.
The different viewing options are:
• Window
• Dock Left
• Dock Right
• Full Screen

Windowed Mode

Windowed viewing is the default mode of SlingPlayer. When you start SlingPlayer, it starts in this mode.
To restore window viewing:
1. Click on SlingPlayer.
SlingPlayer changes to the windowed mode.
See Table 1, "Different SlingPlayer Viewing Modes," on page 61.

Minimized Mode

If you are only listening to SlingPlayer, your CD collection or the commentary of a basket ball game, you can minimize SlingPlayer to the Windows task bar.
To minimize SlingPlayer:
1. Click on SlingPlayer.
SlingPlayer minimizes to a button on the Windows task bar. Click the SlingPlayer task bar button to restore it.
See Table 1, "Different SlingPlayer Viewing Modes," on page 61.
