Preferences - Sling Media Slingbox User Manual

Preferences

The Preferences tab contains additional helpful Slingbox settings.
1. Select Player > SlingPlayer Options.
The Options window opens.
2. Update the following settings in the Preferences tab.
• Full Screen Warning. The full screen warning is displayed when you attempt to watch your
Slingbox at higher resolutions than normal TV (this is 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high). Clear this
to stop seeing the warning.
• SlingStream Control Mode. The SlingStream Control Mode technology gives you rapid response
when you are changing channels or otherwise controlling your cable/satellite box or DVR. It
provides faster response time but may result in temporary jittery video. An alert can display to
remind you to turn Control Mode off to return to normal viewing mode.
• Video Quality Problems. SlingPlayer can detect if your video quality has problems and will alert
you. Clear this option to disable this feature.
• Save Slingbox Information. When selected, SlingPlayer automatically saves the Slingbox ID for a
given Slingbox in your Slingbox Directory any time you connect to a new Slingbox. If you clear this
option, you will have to manually add a Slingbox to your directory when you want to access it
remotely.
• Reconnect Automatically. When selected, SlingPlayer starts reconnecting to the last Slingbox you were watching whenever you launch the software. If
you only have a single Slingbox, you may want to check this for faster connections.
• Language. You can change your language settings in SlingPlayer to have them match a different language. Select the language of your choice from the
drop-down list.
3. Click OK to save the changes.
