What’s in the Box

Setup

FOLD

Before you begin.

Write down the type, brand and model of the A/V source to which you plan to connect the Slingbox.

You’ll need this information for the online portion of the setup.

SOURCE TYPE (for example, DVR, cable box or satellite receiver)

BRAND (for example, Comcast

, DISH Network

or TiVo

)

MODEL (for example, Motorola

DCT6412 or ViP

722)

Other setup considerations include:

The Slingbox SOLO connects to one audio/video (A/V) source, such as a DVR, cable box, satellite receiver or DVD player. If

you have more than one A/V source in your home, connect the Slingbox to the one from which you want to watch, but also

consider the viewing habits of other members of the household (see the “Frequently Asked Questions” for more details).

The Slingbox SOLO comes with a composite A/V cable (white, red, yellow) to connect to a standard-deﬁnition A/V source. If

your A/V source is high deﬁnition and you plan to use the Slingbox for in-home viewing, you can purchase a component cable

(blue, red, green) for enhanced video quality. If you only plan to use your Slingbox for watching your TV outside of the home,

purchasing a component cable may not be required.

You must have a router on your home network to use the Slingbox. If your router is in a different room than your TV and

Slingbox, you need a SlingLink™ (sold separately) or similar powerline Ethernet adapter to connect them. See Step 3 for more

information.

If your A/V source is currently connected to the TV with a composite

cable, follow these steps to connect your Slingbox:

1 Disconnect the cable from the TV and connect it to the

corresponding white, red, and yellow inputs on the Slingbox.

2 Insert the connectors of the included composite cable into the

outputs on the Slingbox.

3 Connect the other ends of the cable to the corresponding

inputs on the TV.

If your TV is connected to your A/V source with a component cable

and your A/V source has multiple outputs, you can connect your

Slingbox with the included composite cable.

— Connect your A/V source outputs to your Slingbox inputs,

matching the white, red, and yellow connectors.

If you wish to use the included composite cable to hook up your

Slingbox but your A/V source has only one audio output, you must

pass the audio through the Slingbox to the TV. See “HD Setup for

an A/V Source with a Single Output” at the back of this guide for

more information.

TIP — For Enhanced Video Quality

For enhanced video quality around the

home, you may purchase a component

cable (blue, red, green) to connect your

Slingbox to a high-deﬁnition A/V

source. Component cables only provide

the video signal, so you must use the

white and red connectors of the

included composite cable for audio.

Attach Remote Control IR Cable The remote control IR cable allows you to control your TV (such as change channels or watch a show recorded on your DVR) with the on-screen remote control. 1 Connect the remote control IR cable to the IR jack on the Slingbox. 2 Place the remote control IR cable head on the top or bottom (or top and bottom for maximum coverage) of your A/V source so that it points at the IR sensor.
