Connecting the audio and video cables
Now that you’ve seen the back of your Slingbox, let’s connect it!
Step 1: Audio connections
It’s best to first connect the audio cables.
Step 2: Video connections
Next, choose a method to connect each device that you want to use with your
Slingbox. Use the connections that provide the optimal video in your situation. After
you choose, connect the cables

These connections
provide stereo
sound.
Any cable with jacks
shaped like these are
also called RCA
cables.

to your video device and the other
to the IN ports on your Slingbox.
2. Connect another set of audio cables
to the OUT ports and then to your
TV.

Good quality.
This is a coaxial
connection and it's
used primarily to
connect to analog
Cable TV.
Coaxial cables carry
both video and audio.
1. If you have an available coaxial port
on your Cable TV box or video
device, connect one end of the
coaxial cable to it, and connect the
other end of the coaxial cable to the
ANT
IN port on your Slingbox.
2. Connect another coaxial cable to the
ANT
OUT port and then to your TV.
Very good quality.
A connection that
uses the red and
white audio cables
along with the yellow
video cable is called a
composite
connection.
1. If you have an available yellow video
port on your video device, connect
one end of the yellow video cable to
your video device and the other end
to the IN
1 ports on your Slingbox.
2. Connect another yellow video cable
to the OUT
1 port and then to your
TV.
Better quality.
This is an S-video
connection.
S-video cables carry
no sound, so they
must be used with
the red and white
audio cables.
1. If you have an available S-video port
on your video device, connect one
end of the S-video cable to your
video device.
2. Connect the other end to the IN 2
port on your Slingbox.
3. Connect another S-video cable to
the OUT
2 port and then to your TV.
Don’t connect the yellow cable.
