STEP 3: CONNECT THE REMOTE CONTROL IR CABLE • Remove the remote control IR cable from the A/V Pack. • Connect the remote control IR cable to the IR connector on the Slingbox. • Place the remote control IR cable heads on the top or bottom of your DVR or Cable/Satellite BOX Receiver so they point at its IR sensor. Make sure they extend out far enough over the front of the device to send a signal to your Cable Box or Satellite Receiver.

DO NOT USE THIS POWER SUPPLY ON ANY OTHER SLING MEDIA PRODUCT. When plugged in, the power light comes on, and the lights blink a few times as the Slingbox starts up.

Troubleshooting Before you try anything else: • • • Make sure that everything is connected properly. Make sure that all of the cables are firmly connected. Make sure that everything is plugged in and turned on. I don’t understand what the lights on the front of Slingbox SOLO mean. Is something wrong? There are three LED lights on the front of Slingbox SOLO. No. This is normal.
