BEFORE YOU BEGIN SETUP: HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN CONNECT TO YOUR SLINGBOX: To make the setup process easier, write down the type, brand and model of the A/V sources, along with information about your home network. This will come in handy when you configure the software later on.
Step 1: CONNECT YOUR HD SOURCE VIDEO: If you have a high-definition device, you can connect it to your Slingbox with the included component video cables. Component video cables have a set of green, blue and red connectors. Connect these cables to the component jacks labeled IN on your Slingbox PRO-HD. These jacks are in the top row on the back of your Slingbox. Connect the other ends of the component cables to the output component jacks on your HD video source.
Step 2: CONNECT YOUR SD SOURCE VIDEO: If you have an SD (standard definition) A/V device, you can connect it to your Slingbox using the included composite cables. Composite cables have a yellow connector for video, along with red and white connectors for audio. Insert the yellow connector into the yellow composite jack labeled IN on your Slingbox PRO-HD. This jack is in the top row on the back of your Slingbox.
Step 3: CONNECT YOUR COAX SOURCE Coaxial cable carries both video and sound. They're used to connect antennas or to some cable TV systems. Connect your coaxial source to the jack labeled COAX IN on your Slingbox PRO-HD. If your coaxial A/V source is already connected to your TV with a coaxial cable, disconnect it from the TV and then re-connect this cable to the COAX IN jack on your Slingbox.
Step 5: LINK to your network • Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Slingbox NETWORK jack. • Connect the other end into your router. The Slingbox works with almost any router with a high-speed Internet connection or a broadband home network. You must have a router to use the Slingbox. Step 6: attach the power adapter • Connect the power adapter cable into the Slingbox POWER jack. • Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. WARNING: THE INCLUDED POWER SUPPLY IS FOR THE SLINGBOX PRO-HD.
Step 7: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE Now that you have the Slingbox connected, you’re ready to install the software. Before you do, make sure that your computer is on the same network as your Slingbox. Next, go to http://downloads.slingmedia.com and follow the instructions to download the latest software to your PC or Mac. Once you've downloaded the software, follow the onscreen instructions to install SlingPlayer™ and to configure your Slingbox.
