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.
