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).

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

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

included composite cable for audio.
