Sling Media Router SB260-100 User Manual

Rear panel connectors

• Power: The Slingbox does not have an on/off switch. 

Plug it in to power it on. The green Power light on 

the front indicates that the Slingbox is on.

• IR (infrared): Allows the Slingbox to change chan-

nels on your cable box or satellite receiver, and use 

the menus of the device you connected, including a 

DVR. The emitter ends of the IR control cable are 

placed so they point at the IR sensor on your device.

• Network: The most reliable connection to your 

router is with the supplied Ethernet cable. You may 

use alternative connections, such as Powerline 

wall-plug bridges or a wireless bridge. Wall-plugs 

are more reliable than wireless connections.

 

• S-Video Out: Optionally connect your Audio/Video 

source back to your television. Also connect the A/V 

cable to your TV to send the audio and leave the yel-

low (video) cable unplugged.

• A/V Out: Optionally connect your Audio/Video 

source back to your television.

• Antenna/Cable In: Connect the incoming antenna or analog cable TV source directly to the Slingbox. You may also use this connection if your cable box, satellite 

receiver or DVR does not have available S-Video and/or A/V outputs.

• S-Video In: From your A/V source. Also connect the supplied A/V cable to your A/V source to send the audio and leave the yellow (video) cable unplugged.

• A/V In: From the Audio/Video outputs on your A/V source.

• Reset: Used only to restore your Slingbox to factory settings. This clears all of your Slingbox settings. See page 83 for details.
