How do I use my Apple TV™ with my Slingbox?

The first step is to hook everything up properly!

Note: You'll need component video and analog stereo cables that are compatible with your audio/video equipment. For more information on AppleTV compatible cables, contact your Apple retailer or visit the Apple web site.

• If you have a Slingbox PRO, you'll need the Slingbox HD Connect. Using compatible cables, connect your AppleTV, the HD Connect and your television as described in the HD Connect QuickStartGuide.


• If you have a Slingbox SOLO or a Slingbox PRO-HD, you'll just need to connect your AppleTV, your Slingbox SOLO and your television as described in the QuickStartGuide for your Slingbox.

Once you've connected your AppleTV to your Slingbox, follow these steps:

1. Launch the SlingPlayer for the Macintosh application.
2. From the Slingbox menu, choose Get Info.
3. In the Slingbox Info window, select the Configuration tab.
4. In the Configuration tab, click the Change Audio/Video Setup button.
5. Follow the prompts (you may be asked for your Admin password).
6. When you reach the Source Selection window, select Miscellaneous Device, and click Continue.
7. In the Device Brand window, select Apple, and then click Continue.
8. In the Device Model window, select Apple TV, and then click Continue to finish setting up your Slingbox.

Now both the SlingPlayer for the Macintosh and Windows will be able to control an Apple TV!
