 TROUBLESHOOTING

 

 

 

1. If the power light is not on: 

 

Disconnect the power cable from both the Slingbox and the electrical outlet and   

 

reconnect them - making sure that they are secure.

2. If the network light is not on: 

 

 Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the back of the Slingbox and re-insert it. you 
will hear a click when it is fully inserted. 

 

Do the same with the other end of the Ethernet cable, making sure that it is                           

                   attached to your router. 

 

Make sure that your router is on the same home network as your Slingbox.

3. If the network light is continuously blinking:

 

 Press and hold the reset button on the back of the Slingbox for 10 seconds. The 
lights on the front of the Slingbox quickly flash from left to right, and then flash 
slowly. This resets the Slingbox to factory settings. If you've already configured 
your Slingbox using SlingPlayer, you'll need to go through the setup assistant again 
after you reset your Slingbox.

 

 Turn your router off and back on again. note: Most routers do not have on/off 
switches. you may need to unplug and plug the router back into the electrical 
outlet.

4. If the SlingPlayer software does not discover the Slingbox on your network:

 

Some firewall security software blocks the Slingbox from being recognized on    

 

your home network. If this occurs, you need to change your security   

 

 

software settings to see the Slingbox as a device on your network.

5. If you don’t see your audio/video source while installing the SlingPlayer software:

 

 re-check the cable connections between your a / V devices and the Slingbox. 
Make sure that the cables are fully inserted into the connectors on the back of the 
Slingbox and your a / V devices. The cables should fit snugly.

6. If the SlingPlayer application is not controlling your A/V source:

 

Make sure the remote control Ir cable is fully inserted. Move the Ir emitters to a  

 

different location on the front of your cable/satellite box or DVr.

7. If your TV is no longer receiving a signal:

 

 Connect the output of the Slingbox to your TV's inputs. Make sure your TV is set to 
the correct input. For example, if your Slingbox is connected to your TV's InPUT 1 
jacks, change the input setting to InPUT 1. 

 

Turn your router off and back on again. note: Most routers do not have on/off  

 

 

switches. you may need to unplug and plug the router back into the electrical  

 

outlet.
