The Xbox 360™ VGA HD AV Cable (sold separately) lets you connect your Xbox 360 console to a VGA-type (15-pin D-Sub) input on a CRT, LCD, or HDTV monitor or television and an audio/video surround receiver or integrated amplifier. It is for use exclusively with the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. Important Stationary images in video games can "burn" into some TV screens, creating a permanent shadow. Consult your television's owner's manual or manufacturer before playing games. Your monitor may not have a VGA input. If not, you may need to purchase the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable to view high-definition output from the Xbox 360 console.  If you encounter problems with setup, see Troubleshoot Audio/Video Connections.
Audio CapabilitiesThe VGA HD AV cable's high-quality analog audio connectors are standard red/white RCA jacks that plug into most televisions and all audio components. This makes it easy to route the sound from your Xbox 360 console to an AV surround receiver or integrated amplifier so that you can listen to your games, DVD movies, and music through your home theater or stereo system. For ultimate sonic fidelity and the capacity to enjoy discrete, multichannel surround sound from select games and most DVD movies, Xbox 360 users can take advantage of the component HD AV cable's digital audio output using a Toslink optical digital audio cable (not included). 
When connected to a compatible AV surround receiver and speaker system, the VGA HD AV cable can pass 2-channel digital audio (for stereo or Dolby Pro Logic listening) as well as full Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround signals to envelop you in rich, dynamic music and sound effects.
