Connect to a High-Definition TV


To connect your Xbox 360™ console to your high-definition TV (HDTV):

  1. Turn off your console.
  2. Connect the AV connector on the HD AV cable to the AV port on the console.
  3. Set the switch on the AV port connector to HDTV. The switch should be set to HDTV if the TV supports high definition resolutions such as 480p, 576p, 720p, or 1080i.
  4. Connect the red, green, and blue color-banded connectors on the HD AV cable to the corresponding color inputs (Y, Cb/Pb, Cr/Pr) on your TV. Leave the yellow color-banded composite connector unconnected.
  5. Connect the solid color left and right (white and red) audio connectors on the HD AV cable to the audio inputs on your TV.
  6. Turn on your console. From the System area, you can change your display and HDTV settings. Select the appropriate high-definition video setting for your TV.

If you encounter problems with setup, see Troubleshoot Audio/Video Connections.

Connect to a Standard TV

To connect your console to your standard TV:

  1. Turn off your console.
  2. Connect the AV connector on the HD AV cable to the AV port on your console.
  3. Set the switch on the AV port connector to TV.
  4. Connect the yellow color-banded composite signal connector on the HD AV cable to the yellow input on your TV. Leave the red, green, and blue color-banded connectors unconnected.
  5. Connect the solid color left and right (white and red) audio connectors on the HD AV cable to the audio inputs on your TV.
    • Alternatively, connect the solid red, solid white and yellow signal connectors to the red, white and yellow connectors on the SCART Adaptor (included with the Xbox 360 Package), then connect the SCART adaptor to a SCART socket on your TV.

      Note

      For monaural (mono) TVs, which have only one audio input jack, connect either the right or left audio connector to the audio input.

If you encounter problems with setup, see Troubleshoot Audio/Video Connections.
