Xbox 360™ is the world's most advanced home entertainment system. Games, pictures, movies, music … all come through in stunning, multi-channel surround sound at epic, high-definition resolutions.

Unlock the machine's power with the premier line of audio/video (AV) cables from Microsoft®, which deliver eardrum-shaking audio and eye-popping visual effects. Forget atmospheric; we're talking cinema-quality performance and high-definition optimization right out of the box.

Boot up smash hits such as QUAKE™ 4 and see for yourself: explosive firefights that sprawl throughout its claustrophobic corridors achieve bowel-clenching realism. Alternately, pop in a DVD—upon re-entering The Matrix, you'll be blown away by the crispness and color. Or just stream music into your living room via a Windows® Media PC or portable media player. From Metallica to Miles Davis, jams sing out of your speakers with shocking crispness.

You don't need a 60-inch HDTV or custom home theater to experience the magic; it just helps. With the following accessories, anyone can enjoy a full frontal assault on their senses, served up the only way the console knows how—sizzling hot.

The ultimate solution for HDTV owners.

Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable
For maximum visual payoff, choose this one-stop solution for high-definition and standard TV sets. Capable of achieving dazzling 720p and 1080i gaming output, the cord—able to translate signals into individually processed red, green, and blue color components—offers the cleanest picture possible.

Connect the eight-foot shielded cable from your Xbox 360 to your television, and must-plays like Full Auto™ and FINAL Fantasy® XI glisten with graphical polish.

Progressive scan DVD playback is also possible in 480p, breathing new life into classic feature films. As for Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound output … let's just say the neighbors will be cowering as soon as explosions and screams start soaring across your speaker channels. The sonic caliber's that convincing.

Both the Component HD AV cable and the S-Video AV cable described below include a Composite Video Output and a Stereo Audio Output for added convenience.

Pump up picture quality in an instant.
