Need help to plug in my tv to 360. - Aug 18, 2006 00:32
What do i do?

I switched the siwtch behing the 360 to HD,but when i start nothing happend.
And yes my tv is hd-ready and hd-comptiable and 720p/1080i.

when i put all my cables into that scart thing it starts,but as soon as i select HD i get a blue screen saying AV.
I can hear the sound but not the video.

I had that problem aswell but it turned out that I needed the Vga cable instead of the seperated one (if that makes sense).

HD is not ready yet... Stick with widescreen monitors, they are the best..

Tiz im very unlucky man.

Listen here.

With ps3 you can do as what uou can with a 360.
However you do that with DVI over VGA,DVI is better.
My LCDTV hasn' t a fucking VGA,but a DVI.
Now HDMI/DVI is good for me with blu-ray and ps3,but fucking noooo

Majik,i have no screen on my 360.
Why?
Cause when i have HD on,i have nothing that is really HD on,becauise my cables arnt enough.
You need 5 cables to put in,my TV only has 3 slots.

And you need a VGA connector for the HD if you wanna go with like the PC way to get HD.
And MY LCD TV has DVI instead.

Yea but three (I think red, green blue) of them is for the picture and two for the sound (yellow,red) if you have the three a picture should come up just not with sound.

I use to play my 360 on the plasma in the living room and that was dvi and worked ok. The problem i' m having with the lcd one it' s connected to is I have no sound even though the wires are connected right....

Ginjouro Yes and no.

My tv is perfect for HD movies/sports.
And future hd-dvd or blu-ray or a ps3.
However i read this.


19. Is there any way to play Xbox 360 games through a large HD screen (Apple) which only has a DVI connector? I heard Microsoft may release a DVI cable. Will this be ready for launch?

Since there is no Xbox 360 cable with DVI or HDMI output, you’ll need a VGA to DVI adapter if you want to connect via a DVI input.


That VGA to advi adapter+the 360 vga cable can i buy for around 50 dollar.
Might order that now.
Sucks to pay 50 USD extra... but

You use a VGA connector on your dvi slot?
What did it cost for you,and which did you buy?

Quez you can easily get an DVi to VGA converter. I am using one infact right now on my computer.

really any vgs/dvi should work with 360, as with anything else. Never had to do it before, but i do find it odd your HDTV doesn' t have component, i would have thought they all had it.

It has,but only for 3 slots.
And it came with a Dvi component that can be put into cameras with a blu-green and some other color thing.

It' s just hilarious man :)

How do you buy your equipment man? You didn' t even check if it will work with 360?

O M G

It' s not that bad since you can get this DVI adapter , but it' s so utterly dumb of you to get it without even checking...

I don' t mean to laugh at you though - it just amazing how some people do shopping.
