SUMMARY
This article describes how to connect the Xbox 360 console by using the Xbox 360 Composite AV Cable.



MORE INFORMATION
 Turn off the TV, and then turn off the Xbox console. Connect the AV connector to the AV port on the Xbox console. Connect the color-coded connectors on the Composite AV Cable to the corresponding ports on the TV. Connect yellow to yellow for composite video, red to red for right-channel analog audio, and white to white for left-channel analog audio. The AV ports on the television may be located on the front or on back of the TV.

Note Monaural (mono) TVs have only one audio jack. For a mono TV, connect either the right (red) or left (white) audio connector to the audio port of the TV.

Note If you use the SCART adapter together with this cable, make sure that the connectors are connected to the correct color-coded ports on the adapter, and then plug the cable and the adapter into an available SCART connection port. SCART connectors are primarily used in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Select the appropriate video input on your television to display Xbox games. The following list contains common names for video inputs jacks:  Input select AUX Line In</li> Input</li> Source</li> Video 1</li> EXT</li></ul>

The names of the input jacks that are used by different TV manufacturers vary. See your TV owner's manual for more information.</li></ol>
