SUMMARY
This article describes how to connect the Xbox 360 S-Video AV Cable to an Xbox 360 console.



To connect to TV and audio
 Turn off your console. Connect the AV connector on the S-video cable to the AV port on your console. Connect the S-video connector on the S-video cable to the S-video input on your TV. Leave the yellow composite video connector unconnected. Connect the left and right (white and red) audio connectors on the S-video cable to the audio input on your TV, receiver, or amplified speaker system.

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

 Turn on your console. From the System section, you can change your display settings. Select the appropriate screen size and resolution for your TV.

If the system has digital audio input, you can connect to digital audio instead of to the standard left and right audio inputs. Digital audio input should produce higher-quality sound. Typically, the system is a receiver or an amplifier.

To connect your console to digital audio
 Connect the S-Video AV cable as described in steps 1 through 3 in the &quot;To connect to TV and audio&quot; section.</li> Connect your digital audio cable to the digital audio input on your receiver or TV and the digital audio output on the console end of the S-Video AV cable connector.

Note The digital audio cable is not included with the Xbox video game system.

</li> Turn on your console.</li> From the System section, you can change your audio and digital output settings. Select the appropriate digital audio setting for the system.</li></ol>

Important Stationary images in video games can “burn” into some television screens, creating a permanent shadow. See your television’s owner's manual or manufacturer before you play games.
