This is gudie to set up your Xbox 360 and play a game in HDMI and Standard
Hi there this a is a setup for connecting a Xbox 360 to a T.V and setting up a game.
As you can see there are some weird looking cables but this tutorial should help you become a tech genius.
The tutorial is preformed in a step by step guide and problems leave a comment below this tutorial.
Step.1 Cable Understanding.
As you can see there are a lot of cable with your Xbox 360. Some you may have seen before and some may be brand new. In this step you will learn how to recognise cables this should allow you connect up in the future without looking a guide.
There are several cables but the one that may recognise is the Red , White ,Yellow cable.
This is called a AV cable well the correct name is a Male AV cable. Now you may notice there’s a split and there a Red, White and Yellow section and a Red, Green and Blue section this side is irrelevant.
Another cable that may catch you eye is the cable with gold tips (Gold leaf paint not real). This cable looks useless but if your T.V as a HDMI cable socket then this cable will enhance your gaming experience. ( See T.V manual for further use on HDMI).
The next two cables are extremely important they contain the power source to your Xbox 360.
The first thing you see is the Box with a cable at one end. This is important is the is a AC adapter this allows your power cable to produce power for the xbox360. As you can see they will take up space but it can be hidden away quite well. Now to make it easier I shall call them Cable 1 and Cable 2.
Stage 2 The Power Setup.
Now if you have not done so create a space for your Xbox 360 now we take the Uk plug and place it into a reliable power source. Now as you can see on the AC adapter there is socket at one end attach the one end of cable 1 to the Ac adpter this should fit with relative easy ( Dont force it ).
Once this cable is plugged in it is safe to power on the plug as you can see the there I light on the Ac Adapter is this is on the setup is correct if not go back to the start and work through it.
Now to connect the cable to the Xbox 360 first you start by inputting the Ac adperter cable to into the back of the 360 as shown above. Now Cable 2 as you can see has an end similar to cable except as you can tell this attaches to the Xbox 360. Now attach this to your Xbox 360 hit the power bottom located on the front of the Xbox 360.
If the green light turns on at the front the congratulations you have successfully completed the Power on stage. If not don’t worry just go back and have a read through common problems are you haven’t put the cable 1 in far enough or the Plug is not turned on.
(If you have a HDMI TV the skip to the next stage.))
Stage 3 .
This is where you’re Xbox 360 starts to become alive I start with the AV cables remember those the Red, White , Yellow. Shown below. Now At the back of you’re Xbox 360 you will see a part where the Main part of the cable slots in Shown Below.
Now the main connecting the console to the TV.
First find the Red White and Yellow sockets on the back or front of your TV. ( Tip if your TV is a little older and you can’t find this look for a scart adapter in your 360) Then plug your AV cable in to the designated sockets so Red to Red and White to White Yellow to Yellow.
The reason they must be put into the correct sockets is the Yellow is the Video so yellow is like the primary one with out the yellow you would have no picture, and with no picture there’s no gaming.
Next you see the Red, and White these are important that there in the right order Because Red is right audio so the red allows sound to come out of the right and white is the left so it works with the left speaker. A way to remember this is Red so R for right.
If you don’t have a HDMI socket or cable please move on the Stage 5.
Stage 4
Now the main part of the Xbox 360 is there Graphics and what better way than to display them on a HDMI screen the nothing better. So why should don’t I use the basic one. Well HDMI allow your console to display pictures at a higher pixel rate where as component is lower this means the picture is weaker and the image is not a sharp.
To start find the HDMI socket located below the AV cable socket and find the one on the back you’re TV there should be two or Three on all standard TVs. Now once both are connected success fully. Power on the xbox I the picture is not found automatically you made need to hit the input or AV button on your TV remote.
Stage 5
Now find the game you want to play and hit the open disc tray button on your Xbox 360 in it is not turned on this should do it automatically. Now we will need to connect a controller up this is important as you kind of need one to play the Xbox 360. As you may see there is a little Button on the Xbox 360 front. And if you look at the back of the Xbox 360 controller you will see a button the exactly same as it. Now hit both buttons simultaneously and the Xbox 360 should have the lights beginning to spin as well as the controller. Now hit the Xbox 360 logo found on the controller in the middle of it and Both the Controller and Xbox 360 should begin to flash let go and it should move to one light on solid and one light on solid on the controller. If done correctly the you should now have control. If not restart this stage and check you’re batteries are in on the controller.
Stage 6.
Now to get the game to work first you must have the disc in the console to do this open the turn a sit the game with the picture facing towards you . So the base is facing the memory card slots shown in stage 5 Start. Now using the controller you found set up in Stage 5. The game once in should Start up automatically.
Common Problems I have found that if you play you’re Xbox 360 to much you can over heat it is so leave it to cool down or move it to a more ventilated area.
Thank you for reading I hope you enjoy this tutorial and have fun on your Xbox 360.
