Microsoft Xbox 360 Console Logo
Posted on Nov 30, 2010

Ok, this is a strange one. There are 2 xbox 360's in the house. (My mates and my own) There are 3 HDTV's in the house. He told me that his is not working on one of the tv's. So I tried his xbox on my own tv, still didn't work. So then I tried my Xbox on the TV where his didn't work at the start. Mine Didn't work! So something is wrong here. I put my Xbox back to it's original TV and now it won't work either. but this is the kicker... both work on the third tv! The crazy thing is that my xbox worked on my tv a few minutes ago. Now after trying it one tv, it won't work on the other. NOTE: scart leads work on all Xbox's. So I'm asking you. why would it only work one some tv's? and better yet, why would it work on one tv and then not work just a few minutes later?? but both still work on the 3rd TV!! I know that it may be a lot to handle, but any help would be appricated. TV1 = Neither work TV2 = Neither work (but one did just a few minutes earlier) TV3 = BOTH WORK!!

How old are the not working t.v's? Maybe it's the plugs in the tv's, not the cable or x box's. Do other things go when you plug them in?

How do I hook up Xbox 360 to the HDTV

Step 1:

Connect the audio/video input of the component cable into the "A/V" port located on the back of the xbox 360


Step 2:

Match the red, blue and green cables on the other end of the component cable to the corresponding component ports on your HDTV. If your HDTV has more than one set of component inputs, make note of which one you use.



Step 3:

Slide the switch on the component cable to "HDTV."



Step 4:

Turn on your HDTV. Set the video mode to the component port that will be used. HDTVs with multiple component ports will usually be labeled "Component 1," "Component 2" and so on


Step 5:

Turn on the Xbox 360. Go to "My Xbox." Select "System Settings" then "Console Settings" then "Display" and then "HDTV Settings." Choose the display setting (720p, 1080i and 1080p) that is best compatible with your HDTV. If you're not sure, try them all until you find the one that looks best.



Step 6:

Disconnect any previously connected A/V or component cables.



Step 7:

Connect the HDMI AV cable connector to the "HDMI AV" port on the Xbox 360.



Step 8:

Connect the other end to an available HDMI port on your HDTV. If your HDTV has more than one HDMI input, make note of which one you use.



Step 9:

Turn on your HDTV. Set the video mode to the HDMI port that will be used. HDTVs with multiple component ports will usually label them "HDMI 1," "HDMI 2" and so on.



Step 10:

Turn on the Xbox 360. Go to "My Xbox." Select "System Settings" then "Console Settings" then "Display" and then "HDTV Settings." Pick the display setting (720p, 1080i and 1080p) that looks best on your HDTV.

Stream AVCHD videos to Xbox 360 via DLNA-AVCHD to Xbox Converter

Xbox DLNA-AVCHD MTS/M2TS to Xbox 360 support formats on Windows 7 <br /><br />Generally, I have my video to be kept in a D-Link NAS box, so that I can watch them on Xbox. The NAS is quite old, and I will buy a home server similar to the HP models one day. Xbox has a "Windows Media Center" window in the dashboard view, and <b><a href="http://dts-ac3-converter.com/2011/07/stream-avchd-videos-to-xbox-360-via-dlna-avchd-to-xbox-converter/">Xbox Streams videos from NAS via DLNA for HDTV</a></b>. <br /><br />However, the AVCHD files from my Sony DSC-TX100V could not read by Xbox. While looking for the solution to <b><a href="http://www.aunsoft.com/final-mate/">stream AVCHD videos to Xbox</a></b>, I find Aunsoft Final Mate as the recommended AVCHD video converter and joiner with best quality. After dealing the AVCHD files with Final Mate on Windows 7 Premium, I can share the videos using Windows Media Center software for streaming. <br /><br />Below is just a simple guide with AVCHD to Xbox supported format. <br /><br /><b>Step 1. Import AVCHD videos to Final Mate.</b> <br />Run Final Mate as the <b><a href="http://www.aunsoft.com/final-mate/">best AVCHD to Xbox converter</a></b>, and click the Add file path button on Resource tab to browse the folder with .mts or .m2ts files on PC hard drive. For videos from camera, just connect camera to PC via USB cable, and follow the pop-up wizard to import videos. <br /><br /><b>Step 2. Select and join AVCHD files for output.</b> <br />Select the clips on Resource tab or Camcorder tab, drag and drop to the Movies tab. You can create a movie for each file or a movie with several files with conversion. For another movie, just click the Create New Movie button. <br /> <br /><b>Step 3. Choose Xbox format.</b> <br />Click the icon next to the Movie name in the Movies tab, you will see the format options. Move to the Device group, find Zune/Xbox 360 Device and choose Zune Xbox 360 - Windows Media Video(*.wmv) as output format. <br /><br />Click Export button, and the conversion from <b><a href="http://www.aunsoft.com/final-mate/">AVCHD to Xbox 360 support format</a></b> will start right away. Wait for a while, and put the videos to the video folder for sharing. Xbox 360 then can stream videos from the NAS via DLNA.

RED lights flashing

This is going to sound like a very strange solution, but it worked for me, twice. My xbox 360 gave me the red ring of death once, and in my despair I asked a few friends about anything they can think of, and one suggested letting it run for 10 minutes while wrapped in a towel, or blanket. By that point I was desperate enough to try it (I had bought a refurbished one, so it wasn't under warranty anymore), and lo and behold, my xbox 360 is as good as new. Basically what you're doing is shocking the system into working via overheating... I know that doesn't make much sense, but, like I said before, it worked twice for me. Hope this helps!
