If you're using the XBox 360 component/compositve AV cable, try the switch at the base of the cable to switch from HD to SD or vise versa. If that doesn't work, try MS's official reset instructions:

To reset your display settings, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure there's no disc in the disc tray.
  2. Turn off the console.
  3. Turn on the console.
    4. Note If you're using an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, make sure only one wireless controller is connected to the console, and then turn off and restart the console by using the Guide button on that controller.
  4. As the console starts, press and hold Y while pulling the right trigger on the controller. The display settings are reset to the default settings, and then the console automatically restarts.
    Xbox 360 E or Xbox 360 S console: To reset display setting on these console models, you can also just turn off the console and then hold the power button on the front of the console down for about 10 seconds. (The lights will flash several times.)

Is their a reset switch on the xbox 360 slim console 250g one?
For a Factory Reset, you just need to format your hard drive.
To do this, simply go to this site: http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-360/accessories/storage
Scroll down to the "Format a storage device" section and follow the steps there. This section also shows you where you can find your serial number, which is sometimes needed to complete the format.

How to change the display resolution for your TV on your Xbox One...
Also make sure the TV is on and set to the correct HDMI input before using the Blu Ray.
It is also possible the TV does not support HDCP, if not, it will not work with the XBOX one Blu Ray. You may be able to use the Component (Red Green and Blue) cable though.

Tv turns off while on playing tony hawke skateboard
It's more than likely an electronic overload, thereby, popping a fuse that resets itself. Try seeing if the TV gets hot. Hotter than usual. Also try the console heat.

Problem with my LG TV and my XBOX360 , there no picture and sound when i connect my xbox with hd cable.
Try different AV ports on the TV, if it doesn't work press the right trigger + Y, right after the console starts (this will reset the resolution of the console output) I'm assuming you are using the same cable that worked with another TV, so neither the cable is broken, neither the Xbox. It can only be an output format problem, bad configured or a faulty TV.

How do I get my xbox information to go back to english and reset my settings?

To set or change the default language on your Xbox 360 console

  1. Turn on your Xbox 360 console without a disc in the disc tray.
  2. On the controller, press the Guide button to go to the Xbox Dashboard.

  3. Select Language, and then select the language you want to use.

    Then format the hard drive to reset EVERYTHING. This will erase all data and reset all settings.

    To format a storage device

    1. Start your Xbox 360 console without a disc in the tray.
    2. On your console, go to My Xbox, and then select System Settings.
    3. Select Memory.
    4. Highlight the storage device that you want to format, and then press the Y button on your controller.
    5. Select Format.
    6. You receive the following message: This will delete all content on this device. Do you want to continue?Choose Yes to format the storage device.
    7. If you are asked to enter your console serial number, enter your number, and then select Done. This step helps guard against accidental formatting.

      The console serial number is located on the back of the console and behind the oval door on the front of your console.

Well I was trying to hook up my xbox to the hdmi port and the tv said invalid format so I went to the setting to see I could reformat the tv but now I cant even get the tv channels to come up. how do I fix...
The HDMI port will only accept 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p out of the XBOX. If the XBOX is set to 480i the TV will see it as an invalid format.

The formats that Xbox 360 supports include: MP4, M4V, MP4V, and MOV. So all you need to do is find a proper Blu-ray ripper that can help you convert Blu-ray to MP4 or other supported formats.
Here's one that's been getting positive reviews from users: Leawo Blu-ray Ripper.
It supports a lot of different formats, including the 4 formats that the Xbox 360 supports.
