XBox Advanced A/V cables
I have a fairly nice surround sound speaker setup in my room and I'd like to be able to hook up my XBox to it.
I think I need the Advanced AV cables for the XBox, but I'm not entirely sure. If I do, is there anything else I'd need? My options for plugging in to my surround sound controller are Digital Coax or Digital Optical. Quote:
I don't have a TV that supports the s-video input, will I still be able to use the regular TV inputs with my XBox while using the optical digital input? |
You're going to have to convert that S-video to composite video.
here's a simple female/female plug to convert it. http://www.cablestogo.com/product.as...=102&sku=13043 I don't know how good it works and it'll probably hurt the video quality some but that's the best I can come up with. Also, Optical audio cables probably don't come with the advanced xbox cables so make sure you check before you leave the store.. |
I have a cable for Xbox that has both Component video cables, as well as the standard (yellow for video, red & white for audio). The cable as an extra slot near the end for plugging in an optical audio cable. I got it from a friend after he sold his Xbox, so I don't know where it came from.
I am actually giving this to a friend since I have a 360 now, but I kept the optical audio cable, because it works with the 360's hook up too. |
I have the Advanced AV-Pack (not the HD pack) and you can use your regular composite (yellow) cable with it without using the S-Video input.
BUT if your TV does have an S-Video input, use that, the video quality takes a HUGE jump up from composite. |
