SET UP YOUR XBOX 360 VIDEO GAME SYSTEM CONNECT THE CONSOLE TO POWER english english IMPORTANT Stationary images in video games can "burn" into some TV screens, creating a permanent shadow. Consult your TV owner's manual or manufacturer before playing games. Connect the Composite AV Cable To connect your Xbox 360 console to a TV with standard, composite input: 1 Connect the Xbox 360 Composite AV Cable connector to the AV port on the Xbox 360 console. 2 Connect the color-coded connectors to the corresponding jacks on the TV: yellow to yellow (video), red to red (right audio), and white to white (left audio). NOTE For monaural TVs, which have only one audio jack, connect either the right or left audio connector to the audio jack. 3 Select the appropriate video input on your TV (see "No Picture" under "Troubleshooting"). Other AV Input You can also connect to additional TV input types by using the Xbox 360 Component HD AV cable, the Xbox 360 S-Video AV Cable, or the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable (all sold separately). For more information, go to www. xbox.com/hardware. Connect to a Digital Audio Optical AV System (Optional) If you have an audio system (typically, a receiver or amplifier) that supports digital audio input, you can connect to digital audio rather than to the standard left and right audio by using the Xbox 360 Component HD AV cable, the Xbox 360 S-Video cable, or the Xbox 360 VGA video cable (all sold separately). Digital audio should produce higher-quality sound. Follow the AV cable instructions for connecting digital audio. 4 Electrical Safety As with many other electrical devices, failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock or fire or damage to the Xbox 360 video game system. Select an appropriate power source for your Xbox 360 console: • Use only the power supply unit and AC power cord that came with your console or that you received from an authorized repair center. If you are not sure if you have the correct power supply unit, compare the model number on the power supply unit with the model number specified on your console. If you need a replacement power supply unit or AC power cord, contact Xbox Customer Support. • Confirm that your electrical outlet provides the type of power indicated on the power supply unit (in terms of voltage [V] and frequency [Hz]). If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult a qualified electrician. • Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall outlet. • Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip, or other electrical receptacle. Confirm that they are rated to handle the total current (in amps [A]) drawn by the Xbox 360 console (indicated on the power supply unit) and any other devices that are on the same circuit. • Use a properly grounded electrical outlet that accommodates the three-prong grounding plug. Do not remove the grounding prong. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet. 5
