Sensor Motors don't adjust Sensor
Viewing angle
• Make sure cables are connected and the
sensor light is on. When used with an
original Xbox 360 console, the sensor
must be connected to the back USB port,
not a front USB port, and the USB/power
cable must be connected to a power
outlet.
• Make sure the sensor's motion isn't
blocked by anything.
• Don't tilt your sensor on its base or adjust
the sensor viewing angle by hand. Let the
sensor motors adjust the viewing angle
automatically, or you risk damaging your
sensor.
Game, Movie, or Music doesn't Start
Play only supported discs (Xbox 360 games,
audio CDs, and DVD movies). Clean the disc.
Insert the disc fully and close the disc tray. To
bypass the Xbox Dashboard and start discs
automatically, change the startup console
system setting.
disc doesn't eject
Disconnect your console from power and
position it horizontally. Insert a straightened
paper clip into the round hole on the left side of
the console, near the front, between the
ventilation slats. The tray will eject slightly, and
you can pull the tray all the way out by hand.
Power Light Flashes
The console power button should glow solid
green while the console is on and flash when
you press the eject button. If it flashes
differently during operation, follow these steps:
• Flashes red: The console is too hot and
will not play games until cooled down.
Place the console in a well-ventilated area
away from other heat sources. Once it
cools, the flashing will stop and the
console can be played. For more
information, see "Position Your Xbox."
• Solid red: Follow the instructions on the
screen to correct the problem.
• Solid red, no on-screen instructions:
Internal problem that requires service.
Visit www.xbox.com/support to request
service.
Wireless Controller doesn't Work
Press the Xbox Guide button to turn on the
wireless controller, then connect it to your
console (see "Connect Additional
Controllers").
If lights spin longer than 15 seconds when
connecting:
• Move the controller closer to the console.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh.
• Keep the console and controller at least
three feet away from large metal objects,
such as file cabinets and refrigerators.
• Metallic decorations or stickers on the
console or controller can interfere with
wireless controller performance. Remove
decorations and try connecting again.
• Make sure the front of the console is
positioned in the direction of the
controller and away from nearby walls.
• Cordless phones (2.4 GHz), wireless LANs,
wireless video transmitters, microwave
ovens, some mobile/cell phones, and
Bluetooth headsets can interfere with the
operation of the controller. Turn these off
or unplug them and retry connecting.
• If nothing else works, turn off your
console, remove and reinsert the batteries
into the controller, then reconnect the
controller to the console.
