Connect The Console To Power; Electrical Safety - Microsoft Xbox 360 Setup Manual

SET UP YOUR XBOX 360 VIDEO GAME SYSTEM
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:
Connect the Xbox 360 Composite AV Cable
1
connector to the AV port on the Xbox 360
console.
Connect the color-coded connectors to the
2
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").
4
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.

CONNECT THE CONSOLE TO POWER

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.
