Connect to a Digital Audio Optical AV System (Optional)
If your system (typically, a receiver or
amplifier) supports digital audio input, you can
connect to digital audio rather than to the
standard left and right audio. Digital audio
should produce higher-quality sound.
To connect to digital audio:
Connect your video input as described
1
before.
Connect your digital audio cable (not
2
included) to the digital audio output on your
AV cable and to the digital audio input on
your receiver.
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.

NOTE
After you've set up your Xbox 360 console,
you can configure additional console audio
settings and test your connection from the
System area of the Xbox Dashboard. Before
doing so, proceed through the steps in the
following pages for connecting to power,
connecting your controller and other initial
settings.
• 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.
To avoid damaging the power cords and power supply:
• Do not wrap power cords around the
power supply.
• Protect the power cords from being
walked on.
• Protect cords from being pinched or
sharply bent, particularly where they
connect to the power outlet, the power
supply unit, and the console.
• Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or
otherwise abuse the power cords.
• Do not expose the power cords to
sources of heat.
• Keep children and pets away from the
power cords. Do not allow them to bite or
chew on them.
• When disconnecting the power cords,
pull on the plug—do not pull on the cord.
• Do not let the power supply hang from
either power cord.
If a power cord or power supply becomes
damaged in any way, stop using it
immediately and contact Xbox Customer
Support for a replacement.
Unplug your Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
Always connect the power cords according
to the following instructions:
1
Fully insert the power supply cord into
the Xbox 360 console until it clicks.
Plug the AC power cord into the power
2
supply until it stops.
Plug the other end of the AC power cord
3
into the wall outlet.
