Playing audio from
an Xbox 360™
games console
The Xbox 360™ can output analogue or digital
audio only via its AV port and one of the AV Cable
options. The digital option is preferred for its
potentially higher quality and simpler cabling. The
proprietary console plug of all the AV cable options
incorporates an optical digital (TOSLINK™) output
socket. The two RCA audio plugs at the other
end of the AV cable (coloured red and white and
grouped separately) should be left unused.
Zeppelin cannot reproduce Dolby Digital
or DTS encoded material so the Xbox 360™
must be configured in the System area of
its Dashboard to output stereo digital PCM
format audio.
To connect to the Xbox 360™ Component AV
HD Cable digital optical socket you will need a
cable with a TOSLINK™ plug at one end and an
optical mini jack at the other.
The AV Cable TOSLINK™ socket may have a
blanking plug fitted. This must be removed before
connecting the cable but should be retained to pro-
tect the end of the optical fibre should you discon-
nect the cable. Connect the TOSLINK™ end of the
cable to the Component AV HD Cable socket and
the optical mini jack to the Zeppelin AUX input.
The Xbox 360™ output will be at a fixed level so
volume is managed by Zeppelin's own controls.
If the Xbox 360™ is simultaneously connected to
a TV by an HDMI connector it may be necessary to
switch off the TV audio when Zeppelin is in use by
selecting "mute" from the TV remote handset.
