XBox 360 HD help please...

[badazzar15]

Ok I'm at my girl's house trying to get the HD hooked up correctly with my 360. She has a 52" HD Sony.

So standard definition widescreen works just fine...however when I switch to HD the screen turns to blue/green static.

I've tried all the different inputs but same result. I'm using component cables.

Thanks in advance

Did you change the switch on the XBOX360 cables from standard to HDTV?
Did you then change the setting in the dashboard to 720P/1080i/1080p?
are you changing it to a setting the TV doesn't/may not support? (1080p?)

Thanks for the reply. A few minutes after I posted the thread, I found out what the issue was. Her TV is only 1080i, and it was somehow set on 1080p. Anyways, works now and picture looks great!

Thanks Boomer

No problem man.

I know some of the older TVs support only 720p/1080i and not 1080p
I had a rear projection Panasonic like that.

Enjoy

Not true

rgb and component are two deifferent types and they can both do 1080p

for all intents and purposes no....will the cable handle 1080p? yes.

two problems, AACS will only allow 1080i over analog connections and finding a tv that will support 1080p over component is next to impossible. thats why the industry standard is up to 1080i over component.

now sony or microsoft could encode their devices to allow 1080p over component, but that would mean extra internal encoders/decoders which would be pointless.

and i worded it wrong...i didnt mean component cables, i meant component connections on tv's...which are rca...rca has a huge bandwidth drop after 100mhz....1080p needs at least 124.4mhz...bnc connectors support up to 3ghz and would support 1080p over component but you wont find a consumer tv with bnc connectors

thats what i meant about its rare....you typically have to have some weird random combo

i dont think we are discussing this for you anymore , its for anyone else in the future who is smart enough to use the search button but not smart enough to go to an xbox 360 forum.

yeah you can but 1080p though component.

BUT some TV will not a allow it.

So when i do pre-wires on jobs ( I'm an audio/video installers ) I always find out what kind of tv they have. Make a big difference weather you run component or HDMI. Latly i have been just doing both.

Glad you got ur xbox working thought, i had the same problem when i first got mine too

i must be hard to understand or something

hd dvd player obsolete
samsung dlp obsolete
westinghouse tv....cheap pos
single model of sharp, rare

you arent just going to walk into a retail store grab some items, run back home and get 1080p over component.

heck, back when those things werent obsolete outta the 80 models a retail store carries...1-2 models is "rare"
