Smoke and dust can damage the console, particularly the DVD drive. Set Up Your Xbox 360 Video Game System
Connect the Component HD AV Cable 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. To connect your Xbox 360 console to a TV with standard, composite input: 1. Connect the component HD AV cable connector to the AV port on the console. 2. Set the switch on the AV port connector to regular TV. 3. Connect the color-coded connectors to the corresponding jacks on the TV: yellow to yellow (video), red to red (right audio), and white to white (left audio). NOTE For monaural (mono) TVs, which have only one audio jack, connect either the right or left audio connector to the audio jack. 4. Select the appropriate video input on your TV (see "No Picture" under "Troubleshooting" on page ?? for further information). NOTE Your Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable has two distinct sets of connectors on the TV end grouped by audio and video. Do not confuse the red connector from the audio group with the red connector from the video group. To connect your Xbox 360 console to a TV with component input:
1. Connect the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable connector to the AV port on the console. 2. Set the switch on the AV port connector to regular TV or HDTV. The HDTV position should be selected if your TV supports high definition resolutions such as 480p, 720p, or 1080i. 3. Connect the color-coded connectors in the video group to the corresponding jacks on the TV: red to red (red video), green to green (green video), and blue to blue (blue video). 4. Connect the color-coded connectors in the audio group to the corresponding jacks on the TV: red to red (right audio) and white to white (left audio). 5. Select the appropriate video input on your TV (see "No Picture" under "Troubleshooting" on page ?? for further information). See the Xbox 360 Warranty Manual (Volume 2) for information regarding static images and certain types of TVs. Other AV Input You can also connect to additional TV input types by using the Xbox 360 S-Video AV Cable or the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable (both sold separately). For more information, go to www.xbox.com/hardware. 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: 1. Connect your video input as described before. 2. Connect your digital audio cable (not included) to the digital audio output on your AV cable and to the digital audio input on your receiver. After you've set up your 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.
Connect the Console to Power WARNING 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 and entertainment 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. 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. • Do not wrap power cords around the power supply unit. • 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. Only use the power supply and AC power cords supplied with your console or received from an authorized repair center. Unplug your Xbox 360 console 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. 2. Plug the AC power cord into the power supply until it stops. 3. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into the wall outlet. The Xbox 360 Button All controllers and remotes for your Xbox 360 video game system feature an Xbox Guide Button. Press the Xbox Guide Button to show the Xbox Guide at any time. The Ring of Light The Xbox Guide Button on the controller and the power button on the console are both surrounded by the Ring of Light, which is composed of four quadrants. When a controller is connected to your console, it is assigned a quadrant, which glows green to indicate the controller's position. As more controllers are added, each quadrant of the console glows green to reflect the added controller's position. The Ring of Light on the console will flash combinations of red if there are system problems. See "Troubleshooting" on page ?? for more details. Prepare the Wireless Controller for Use Insert Batteries The wireless controller uses disposable batteries or the Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack (sold separately). If you plan to use disposable batteries, you should familiarize yourself with the "Disposable Battery Safety" section that follows. Disposable Battery Safety WARNING Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Released battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic.

Important Health Warnings About Playing Video Games Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: • Sit farther from the TV screen. • Use a smaller TV screen. • Play in a well-lit room. • Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. Musculoskeletal Disorders Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other electronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When playing video games, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not playing a video game. Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and other conditions. While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including medical and physical conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses their body during work and other activities (including playing a video game). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work and play more comfortably and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the Healthy Gaming Guide at www.xbox.com). These guidelines address topics such as: • Positioning yourself to use comfortable, not awkward, postures. • Keeping your hands, fingers, and other body parts relaxed. • Taking breaks. • Developing a healthy lifestyle. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.
