ST A/V Club tech question

Posted by znufrii Nov 12 '08, 08:15

how would I incorporate an XBox 360 into this surround-sound set-up? Current TV has two composite inputs...

Responses:

Well, at the risk of sounding redundant... What Beryllium said. Otherwise... - Mop Nov 12, 08:29
you have a surround sound tuner/amp? -- nm - colin Nov 12, 08:17 1
- see link below for the equipment I'm considering -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:18
Easy answer: Upgrade to a TV and head unit that accepts HDMI -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 08:17 1
- tempting, for sure... -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:17
bah, link -- (link) - znufrii Nov 12, 08:17 12
- here is what you would need to do assuming hd tv - decline Nov 12, 08:20 1
  - unfortunately, unless I go crazy and upgrade the TV as well (tempting) I'm stuck with old school... -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:24
- Run a digital coax audio cable into the receiver and you'll have to be stuck with composite to the tv. -- nm - Shaun Nov 12, 08:20 3
  - that's kinda what I figured. thanks! -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:23 2
    - But a newer tv would make for some nicer options. Even if it had component inputs. -- nm - Shaun Nov 12, 08:25 1
      - on the other hand, might create redundancies in a potential future living situation... - znufrii Nov 12, 08:26
- You can buy video output cables for the XBox to output in any format you need, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 08:19
- ooh.. the tuner itself has a bunch of switchable inputs.. just put all your stuff in and switch sources with your tuner instead of your tv. - colin Nov 12, 08:19 4
  - Would I be able to patch the video from the XBox through it as well? is my primary question - znufrii Nov 12, 08:22 3
    - oh, no you wouldn't. on that model it has to go directly to the TV.. - colin Nov 12, 08:28
    - the inputs on that piece suck. I would look for something else if I were you -- nm - decline Nov 12, 08:24
    - (or would the video have to go directly to the tv?) -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 08:23
