X BOX help

[CopGn]

I bought my kid an XBOX. His TV only has 2 A/V inputs and X BOX requires 3 inputs. I couldn't get it to work on his TV but worked fine on my TV with 3 inputs. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I can do to get it to work?

i'm pretty sure the extra plug is for stereo and unnecessary

u most likely do not have the red plug right? if its that then just leave it unplugged and dont worry about it all its for is right channel sound but its not that bad without it trust me

I tried that and can't get it to work. Plugged in the yellow and white but it didn't work. The X Box is not broken as it works on my tv. Any other thoughts. I guess the TV is broken. And thank you.

Make sure your Son's TV doesn't have to be on a special channel. I know some have channel 00 as the input channel. Others, like my TV have to have it selected with the remote control.

My television has to be changed to a video input mode. Just turning it to channel 3 doesn't do it.

go to radio shack...

they sell an adaptor that takes both plugs and combines them!

i had to do this with my playstation 1 way back in the day and it worked fine afterwards!

good luck!

Audio/video switcher

Your other choice would to be to get an audio/video switcher.

They are a box that takes the three inputs (video, audio L, and audio R) and switches them to a single coax cable so you can just plug into the antenna signal in. These boxes run around $25-$35 and you should be able to get them at any radio shack, TV store, or electronics store. They are basically for using an old TV with new stuff like a DVD player and stuff. Also, for all you X-Box fans, you should check out xbox-scene.com if you haven't already...
