I've looked around a little online but I'm not sure I know what I'm looking for.

I have a pre-HDMI XBOX360 that I now have set up on a TV with a Denon receiver that runs the home theater. The receiver only has inputs for HDMI so I am hoping to find a way to take the Component (YPbPr) cable and the R&L stereo and convert it to HDMI so I can plug it into the receiver and be able to to play XBOX with video and audio running through the receiver. Right now I have to have it plugged directly into the TV and then just play through the TV speakers.

Thoughts and suggestions welcomed.

 

get new ex-box.

 

Don't want to spend that much $$$

 

i searched for component to hdmi converters and found a whole bunch of converter boxes.



for example:

 

Does xbox have optical audio output? If so run that to the receiver and keep the video connected to the TV.

 

Hmm.. that might be the simple answer. I could buy a simple (and very cheap) stereo RCA to optical adapter and run it that way.

 

You should have this or similar



You won't convert analog component with RCA audio to digital HDMI.

PS Used and Certified Xbox in GameStop is only $130

 

So I could understand the receiver not having component input, but it really has no standard L/R audio input? That would mean no support for VCRs, audio cassette, and DVD/CD players.

 

by a new xbox

 

I'm going to try and run the video direct to the TV and just get a RCA audio extension cable to run to the receiver aux input. Hopefully there won't be any audio delay problems. If there is maybe I'll get a new XBOX...

 

use the optical out adapter for the 360 and run te component to the TV. what receiver do you hvae that only has HDMI?

360 adapter you need

 

Yeah, I bought a new XBOX...
