THE DIRECTOR Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 jsut found this, If you ever have to reset the display resolution/aspect ratio settings on an Xbox 360, and only have a VGA cable and monitor to do it with, you may find yourself in a bit of a quandary, as the monitor may not display the Xbox 360 menu, making it very difficult indeed to reset the display settings! Never fear. Here's the sequence of controller presses to reset the VGA settings to standard aspect ratio, 640 x 480, which should work on almost any monitor. You will want sound for this, it will make things easier. Once the Xbox 360 boots up: * HOLD D-Pad RIGHT until blade selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds (You are now at System Blade) * HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds * PRESS A (You are now in Console Settings) * HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds * PRESS A (You are now in Display) * HOLD D-Pad DOWN until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds * PRESS A (You are now in Screen Format - If you get a "bonk" sound, skip next 2 steps) * HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds * PRESS A (You have just selected NORMAL Screen Format and have returned to Display) * HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds * PRESS A (You are now in Screen Resolution) * HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds * PRESS A (You have just selected 640 x 480) will have to try when i come back from film city. will let u guys know how things turn out. thanks guys and sorry for all the headaches. i think its gonna work, so fingers crossed.

nasty2857068 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 btw is the microsoft certified hdmi av cable any good ??? becoz av is an analog signal how the hell can it go digital over an av interface ??? yaar i didnt know where to post this so because this is a cable thread so i posted it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinitwins Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 umm not sure i understand what you mean filly. hdmi is a digital interface - only the newer premiums, halo editions and the elites sport this interface - the cable quality doesnt matter too much (when compared to VGA or composite and component) as the signal is digital.

MarketTantrik Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 btw is the microsoft certified hdmi av cable any good ??? becoz av is an analog signal how the hell can it go digital over an av interface ??? Consoles output AV in digital formats. So HDMI will give you the truest output quality. In fact consoles covert the digital from the onboard gfx and sound processors to analog before transmitting the signals to the TV over composite / component cables.

vinitwins Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 DAC - digital to analog conversion (and conversely ADC - analog to digital conversion) for composite/component/vga output (i.e. all analog interfaces) DAC takes place and it can affect the video quality...

vinitwins Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 nope - why dont you buy a VGA cable - it outputs 1080p (only drawback is that it's an analog signal, so there will be some image degradation WHEN compared to HDMI/DVI) V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get one composite cable with the console (atleast the ntsc-j ones). Useless! You will have to buy either a DVI - HDMI cable or a DVI/HDMI adapter + HDMI cable.
