WARNING

[IMAGE: alert.jpg ]
Failure to properly set up, use, and care for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system can increase the risk of serious injury or death,
or damage to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. Read this manual and the manuals of any accessories for important safety and
health information. Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement manuals, go to www.xbox.com/support.
Before allowing children to use the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system:

1 Determine how each child can use the Xbox 360 console (playing games, connecting to Xbox LIVE, replacing batteries, making electrical, AV

cable, and network connections) and whether they should be supervised during these activities.

2 If you allow children to use the Xbox 360 console without supervision, be sure to explain all relevant safety and health information and

instructions.
The Xbox 360 console will not play copied or “pirated” games or other unauthorized media. Attempting to defeat the Xbox 360 anti-piracy
protection system may cause your Xbox 360 console to stop working permanently. It will also void your Limited Warranty, and may make your
Xbox 360 console ineligible for authorized repair, even for a fee.

BY USING YOUR XBOX 360 YOU AGREE TO THE WARRANTY IN THIS MANUAL. BEFORE SETTING UP YOUR XBOX 360,
PLEASE READ THIS
WARRANTY CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS WARRANTY, DO NOT USE YOUR XBOX 360. RETURN IT TO
MICROSOFT FOR A
REFUND.

For your warranty and other important information, see the Xbox 360 Warranty manual.

POSITION YOUR XBOX

Orientation

You can position yourconsole horizontally or vertically, whichever you prefer. However, change console orientation from one to the other only
when it is turned off with no disc in the tray.

Prevent the Console from Falling

[IMAGE: Alert.jpg ]
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of such injuries and
damage to the Xbox 360 console, set up the Xbox 360 console according to these instructions. Place the console on a surface that:

• Is flat and level.

• Is stable and not likely to tip over.

• Allows all four feet of the console to be in contact with the surface.

• Is not likely to allow the console to slip or slide off.

• Is clean and free of dust and debris.

If the surface or console feet become dirty or dusty, clean them with a dry cloth. If the console is positioned vertically, put it on a surface where it
is not likely to fall if it tips over.
Arrange all cables and cords so that people and pets are not likely to trip over or accidentally pull on them as they move around or walk through
the area. When the console is not in use, you may need to disconnect all cables and cords from the front and rear of the console to keep them
out of the reach of children and pets. Do not allow children to play with cables and cords.

Prevent the Console from Overheating

Do not block any ventilation openings on the console or power supply. Do not place the console or power supply on a bed, sofa, or other soft
surface that may block ventilation openings. Do not place the console or power supply in a confined space, such as a bookcase, rack, or stereo
cabinet, unless the space is well ventilated.

Do not place the console or power supply near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or amplifiers.

Avoid Smoke and Dust

Do not use the console in smoky or dusty locations. Smoke and dust can damage the console, particularly the DVD drive.

CONNECT YOUR TV

Connect the AV Cable

ART OF COMPOSITE CONNECTION

To connect to your standard TV with composite:

1 Connect the AV cable to the AV port on the cons ole.
2 Set the switch on the cable to TV.
3 Connect the yellow color-banded composite connector on the cable to the yellow input on your TV. Leave the red, green, and blue video

connectors unconnected.

4 Connect the solid color left and right (white and red) audio connectors on the cable to the audio inputs on your TV. Don't confuse the redaudio

connector with the red video connector.
For mono audio, connect either the right or left audio connector to the single audio input.

5 Select the appropriate video input on your TV (such as "input," "AUX," "Line in," "source" or other TV setting).

ART OF COMPONENT CONNECTION

To connect to your high definition TV with component:

1 Connect the AV cable connector to the AV port on the console.
2 Set the switch on the AV port connector to HDTV.
3 Connect the red, green, and blue color-banded video connectors on the AV cable to the corresponding color inputs (Y, Cb/Pb, Cr/Pr) on your

TV. Leave the yellow color-banded composite connector unconnected.

4 Connect the solid color left and right (white and red) audio connectors on the HD AV cable to the audio inputs on your TV or stereo receiver.
5 Select the appropriate video input on your TV (such as "input," "AUX," "Line in," "source" or other TV setting).

After you've set up your console, you can test your connection in the Xbox Dashboard. First, proceed through the steps for connecting to power,
connecting your controller, and other settings.

Connect to a Digital Audio System

ART OF TOSLINK CONNECTION
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 above.
2 Connect a digital audio cable (not included) to the digital audio output on your console and to the digital audio input on your receiver.

Other Input

You can also connect to additional TV input types such as HDMI and VGA with cables sold separately. For more information, go to
www.xbox.com/setup.

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.

CONNECT TO POWER

Connect to Power

ART OF POWER CONNECTION
Always connect the power cords according to the following instructions:

1 Fully insert the power supply cord into the Xbox 360 console.
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.

Electrical Safety

[IMAGE: Alert.jpg ]
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 power cord, you can find Xbox Customer Support contact information at
www.xbox.com/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.

• Do not connect any other devices between the Xbox 360 power supply unit and the Xbox 360 console or between the power cord and the Xbox
360 power supply unit.

To avoid damaging the power cords and 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. Visit www.xbox.com/support for Xbox Customer
Support contact information.
Unplug your Xbox 360 console during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

SET UP YOUR CONTROLLER

Insert batteries before using your controller with your console.

Insert Batteries

The wireless controller uses either disposable AA or LR6 batteries (included) or rechargeable NiMH batteries (sold separately). If you want to use
rechargeable batteries, you'll need the Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit, sold separately.
[IMAGE: insertAA.jpg ]

To insert batteries:

1 Press the tab on the top of the AA battery pack and pull down to detach it from the controller.
2 Insert two new AA (LR6) batteries with their positive (+) and negative (–) ends as shown on the underside of the battery pack.
3 Slide thebattery pack back into place on the controller and push it in to lock.

NOTE

To avoid pinching your fingers when inserting, push only on the flat surface of the battery pack.

Disposable Battery Safety

[IMAGE: Alert.jpg ]
Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Risk of fire if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.
Released battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is harmful if swallowed. To reduce the risk of injury:

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

• Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of batteries in fire.

• Use only alkaline batteries, type AA (LR6).

• Do not mix new and old batteries.

• Remove the batteries if they are worn out or before storing your controller for an extended period of time. Do not leave batteries in the AA

battery pack when it is not installed in the controller.

• If a battery leaks, remove all batteries, taking care to keep the leaked fluid from touching your skin or clothes. If fluid from the battery comes
into contact with skin or clothes, flush skin with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment
with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations for cleanup.

• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local and national disposal regulations (if any).

Remove Controller Batteries Aboard Aircraft

Before boarding any aircraft or packing the wireless controller in luggage that will be checked, remove any batteries from the wireless controller.
The wireless controller can transmit radio frequency (RF) energy, much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed.
