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.
You must accept the terms and conditions
of the Limited Warranty and this manual to
use your Xbox 360 console. If you do not
accept these terms and conditions, do not

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 ona surface that:
• Is at 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 conned 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 ampliers.
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.

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 the Composite AV Cable
Use your composite AV cable to connect your
console to your TV.
To connect to your standard TV:
1 Connect the composite AV cable connector
to the AV port on the console.
2 Connect the colour-coded connectors to
the corresponding inputs on the SCART
adapter and connect the SCART adapter to
the TV: yellow to yellow (video), red to red
(right audio), and white to white (left audio).
You can also connect audio to a stereo
receiver.
For monaural (mono) TVs, which have only
one audio input, connect either the right or
left audio connector to the audio input.
If your TV does not have a SCART
connector, connect the colour-coded
connectors to the corresponding inputs on
the back of your TV.
3 Select the appropriate video input on your
TV (see No Picture under “Troubleshooting”
for further information).
After you’ve set up your console, you can
congure additional console audio settings
and test your connection from the System
area of the Xbox Dashboard. But before doing
so, proceed through the steps in the following
pages for connecting to power, connecting
your controller, and other initial settings.
Other AV Input
You can also connect to additional TV input
types by using the Xbox 360 Component HD
AV cable, the Xbox 360 Advanced SCART AV
Cable, the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable, or the
Xbox 360 HDMI AV Cable (all sold separately).
For more information, go to www.xbox.com/
setup.
CONNECT TO YOUR TV AND AUDIO SYSTEM

english
Connect to a Digital Audio System
If your system (typically, a receiver or
amplier) supports digital audio input, you can
connect to digital audio rather than to the
standard left and right audio by using the
Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable, the Xbox
360 Advanced SCART AV cable, the Xbox 360
VGA HD AV cable, or the Xbox 360 HDMI Cable
(all sold separately). Digital audio should
produce higher-quality sound. Follow the AV
cable instructions for connecting digital audio.
CONNECT THE CONSOLE TO POWER
Electrical Safety
As with many other electrical devices,
failure to take the following precautions
can result in serious injury or death from
electric shock or re 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
authorised repair centre. 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 specied on your
console. If you need a replacement
power supply unit or AC power cord,
contact Xbox Customer Support.
• Conrm 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
qualied 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. Conrm 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 and contact Xbox Customer
Support for a replacement.
Unplug your Xbox 360 console during
lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
Always connect the power cords according to
the following instructions:
1 Fully insert the power supply cord into
the Xbox 360 console.
