So I'm messin around with Aver Media and remembered seeing the review and how Luke hooked the XBOX up to the 9860. I hooked it up through the XBOX standard connectors to the S-Video cable (red to red, blue to yellow, green to white) I change the input to S-Video, and nothing. Can't get it to work. Anyone help?

I ran S-VIDEO from my XBOX to the laptop and it worked fine. I haven't messed around with component or composite connections. As far as sound is concerned, there is a RED-WHITE to MINI Y CABLE that I purchased. I hook the RED and WHITE to the XBOX output and the MINI into one of the minijacks on the laptop (Don't remember which one right now) and that pretty much was it.

Are you sure the tuner supports component connection?


red and white on a standard cable are stereo left and right. yellow is video. It sounds like your trying to hook up component video on a stereo connection.

im trying to hookup XBOX's RCA Cables to the Tuner's Hi-Def cables. It should work just fine. Hi-def = green left red right blue video and I hooked up red to red white to green and yellow to blue.

ah! they are not the same, i know, because i have a portable dvd player that comes with one set of cables that has red and white for audio, one set with the yellow OR s-video, and one set with the red green and blue, for video. the red and white are always audio, the red, green, blue, is for uh, i think it is called comprehensive video.

oh well, whatever the names are the (red+white) = audio. the yellow is the same as the (red + green + blue)

well unless someone isn't telling me about some cable I should have bought, I don't see where I am at fault. This thing does not work.

S-VIDEO from the XBOX to the back of the LAPTOP. Forget trying to use anything else. I tried component and all I got was a B/W picture so then I tried S-VIDEO (I had to get a different video-box-thingy for my XBOX) and that worked. SOUND is a different matter however. Let's first get yer VIDEO working.

Does the 9860 support composite video? (yellow video cable, white left audio cable, red right audio cable)

Component and composite video are 2 totally different things. Component splits the video signal among the Blue, Red and Green cables. Composite is sent to one cable, that being yellow, RED and WHITE are audio only. You need to get the Svideo cable for your xbox. Until then it aint gonna work.

S-video looks similar to your power connection, composite video looks like an RCA cable, usually yellow, and component looks like 3 RCA connectors usually Red, Green, Blue in color. Hope that helps.
