Watch closely for the disc tray icon on the first three blades to split into two hemispheres. If it does, that
means your HD-DVD drive is connected properly. If it doesn’t, double-check the connections and power it
back on. The top hemisphere represents the Xbox 360 disc tray; the bottom hemisphere represents the

is important to have VGA-
or component–HD AV cables.At 480p, 720p, or even 1080i, HD gaming is a thing of beauty. And while S-Video may not deliver the same
level of clarity as HD, it still offers a far superior signal to standard composite cables. If your TV supports any of

tivity. Perhaps the phrase
“plug and play” is now
officially outdated.
