    Xbox 360 HDTV plug in problem (PLEASE HELP)

    Last night when I was plugging up the Xbox 360 and when I went to the HDTV settings menu to switch it to 720p (it was on 420p) it wouldn't let me switch it to 720p. What am I doing wrong? I looked at the back of the 360 and it's on HD.

    You aren't using the yellow composite cable are you?

      I had this same problem, but it was simply because I didn't switch the plug from Standard to HD.

      Not sure what your problem is.

        Is that the point at which the screen is black for a few seconds? Be sure to give it enough time to change from black to regular picture. It sometimes takes about 10 or more seconds.

          your tv probably does't support 720p natively, so you have to set it at 1080i. At least that's how my tv is. If the tv doesn't support 720p natively, it doesn't work with 720. My HDTV is almost 2 years old and they are just starting to make the high defs that support it natively.

            I thought that my TV was made to be in 720, but as it turns out I was wrong. My TV is made for it be be on 1080i for HD games.
