Set Up an Xbox

Have you just bought a used Xbox, and it is missing its instruction manual? You have never played one before, and don't know how to set it up? This article will show you how to set up an Xbox.

Steps

  1. Place your console wherever you want. Make sure it is close to your TV, so the cables don't stretch.
  2. Take the INPUT end of the AV cable, and place it in the AUDIO VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT slot on the back of the console. Take the other end and place each part in the appropriate colour-coded jack on the back of your TV.
  3. Take the Power Cable, and place the correct end in the AC INPUT on the back of the console.
  4. Take your Ethernet Cable (optional), and place it in the LAN Adapter slot on the back of the console. The other end must connect to a phone line.
  5. Plug the controller into SLOT 1 on the front of the console.
  6. Press the EJECT button. This will both turn on the console, and open the disc tray. Put the appropriate disc onto the disc tray, and press EJECT again.
  7. Now play your games!

Tips

  • When turning on the console, scroll down to SETTINGS. In there you can input all the required details like day/month/year, audio and video settings, etc.
  • If your TV does not support the AV Cable, included with your console should be a SCART adapter. Use this to connect to your TV.
  • If the AV cable is incorrectly inserted to the back of the Xbox, an orange light will flash.
  • If the console does not turn on, the AV cable is either broken or incorrectly inserted.

Warnings

  • Never handle electrical equipment with wet hands.
