vcc is what is says on the little black box on the HD diagram

Well, vcc is just positive voltage. In this case its probably +3,3v or 5v. If you were wondering about the coaxial/optical connectors there, you really just need one of them. It's 2 different kinds of cables for delivering digital sound. I would go with coaxial as it's the easiest, both to mount and to find the parts for.

Of course it would be nice to have both, but you just need one to get digitial sound out of the box.

still not understanding the vcc, it shows as a black box with 3 connections? coaxial? is that like cable wire? or is it different coaxial, like rca jack?
also, to make it work it shows 2 switches, both switches shown need to be on?

Hello!
I have a problem.

I have made my own VGA output on the xbox and I have connected pins 11, 12 and 13, 14 so I get High Def A/V mode turned on according to Jareds fine diagram. But I still don't have the 480, 720 and 1080 alternatives selectable in the MS Dashboard? Only Normal, Letterbox and Widescreen... I have a 1.0 PAL xbox and I have turned NTSC mode on with the help of Enigmah. And I haven't made the sync separator circuit, but thats just because my screen support sync-on-green.

Anyone who can help?

I need to find a Toslink Optical jack, I didn't find any at Radioshack or anywhere around here, where can I find them?

sorry if this question has already been answered but i'm on a 56k connection atm

now you're all gonna call me crazy but from the diagram on the first page is it possible to combine the Advanced A/V, High Def A/V and the VGA all together so i can have all the output connections whose mode are then controlled by the switches

as well as this is it also possible to add a scart output

click on the link in my sig to see the back of my xbox.. yes it is possible..and you only need two switches.. 1 spst switch and one dpst switch.. switch one goes on spst and 2 and 3 go on the dpst.. the reason is that vga and component are on switches 2 and 3 not 1 and 3 as some diagrams show.. and composite is on switch 1.. and rgb is all 3..so dont waste time having 3 switches...

thanks for clearing that up its nice to see that someone else has done it

for the sake of the argument if i connected Advanced A/V, High Def A/V and the VGA connections up just like in the diagrams and used 3 switches would it still work

So it is possible to output toslink and digital coaxial simultaneously to two different places, correct?

I apologize for not reading but I don't have the time right now to read through 24 pages.

If I just want to output Component and Optical can I skip the switch part? And, where would I find the component and optical plugs for this?

Thanks - Kevin

no you wouldn't need a switch if you only want the ability to output one type of video. As far as plugs and stuff....www.partsexpress.com has a lot of great stuff, however I don't know if they have the right models for the optical output jack, there are only like 3 different models that will work with the xbox. I myself am still trying to find a place that has one of the working toslink jacks, does anybody here know a good website for that?

I found a site that sells two of the three models. They have the TOTX173 as well as the TOTX176.

There's a $15 buy limit.

Anyone need one? I could buy two and sell you one at cost.

And I didn't find what I wanted at PartsExpress.com but I looked around on Mouser.com and found a cool doohickey that has the 3 component plugs all connected and colored coded (red, green, blue). They also have one that's the same but it has red/yellow/white for composite + stereo.

Well, that didn't work, so is there anybody out there with a spare toslink jack?
