Quick Guide For High Def Output

I'w been trying, and still no "luck". I have to stop to some point pefore my Xbox is broken (soldering many times). And every time connection was good when looking with multimeter. I just have to use that AV cable sad.gif . Fortunately that cable is behind Xbox laugh.gif. Maybe my other Xbox is not bewitched dry.gif .

Sorry to hear you did't get it working correctly.  Are you sure you connected the correct pins?  Maybe you accidentally connected pin 9 and 7 or 8?  Just trying to think what could be the problem.

Another possible solution...  Solder pin 9 to pin 12 or pin 14.  All three of the pins 10, 12, and 14 are grounds.  If that doesn't work, then you may just be stuck with the A/V cable.

Hope you get it working!

Ok, I'm building a cable right now with the following outputs:
- Audio L+R
- Digital audio (comp)
- VGA

I just can't figure out which points in JaredC01's scheme I have to bridge to get VGA and Digital audio at the same time..

Thanks!

do you have to use a sync sep.?  can you just pull them somewhere off the xbox mobo?....

since i dont feel like waiting for it to be shipped...  what else uses them?, or where can i just get one off of...


There is a way to pull them off of the mobo, but I'm not sure what it is.  It would be easiest to use the seperator circuit.

You have to enable high def modes in the original XBox dashboard.

Honestly I'm not sure about digital audio myself.  I'll check if it works with pins 9 -10 and pins 13 - 14 grounded in a few minutes.  I'll post what I find out.

Another question that came up:

Do I need to use the 100nF (capacitator?) between the VCC (8) and the minus (6) on the LM1881? I will not be making a optical output, the vga-tutorial at X-S doesn't mention the capacitator at all.

No.  The capacitor is only for the Optical output.  It is not needed for the Sync Seperator.

i am not sure but i think that if you got a PAL xbox you cant do this directly because if you read the VGA note on the diagram it is said that you must turn your xbox in 480 progressive scan and for that you must have a High definition pack and PAL are not compatible, you must change your xbox to be NTSC and then turn your xbox in Hight definition mode and do what it is said in the note.
need a confirmation on that , not 100% sure

Edit:  illypso is also correct on the NTSC part.  You must have 480p enabled to have a usable monitor signal, and you can only enable high def modes with NTSC mode.  The good news is, most games are made to be multi-region.

You have to ground pins 11 - 12, and 13 - 14.  That will give you the high def mode in the XBox dashboard.

To set 480p blindly in the XBox Dash:

Down
Down
A

Pause 1 Second

Down
Down
Down
A

Pause 1 Second

Down
A

Pause 1 Second

Left

Restart your XBox, and you should be in 480p.

That's probably what I've been doing wrong. I've grounded pins 9-10 and 13-14 (switches 1+3 to get VGA mode). So I can't get the HDTV option in my dash (I think).

So if I ground pins 11-12 and 13-14,  I will get the HDTV option in my dash. But will I also get VGA output?

Thanks for all your help btw!!

No, read the VGA note on the diagram.  You must first ground pins 11 - 12 and 13 - 14, and enable 480p in the dashboard.  Then you remove the ground between 11 - 12, and ground pins 9 - 10, so that you have pins 9 - 10, and 13 - 14 grounded (VGA Mode).  You must also have a VGA bios installed.

Is it possible to output the HD components AND the regular RCA (yellow wire) simultaneously?  You ask why... I have a TV guardian for the kids that cuts out cuss words, but is dependent on having the regular RCA hookup to edit the sound.
