    Video quality of Xbox with component cables

    i have a question regarding the various HD signals. I have MVP Baseball 2004 and after I booted it up is shows that it is being projected at 720p. I have my X1 set at 4:3 but it didnt look right so I switched it to 16:9. This might be a elementary question, but does 720p imply a widescreen...

    Video quality of Xbox with component cables

    are you using a X1 as well for you video source? it sounds like the HD AV pack is well worth the money for a better picture but i just want to make sure my X1 can reproduce that great image. also, i havnt been able to find a good picture of the HD AV pack but from what i have seen you just...

    Video quality of Xbox with component cables

    does the brand of cables matter? I guess you could call me cheap, but i was wondering if i had to spring for the monster cables to get the good video quality. i have also seen the xbox HD AV pack where you can use your own component cables. any advise? also, im assuming the x1 is capable...

    Video quality of Xbox with component cables

    I am debating whether or not to spend the money for component cables for my Xbox.

    Xbox progressive modes with X1

    I have had a infocus X1 for a couple of months now and I have just purchased a Xbox. I have heard that you can make the Xbox output a progressive signal (only on certain games I assume) but I was wondering how I would have to hook everything up to achieve this. Right now I have my DVD player...

    X1 humming or buzz sound

    i know its not the fan running. after you choose to power down the fan runs at high speed for about 1-2 min to cool off the bulb then it slows down to a lower rmp and constantly runs. it states all this in the manual and i have heard it, but what i am talking about is a buzzing or humming sound...

    Energy Loudspeakers

    what you described about my system is correct. i havent looked at the prices of the xl-250 but if its over $500 i wont be able to afford them right now. to be honest, i love the xl-16's. when i got them the dealer said that they would make suitable mains as well. i may just go ahead and get...

    aspect ratio settings

    i got my x1 today and i began my tweaking and i ran across the aspect ratio setting. the quick and dirty, i wasnt very excited about the 16:9 setting. to be fair i should say that i was just using my laptop as a dvd player so i didnt get a chance to set my dvd player to 16:9 mode. with that...
