I had an xbox (sold it when I moved) and had it hooked up to my denon avr2802 via an optical cable and it sounded sweet in dolby 5.1 and had no problems with it on my main system. is there any particular reason you don't want to hook it up in your main room?

ive used the xbox to play songs form the hard drive, and dvds, and its perfectly fine, except with the matrix dvd, the dvd drive starts buzzin :/

Yes,I dont want to put the X-Box in my theater room because I have a 43 inch HDTV big screen and I dont want to get burn in.

I play my X-Box on my ISF-calibrated Hitachi 43UWX10b 43" widescreen HDTV. As long as you have your contrast at reasonable levels (i.e. you've at least calibrated with Avia or VE) and you aren't playing for hours at a time or anything, it really isn't that big of an issue. You just have to discipline yourself. By that, I mean... if you're walking out of the room with the game paused, change to a cable channel or something before you walk out... take breaks between gaming sessions... etc.

I use my xbox with a Sony 53" HDTV all the time. I've been using that setup for 2 years now with no problems at all!

MS is now releasing more games that are HighDef (Matrix game 1080i, Halo2 720p, etc). Just dont leave your game on pause for hours at a time.

Game on.

The burn-in issues are when you:

- play 1 game with fixed-graphics
- leave the TV displaying the game screen for 5-10 hrs per day
- Dont watch anything else

Since the XBox has a hard-drive to save games, you dont have to pause a game for days to keep playing.

I have no burn-in problems on my system. Just keep the intensity down and limit the continous display to ... say under 3 hours per day and you should be fine.

Eric Stuckey

Really !
I have always read not to hook it up peried.
Thats great news since I do have a HDTV and a killer DD/DTS 7.1 surrond system.
THANKS SO MUCH EVRYONE!

Just use common sense. If you notice fixed images on the screen for long periods, take a break for a few minutes. Luckily, most games now are broken up with cutscenes or level screens that ease the fear of burn-in. But I can not stress the importance of using a calibration disc to get your contrast and brightness to safer levels. As long as you're running the set at conservative levels, you should be fine. Burn-in is a real concern... but so long as you use common sense in your viewing (especially with TV stations with static logos in the corners), you shouldn't have a problem.
