    Connecting Xbox one to older HDMI tv's


    Make sure you go to video setting on your Xbox one before moving your console. To an older model tv. Then click on the recommended settings. Because it will automatically see your Xbox one. Then it should pull up on the screen. Hope this helps works for
    me.

    Invalid Format

    Have you tried connecting the Xbox to another hdmi socket, some TV's only have one hdmi socket that will work for 4K.

    Xbox one optical update?

    i have not tried the optical out directly on the xb1... i have run my dolby surround on a (out) for my tv... i guess i should try it off my xb1 and see if i get the update??

    it would make no sense to me that it would only work with a headset/astros/tb... to get the update thru a plug in on the controller..

    i have used my xb1 hdmi out to my tv and used the coax/aux audio output to my digital bar... games like bf4 have changed compared to convential speaker/tv speakers... but forza5 sounds the same... and really in twitch streams it dosnt have the output/digital feed like it would on personal console/game..

    so if it was bundled in with the update i got it.. if i had to connect some other way than i did not or was not prompted to at any point that i connected the soundbar.


    i followed this:

    Audio receiver with optical or sound bar

    This is a slightly more complicated configuration that may require cables other than HDMI cables. This option provides full surround sound from your television set-top box. It’s best for older A/V receivers that either don’t have an HDMI port or don’t support audio over HDMI.

    Connect your set-top box HDMI output to the Xbox One HDMI input.
    Connect the Xbox One HDMI output to the HDMI input on your television.
    Connect the audio output from the television to the audio input on the sound bar using either HDMI or Optical S/PDIF cables.

    can't connect my xbox one to my Philips 4k tv

    Maybe search the tv model and xbox to see if others have issue connecting there tv to the console, I had to for an older tv which needed a new hdmi. It's possible the hdmi port on the tv or xbox could be slightly pushed in meaning it's not actually connected,
    very unlikely but if it is you'll need to contact xbox support.

    No Dolby Digital or DTS

    I did some trobleshooting and futher research on this subject. I have an older Denon receiver that does not accept HDMI, so I connected my XBOX One to my TV via an HDMI cable and then connected my TV to my receiver via an optical cable. Apparently LG TVs
    like the one I have do not have the capability to take 5.1 surround sound input from HDMI and output it through the optical. So, I will have to wait until Microsoft provides Dolby Digital support through the optical out on the XBOX One.

    Sound keeps cutting out while playing games! Help!

    Also would like to mention I have never had this problem with the older 360. The older 360 did however use the old hdmi connection (6 prongs) And i have several other things i usually switch out to the hdmi ports on the back of the tv, so i doubt its the
    hdmi port on the back of the tv.

    Directv and Receiver not working

    I have an older DirecTV HD DVR connected to my Xbox One also and all is working well now.

    In order to get it to work, I had to connect the DVR, via HDMI, directly to the Xbox One's HDMI input. The DVR no longer passes through the AV receiver. The AV receiver's HDMI out is now connected to a different input on the TV. Fortunately, my AV receiver,
    a Yamaha, turns off and on automatically with the TV, a Sharp, otherwise I don't think that everything would work, but I'm not sure. The optical out from the Xbox is the only connection to the AV receiver for the DirecTV and Xbox audio.

    I don't know the details of how CEC over HDMI works, but if it is Ethernet based, you may not need a direct connection between two devices for the commands to reach the right device. For example, since my Xbox one is connected to the TV via HDMI and the
    AV receiver is also connected to the TV the same way, the TV could be passing the commands along to all connected devices. If this is the case, you should be able to get your system to function fully as well.

    Good luck!

    Xbox One has no HDMI signal and goes to Green Screen of Death.

    Which Xbox One is it? The original or the new Xbox One S?

    This link may be helpful to see as well.

    Could you try the following?

    • Try connecting your Xbox One to another TV is possible.
    • Try using another HDMI to connect from the Xbox One to the TV. This may see if it's your console or the HDMI cord you're using is bad.
    • Connect the HDMI to another port of your TV (HDMI 1, HDMI 2).
