Help needed connecting Xbox one to tv w/o hdmi input

CozierFlunky391 · Dec 23, 2014

Purchased an xbox one for my son but didn't realize you need a tv that has an hdmi input. The set he would use is a Runco CR-32HD tv. According to specs it has 1080i compatability & multiple inputs including a DVI w HDCP which seems to be the crucial element.
Any & all help would be greatly appreciated!!

Xbox One audio

Need help with xbox one audio. I have my xbox one HDMI cable running from XB1 (HDMI out) to my TV on one of the several HDMI inputs. The XB1 comes up great on the TV but no sound through the XB1 headset. Neither my Direct TV or Receiver go through the XB1, they are on another HDMI input on the TV - I want to keep them seperate. Why can't I hear the XB1 through the XB1 headset? Thanks

Connect your Xbox 360 Console to an HDTV or monitor using HDMI Cable

If your Xbox 360 console has an HDMI port, you can easily connect an HDTV or high-definition monitor to your console using the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable.

Here is how:

First, you need to connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port.

You have to connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input on your HDTV or monitor.

After connecting the cable properly, turn on your TV and console.

If the Xbox Dashboard doesn’t appear, you might need to change the video input setting.

The console automatically uses the default display settings. But you can also change the settings on the console to improve the video display.

Note: All Original Xbox consoles do not have an HDMI port.

That was my issue when I first got my XBox One. I ended up getting a new monitor that had an HDMI port.

I saw adapters to go from HDMI to DVI & to go from HDMI to VGA. I don't know fully how well / if that works. Sound would not transfer that way though.

I will check but I do have an AV system which is setup up just like the Basic Set Up Guidelines specify:

Basic setup with an audio/video receiver

With an audio/video (A/V) receiver, the best and most direct option is to connect the devices sequentially:

Connect your set-top box HDMI output to the Xbox One HDMI input.
Connect the Xbox One HDMI output to your A/V HDMI input.
Connect your A/V HDMI output to the HDMI input on your TV.

Now I will have to see if the TV has HDMI output to include A/V if Xbox needs to go directly to TV or switch to optical

Worldwide means outside the US, too - my friend ;-)

I.e. I really do need to connect a seperate STB to the Xbox one in order to enjoy live tv even if (or although) I am using a smart tv? Does this make any sense? The idea of a smart tv is to live w/o any extra STB's...

Is there a possibility to directly feed in the tv signal to the Xbox one?

What about K4meltreiber's input of using the bi-directional LAN cables inside an HDMI cable to control the built in STB?

In comparison with the PS4 the feature "live tv" of the Xbox one was a strrong argument of the "all in one entertainment system"... I am looking forward to hear about any technical solution. As I own a premium smart tv I won't by a extra STB - sorry!

Hello Liam T, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly connect or connect a Roku device to an Xbox One S console. The Xbox One S does not have a built-in feature or app that allows you to integrate or connect a Roku device within the console interface.

However, there are alternative ways to use your Roku device together with your Xbox One S:

HDMI Switching: Connect your Roku device directly to your TV using an HDMI cable. Next, connect your Xbox One S to another HDMI input on your TV. Most modern TVs have multiple HDMI inputs, allowing you to switch between devices using the TV's input selection menu or a remote control.

I hope this works.

Best regards.

It's understandable that you're facing this issue with your Xbox One S console not displaying a signal on the TV in Japan. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Check the HDMI cable connection: Ensure the HDMI cable is firmly connected to both the Xbox One S and the TV. Disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable to ensure a secure connection.

Try a different HDMI cable: If possible, try using a different HDMI cable to rule out any issues with the original cable.

Change HDMI input on the TV: Check the TV's input settings and ensure that you are on the correct HDMI input port connected to the Xbox One S.

Power cycle the Xbox One S: Turn off the Xbox One S completely by holding the power button for about 10 seconds until the console shuts down. Unplug the power cord for 30 seconds, and then plug it back in and turn on the console.

Update the Xbox One S software: Ensure that the Xbox One S is running the latest software updates. Go to Settings > System > Updates and check for any available updates.

Try different HDMI ports on the TV: If your TV has multiple HDMI ports, try connecting the Xbox One S to a different HDMI port.

Check for TV compatibility issues: Check if your TV is compatible with the resolution and refresh rate settings of the Xbox One S. You can adjust these settings in the Xbox One S's video settings.

Try a different TV: If possible, try connecting the Xbox One S to a different TV to rule out any issues with your current TV.

I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions or need additional clarification.
