Is it possible to setup xbox one without hdmi connection?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Unfortunately there isn't another way. You need to get the HDMI fixed to set up the console.

Your receiver looks a lot like the Onkyo one I have. Without knowing the rest of your setup, what I have is the Xbox One HDMI going into the receiver (as well as the BD player, Cable box & Xbox 360) and then an HDMI cable in the HDMI out slot to the TV.

What is the rest of your setup? And how are you connecting everything to your TV?

Think your Xbox one console HDMI sky HD connect next TV HDMI ... but Xbox one have see TV press sky HD setup auto will work.

I assume you are using an Xbox One console. The most basic connection setup with your Onkyo receiver would just be:

Xbox One --> HDMI --> Onkyo Receiver -->
HDMI --> TV

The labels over the HDMI-inputs on your receiver are merely "suggestions", possibly to help you stay organized with the cabling. However, you will likely want to connect your Xbox One to HDMI inputs 1-3, as they have HDCP 2.2. This will especially prevent
errors when watching content in 4K (if you have the Xbox One S).

Thanks for getting back to me!

I have both my console and soundbar plugged into my TV. My Xbox One S is connected to HDMI 1 and my soundbar is connected to HDMI 2 (ARC). It's the recommended setup.

It's also the exact same setup as before with my old Xbox One.

Again, with this setup I am not able to get surround sound on the S, which didn't happen with the non-S.
