Rotate HDMI input

Try different inputs for the HDMI. The HDMI cable is a different input channel (eg. input channel 1-6 - my input for HDMI (and I have 7 of them) is input 6 whereas the input for the regular cable is input 2).

Also, with HDMI the xbox will not start up until it is on the proper channel.

The specs of the system are:

RCA RT2911 1,000W HDMI Home Theater System:•1,000W power

•145W x 4 and 210W x 2

•Full HDMI switching allows users to play HDMI audio from selected HDMI input, while also passing through the HDMI signal to TV

•3 HDMI inputs, 1 HDMI output

•Digital optical and coaxial audio inputs

•3 AUX audio inputs

•Line-in for connection to iPod and other portable audio products

•6.5mm headphone output

There are very few laptops with HDMI input. The only ones I'm aware of are some of AlienWare's 17" and 18" models. Most laptops with an HDMI port have HDMI outputs, not inputs.

You have a couple of options, depending on the type of AMP you have.

If your AMP can handle HDMI input AND HDMI outputs, then run the xbox to the appropriate HDMI input and connect the TV to the HDMI output. Select the appropriate input on the AMP, and you should be set.

If your AMP cannot handle that, then just run the HDMI from the XBOX to the TV and the optical from the XBOX to the AMP. Set the AMP on the appropriate input on the AMP, and you should be set.

Hi,

It depends on your PC. HDMI output and HDMI input are two different things.

Often the HDMI ports on PCs are output only. They're intended to send information to another device like a monitor or TV. They usually don't accept input.

Your PC might be set up for HDMI input but if it's not settings then possibly not.
