Used HDMI cable from One on my 360 for the first time, switched back, now TV doesn't ...

Hey people, hope someone can help me with this problem, its peculiar.

So I bought an xbox slim recently and just finished setting it up. I took out the XBONE HDMI cable and used it on my

360. Works fine...Decided to switch it back to my XBONE, and now my TV is not recognizing the HDMI source. I tried using

a different HDMI cable, still nothing. I used different inputs on the TV, nothing. I unplugged, the brick, turned it back on, still

nothing. What in the world could have possibly happened? It still turns on UPDATE actually the kinect won't turn on but the

console does. Also when plugging the power cable back into the brick you can hear some electric snaps and crackles when

the plug is not fully in the brick but once I fully connect it, it stops. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I appreciate it greatly!

:)

New Xbox 360 S & HDMI

Okay, so I just replaced my older 360 for my first 360 S. The old 360 came with the HD AV cables that had the switch on the plug so you can set if for an HDTV. When I used this cable with my Samsung HDTV, the TV would automatically detect the input source,
and I was able to switch the input before the Xbox was turned on. Now that I have a 360 S and am finally using an HDMI cable, the TV doesn't detect an additional input source so I am unable to switch sources from "TV". However, if I turn on the Xbox first,
it appears to recognize the input as I am able to switch to the correct input after. So I guess the main question is: is that normal when using an HDMI cable? Do TV's not usually detect the HDMI input until after the source (Xbox) has been turned on?

HDMI Mode Not Supported

I just bought a Roxio hd capture pro capture card, when I first used it for my xbox one everything worked perfectly. After a few days of not using it, on my tv, my tv reads "hdmi mode not supported."

What i decided to do was take all of the cables i was using upstairs to the tv in my room, and use the cables on my dvr box to my tv...and all of my cables worked perfectly fine. But when I hooked those same cables up even directly to my xbox one, even that
tv kept saying "hdmi mode not supported."

When I hooked up each cable from my xbox one directly to my tv the tv doesn't recognize the hdmi cable at all, I did a factory reset on my console(i pushed the power button for several seconds, console turned off, then i turned it back on by holding the
power and disc eject button at the same time)and even afterwards my console wouldn't display on my televison.

What is going on? What do I do?

Most common problem I've seen in situations like this is people are plugging it into the wrong HDMI port on the back of the Xbox One. The port on the far left, next to the power plug, is the HDMI Out to TV port. The other is an HDMI in port for your cable
or satellite box. Make sure you're got it plugged in securely to the correct port.

As for the power, always make sure your plugs are inserted completely and securely, and make sure you're always plugging into a wall outlet and never into a power strip or surge protector. After you've made sure all your plugs are in securely and in the
correct ports, go ahead and turn your TV on and see if it works.

Let me know how it goes.

Yes

First switch off xbox, unplug the HDMI cable then plug in the Standard definition composite cables that came with the xbox.

Switch on xbox then go to video settings and set PAL 60 mode.

After setting pal 60 mode switch off xbox and go back and plug in the HDMI cable. You should now be able to play the game.

If you are not using HDMI cables but instead use one of those componant cables then all you have to do is look for the switch on the part of the cable that plugs into the xbox. Switch it to TV mode then go into video settings and set PAL 60 mode. Switch
back to HD and game will work

I have tried that. I also tried a couple other things. I disconnected the ONE altogether to separate that from the equation. I changed hdmi input ports. I then, also tried connecting the 360 hdmi directly to the soundbar. None of this works. It seems like
a couple possibilities here. 360 is NOT able to pass audio through hdmi to this soundbar, period. It is able to pass through the optical cable, however. So, either 360 doesn't pass audio through hdmi to this particular soundbar or something is just broken
in my 360. Obviously, it passes audio through hdmi to tv as I get sound that way. So, something between the hdmi signal from 360 to this particular soundbar just doesn't work. I think for my overall setup, I really need the One to connect directly to tv because
this gives the best sound for most of what I'm doing (when one is connected directly to soundbar, then to tv, I get worse sound, so One has to be connected to tv first, then optical to soundbar which prevents me from hooking up 360 optical to soundbar as
I'm not switching out plugs every time I switch systems). So, 360 is simply going through tv speakers now. Not a huge deal, but I'm surprised I can't hook this up the way I had it.

The only problem is that Tiamat89's
screenshot (hyperlinked now) shows it is not using an HDMI cable. If you are trying to run the 360 to the One using the component cables you would need a Component/HDMI adapter. My question to you though is if you are running your 360 into your cable box,
are you just using a switch to flip between inputs (360 or Cable)? If this is the case, then you should be able to take your cable box out video/audio and feed it in to your Xbox One. While you are on the Xbox One you would just use the TV app and then use
the switch to alternate between the Xbox 360 and Cable. If this doesn't answer your question can you give clarification on the following:

- What cable is running from your 360 output to your cable box input?

- What cable is running from your cable box output to your Xbox One input?

- If the 360 is running into the cable box, how do you alternate the TV display?

Let us know and we'll be more than glad to help you out.

Try the following:

Reconnect your console and TV as follows:

Remove any devices placed between the console and the TV.

Connect the HDMI cable from the back of the Xbox 360 console directly into the HDMI port of the HDTV or monitor.

If you are using an audio-only A/V cable, unplug this cable, and then connect the HDMI cable from the back of the console directly into the HDMI port of your HDTV or monitor.

If this doesn't work, contact Xbox Support.

Ok. I think we're at a point where we've confirmed that it is the XBOX ONE that is the issue. It's not my cable box, HDMI cables, HDMI splitter, A/V receiver, or TV.

===================

I performed GZA's test. I setup my HW as follows:

Cable, HDMI, SPLITTER, HDMI, TV INPUT 1

HDMI, TV INPUT 2

I paused the cable box and switched between the inputs and the images were the same. No differences in color. So it's not the HDMI splitter or TV input settings.

===================

Next I performed my test where I removed the cable box from the equation in an attempt to prove my theory that it doesn't matter what is connected the XBOX hdmi input . I plugged my XBOX 360 into my XBOX ONE's HDMI input and also directly to my TV as follows:

XBOX 360, HDMI, SPLITTER, HDMI, TV INPUT 1

HDMI, XBOX ONE, HDMI, TV INPUT 2

I paused a trailer on the XBOX 360 (Man of Steel) and switched between the TV inputs and the XBOX ONE's version was darker (just like when it was the cable box). I repeated the same setup but used my PS3 in place of the XBOX 360..yup you guessed it same
result: XBOX ONE's version was darker.

====================

XB1R,

I think we've clearly shown here that you should be able to easily reproduce this issue. You don't need my cable box to see it you can use a XBOX 360. Please keep in mind that this is a somewhat subtle difference and that you need to pay attention to the
darker portions of the image when comparing.

Please get this fixed! The XBOX shouldn't alter my HDMI input like this. I lose a lot of detail in the image when watching TV through the XBOX so I find myself not using it.

Used HDMI cable from One on my 360 for the first time, switched back, now TV doesn't ...
