    Xbox 360 reboots when tv input is changed


    I've been having this problem for a while and thought I'd try to get help for it again. While playing on the xbox 360, if I accidently change the input on the tv it causes my xbox 360 to reboot. It didn't do this when we first bought it, but after about
    a year it started happening. Any ideals on how to fix this issue?

    :)

    Xbox screen static/ fuzz/ flicker

    This is a problem I guess everyone is having.... hard reboot fixes it for 2 cycles... The it happens again... Very annoying. Changed HDMI and inputs on TV.

    Xbox 360 reboots when tv input is changed

    This would appear to be an issue with your TV. Your Xbox 360 reboots when it detects any change in output hardware. This is the same reason why your system does not boot if it does not detect anything to output to (such as your TV being turned off). When
    switching inputs, some TVs, especially as they age, have changes in voltage to certain parts of the circuitry. This can include HDMI ports. As the voltage drops, your 360 resets because it no longer sees your TV as being a viable output. When the input change
    is complete, the charge returns, and your Xbox sees it as a TV. Again, nothing you can really do. You can try to turn display discovery off in video settings to see if that helps. (Xbox's implementation of DD is atrocious anyway)

    I am having problems with xbox 360 S HDCP Link not found?

    @Zacabeb, Yes it reboots if I change my input temporarily are there anyway to stop it from resetting or do I just have to deal with it and not change my input when I am using my Xbox 360?

    Restarting When Monitor Input Changed

    Before the updates (the beta updates I could turn on my xbox get to the dashboard then switch to TV while I wait for the kids to come down and join me using the XBox. After the update when I change input on my tv back to the XBox's HDMI input the XBOX will
    reboot.

    I understand that there are some devices etc. That will need t he XBox to restart. But if there is a way to make the XBox not do a restart just because the TV Input changes that would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Trevor

    HDMI AV Cable reboot xbox

    My fiance has something similar happen with his HD LED TV.

    I can't remember the technical terms but it's basically something to do with the Xbox wanting a dedicated connection.

    If my fiance turns on his Xbox first before his TV (or before changing inputs to his Xbox 360) his console lingers in a state of limbo, and when he selects the right connection it continues with the start-up logo.

    Although if what you're saying is that you play on your Xbox, then change the input to something else and it actually reboots the Xbox then I am not sure. It sounds silly but just double check that both ends are securely connected and are not loose as I
    believe the Xbox certainly doesn't like the cable taken out from the console end and I think it reboots in that instance.
