Xbox restarts when i change input on my monitor. How do i fix this?

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

Fisrt of all , when you have an Issue , it's better to start a new Thread , and not to post in old threads that are not monitored by support agents.

This issue occurs because an Xbox 360 console automatically changes the video resolution based on each connection.

To prevent the console from resetting, manually set the resolution. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Select Settings , and then select System .

2. Select Console Settings , select Display , and then select HDTV Settings .

3. Select the resolution that you want.

So , When you manually set the resolution, your Xbox does not automatically change the video resolution.

An HDMI connection provides information to your Xbox 360. This information is known as the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID). The EDID provides information about the device that is connected to your Xbox (for example, your TV). For a TV, this information
includes the optimal display resolution.

Based on the information in the EDID, your Xbox 360 will change the resolution to match the TV or other devices. This lets your Xbox 360 console adapt when you are configuring your AV setup. However, your Xbox 360 may reset when you change the video input.

Typically, your Xbox 360 console will automatically change within three minutes after it is turned on. After three minutes, your Xbox 360 console will ignore any EDID changes.

Note If you experience this issue after your Xbox console was on longer than three minutes, it may be an issue specific to your AV setup.

Which adapter are you using with your console? If you remove the adapter, does the console display the same behavior?

No i have the same problem when i switch from Component to AV i assume that the Xbox does this because it needs to switch the pixels and stuff but i don't think their is anyway around this

No we are having the same problem as your fiance.

We are using the OFFICIAL cable provided by microsoft or Xbox and are having to do the same thing as your fiance.

Are xbox restarts once we select the HDMI input or turn the monitor on.

We are just trying to figure out if there is a way that we can have the monitor/tv on a different input and have the xbox running, and then change it back to HDMI and NOT have the xbox restart...

You know, so we can be productive and all.

If we have the input on the xbox and change it, I have the xbox running to external speakers so I am still able to get the sound, but once I change the input back to get video again, everything restarts.

Just wondering if there is a cable fix or something for this. If not... xbox should really look into it.
