If you are connecting to your television through the component cables (Red, Green, and Blue) then you need to set the little switch on the part of the video cable that connects to the 360 to HDTV. Afterwards, go to the System Settings and make sure the resolution is set to match your television. You should then be good to go.
Make sure you're plugging the yellow cable into the proper port. You'll get the worst possible SD image, but you shouldn't be getting the weird color issues you're describing. Either way, i'd suggest hopping on Amazon and picking up a $2 HDMI cable and step your picture quality game up.Senor_KamiJust bumping this for more opinions. I tried it again last night and the picture just came on and then went off straight away but still sound and a funny colour on screen. Like i say it does work on all other teles in my house and the sky and freeview work on all the scarts on the tele so its not the scarts on the tele either. Which makes me think its the setup of the television? shouldnt scarts be plug in and play?

The TV plugins sound messed up but I am not sure. Never had anything bad happen to a Phillips. No problems
1. theres nothing wrong with my Lcd. 2. my 360 didnt come with an HDMI cord for the 360. 3. Ps3 works fine on my tv, xbox does too, as well as ps2. And lastly if I want to come on this site looking for answers instead of going to Philips then there is no darn harm in that, isnt there!Well why not try Phillips tech support as an option?
The second thing I have to ask is why are you NOT using the component cables or even HDMI to link up your 360?!?! You have an LCD TV surely it has connections and HD > SD any day of the week!!

no 360's come with the hdmi cord, and the BEST thing to do is to use an hdmi cord not the standard cables, it makes a difference, and i seen many hdmi wires for around $8. if nothing else helps call phillips or 360 customer support
No, not all 360s come with the HD cord. I got the Arcade pack & it the Hd cord isnt includedno 360's come with the hdmi cord, and the BEST thing to do is to use an hdmi cord not the standard cables, it makes a difference, and i seen many hdmi wires for around $8. if nothing else helps call phillips or 360 customer support

Hi,
I recently received a philips LED TV and have been trying to connect my xbox 360 Elite to it. However the the video/yellow component does not seem to work properly, and both other red and white components are correctly plugged in. I can hear sounds but the image is non-apparent (I am not using HD). When I plug the yellow component in, for a split second I can see the home screen of the xbox menu page, but then switches to a grey screen shortly after. I tried moving the cable around, plugging it in and out but nothing seems to work. The image shows for a split second and turns to grey again if pulled in and out. I went through the manual, tried reseting the video settings, but that failed. I am wondering what is wrong. (Specs: PHILIPS 28PW9509, Pixel plus-2, 180W, 1.2W, 166KW). It is not an issue with the yellow component itself since it works on my other Samsung TV.
Furthermore, on my samsung LED TV, it works fine, but i wanted to replace it because the bright colors such as yellow, orange and white turn to red as I play after a few minutes. Is there a way to fix that issue? or is it that my TV is just too old? (Specs: CW-28D83N, 230V, 50Hz, 95WATTS).
So if any of those two issues could be fixed any useful help is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Frenchy
