Connecting your headset if you are using an HDMI cable
If you are using an HDMI cable on your console and you do not have RCA audio outputs on your TV you will
need to purchase an XBOX360™ audio adaptor. This then allows you to take your sound from the console
even when you are using HDMI. These adaptors * can be purchased from online retailers.
1. To use the adaptor, rstly connect the main plug to the AV socket on the rear of your XBOX360™ console. It
is situated next to the HDMI output.
2. Then plug the RCA extension cable back into audio adaptor, using the red and white plugs.
3. Plug the green coloured 3.5mm plug from your headset into the green coloured female 3.5mm socket on
your extension cable.
4. Plug the USB cable into a spare USB socket on the front or rear of your console.
5. Plug the 2.5mm jack on the controller chat cable into the headset socket on the front of your controller. Plug
the other end of the controller chat cable, into the chat socket on the remote unit.
