ADEQUATE SPACE FOR PLAYING
The Kinect sensor needs to be able to see you, and you need room to move. The sensor can
see you when you play approximately 6 feet (2 meters) from the sensor. For two people, you
should play approximately 8 feet (2.5 meters) from the sensor.
Play space will vary based on your sensor placement and other factors. See your game’s
instructions for more information about whether it requires only part of the sensor play space.
Warning
Make sure you have enough space
to move freely while playing
Gameplay with your Kinect sensor may
require varying amounts of movement.
Make sure you won’t hit, run into, or trip
over other players, bystanders, pets,
furniture, or other objects when playing.
If you will be standing and/or moving
during gameplay, you will also need
good footing.
Before playing:
• Look in all directions (right, left,
forward, backward, down, and up) for
things you might hit or trip over.
• Make sure your play space is far
enough away from windows, walls,
stairs, etc.
• Make sure there is nothing you might
trip on—toys, furniture, or loose rugs,
for example. Also, be aware of
children and pets in the area. If
necessary, move objects or people
out of the play space.
• Don’t forget to look up. Be aware of
light xtures, fans, and other objects
overhead when assessing the play space.
While playing:
• Stay far enough away from the
television to avoid contact.
• Keep enough distance from other
players, bystanders, and pets. This
distance may vary between games, so
take account of how you are playing
when determining how far away you
need to be.
• Stay alert for objects or people you
might hit or trip on. People and
objects can move into the area during
gameplay, so always be alert to your
surroundings.
Make sure you always have good
footing while playing:
• Play on a level oor with enough
traction for game activities.
• Make sure you have appropriate
footwear for gaming (no high heels,
ip ops, etc.) or are barefoot, if
appropriate.

CHOOSE A LOCATION FOR YOUR SENSOR
For the best play space and sensor
performance, place your sensor between 2
and 6 feet (0.6 and 2 meters) high, the closer
to the low or high limit, the better.
Also:
• Place the sensor on a stable surface.
• Make sure the sensor is aligned with the
center of your TV, and close to the front
edge of the table or shelf.
• Do not put the sensor on your console.
• Do not place the sensor on or in front of a
speaker or a surface that vibrates or
makes noise.
• Keep the sensor out of direct sunlight.
• Do not use near any heat sources. Use the
sensor within its specied operating
temperature range of 41 °F – 95 °F
(5 °C – 35 °C). If the sensor is exposed to an
environment outside its prescribed range,
turn it off and allow the temperature to
stabilize within the specied range before
using the sensor again.
important
Only adjust the sensor location by moving
the base. Do not adjust the sensor viewing
angle by hand, by tilting the sensor on its
base. After setup is complete, let the sensor
motors adjust the viewing angle, or you risk
damaging your sensor.
WARNING
Arrange all cables and cords so that
people and pets are not likely to trip
over or accidentally pull on them as they
move around or walk through the area.
When the sensor and console are not in
use, you may need to disconnect all
cables and cords from the sensor and
console to keep them out of the reach of
children and pets. Do not allow children
to play with cables and cords.
WARNING
Avoid Glare
To minimize eyestrain from glare, try the
following:
• Position yourself at a comfortable
distance from your television or
monitor and the Kinect sensor.
• Place your television or monitor and
Kinect sensor away from light sources
that produce glare, or use window
blinds to control light levels.
• Choose soothing natural light that
minimizes glare and eyestrain and
increases contrast and clarity.
• Adjust your television or monitor
brightness and contrast.

You can position your console horizontally or vertically, whichever you prefer. However, if you
change your console’s orientation, make sure that it is turned off with no disc in the tray.
However you position your console, make sure to not block any ventilation openings or the
IR receiver.
Prevent the Console from
Falling
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits
someone, especially a small child, it
could cause serious injury. To reduce the
risk of such injuries and damage to the
Xbox 360 console, set up the console
according to these instructions. Place the
console on a surface that:
• Is at and level.
• Is stable and not likely to tip over.
• Allows all the feet of the console to
be in contact with the surface.
• Is not likely to allow the console to
slip or slide off.
• Is clean and free of dust and debris.
If the surface or console feet become
dirty or dusty, clean them with a dry
cloth. If the console is positioned
vertically, put it on a surface where it is
not likely to fall if it tips over.
Arrange all cables and cords so that
people and pets are not likely to trip
over or accidentally pull on them as they
move around or walk through the area.
When the console is not in use, you may
need to disconnect all cables and cords
from the front and rear of the console to
keep them out of the reach of children
and pets. Do not allow children to play
with cables and cords.
Prevent the Console from
Overheating
Do not block any ventilation openings on
the console or power supply. Do not place
the console or power supply on a carpet,
bed, sofa or other soft surface that may
block ventilation openings. Do not place
the console or power supply in a conned
space, such as a bookcase, rack or stereo
cabinet, unless the space is well ventilated.
Don’t stack any items, including other AV
equipment, on top of the console.
Do not place the console or power supply
near any heat sources, such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves or ampliers.

• Do not connect any other devices
between the power supply unit and
the Xbox 360 console or between the
power cord and the power supply unit.
To avoid damaging the power cords and
power supply:
• Protect the power cords from being
walked on.
• Protect cords from being pinched or
sharply bent, particularly where they
connect to the power outlet, the
power supply unit and the console.
• Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend or
otherwise abuse the power cords.
• Do not expose the power cords to
sources of heat.

audio, make sure the receiver is turned on and
the output in your console’s audio settings is set
correctly. Don’t connect both the included AV
cable and the HDMI AV cable to the console at
the same time. If you’re using an AV receiver or
digital audio (S/PDIF), try connecting standard
audio directly to your TV.

Poor-Quality Sound
Check the AV connection. Play Dolby® Digital
audio only on audio systems that support
Dolby Digital. Select the audio output that is
supported by your system or TV: stereo or
Dolby® Surround for stereo speakers, mono for
monaural speakers. If sound is coming from
only one speaker, check that all audio cables are
connected correctly.
Sensor Doesn’t Work
• Make sure cables are connected. When
used with an original Xbox 360 console,
make sure the sensor is connected to the
back USB port, and the USB/power cable
is plugged in. The light on the front of the
sensor will light up when the sensor is on.
• Make sure the sensor is in a well-
ventilated area.
• If the sensor software hasn’t been set up,
insert the sensor software disc for a
system update.
Sensor Doesn’t See Player
• Play in the sensor’s play space.
• Turn on lights to brighten the play space.
• Prevent lights, including sunlight, from
shining directly on the sensor.
• Try wearing different clothing that
contrasts with the background of your
play space.
• Clean the sensor lens with a dry cloth.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the
sensor’s viewing angle.
Sensor Loses Player
Try leaving and reentering the play space if
the sensor has stopped tracking you.
Sensor Doesn’t Hear Player
• Don’t place the sensor near sources of
vibration, TV speakers, or other audio
sources.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the
sensor’s microphone array.

Sensor Motors Don’t Adjust Sensor
Viewing Angle
• Make sure cables are connected and the
sensor light is on. When used with an
original Xbox 360 console, the sensor
must be connected to the back USB port,
not a front USB port, and the USB/power
cable must be connected to a power
outlet.
• Make sure the sensor’s motion isn’t
blocked by anything.
• Don’t tilt your sensor on its base or adjust
the sensor viewing angle by hand. Let the
sensor motors adjust the viewing angle
automatically, or you risk damaging your
sensor.
Game, Movie, or Music Doesn’t Start
Play only supported discs (Xbox 360 games,
audio CDs, and DVD movies). Clean the disc.
Insert the disc fully and close the disc tray. To
bypass the Xbox Dashboard and start discs
automatically, change the startup console
system setting.
Disc Doesn’t Eject
Disconnect your console from power and
position it horizontally. Insert a straightened
paper clip into the round hole on the left side of
the console, near the front, between the
ventilation slats. The tray will eject slightly, and
you can pull the tray all the way out by hand.
Power Light Flashes
The console power button should glow solid
green while the console is on and ash when
you press the eject button. If it ashes
differently during operation, follow these steps:
• Flashes red: The console is too hot and
will not play games until cooled down.
Place the console in a well-ventilated area
away from other heat sources. Once it
cools, the ashing will stop and the
console can be played. For more
information, see “Position Your Xbox.”
• Solid red: Follow the instructions on the
screen to correct the problem.
• Solid red, no on-screen instructions:
Internal problem that requires service.
Visit www.xbox.com/support to request
service.
Wireless Controller Doesn’t Work
Press the Xbox Guide button to turn on the
wireless controller, then connect it to your
console (see “Connect Additional
Controllers”).
If lights spin longer than 15 seconds when
connecting:
• Move the controller closer to the console.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh.
• Keep the console and controller at least
three feet away from large metal objects,
such as le cabinets and refrigerators.
• Metallic decorations or stickers on the
console or controller can interfere with
wireless controller performance. Remove
decorations and try connecting again.
• Make sure the front of the console is
positioned in the direction of the
controller and away from nearby walls.
• Cordless phones (2.4 GHz), wireless LANs,
wireless video transmitters, microwave
ovens, some mobile/cell phones, and
Bluetooth headsets can interfere with the
operation of the controller. Turn these off
or unplug them and retry connecting.
• If nothing else works, turn off your
console, remove and reinsert the batteries
into the controller, then reconnect the
controller to the console.
