Surround Sound Help

[DD-KGann]

Okay, I have the Xbox High-Def cables, and I was wondering how to plug it into my surround sound. I have a Panasonic 1400W Home Entertainment System, and I can't figure out how to make it work. It has the ports in the back and all, (Red, Blue, Green, Red, and White), but I can't get it to work. Not only does the surround sound not work, but I can't get the video to show up. It's like it's not even plugged in!

Help.

Ok, little update. The audio is coming through fine...but I can't get the video to work. I have the cables pluged into the correct ports, and on the back of my DVD player, it says "Component Out", and that's where I plug it in.

What is going on?!

leave all the cables in the TV except for the red & white.those are the audio cables...plug them into the surround sound and see what happens

That's the problem. I don't have my HDTV upstairs, so the only ports it has is the Red White and Yellow.

But I'll try that idea, thanks for the tip!

Well, that worked! Kind of a redneck way of doing it, but hey, at least it works for now!

Or, just buy a modulator... like I did.

You're not actually getting any surround sound from the red+white phono cables.

If you want surround, you'll need the Advanced or HD AV pack, and a TOSLINK cable running to your home theater receiver.

I do have the HDTV cables. And yes, it is infact "Surround Sound". I called MS and asked them, and they did a simple walk through.

When someone shoots from behind me, to the left... I hear it from my rear, left speaker. I beleive that is surround, lol. No offense, I am glad people have actually come to help!!
