Xbox 360 compatibility issues: Why can't I download a game on my Xbox and be able to switch inputs and watch TV while it's downloading?

Guys I believe I was one of the first people who reported this issue....and eventually gave up on getting any help here....so I pieced together some info myself and solved the riddle. The older model elite and pro versions of the Xbox have some major issues with this receiver. The only way to avoid HDMI handshake issues is to run the HDMI from the Xbox straight to the TV and then run an optical audio cable to the receiver (this is not a bad solution neccesarily bc the Xbox can only output 5.1 audio as is the limitation for an optical audio cable - 7.1 is a PS3 thing bc it is HDMI 1.3a and Xbox 1.2) Anyhoo, I noticed that people with the new Slim Xbox's weren't having this problem. I went to the Xbox forums and found that with the old Xbox's this is a known problem and cannot be fixed. So I got a new Xbox Slim with Kinect. Before hooking it up, I found that the "BD" HDMI slot is the only one with HDMI Passthrough which helps a lot with HDMI handshake issues (this receiver has a 1.4 slot and the Xbox a 1.2 even the new Slim is 1.2). Now I have no problems whatsoever with Netflix movies cutting out or any other issues. So the only resolution is to get a newer model Xbox (Slim). Hope this helps and I wish someone would have been there to tell me that a long time ago to save me a lot of time

No it can't play original Xbox games "out of the box." I was able to mod mine so that it will. There are some YouTube videos on how to make a 360 backwards compatible. If you're good with computers it's not hard.You need a SATA-to-USB cable (such as the Xbox transfer cable but MAKE SURE it's for the slim as the other one won't fit) to hook it up to your computer. You download a program called "Xplorer 360" that can read and write to the HDD, and you download the partition that allows for playing original Xbox games, then you use that .bin file to run a restore on partition 2.After I did that, I popped the HDD back in and it plays Halo 2. Before it gave me the error message. No it can't play original Xbox games "out of the box." I was able to mod mine so that it will.

Try hooking the USB cord to the Xbox into any USB port on the Xbox along with the hdmi cord. That was the only way I got mine to do it- now it plays no problem.

I have Tivo, a PS3 and an Xbox 360. It works fine when I have just the Tivo and 360, but when I add the PS3 to the mix it won't switch back to the Tivo Box when powering down the PS3 unless I get up and press the button to manually switch back. I had to put my PS3 into a seperate HDMI port on the back of my TV while I run the Tivo and 360 off the switch. I haven't tried just the 360 and PS3 (w/ Tivo in separate TV HDMI port).

Yenner, Try switching to the HDMI input, and input the following: MENU &gt; System &gt; General &gt; Game Mode Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

It may or may not be helpful to you. I was successful in using the component video with the Wii. See if you can use the component video input to the tv using a different source other than the XBox 360 if you have not tried that already. If another source works, then it's definitely a setting in the Xbox as j.Howser has suggested.

Yes it is simply just an HDMI hub and switch. So if your Xbox connects with an HDMI cable then it should work.

I am not sure, my son has a xbox 360 but not an xbox one, however, I do have a son that lives away from me and has an x-box one. I will have him test it out. it maybe a couple of days before I will be able to get back with you on that.

The hard drive has nothing to do with being able to play an original Xbox game on the 360. Take a look at the wiki page for compatible games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360

It shouldn't effect any games that are installed on the xbox. If he already has a hard drive with installed games, he would have to swap them out to play or he can just re install them.

Hi danny, unfortunately....xbox one only accepts xbox one games. We cannot play xbox 360 games on it.

I have apps built into my TV via the blu-ray player. Also, the TV is connected to an Xbox with Internet connection. Hope this helps.

The only way to play 360 games on the Xbox One is to have a 360 and connect it via HDMI to the Xbox input. It still requires a 360 though.

If you are having trouble with the configuration try switching it with the switch on the side. Most games I believe are 'xinput' by default, but switching to 'dinput' may help.

Hey, I just checked mine out and you are able to switch the inputs with the button on the unit. I have mine hooked up to my PS3 and X-Box 360, so I generally only have one running at a time so it's not really an issue for me. But, I just turned them both on and it will default to the device plugged into input 1, but you can press the button on the unit and it will cycle through to input 2 and input 3. The only downside would be that you'd have to manually do it on the unit as this doesn't come with a remote. But, unless you're switching between them fairly often I don't see that it would really be an issue.
