I recently got an xbox slim 250gb one. I have a questions though, i bought 360 hd component cable off amazon so i can record with my pvr and use my px21 but when i plug the cable in the xbox the sound works through my headset but on the xbox when i click 720p or 1080i it doesnt think its hd it just goes back to 480 which is unplayable. I looked on seller page on amazon and it got very bad reviews but some good reviews. Is there something else i have to do or are the wires just dodgy?

do xbox hd component cables actually give hd picture quality on the new xbox slims or have i just bought bad ones

At least I can fight
Have you changed the settings on your Xbox360 to HD (720 & 1080)?

Link me to the Amazon page if you would so I can check out the component cables. Just to tell if they are of quality or not. If they are outputting 480 though, then 720 should work.

I went on the xbox console settings, selected 720 and 1080i trying them both and soon as i select one it reverts back to 480

Here is the link to the exact cable i bought, look at the reviews though :/

i got energizer component cables that have outputs for xbox 360 ps3 and wii and they work on my slim with my pvr. i used 1080i on it and it stayed plus i have my px 21's hooked up so i dont know what else it could be other than the cables not working
