Hey Setu,

Great guide.

I have some queries regarding this connectivity. Is it possible for you to mail me your contact details? or, you could just PM me on consoul.in, where my display name is flyingmachine.

Thanks!

These cables are pretty cheap over there. And I bought the Xbox 360 HD VGA cable from consoul.in gaming forum. These cables are pretty cheap over there.

It has a monitor like RGB cable which goes to my LCD TV's PC/RGB in connector and supports 1080p video. It also has a TOSLINK optical out. I use a monster THX certified optical cable which I bought from US to connect to my Onkyo HT. If you have a Xbox 360 with HDMI out which you directly use to connect to your TV, you might have to buy the Xbox 360 HDMI cable kit. It comes with a connector which has optical audio out port and lets you use the HDMI cable for video. Otherwise, you can buy the Xbox 360 HD RGB cable or HD component cable kit. Both have optical out ports for 5.1 digital audio. A good quality optical cable in India should cost around 800 to 1000 rupees. Please stay away from Bandridge cables. I had to get my bandridge optical cable replaced 5 times before I switched to monster. Cables are usually costly in retail stores. Try on eBay. Best bet is to ask any friend coming from the US to get a monster one. I use the Xbox 360 HD VGA connector.
