I tried two different sets of cables and neither work.
I looked up the manual online and it says that the back rca connections are inputs. Nothing about the front "Gameport" though. Heres the pdf if you want to take a look. http://157.254.235.130/public/F19430_ib.pdf
Does this mean that I'd need a vcr so then I can get outputs from that? I cant really swap the xbox cables because they are the original xbox wires with the specific xbox end. It has to be something with a vcr, don't you think?
Follow Ups:
Sounds like your TV doesn't have audio out. You'll need a hi-fi VCR for the audio and just connect the video to TV.
Connect whatever source [cable,satellite,etc.] to the VCR.
Alright so the vcr will have to have inputs from the tv and then a set of outputs to go to the receiver? Do I have that right? What inputs on the receiver do the outputs from the vcr go? all i've got left on the receiver is tape 1 and 2 and phono. the cd input is for xbox. Does it sound like I'll have to choose?
Since your TV does not have audio outputs, the only source of TV audio signal you have would be the audio out jacks of the VCR. The VCR has a tuner built in, as well as audio reception circuits. To get the benefit of improved audio from your receiver and speakers, you will need to tune your TV programs with the VCR and use your TV for the picture only (turn the volume all the way down).
Connect a coax cable from the VCR video out to the TV input and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4, whichever the VCR video output is set to. Connect RCA cables from the audio out jacks on the VCR to the Tape 1 input jacks (not the output jacks) of the receiver. Select Tape 1 on the receiver to hear the TV audio through your system, and use the receiver volume control to regulate sound level.
Note that you will need a VCR that works with your source. If you have a broadcast antenna, be aware that analog TV is going to disappear shortly, and you will either need a digital converter, or to sign up for cable or satellite service. Old VCRs may not be able to tune the channels present on the cable or satellite box.
Please also note that none of this will provide multple audio channels for surround-sound. It will only provide Left and Right Stereo audio channels.
Update: I've got a vcr and I've got sound through the speakers from the tv. The only problem is that as the video channel on the tv changes, the audio stays the same unless I manually change the channel on the vcr. I cant find anything on the tv menu or vcr about programming. The only thing possibly programming related on the vcr is a easy set up and channel tracking buttons. Nothing happens when i hit the easy set up button though. I have the vcr set up to channel 3 on the back. Whats next?
