Tech question (I really need someone who knows their stuff)

Question

Hi! So I am currently in the market for a vintage Xbox, and I've been seriously considering purchasing a 360 (which came after the original Xbox in 2005). Here's the thing- I also own a vintage CRT television and I'm not sure how I would go about hooking it up. My only connectors are a yellow and white for audio and visual, but I DO NOT have a red connector. My TV is a early 2000's (2003, I think?) Magnavox CRT with a 13 inch glass screen, and it's connectors are in the front towards the bottom right. I haven't looked at the back yet, but from what I remember it doesn't really have anything on the back to connect to except a USB-looking-thingy. Is it possible I can still hook up a 360 to my TV with only the yellow and white connectors? Ik I'll need an adapter, but which one?

Thanks so much!! :D

Answer 1

Yes, you can connect the yellow and white RCA cables (without the red), and it should be fine.

Yellow wire is used for the video signal and white is used for the audio signal. Red is just there to improve sound quality (stereo vs mono), so red is usually not necessary. Hope this helps.

Your xbox 360 should come with a wire with the yellow/white wires.

I don't know. Sorry, more of a Minecraft person.

Answer 3

I’m not good at hardware (I’m more of a software person), but maybe try to find a first-party adapter?
