Umm I have an idea.

It might be out putting a signal your tv won't accept. Here's a suggestion. Switch the signal to TV on the part that plugs into the back of the 360. and send the signal 480i to the tv. While in the tv part, go to the display settings on the HDTV output and change it to what ever your tv will except. I.E. 1080i vs. 1080p. Just a suggestion as one of my friends brought over his tv and the settings were still on 1080p on his 360 and wouldn't display on my tv at 1080i. And since there was no picture, we had no idea how to change it. So change it to TV output and not HDTV output and go to the display settings in the 360

Man It Work Thanks you thank you forgot about the switch if i want to have it at 1080p settings i would have to buy the elite one that has the hdmi cable in return can run it at 1080p and since I have the one with the component cables in can only produce 1080i signal..correct?

Correct. I have the same model version, not the elite, one you do. Bought it June 2006 and red ring of death free since then...Manf April of 2006. I was one of the lucky ones (knock on wood) I'm glad I helped you out. The first time this happedned to me, I was WTF. Then after my friend left, I just did some experimenting. So yeah. But your issue just seemed to be with switching to HD output. So yeah.

Please tell me that you also own a Blu-ray player of some sort... be it a standalone or PS3?

Component can handle 1080p, but the Panasonic's won't handshake with it and I think the 360 only outputs it on the non-HDMI sets through VGA.
Most Samsung and HP TV's have 1080p component inputs.

The original Professional models did not have HDMI.

It was added later.
