Thread: Component to HDMI Output? Yamaha HTR-6260

Hi everyone...
Just recently purchased a Yamaha 6260 Receiver, and am attempting to have the component signal from my Xbox 360 output to the TV through the HDMI Out port.

(Hopefully I'm not being too vague or confusing here... I'm very new to the hands on aspects of the home theater world.)

Ok, so. The Xbox 360 is connected properly (according to the manual). It's using Component for video, and regular audio (Red/White). Component cables are connected into the AV1 set of ports, and the Audio is plugged into Audio1. I've gone into the options menu for Audio1 in order to tie it to the Video source plugged into AV1.

So far so good?

Apparently this unit is supposed to be able to convert that Component signal, and "simply" send it through the HDMI Out, to the TV. So, I've connected the TV of course to the HDMI Out.

Not getting any video however. Any ideas? I've been through the manual several times over trying to see if maybe there is some other kind of configuration in the options menu I have to set. So far I haven't come across anything that works.

I suppose I could just pick up a set of component cables and run them out to the TV? Was just thinking/hoping that the HDMI would be a bit more of an elegant and less cluttered solution.

Anyways, I've rambled enough, sorry everyone. Any help or tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No HDMI from the Xbox unfortunately. It's one of the older models before they upgraded to having HDMI out of the box on all of them.
