Xbox One

The most direct setup option is to connect your cable or satellite set-top box to your Xbox One with an HDMI cable, and then connect your Xbox One to your TV with another HDMI cable.

Note Video output for the Xbox One console is HDMI only.

• This is the most direct path and best for entertainment systems using the TV speakers or external speakers connected to the TV.
• Your theater system will need to support audio over HDMI for this configuration.

With an audio/video (A/V) receiver, the best and most direct option is to connect the devices sequentially:

1. Connect your set-top box HDMI output to the Xbox One HDMI input.
2. Connect the Xbox One HDMI output to your A/V HDMI input.
3. Connect your A/V HDMI output to the HDMI input on your television.

Notes

• This option requires that all devices support audio over HDMI.
• Surround sound from your set-top box will not be passed through the Xbox One.
• When you perform this kind of basic setup with an A/V receiver, you're passing both audio and video through another device. Depending on your equipment, there's a small risk of audio or video lag.

This is a slightly more complicated configuration that may require cables other than HDMI cables. This option provides full surround sound from your television set-top box. It's best for older A/V receivers that either don't have an HDMI port or don't support audio over HDMI.

1. Connect your set-top box HDMI output to the Xbox One HDMI input.
2. Connect the Xbox One HDMI output to the HDMI input on your television.
3. Connect the audio output from the television to the audio input on the sound bar using either HDMI or optical S/PDIF cables.

You can pass surround sound from your set-top box to your TV or A/V receiver directly from your Xbox One console. Here's how:

1. Scroll left on the Home screen to open the guide.Note Double tapping the Xbox button will open the guide from any other screen on the console.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select All settings.
4. Select TV & OneGuide.
5. Select Audio & video.
6. Change the audio option from Stereo to Surround sound.
7. Select Restart now. Your console will restart and enable surround sound from your console to your TV or A/V receiver.
