Xbox 360 HD connections.

I recently bought a Xbox 360 premium which came with a HD-AV connector, i have connected this to my HD ready TV which according to the manual can receive up to 1080i. The Xbox Elite comes with a HDMI connector, whats the difference between this and the HD-TV connector?

Does the HDMI connector just give me 5.1 surround sound and make no difference to the picture? with the HD-AV connector the sound is coming through 5 speakers anyway. Am l missing something or basically does the HDMI mean you just get the same thing but its one simple connection without all the phono leads etc that come with the HD-AV.

Cheers

 

Not sure.

I just used the normal three leads because the HDMI made my screen go blue after a bit.

 

You still recieve a HD image regardless of the leads used.
Are you on xbox live yet?

 

RE: Not sure.

Aye just plugged in the three leads and the two red and white audio leads leaving the yellow one free. Got surround sound through the home cinema and a HD picture. Cant understand why theres so many different connections available that deliver the same thing.

 

I think the HDMI may be of a better quality? nt

 

No not yet, only got it last week. Am l right in thinking you have to purchase the Xbox Gold and create a user etc.. l'm connecting to the internet through one of those Vodafone wireless modems, any problems connecting with these? how do i go about it?

 

Yes you need a gold acc/ to play online.
You should be fine to set ip up.
Very simple on screen instructions

 

Cheers mate.
