There is no switch is there? Its set up from the menu system, 720 and 1080 and something else is in there. Its set to 1080 with a HD TV.

TBH I think more than anything its the damn TV, the picture is awful. I cant stand those LCD TV's, every one i've seen ahs left me un-impressed and pricey. I mean come on, why should i have to pay THAT MUCH for a TV that has worse picture quality than a cheaper one but is thinner?

Ok they DO look sexy when off... BUT COME ONE PEOPLE!

This is your component HD AV cable, which is very important for users of HD and non-HD TVs. Notice the little switch on it? This switch is a life or death switch! If you have an HD TV, the switch must be pushed to HD for you to receive a signal. It's a simple little switch, but it makes all the difference in the world. If you don't have an HD TV, then by all means, switch it to TV, so you can receive a signal. Essentially what Microsoft has done is to combine the traditional component cables (usually three wires, red, yellow and white) with a composite cable, which splits all AV into five cables for even more refined clarity and sound. If you don't get a signal and you're worried about stuff, remember the switch!

Um...is it me or is that paragraph just wrong?

"the traditional component cables (usuall three wires, red, yellow and white)"

"with a composite cable, which splits all AV into five cables for even more refined clarity and sound"

They switched component and composite. Apparently people do need the guide to know what's what.
