This is a must with today's new flat panel TVs. The old cable that came with the XBox made the picture all fuzzy. This new adapter provides a crystal clear picture.
I bought this primarly for the optical audio output. I've set up the XBMC for digital output, now I can stream dolby digital and DTS. Sound is great compared the the rca output, specially when using DTS. The bonus part is the s-video, although there is not much improvement over rca video cable, the image seams to have more contrast and sharper. No longer need my DVD player.
So i bought it. Don't get the monster cables it's too pricy. I bumped into "monster cables" but they are too expensive. It's a bargain. It does have an optical out. At first i'm not sure if it actually does have an optical out.
So i went to my local gamecrazy store and checked it out. At first i look around in trhe web. I bought the spherex 5.1 surround for the x box and i found out that you will have to have somekind of an adapter in order for you to connect your x box to the receiver. It would cost me another $ 80 or more. Then i saw this advance av pack.
Get this one instead. And it's totally worth it, for under 20 bucks. But you couldn't actually see it in the pictures. So i thought, i have no choice but to get it.
For a short while though the sound was very good,if you have a spare optical output this is the goods of xbox. So unfortunatly I disconnected the xbox's optical output and reconnected it to the dvd player since it plays movies much clearer. The only problem I had with this product is that because my reciever only has one optical input and one coaxial input it meant robbing my dedicated dvd player of it's precious optical input. The xbox is now connected via standered stereo plugs, on my reciever I merly put the xbox on dolby pro logic and the surround experiance was still very good. And if some of you are wondering why I didn't get the high definition pack it's because my flat screen tv only has one component video reserved for the dvd player. The xbox sounded very good playing games, but suddenly movies lost their impact.
With the Advance AV pack, the optical or coax cable can plug directly into the connector without the purchase of any other equipment. Don't worry about the monster cable connections. It's nice and it's not expensive. If you want a digital audio conection with or without the S-video hookup, this is the product to purchase. It really won't provide you with the sound quality that the offical X-box digital AV pack audio connection would provide.
