could be what input your wires are in on back of tv. there is usually more than one input for aux. try changing input select/aux on remote. example: line 1,line 2, aux, dvd, vcr,s-video, etc. don't know if it will help, but that usually happens with me.

lol that's funny

usually near the audio wires is the video and you might have put the video cable in the wrong spot on the back of the tv

If your using your VCR you might have to change the tv/video on the VCR and have the wires going to the IN

Are you sure you are using AV cables and not component? I accidentally had those on separate channels before. Also, the wire that connects the cables to the tv, on the xbox end has a little switch that switches btw HD and non HD. If you don't have an HD tv and it is set to HD you will not be able to see it.

tweak the cord and try to keep it steady for it to stay and you might get it. Something might have came loose in your xbox
