I was looking on the internet to find a way to have both my hdmi cable and my av cables in at the same time, and the only way i found was to take off the casing of the av cable (the part that plugs into the xbox), and i was just wondering if this was dangerous, could it damage the wires or the console itself.

Please Help

Does that actually do anything different? I'm not that technical, but it sounds unnecessary

Er...Why would you want this happenstance? The HDMI cable does what the A/V cable does with much better performance. And yeah, I wouldn't take the casing off of the cables, that's never been a good idea unless you're making a homemade adapter. But there's really no reason to have both plugged in. Throw the A/V cable in a drawer, keep the HDMI plugged in, and have at.

Erm...Sit in you chair, and have the HDMI plugged into the TV and accompanying sound equipment? The console is really not designed to try and export two simultaneous signals of different strength and variety, sorry. It would be like baking cookies and cake in the same pan--you sacrifice a lot of both at the expense of either. Not to mention the possibility of breaking the pan (i.e., the console).

Blah blah blah everyone, I think the more important issue is that he will probably burn his house to the ground if he does something wrong.

Thats bad, and probably worse than losing the Xbox.

it wont damage the console and cables are replaceble (if its a Nintendo that never changed their cables or newer console)
