Modding The Xbox Into The Ultimate Multimedia Center

Audio Settings

As soon as digital output is activated, its three submenu items also become active. "Dolby Digital / DTS Multichannel Passthrough" is required if you have a 5.1 capable receiver hooked up to the Xbox.

Among other things, "My Music" lets you choose whether or not to search for CDs/titles on the Internet.

Screen Calibration

Once the video display has been set up successfully, numerous display-enhancing filters can be activated as desired (see below).
