Changing From Pal-50 To Pal-60 'blind' Options

[beardyone]

Hi all,

After messing with my 360 settings trying to achieve the best resolution using VGA on my LCD TV I managed to reset my box to default settings, meaning it was reverted back to PAL-50.

My girlfriend almost killed me because she couldn't play AstroPop! But you can't change your PAL settings if you have the VGA cable connected as we all know.

Sooooo. After taking my LCD off its wall mount, connecting the standard AV cable to the box, switching it to TV, connecting the video lead to my TV input, changing the box back to PAL-60, re mounting my TV on the wall, swapping back to the VGA lead on the box and finally being able to save my neck I figured I'd jot down the key press sequence needed to change to PAL-60 if you can't see the menu on your TV/Monitor.

If I help even one person who had the same unique problem as me then I'll be happy. I had a good ten minute google search and couldn't find it anywhere else so here it is.

Just dig out the supplied AV cable and stick it in the back of the box, switch it to TV then...

-Turn on box.
-Press Right x4
-Press A
-Press A
-Press Down
-Press Down
-Press A
-Press Up
-Press A
-Press Up
-Press A

Voila, back to PAL-60 and no need to crawl round the back of your telly to reach your Scart or Video inputs. Cheerio
