Connecting Xbox to NDX

Posted by: Matt Gear on 11 August 2015

Hi everyone

I'm trying to connect my Xbox to my NDX using the optical cable, but having some problems. I've enabled the opt1 input on the Naim app, but for some reason when I select the newly created input via the app, I get a message saying "Input disabled". I'm sure there must be a simple solution to this but can't figure it out. Has anyone else successfully connected the two units?

Thanks

Matt

Matt, and have you enabled the optical input on the NDX in the setup menu (spanner on the remote)

Hi Simon

I have. But there appear to be multiple coax/opt inputs which are independent from the "digital labelled" inputs. I'm assuming you need to assign one to the other but it doesn't seem to be working.

Matt you'll also want to be sure that the X-Box is sending out 'regular' PCM stereo, and not a 5.1 or some other format signal.  (At least I think this is right!  If you get nothing, or just hiss . . . it's the wrong format digital signal.  I don't know what the X-Box defaults to for digital output.)
