    okyou will probably have the component cable which is the RGB (red green blue) and the audio red/white leads

    the rgb is the picture its capable of analogue HD as the 360 does not have a digital output (hdmi)

    you will also need to connect the red and white leads for your audio but these will need to be the same connection as the RGB leads
    ie if you have more than 1 socket for the red/white make sure they are fitted into the correct ones

    im guessing your not useing a hd telly?
    make sure you connect the cable properly and flick the little switch on the 360 cable.

    edit: i just seen you are on a hd telly lol
    ok do you have a red green and blue sockets on the tv? if so use them and flick the switch to hdtv,
    if not then you should get a vga cable and connect that way.

    edit#2:: there should also be a menu on you tv that allows you to tweak the settings.
