Before You Start

  1. 1
    Make sure that your set-top box or cable TV is connected to your Xbox. For a set-top box, connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI IN port on your Xbox, and the other end to the cable box. For over-the-air TV, make sure that the USB TV tuner is plugged into the Xbox, and that the coaxial cable is connected to an antenna.
  2. 2
    Plug in the Kinect or IR transmitter. They have separate ports. One has an image of a Kinect, another is labeled as IR.
    • The Xbox One S and Xbox One X do not have a Kinect sensor port but do have an IR sensor built-in.
