Message: [QUOTE="RReed43, post: 6354179, member: 167722"] I purchased and will be receiving the Fanatec CSR-E Wheel on Tuesday. One of the reasons for purchasing the wheel was so I could play Forza 4 in addition to GT5. I really, really like the way the tactile setup performs on GT5, so in preparation for the arrival of the CSR-E, I purchased an XBox 360 to integrate into my driving system. My Yamaha AV Receiver had another HDMI input so I simply added an HDMI lead from the XBox to the Yamaha. It is a simply manner to use the Yamaha remote to switch between the PS3 and the XBox. That left me to integrate the XBox into the tactile system. The XBox doesn't outwardly provide a multi audio output as is provided on the PS3. In fact there is a plastic protrusion on the standard AV plug provided by Microsoft which prevents pluging the AV lead and the HDMI lead into the XBox at the same time. I did some internet research and found someone had encountered this problem and modified the XBox plug. I decided to try the same thing. I used a saw and cut off the protrusion on the AV plug. I then plugged both the AV and HDMI leads into the Xbox. It worked just fine. I get the digital audio and video feed from the HDMI into my Yamaha receiver and I get an audio feed from the AV lead for my tactile system. The graphic equalizer makes it easy to handle the tactile signal. I use the tape monitor button to select either the PS3 feed or the XBox feed and the output is fed to the amplifiers for the tactile units. [/QUOTE]
