Gaming Chair Issues - Xbox 360

colly3

Hi I need some help please...

My son got a gaming chair and Turtle Beach MW3 headset for Christmas, headset's hooked up fine but I think we need some additional cable for the chair.

He's got a 360 slim type and there's only one port at the back which is currently being used by the headset (some extension thingies came with it) and these this whole bundle goes into the back of the tv.

I wasted half the day yesterday on the internet and going to Currys, Harvey Norman & Game looking for a cable or divine inspiration.... no joy.

As you'll have gathered, I'm probably the most un-technically minded person on planet earth but to sum up... what I think I'm looking for is some kind of extension / adaptor cable which links the chair wireless transmitter to the xbox.

I'd appreciate any help, thanks guys

What headset is it, what chair is it, and what connections are you dealing with?
Pics if possible would help.

I think you have everything you need.
The chair came with a pair of red and white cables (with the black adapters on the end). Connect those to the red and white cables of the turtle beaches, and then those to the red and white cables that come out of the xbox and into the back of the tv.

Actually take the black adapters from https://us.v-cdn.net/6034073/uploads/attachments/138907/186366.JPG
and plug the on to http://www.craicer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/tbbb.png

At this stage you're probably very sorry you replied!!:D

Ok, I've tried but still not getting anwhere. Ideally, I want to use the wireless set up but even if I go the wired route, there's still no way I can see of all these connections connecting up?

Sorry for the hassle!aaarrrrrggggghhhh.JPG

You do not need the red + white cables to plug into the tv any more (trust me, its easier). Unplug them and attach the black adapters in the previous photos to connect your last cable to what would plug into the scart.

No Joy unfortunately, I tried every combination, took the scart adaptor out, plugged the wires and then the transmitter in there, neither worked. There are 3 different bands on the transmitter and none worked when switched. No problem with the headset, it works fine no matter where it's connected, the bloody chair is a pain in the ass. When an i pod or phone is plugged in they work fine so I don't really think there's a problem with the chair.... it just doesn't like the xbox!!!

I give up.... patience is not something I'm blessed with!!!!

CORaven.... I bought a little lead in Smyths Toys for a tenner and hey presto! everything's working a dream.

Thanks for trying though )
