Hey guys, i just got the HD dvd drive, it does not work when i put a hd dvd in? nor does it turn anything on eject anything. after reading this i haven't figured it out: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemsetup/xbox360/accessories/universalmediaremote.htm

do i HAVE to be using a television?
i have my 360 plugged in through VGA into my widescreen LG monitor.
Can i not use the remote to play pause, eject my dvds?

please help, this is a 30$ product that is currently useless and i would greatly appreciate some help!

thanks!

In order to use the HD DVD player you first need to put the disc that came with it in your Xbox (might be a couple updates for it too at this point). Then you should be good to go. As for using the remote, it will play/pause/fast forward DVDs and HD DVDs, though it won't eject the HD DVD drive. Which is kinda annoying.

Program the Universal Media Remote for Your TV
Before your remote can work with your TV, you need to program it for use with your particular brand of TV. Two methods exist for programming your remote: manually entering your TV code and scanning to find your TV code.

To enter a TV code:

Turn on your TV and point the remote toward it.
Press and hold the TV and OK buttons simultaneously for two seconds. All buttons on the remote will then light up for two seconds, after which only the numeric TV buttons (1–12) will remain lit.
Enter the code for your TV.

To find a remote code for your TV, see TV Codes for the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote
Press the TV button again to save the code and exit. All buttons on the remote will blink three times to confirm your selection.
Note

After 30 seconds of inactivity, the remote will exit TV programming mode. Pressing any button besides 0–9, CH+, or CH– returns the remote to its original settings.

Press the TV button again to restore full TV/Xbox 360 operability.
To scan for a TV code:

Turn on your TV and point the remote toward it.
Press and hold the TV and OK buttons simultaneously for two seconds. All buttons on the remote will then light up for two seconds, after which only the numeric TV buttons (1–12) will remain lit.
Press the CH+ or CH– button to send a series of off commands to your TV. Repeat until the TV turns off.
Note

Give your TV enough time to respond to the off command after each button press. Some TVs take more time to react to off commands than others.

Press the TV button to save the code and exit. All buttons on the remote will blink three times to confirm the code.
Press the TV button again to restore full TV/Xbox 360 operability.
Note

If, after setting the TV code, you find that the remote is not functional or has incomplete or inaccurate TV functionality, try a different code for your TV manufacturer or scan for another code.

if you had read the first post you would have seen i stated that didn't help me

i ended up overthinking i guess and realized i should try the wireless controller sync button on the 360 while holding the X down on the remote. and it worked!
