-Reformat Hard Drive 

**WARNING** Reformatting the hard drive will delete all of 

your saved games and soundtracks. 

If you must reformat your X-Box's hard drive, go to 

Settings > System Info 

and press Y, Up (left stick), Down (left stick), X, A. 



-Music Videos:

Insert any audio CD and play it from the music screen. 

When the music starts playing, you can see an animation in 

the jewel(nice). To make this full screen you have to press 

Y and then press X. To return to the track selection just 

press any other button. 



-Voices:

When the dash is started just leave it alone for a short 

time. The screen will begin to get dark, and you will begin 

to hear sounds. One of these sounds is an electronic voice. 



-Hidden 'Thank You!' FMV Sequence:

Insert any audio CD and then stop the CD as it begins to 

play from the CD player screen. Press B and then select 

"Copy" and press A. Choose the "Select All" option and then 

press A and select the "Copy" option. Create a new 

soundtrack and enter "<>" as a name. Select "Done" and 

press A. 



-Reset parental controls 

Go to "Settings" and highlight the "Parental Control" 

option. Then, press X, Y, L, X at the passcode screen to 

reset the parental control setting to the default value.



-In-game reset

Hold start + back for several seconds



-Playing burned music discs 

Burn music onto a CD-RW (not a CD-R) disc, and close the 

session when you burn the CD. Place it in your X-Box and 

rip it. Note: This also works with .MP3 files. The Xbox can 

store .MP3s and replay them later and saves a lot of space 

when compared to the .WAV files that are standard on audio 

discs.



-Psychedelic Effects

This can only be activated while a CD or a Soundtrack is playing. 

Nothing will happen if it is stoped or paused. While the song is 

playing, hold the Y button, then press X. A psychedelic image will 

fill the screen, leaving you mesmerized. To exit this mode, 

hit any button.



-Console name 

Each Xbox console has a "name" assigned to it at the time 

of manufacture. To view the name of your system, play Halo 

and link it to another Xbox and choose a linked play party. 

The Xboxs will have names above their symbols in the 

pre-game stat screen. To change your name, play challenge 

mode in Dead Or Alive 3. Successfully complete challenge 

mode and you will be prompted to enter a record name. Enter 

the name that you wish to change your pre-assigned Xbox 

name to. This will now be the title your Xbox is referred 

to during linked play. Note: This will only work one time, 

so be sure that you enter the name you wish to permanently 

have for your console. To see your Xbox name easily, start 

Halo, go into multi-player mode, choose "Split Screen", 

"Profile", and "Location". After all that is done, there 

will be a screen that reads "Waiting for more players". 

The picture of the Xbox is directly above your profile 

name, and above your picture will be a word. That word will 

be used as your name when XBox goes online. This works best 

when there is only one controller plugged into the Xbox, so 

the multi-player game will not start before you see your 

name.
