Hi,I want to connect my Xbox to pal 60 and how do I connect my Xbox to a digital surround sound system and another one is can I change my Xbox name Thanks in advance

I've never had to deal with PAL, so I can't help you on that front. As for a digital sound system, the HD video adapter also has an optical output.

And most importantly, my name is also Andrew King, though I go by my middle name

you can change your 360 name through the 360 interface. It does cost 10 dollars to do so. But, by changing your name it moves your friends list over and changes your name for all your friends automatically. You also get to keep your saved games and your achievements...

I belive you do it by hitting the guide button, then hitting "a" over your name.

Also, do you want to system link the xbox and 360 together so you can play games? Like, Halo 2 across the network? If so, I'd believe you'd only need a system link cable (which I believe is just a normal crossover cable). However, you'd either need two HDTVs or a NTSC TV (for the NTSC XBOX) and a PAL TV (for the PAL 360). a NTSC device won't play nice with a PAL display and vice versa.

Here are directions (straight from xbox.com) to hook your XBOX to a digital surround sound system...

How to hook up your Xbox to a Dolby Digital Decoder


Xbox® is the first and only game console to support in-game Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound. This lets you experience all the game sounds from your home theater system in full 5.1 surround.
Before you get started, make sure you've got the following:

• A digital audio output.
• A free optical digital input on your receiver.
• An optical digital audio cable.

Digital Audio Output
Your Xbox didn't come standard with a digital audio output, but you're gonna need one for this to work, so hightail it to the store for the Advanced AV Pack or High Definition AV Pack, both of which have digital audio outputs. Microsoft makes both of them. You can also buy third-party AV cables for Xbox—but make sure they have a digital audio output.

Free Optical Digital Input
For this slammin' sound system to work properly, you need at least one free optical digital input on your receiver.

Ready to Hook It Up? Let's Go!

1. Connect the digital audio output to your Xbox.
2. Connect one end of the optical digital audio cable to the digital audio output on your Xbox and the other end to the optical digital input on your receiver.
3. Turn on your Xbox with no disc in the disc drive.
4. In the Xbox Dashboard, select Settings.
5. Select Audio.
6. You will see an Audio Mode screen that shows Dolby Digital and DTS status. Select Dolby Digital.
7. You will see the question "Does your stereo system support Dolby Digital Audio?" Select Yes.
8. You will see Dolby Digital Enabled in the audio screen.

Your Xbox is now ready for Dolby Digital gameplay. Insert a game disc and play!
