Hello,

I looked up your projector on the Acer website. And it looks like it supports the analog vga connection. This is the type of connection that I use with my xbox 360 and monitor. I'm thinking that it could be a resolution issue. Maybe if you check under system settings and make sure that the resolution is set right. But I would recommend getting the vga cable for the xbox 360. That way, you can play your games and movies in HD. Because your projector goes up to 600x800. But you can only get that high resolution with a vga cable. However, you should still be able to use your projector with the standard composite video cable.

I hope this helps, ask if there is anything you don't understand or I have not made clear.

Oops, I made a mistake.

where I said "Because your projector goes up to 600x800."
It actually goes up to 800x600, so you can't get 720p out of it. You may be able to set it at that, but it will down scale it or whatever. If you go with vga it will probably have a 800x600 setting.

Sorry for that mistake...
