I have an xbox360 premium and a 53" sony rear projection tv
(manufactured in 1999).  I use the xbox360 component cable to connect
to the component input on the tv.  When I switch the 360's multi-out
to the "HDTV" setting, I get an extremely blurred picture split in two
- vertically.  If I switch the setting to "TV", the picture looks
pretty good and is normal.  Am I acheiving at least 480p display, and
if not, is there anything I can do?

Hello mschust,

To answer your question, I need the exact model of the tv.

did you change the settings on the XBox 360 console to the HDTV output in the menu?

to use the HDTV setting you need a HDTV or at least a higher res tv. A
rear projection is not able to deal with full HD signal. Get a pc
monitor cheaper than an HDTV as they actually run at a much higher res
than tv's anyway if you really want a crisp pic.
