I've had a closer look at your picture, and I realise that when you say "the port under yellow says ypbpr" you actually mean the socket to the left of the yellow connector in the picture, not the label under the yellow connector in the picture!

I don't recognise the connector at all, but if it's labelled YPbPr and you can find an adapter to connect component to it then you might be in luck. Again, the manual for your TV should have the details you need. You'll still need a component cable for your Xbox (and you'll have to switch it to NTSC mode if you're in a PAL region).

thanks for your answers and i think i have luck because i checked online manual (its german sorry :D) and it says that I should have an "YUV" Adapter delivered with my tv to connect the green red and blue cables and red and white to the AUDIO L-R port (i think they mean the ports from picture)

ah yes i remeber it was exactly this one: http://cdn.idealo.com/folder/Product/29 ... en-yuv.png

No, it's analogue.

That connector looks like component, so all you need is an Xbox component cable and you can have higher definition video from your Xbox.

If you want to build your cable this is the pinout.
The conector is seen from the front with the cable in the back.

(dont forget to solder pin 6 to 18 and pin 7 to 19)

So keeping with that diagram, is there a way to have the original Composite A/V and have the Component attached (so you can enable HD mode)?

I meant the Metal sheild. I did the component mod to the composite cable and i cant get audio in NTSC Stereo (composite) Or Component (YPrPb) mode. Im looking into the issue.
