This is most likely a resolution thing, if you are switching tvs and one resolution is higher than the other, if this happens when you start the box up hold down the right trigger and the "Y" button, this will reset the resolution to the default settings

If all 4 rings are red that means that something isn't plugged in correctly. Try unplugging everything, then plugging them back in if you can't find what isn't plugged in.
Three flashing red lights around the Xbox 360 power button (nicknamed the "Red Ring of Death" or "Red Lights of Death" or "Red Ring of Doom"), instead of the one to four green lights indicating normal operation, represent an internal problem that requires service. Warning signs may include freeze-ups, graphical problems in the middle of gameplay, such as checkerboard or pinstripe patterns on the screen, and sound errors, and the console only responds to pressing the power button to turn it off. These events may happen once or several times until the hardware failure occurs, or not at all. If the console freezes occasionally, the error will not necessarily follow. The technical problems seem to affect some generations of consoles more than others. e.g. Xbox 360 60GB This error code is usually caused by failure of one or more hardware components, although it can indicate that the console is not receiving enough power from the power supply, which can either be due to a faulty power supply or if the power supply cable is not fully inserted into the console. The 3 flashing lights can also be caused by power surges; if the console is connected to an outlet that receives a power surge, it may have a failure and the 3 lights will appear as long as the console is plugged into the outlet. Turning off the console, unplugging all power cables and plugging them back in, and restarting the console will fix the issue in this case. hope this helps

if you want you can bypass the video instead of plugging it on your system feed it directly to your tv., you only need the white and red cables for your audio to work, red for right channel and white for left channel the yellow one is for video, you can directly plug it on your tv
3 red lights happens because the GPU and the CPU overheat and shut down to prevent damage, you will need to send it in to get it fixed, or you can fix it yourself using a good video guide
You should have audio, and not picture.
if its the G.P.U. video feed error
Ok swap the A/V cable for new .
turn on the box and turn up the volume on
the tv . now pull out the red or white plug slowley
till your diconected you should hear a buzzing
sound coming from your tv as you pull the plug
out . If not then the tv is on the wrong video in put
change the tv to video 1, 2 ,3,... till you hear and see
the picture.
check the cables
try using
one of the audio cables for video feed
i asune you are using
red white and yellow comisite cables
try changing the cables arround
like use red and yellow for audio and white for vid
if it works cables are shot
if this fails try using a different source for video feed
also make sure you are in the right ports for the cables such as video in and not the video out
The 360 was not properly tested before shipped to stores meaning it has alot of problems. It probably over heated(left on over night) which caused the dvd drive to overheat, frying the laser and or more. I suggest returning it to the store, or sell it on ebay and buy a used one. sorry I could help more, but as far as I know fixing this is risky and costly, I would have to say buy a new one or a different console.
