play ipod through tv - help
Footsore
26-12-2006
I bought an ipod AV cable which is supposed to play both the music from the ipod through a hi fi system and also play ipod video through the tv. Now i plugged in into the back of the little portable with the 3 wires going into a scart adapter and nothing happened. Tried all the channels on the tv including AV.

Then tried it on the big samsung with the AV inputs on the side and selected the AV on the list of imputs for the tv including dvd, component and HDMI but no joy. Tried it with all wires in (red yellow white) and also with just the red and yellow on a song but nothing works.

ANY IDEAS?

have you checked the Video Settings on your Ipod?
TV OUT needs to be set to either ASK or ON (Ask will ask if you want to show the video on the TV) Also set video to PAL if you are in the UK.

Also have you bought a general AV lead or an IPOD specific lead? Because I found with a non- IPOD lead I had to swap the yellow with one of the others to get it towork (I can't remember now though if it was the red or white lead!)
