Watching Videos on a TV Connected to iPod classic

If you have an AV cable from Apple, you can watch videos on a TV connected to
iPod classic. First you set iPod classic to display videos on a TV, then connect
iPod classic to your TV, and then play a video.

Use the Apple Component AV Cable, the Apple Composite AV Cable, or the Apple AV
Connection Kit. Other similar RCA-type cables might not work. You can purchase the
cables at www.apple.com/ipodstore or your local Apple store.

To set iPod classic to display videos on a TV:

m

Choose Videos > Settings, and then set TV Out to Ask or On.

If you set TV Out to Ask, iPod classic gives you the option of displaying videos on TV or
on iPod classic every time you play a video. If you set TV Out to On, iPod classic displays
videos only on TV. If you try to play a video when iPod classic isn’t connected to a TV,
iPod classic displays a message instructing you to connect to one.

You can also set video to display full screen or widescreen, and set video to display on
PAL or NTSC devices.

To set TV settings:

m

Choose Videos > Settings, and then follow the instructions below.

To use the Apple Component AV Cable to connect iPod classic to your TV:

1

Plug the green, blue, and red video connectors into the component video input
(Y, Pb, and Pr) ports on your TV.

You can also use the Apple Composite AV Cable. If you do, plug in the yellow video
connector into the video input port on your TV. Your TV must have RCA video and
audio ports.
