kofifi Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 i Have a d3 and was wondering if it was possible for the front aux to show video or if it is only for audio. If so when you got audio going through your speakers what do you have on the screen. My Screen is black with no video i cant even put my background picture on the aux2. Do i have to connect it through the back to get the video to show?? any answers will be very appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 The front input is audio and video. What kind of source do you have plugged in to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kofifi Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 i have my zune connected to it and i get the audio just fine but no video and i have gone into the settings to turn on the video on the zune to display on an external monitor. Also the correct source is aux2 and i have the settings on the D3 is set to video. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twostep Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 But, are you using the right cable?? there should be three notches, or bands, on the tip of the plug that goes into the D3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 If you'll notice, the video cable has 4 contacts on it... Left audio Right audio Video Ground While the audio cable has only 3 contacts on it... Left audio Right audio Ground Make sure you are using a video cable and not just an audio cable.

twostep Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 My bad, i always thought there was three for some reason. Guess i never counted the ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USRobo Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I bought one of these audio/video cables and it still did not work on the front input of the D3. The 6th Gen Ipod keeps looking for Apple device cable. Anyway to get around this using the front input of the D3 and 6th Gen 160Gig Ipod?

CamelTowing Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Ya, buy the white cable in the picture from the apple store. Turn on the front input in the menu and plug it in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USRobo Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Here's the problem. The cable from the Apple store has 3.5 plug for the Ipod and 3 RCA jacks, 2 audio and 1 video for the input however I need 3.5 plug for the input to the D3 vs the RCA plugs. How do I convert the 3 RCA's to 3.5 plug? Or does Apple sell a 3.5 to 3.5 A/V cable? Ya, buy the white cable in the picture from the apple store. Turn on the front input in the menu and plug it in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knight20 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I don't think that there is a cable out there that will go from 3.5mm a/v to 3.5mm a/v. Looks like you'll need the official apple video out cable and this: from pioneer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
diemaster Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 i dont remimber witch one but u can take a standard camcorder 3.5mm to composite cable. (like the apple ipod cable. and swap around the signals till u find the right combonation. for ex. the standard composite camcoder cable (again i dont remimber witch) but u can switch the red and yellow and it works.

USRobo Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Does anyone know what is in the Apple cable that is different from a regular cable? I bought a 3.5 to 3.5 a/v cable from ebay however the Ipod is looking for some type of signal. Must be a way to get around buying a $50 cable. i dont remimber witch one but u can take a standard camcorder 3.5mm to composite cable.

Looks like you'll need the official apple video out cable and this: from pioneer. actually there is a cable for 3.5mm av to 3.5mm av, it is one of the accessories offered for the d3 on the pioneer website. I have it ant it works fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USRobo Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 On the Pioneer site I only see this cable CD-RM10. Where is the 3.5 to 3.5 cable. You have a 6th gen Ipod and this cable provides a/v through the front input of the D3? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
axxman Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... s/CD-V150M I have the 5.5 generation 80gb ipod, I think it was the last before they blocked the video out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
