CamelTowing Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Your ipod adaptor doesn't transfer video. You can buy the Apple cable that outputs to RCAs and plug it into the A/V input though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dqlostsoulz Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Where do i get and how do i install it?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 The apple store. You pull out your deck, plug in the RCAs (red, white, and yellow) into the A/V input, put the deck back, turn on the A/V input in the Z menu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dqlostsoulz Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Do you know where I can get them it cheap?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 You can use a standard Camcorder AV cable to connect your video iPod to a the Z once you understand the signal flow that Apple have adopted in favour of current standards. This will save you cash and you can always spray the cheaper black cable white if you insist on the white bling thing! Apple iPod sends it's video signal over the red RCA cable. Normally it would be the yellow one. Hence people get confused, give up thinking they need a 'special' cable and shell out $60 at the apple store. Â Here's the configuration. Â Red RCA plugs into Z's yellow RCA jack. Yellow RCA plugs into Z's white RCA jack. White RCA plugs into Z's red RCA jack. Â You may even have one of these laying around the house...

dqlostsoulz Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thats it how come they do not plug color to color?.............where do you plug the other end too on the itouch??

garrettoomey Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 They do not plug color to color because apple wants you to buy "their" cable. Quality is the same using either cable. Yes, plug in where the headphones go. Â Configure the ipod settings for TV out: To open these settings, choose Videos -> Video Settings from your main iPod menu. This screen offers three settings: TV Out, TV Signal and Widescreen. Adjust to produce the video playback style you need. Â TV Out Whenever you play a video file, your iPod must make a choice. Video iPods either play video on the built-in screen or they transmit a video signal out of the microphone jack. They don't do both. The TV Out option controls which behavior occurs. Â Use this setting to choose from: Â No. Playback remains on the iPod itself. Yes. A TV signal is produced. Ask. The iPod prompts you whenever you play a video file. Â I always use the Ask option. Yes, it does add an extra step whenever I play a video file, but it gives me the flexibility to choose playback behavior on a case-by-case basis. I like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VBLUE42 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I believe TV OUT on the iphone/ipod touch is output through the dock connector only, not the headphone jack but I could be mistaken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dqlostsoulz Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 oh boy can anyone verify that ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I use the dock connector on mine and it works. Thats why I told you to but the Apple cable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jlong1987 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 The dock connector will work as will the standard headphone jack. I have not used that since my first video iPod but it does work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
