Ipod 5th Generation tv out
February 10th, 2008
Having just spent the last few hours trawling the web as to why my Ipod TV out wasn’t working when I connected it up to my TV - I thought I would post my findings as the solution was very different from what common sense would tell you.
To get the TV to pick up the output from the Ipod, (assuming you have the TV out option set to true in the settings) you need to connect the AV jacks in a different order than normal. The yellow video jack needs to be swapped with the red audio jack….. bizarre isn’t it!
