The easiest way to connect your iPod to an external speaker is by buying a headphone-jack-to-RCA audio cable from an electronics store such as RadioShack. Since they had to make the tip longer than a standard headphone tip, it makes sense that they'd put the video farther down (deeper into the headphone jack). I don't think so, this makes more sense.) ( Folks have apparently accused them of changing pins to make money. Thus, they had to change the pin assignments for compatibility. However, remember that the iPod needs the jack to work for both standard headphones, and for video. Notice that the rings are very different.that wouldn't be a problem if the 1/8" jack was ONLY used for audio. Ring closest to the cable - Right Channel.In the picture at the upper right (from ) there are FOUR rings on this standard video cable. When hardware folks want to add functionality, they add a ring and make the connector longer. So, on a standard microphone, there's three rings: ![]() One ring corresponds to one output cable. Then I realized that the thing that's unique about the iPod (or at least different from my camcorder) is that one headphone connector is used for audio and video.Ī 1/8" standard headphone connector has three "connectors" in the form of three rings in the plug itself. I thought I might have to buy a real cable, but come on, it's just four wires, this should "just work." I plugged it in, started the video after setting TV Out to On on the iPod and selecting NTSC as the format as we're in North American, and.nothing. I didn't get an official $20 iPod Video Cable or $100 AV Connection Kit, and I'm also a cheap b*stard, so I went looking for a standard RCA adapter around the house that one uses to hook up a camcorder. I went up to iTunes and got the free 40 minute "Battlestar Galactica: The Story So Far" video. I currently have an AV receiver but want to switch to using an integrated amplifier, but what I will be giving up is the simplicity of use of connecting my ipod through a USB port. I received an 80GB iPod Video for Christmas and immediately wanted to watch a movie with it. Before anybody says it, yes I know perfectly well that I can connect an iPod to any rca input in an integrated amplifier via its headphone jack. ![]()
