Customer Summary must set video output on ipod
Customer Full Review I got this recently so the kids could watch their shows loaded on the ipod on the TV. Audio worked fine but I couldn't get video at all. Had it back in the package to ship back to Amazon and then found the following instructions on another website:
The AV Cable allows you to connect your iPod/iPhone with color screen to your home entertainment system. Now you can view your videos, pictures or slideshows with audio on your home television.
Setting Up Your iPod Video Options Before Watch iPod Video on TV
1.Turn on your iPod, choose Videos -> Video Settings from your main iPod menu. This screen will show three settings: TV Out, TV Signal and Widescreen.
2.Select TV Out, make sure you select "On" that will produce TV signal.
3.TV Signal: If you live in the U.S., your TV works with the NTSC standard. European countries mostly use PAL.
4.Widescreen: You can choose "On" to produce a widescreen signal (16:9), or "off" to export the traditional TV output (4:3).
SO...after changing it to "TV output ON", it works! Shows downloaded through a website other than itunes are a bit fuzzy (they look fine on the ipod screen which is much smaller, also fuzzy in full screen on the computer). Shows downloaded from itunes are sharp and clear on the TV. Also used this to hook up the ipod to my stereo, works great for that also.
