My iPod Touch will not play video through my Sony Bravia TV
I have an iPod Touch (about a year and a half old) and I am trying to connect it to my Sony Bravia TV. I am using the Apple Component AV lead (red blue and green with red and white audio) and I have connected this to the "component in" in the back of the TV. I have then selected this in the menu. I have selected "TV Out, wide screen" on my Ipod and have selected the "PAL" output, although I have tried both options.
I get audio but no image. If I try using the Universal dock with an S Video lead will this work or am I missing something more fundamental (and obvious!) on the iPod or TV settings?- Asked by SF from Epsom

Can a newer Nano connect its audio output to a local source input via RCA jacks? I don't care about the video stream just the audio.
The local source is a BOSE input that works thru a SA3 amp. I think all I need is to plugin RCA cables from the base (Nano) unit to the RCA wall plate. What type of cables does apple offer to convert from 3.5mm to RCA?

Best Answer
This unit comes with no cables. My understanding is that you will need to purchase the Apple AV cable separately. Be careful when you do. I purchased an after market Av cable so I could watch my Iphone3g on my Television and found out that aftermarket cables no longer work due to an apple software upgrade. Apparently apple has put chips in all the new cables and modified the ipods/iphones/itouch's to detect this chip and if not detected the audio/video will not play externally.
They pretty much are forcing us to buy their cables and no one elses.
Thanks Apple.- Answered by SG from Pickering

If I get apple universal dock, USB power adaptor & mini stereo cable, would that work to attach my ipod touch to my Bose Wave to charge & play?
I want to hook my ipod touch up to play through my Bose Wave radio/CD and charge at the same time. The reviews on the Bose system to play and charge the ipod aren't very good and the electrical hookup (which is very large) seems to be the biggest complaint.
I wondered if I could do the same thing much more compactly by buying the ipod universal dock, hooking it electrically through the USB power adapter so it would charge and adding the mini cable to connect and give the sound through the Wave.
Anyone know? I'm computer saavy, but electrically challenged!- Asked by KR from Paradise
