Watching Videos on a TV Connected to iPod

mChoose Videos > Video Settings, and then set TV Out to Ask or On.

If you set TV Out to Ask, iPod gives you the option of displaying videos on TV or on iPod every time you play a video.

You can also set video to display widescreen or full screen, and set video to show on PAL or NTSC devices.

To set TV settings:

mChoose Videos> Video Settings, and then follow the instructions below.

Video to display widescreen	Set Widescreen to On.
	If you set Widescreen to Off, videos display full screen.

Video to display on PAL or NTSC TVs

PAL and NTSC refer to TV broadcast standards. Your TV might use either of these, depending on the region where it was purchased. If you aren’t sure which your TV uses, check the documentation that came with your TV.

Note: Use the iPod AV Cable made specifically for iPod. Other similar RCA-type cables might not work. You can purchase the iPod AV Cable at www.apple.com/ipodstore.
