If you can’t see videos or photos on your TV

ÂYou must use RCA-type cables made specifically for iPod nano, such as the Apple Component or Apple Composite AV cables, to connect iPod nano to your TV. Other similar RCA-type cables won’t work.

ÂMake sure your TV is set to display images from the correct input source (see the documentation that came with your TV for more information).

ÂMake sure all cables are connected correctly (see “Watching Videos on a TV Connected to iPod nano” on page 45).

ÂMake sure the yellow end of the Apple Composite AV Cable is connected to the video port on your TV.

ÂIf you’re trying to view a video, choose Videos > Settings and set TV Out to On, and then try again. If you’re trying to view a slideshow, choose Photos > Slideshow Settings and set TV Out to On, and then try again.

ÂIf that doesn’t work, choose Videos > Settings (for video) or Photos > Settings (for a slideshow) and set TV Signal to PAL or NTSC, depending on which type of TV you have. Try both settings.

If you want to double-check the system requirements

To use iPod nano, you must have:

ÂOne of the following computer configurations:

On the Mac, iPhoto 6 or later is recommended for adding photos and albums to iPod nano. This software is optional. iPhoto might already be installed on your Mac. Check the Applications folder.

On a Windows PC, iPod nano can sync photo collections automatically from Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 or later, available at www.adobe.com. This software is optional.
