How to Connect a TV to an iPod

Video Transcript

"I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, and I'm going to show you how to hook up your TV, to your iPod. Now with that, you're going to need one of two things, one or two things, I should say. Here we've got the official iPod dock, made to hook it up. iPods have that proprietary connection at the bottom of it, so you need either an accessory that's designed for that, iPods official accessory, or the three prong video accessory, that can work directly into, believe it or not, the headphone jack, of the older ones. Three prong, meaning the fact that it's got three stripes, so I can give you left channel, right channel, and video. I'm going to show you how we do that here. We've got our iPod set in to the dock. Now, in the back here, we can either go with this one, which is the line out, or we can go line out for the audio, and then go out as video. We're going to do it in one easy way right now, so I'm going to set it down here, and I'm going to take the connections over here to the back, and we're going to set these into video or AV 1, and on the back here, you may be able to see, that we've got, it's color coded here. White for left channel, red for right channel, and yellow for video, and we're simply going to match it up. We can see the diagram down here, audio white, red, and in, it's down at the bottom, so that means it's going to be by the back, so I'm going to start with my yellow, right up in there. Next, looking for the red, and that's going right next to it, red to red, and then white to finish it off. Now, I'm going to feed my wire through here, and then we're back here at the front. We're going to go behind, to this guy here, to the line out, which is now we're putting in the connector, into the line out. We're going to push play. Now, we're going to change this over here, to the input there. Push play,and now we're watching a movie, Iron Man, and I'm Rokosz, not to be confused with Iron Man, your digital lifestyle expert, saying stream me next time."
