2.4. Displaying Slideshows on a TV

One of the most useful features of the iPod photo is its ability to display photos on a conventional TV. Using the bundled iPod photo AV cable (see Figure 2-18), you can connect your iPod photo to your TV's RCA ports.

Figure 2-18. The iPod photo AV cable

To connect your iPod photo to your TV, connect one end of the iPod photo AV cable to your iPod photo's Headphones and AV port (see Figure 2-19). If you are using a Dock, you can also connect the cable to the Line Out port.

Note that Dock users must use the iPod photo Connector Dock, other Dock Connectors won't work.

Connect the other end of the iPod photo AV cable to the RCA video and audio input ports on your TV (see Figure 2-20). Follow the color code on the cable and match it with those on the TV.
