Chapter 7 Tips and Troubleshooting 51
If you accidentally set iPod classic to use a language you don’t understand
You can reset the language.
1 Press and hold Menu until the main menu appears.
2 Choose the sixth menu item (Settings).
3 Choose the last menu item (Reset Settings).
4 Choose the left item (Reset) and select a language.
Other iPod classic settings, such as song repeat, are also reset.
Note: If you added or removed items from the iPod classic main menu (see
Adding or removing
items in the main menu on page 8) the Settings menu item may be in a different place. If you
can’t find the Reset Settings menu item, you can restore iPod classic to its original state and
choose a language you understand. See
Updating and restoring iPod software on page 52.
If you can’t see videos or photos on your TV
•
You must use RCA-type cables made specifically for iPod classic, such as the Apple Composite
AV cable, to connect iPod classic to your TV. Other similar RCA-type cables won’t work.
•
Make sure your TV is set to display images from the correct input source (see the
documentation that came with your TV).
•
Make sure all cables are connected correctly (see Watching videos on a TV connected to
iPod classic on page 34).
•
Make sure the yellow end of the Apple Composite AV Cable is connected to the video port on
your TV.
•
If you’re trying to watch a video, go to 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.
•
If that doesn’t work, go to 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.
