Watching Videos on a TV Connected to iPod nano
If you have an AV cable from Apple, you can watch videos on a TV connected to your
iPod nano. First you set iPod nano to display videos on a TV, then connect iPod nano to
your TV, and then play a video.
Use the Apple Component AV Cable, the Apple Composite AV Cable, or the Apple AV
Connection Kit. Other similar RCA-type cables might not work. You can purchase the
cables at www.apple.com/ipodstore or your local Apple Store.

m Choose Videos > Settings, and then set TV Out to Ask or On.
If you set TV Out to Ask, iPod nano gives you the option of displaying videos on TV or
on iPod nano every time you play a video. If you set TV Out to On, iPod nano displays
videos only on TV. If you try to play a video when iPod nano isn’t connected to a TV,
iPod nano displays a message instructing you to connect to one.
You can also set video to display full screen or widescreen, and set video to display on
PAL or NTSC devices.
