iPod
Video TV Cable
The
iPod uses a special 3-way cable for video and audio and the cable
you see pictured on the right is everything you need to connect
your iPod to a TV (including large screen TV's in venues).
The white and red plugs correspond to the audio (left and right)
and the yellow plug is for video. The other end of the cable (the
single jack) fits in to your iPods earphone plug.
To use the cable, plug the left and right audio (white and red plugs)
in to your home stereo, professional mixing desk or powered speakers.
Then insert the yellow plug in to the rca video input on your TV.
This high quality connector is made specifically for iPods with
colour display and also works as a normal iPod audio cable. BUY

Warning
Beware of cheaper cables, especially from auction sites like eBay
etc. They are poorly manufactured and short out easily (which can
damage your iPod). The little red, white and yellow labels on the
jackplugs are flimsy pieces of plastic which come off after a few
uses and then you don't know which plug is for what!
Similarly, Apple, the iPods manufacturer, produce a very high quality
and expensive cable which should also be avoided. Although the Apple
high quality cable uses high quality jacks, the cable lead itself
is very stiff and rigid and breaks after prolonged use.
