Apple Component AV Cable User Instructions
Component AV Cable
Use the Component AV Cable to connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to the component video and analog audio ports on your TV, home theater receiver, or stereo receiver. The Component AV Cable features a USB connector that you can plug into a power source, such as a computer or a USB Power Adapter. Before you begin connecting components, turn down the volume on iPod, iPhone, or iPad, and turn off the power to all your components. Remember to make all connections firmly to avoid humming and noise.
Important: Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure the connector matches the port and is positioned correctly in relation to the port.
To use the Component AV Cable to connect iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your TV or receiver:
- Plug the red, green, and blue video connectors into the component video input (Y, Pb, and Pr) ports on your TV or receiver.
- Plug the white and red audio connectors into the left and right analog audio input ports, respectively, on your TV or receiver.
- Plug the iPod Dock Connector into your iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Universal Dock.
- Plug the USB connector into a USB Power Adapter or your computer to keep your iPod, iPhone, or iPad charged.
- Turn on iPod, iPhone, or iPad and your TV or receiver to start playing.
Make sure you set iPod, iPhone, or iPad to send a video signal out to your TV or receiver. For more information, see the user guide for your device.
The ports on your TV or receiver may differ from the ports in the illustration.
Note: If your iPod doesn’t support video, you can use the Component AV Cable for audio output, syncing content, and charging.
