Component AV Cable

Use the Component AV Cable to connect your iPod 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 the included USB Power Adapter.

Before you begin connecting components, turn down the volume on iPod 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 that the connector
matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to
the port.

To use the Component AV Cable to connect iPod to your TV or receiver:

1

Plug the red, green, and blue video connectors into the component video input
(Y, Pb, and Pr) ports on your TV or receiver.

2

Plug the white and red audio connectors into the left and right analog audio input
ports, respectively, on your TV or receiver.

3

Plug the iPod Dock Connector into your iPod or Universal Dock.

4

Plug the USB connector into your USB Power Adapter or your computer to keep your
iPod charged.
