How does one get the video (photo, movies, etc.) to the TV / monitor? But, if I am going to use only audio from my iPod, why would I use such an expensive gadget to do that when a mini-jack or composite cables would do the same thing?

On your ipod video settings, under your video menu, you must set TV Out to ON, rather than OFF Hope this works for you

The audio still comes out of the AV mini jack when you're using component. So, you can either buy the Zune AV cable (which gives you audio and composite video), or just buy any "stereo mini-jack to RCA" cable to get just the audio, then use any component video cable for video.

VGA is only for the video not the sound. I use this adapter to connect to a projector that I have which does not have HDMI. I then connect a 3.5 mm cable into the iPad earphone/speaker jack to get sound. You could do the same for your TV. I also bought the apple lightning to HDMI adapter for connecting to my TV. That adapter carries both video and audio like you wanted but you must have an available HDMI port on your TV for it to work. The bottom line is the adapter you purchased only carries the video signal. For sound with that adapter you have 3 choices: 1. Use the sound on your iPad. 2. Plug a cable into your iPad earphone jack and some sound device (your TV). 3. Connect your iPad to a Bluetooth speaker system. I use this method when it's available.

I haven't used this for some time now, but I remember it was tricky. I think what I did was have my video or photos open and ready to stream to the TV, then plug in the cables. It has to do with having it done a certain way. I tried different ways until it worked. Maybe start the sideshow, then plug it into the TV. I would try different ways before giving up. Good luck!

All I can tell you is that it works good with Apple TV. I took the digital optical audio out of my Apple TV unit and this unit converted it to analog (stereo). I am not using the HDMI out of the Apple TV unit for audio; I am using a HDMI to DVI cable for the video. Apple TV does send a HDMI and a digital audio out at the same time. Neither one overrides each other. I believe this answers your question. I hope this helps.

Yeah, it has a AV output - I tried with a cable I had but couldn't get it to work right with the video and have stereo audio, it seemed to only have mono with video; If you just want to occasionally use this feature this isn't a bad player, if this is something you want to regularly do, I would suggest finding another.

There is an HDMI port in the back and RCA connections. If you have videos on your iPod, you can view those too.

I just got my itouch for Christmas. I have had no trouble syncing photos and mucsic, but am having trouble with video and tv shows. I have downloaded tv shows from itunes and can get them to play on my laptop, but they do not seem to be syncing to my itouch. It is not a matter of space...still have over 14GB. I assume tv shows would fall under the video tab...but they dont seem to be. What am I missing?? MP

I had no problem with transferring video. Sound came through fine. I went back and looked as I have only one video on my phone. I could not find the file on my laptop but it is in my Dropbox and it has sound. Tried to transfer again with cable and you are right, it had no sound. I cannot remember how I got it into my Dropbox.

the only way to hook up anything (other than a pre iphone 5)is to connect via VGA. For this you need a VGA adapter from your device- be it an iPhone 5 or a macbook-AND a VGA to projector cable. And there's the problem, the proprietry VGA to projector cord is almost impossible to get since I bought my projector. Great little device, but I can't get a VGA cable. My advice is locate a cable first, or buy a different model. I am pretty disappointed I bought this, i was pretty excited at the use I could out it to at work and home, but it's instead barely been used.

A VGA port carries video only, not audio+video like an HDMI cable does. You'll need to run audio through a separate cable (usually through a 3.5mm headphone jack) no matter what adapter you use.

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

If this device will not provide high quality images from my laptop to my older (but wide screen) TV, what device would you recommend? I would like to play movies and stream video from my laptop through my TV. Thanks!!!

Are you connecting you ipod touch through the USB port? You also have to set the stereo to AUX hear the ipod play. I'm using an ipod classic 80 GB and works for me...just no video. Once the stereo connects to the ipod all your play lists, etc will come up on the stereo screen. I just bought an adapter to be able to watch video from you ipod as well but have't installed it yet. Hope this helps

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

I just purchased the mini dvi to dvi adapter and also an hdmi to dvi cable. I also have the audio cables. When I hooked everything up, I could hear the audio and see my desktop only. How can I view something other than my desktop. CAn you help?
