Creative Vision: M AV cable(watchin movies on

I just got a creative vision:M and i got an AV cable for it but when i play videos through the cable to the TV all i get is sound and a somewhat white and black scratchy picture i dont know what i have to do to be able to watch my videos on my tv? Help!!

Thanks you guys. It would seem I have very littl eoption but to get out my credit card and buy the ugly white s.o.b. Creative should give you loyalty points, man!! I mean, we're being forced to buy the bloody gear against our will, so why not show some sympathy? Fat chance, methinks!
With regard to the length of thew cables reaching the tv, you can buy AV extension kits in any good TV/electrical store if you're feeling too mean to splurge on the RC kit. Also only?available in nappy white!! What gives?
Thanks again?for the feedback you guys.
One last question - the new updated drivers?- what do they do?

go to a speical place in the mp3 and click sumthin like connect to tv or what?:angry:
please if sum knws please help me!! im waitin for a reply.....:smileyindifferent:

The creative cable is not standard. You cannot use standard 3.5mm to 3xRCA AV cables. There are instructions on this forum on how to convert a standard AV cable to one that is compatible with the player.
More information on how the cable is wired is avaliable [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mabrandt5/ZVMrewiringguide.jpg">Here[/url]. Not my image, someone else on the forum created it, found it in this post.
There is an article on [url="http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archi'ves/2006/04/zen-vision-m-video-cable-other-4pole-35mm-pinouts.php">anything but ipod on it as well[/url].
These are the instructions I followed to make my own cable from a standard AV cable. I can't remember who wrote it (Sorry who ever it is), so I don't pretend to take any of the credit for writing it:
Ok here is step by step (i don't have @ home atm digi photo, so i can't do shots)...
Things u'll need:
* AV cable ( 4pole mini jack -to-> 3 RCA yello', red, white)
* knife/scalpel/isolation removal tool...lighter can be a easiest way to remove isolation (when applied gently)
* isolation tape
terms:
GROUND (shield, minus, negati've) = outer wire in the cables, stronger one
HOT (plus, chnl,etc..) = inner smaler wire, caryin' signal
RCA (phonos, cynch,etc..) = those plugs u can find on most of the audio video equipment
MINI JACK (walkman jack, small banana) = can be mono, stereo or audio/video (4 poles)
It's your choice on what part of cable u want to do rewiring (close to the mini jack or close to the RCA's)
I'll describe here easier way (close to the mini jack):
- cutoff the cable close to the mini jack (leave jack with about 8-0cm of cable)
2 - remove isolation on all three cables from both sides (RCA's n mini jack)
- u should remove isolations (2-3cm) of shield/ground (outer wire) and from hot (inner wire)
- on the mini jack side: leave the RED one cable longer than yellow n white
3 - on the mini jack side: remove ground (outer wire) on YELLOW and WHITE cables and isolate
4 - on the mini jack side: remove isolation on the RED hot (inner wire) a bit longer, this is your new ground for all three RCA's, be careful that ground n hot on RED doesn't contatc so isolate em
5 - on the RCA's side: put/twist all three grounds into one wire
6 - wire RED from the jack side to the GROUND of RCA's side (look @ step 5)...isolate
7 - on the mini jack side wire RED cable's GROUND to the YELLOW's cable HOT on the RCA side, isolate
8 - on the mini jack side wire YELLOW cable's HOT to the RED HOT on the RCA side, isolate
9 - on the mini jack side wire WHITE cable's HOT to the WHITE HOT on the RCA side, isolate
0-isolate everythin' properly
enjoy ;-)

Creative Vision M help

Hi, Ive had a new laptop with windows 7 for around 6 months and a creative vision M for around 5 years. The vision M has worked fine with the laqtop till this weekend. On saturday I thought it would be a good idea to move all my music onto the laptop, incase the mp3 player ever broke. I started the process but an hour in i accidently removed the usb cable. Today I tried to start the process again and now it says "device driver not succesfully installed" when i try to connect it. However, the player still says "docked" but the pc just wont recognise what the problem is. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Im anxious to fix it as only my vision M has my music on it, and now I cant take anything off it, or put anything on. Does anywhere know if I can download a new driver?
would really appreciate any help

Well I finally decided to format?all and it did so(took about 0 minutes). Now when I plug it in it reads it and has the little window on the bottom of the screen that reads "Docked". And when it showed "Docked" which only happened every once in a while before I formated it if it said this then when I tried to add new firmware it would seem like it was working but crash right before it ended. Now even though it says "Docked" when I try to?add new?firmware it says the Zen is not connected.

Creative Vision M serious prob

Try a few different players on your PC. I have never had this problem. I have had it where they are off on both the player and the PC but never with on or the other.

Creative Vision:M freezing repeate

I purchased a Creative Zen Vision:M 30 GB back in August, it worked fine until about a week or so ago, when it started freezing repeatedly. Sometimes it freezes in mid-song, and I get an annoying machine gun sound. Sometimes it freezes at the Creative Logo, sometimes it freezes while rebuilding the library, sometimes it freezes when its in "lock" position. I notice that it really likes to freeze if I hit the back button and I want to listen to a song over. I've been resetting the device with a pin in the reset hole, maybe, 5+ times a day. I've reformatted the player from the reset menu, I've gone through the clean up from the reset menu, I've deleted all songs and reinstalled them twice now.
I've gone through the self-fix suggestions in the Knowledege Database. I haven't dropped it, there was no specific cause that started this problem. It is very annoying and difficult to deal with., as I use my mp3 player to jog and to work on my foreign language lessons.
Are there any other solutions to solve this problem, has anyone else had this incessant freezing of a Creative Vision:M, and/or is it time to get an RMA and return the product to Creative?
Thanks for any responses.

I should add that I've reinstalled the firmware, but I have not yet done it since my last reformat of the player. I notice that the firmware is not available for download at this time, correct?

Creative Vision:M Driver Softw

Greetings,
I have recently purchased the Creative Vision:M mp3 player. Unfortunetly, I am unable to install the software as my CD-ROM dri've on my computer is not working. I am wondering if there is any other way I can get the software, perhaps through Creative's website by downloading. Or could any kind soul zip the software up and send it to me.
Thanks
Jason.Singapore

Just remember most people that post on forums only do so because they have a problem. There are a lot of folks out there that never have problems and so they never post. Don't read this forum as an indicator that everyone is having these problems because that would not be true.
I have had mine only a short time, but it has worked flawlessly and I suspect it will continue to do so.
In order to use the Zen to store files, you must turn it on via the menu. Extras, Removable Disk. You can set it for 52 KB, GB, .5 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB 8 GB or 6 GB. Anytime you wish to use this space, you simply turn on the Zen, Go to Extra and Removable Disk, then plug it into the computer. It will show up as a hard dri've.

CREATIVE VISION: M 30GB (NO SOFTWARE)

My friend gave me a 30GB Creative Zen Vision:M & lost the software. It had been opened once. Can I somehow download the software (Installation CD)

)Re: CREATIVE VISION: M 30GB (NO SOFTWARE)2 Ok What Version of Windows Media Player is on the computer? To find out open it.(if it asks to update it Don't) If it looks like this one http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...0/default.aspx it's WMP0? If it looks like this? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...0/default.aspx? it's WMP. To find out what Service Pack of Xp you have go to Start>Control Panel>System There it will tell you what Os/Service Pack is installed. You may not need the install disc depending on the info you provide. The download file is quite large so it may take a while to download depending on your internet connection speed. but you can find it here. http://files.filefront.com/Creative+.../fileinfo.html

Creative Vision M Usb Charg

Hello!
I've had a Zen Micor for some time but now teh hardri've has started making these beepnoises and the earphone completely **bleep**ed so I'm planning to get a new player.
I was just wondering since i have my usb charger from my Zen Micro, can i use it with a Creative Vision m? Because what i've heard they are no longer coming with an ac adapter.
Thankyou!

The standard will work so no need to fret about that.

Creative Vision:M -- FIRMWARE WARN

DO NOT UPGRADE TO THE LATEST FIRMWARE, CREATIVE HAS DISABLED FM RECORDING ABILITY TO PLEASE THE RECORDING INDUSTRY!
Quoted:
(Interesting (and I think important) aside: I recently updated the firmware on my Creative Vision:M mp3 player, a player I've absolutely loved for its features, ergonomics, screen quality, you name it, there was hardly a thing about it I could find fault with. As the new firmware was installing I browsed the release notes... looking for the standard blah blah blah on what's fixed, what's new. The very last line of the notes said (paraphrasing), This firmware upgrade will disable your FM recording capability(!). WTF? It was too late for me to stop the upgrade -- sure enough, I now have a Creative Vision:M sans FM recording capability, (a feature which I was quite fond of)! Creative doesn't say whether it's RIAA induced, I have no idea why they did this... but if it IS more DRM crap, what a crock!)Message Edited by Segmented on 0--2006 04:49 PM

I thought it was already established that the removal of the FM recording funtion was due to unavoidable legal obligations.
Now I'll tell you this, when I learned there was a new firmware availible. I read the release notes as well as the comments from the consumers posted on Creative message boards and other websites. I decided that I would be much more satisfied with my Zen Vision M if I left it alone.
If I had not researched the firmware first, and just upgraded, I'd be pretty pissed off, and would have no one to blame but myself.

Creative vision m 30gb - out of stock everywhere, is it being phased o

I was planning on using my circuit city giftcard to soon buy a creative vision m, but I noticed that most of the stores in my state say it's out of stock and the product wasn't available for shipping. Also, if you check newegg.com, the creative vision m use to be listed on there, but it's completely disappeared which is annoying me to me. My guess is that these stores are selling off their remaining stock. I just want to know if creative has discontinued this product because I don't want this video ipod. It's a possibility that their about to introduce a new hard dri've mp3 player, but I'm not sure.

Man I don't know why everyone is saying these are out of stock I see them everywhere. My local walmart has about 5 in the counter last time I was there. I also see then at best buy and circuit city. They might be a little harder to find then the ipod but they are out there. Maybe demand is up and they are just selling fast. If people where smart they would buy the VM over the ipod any day. There is no way the ipod is better then the VM but try to tell people that.

Creative vision:m sk

I li've in england and am about to order a creative vision:m for my b-day. i just wanted to know if anyone knows and UK sites that sell skins that cover the screen. I've seen the silicone ones but can't find them on any UK sites.

Sounds like a bad connection internally or something else going out. Your best bet would be to contact Customer Support about your warranty status. Also, just because I know CS is going to ask you to try this, you may want to update your firmware just to eliminate the possibility of a software issue, and because you can tell them you already did it.
Also, please leave the cursing off the forums. We try to be 'family friendly' around here.
Good luck!

Creative Vision M Probl

The other day the screen on my creative vision M froze so I hit the reset button on the bottom and continued to charge it by USB at my computer. However my mom used it the next day and told me that it seemed to not have charged at all so I decided to retry charging it so i plugged it into my computer again and the blue light by the power switch flashed slowly (which indicates that its charging i think) but nothing appeared on the screen and i can't even power on the mp3 player now... suggestions?

ah.... i guess my mom ran the battery too low, the screen has come up now after about an hour of charging... thanks
Case Solved.

Creative Vision M - Radio built into headphon

Hi There,
Thinking of purchasing a Creative Vision M and have a question about the radio. I plan to use my own headphones - I like my noise cancelling Sennheisers. Anyway I read that the radio is partly attached/embedded in the headphones - is this true and therefore if I change to other headphones, how can I receive a decent reception?
Many thanks,
Martin

FM Radio is built into the unit itself. You only need the headphones as an antenna and any headphone can serve as one.
