You are correct in thinking that the Classic does not output video signals through the headphone output.
Check out the cables you need to connect to a TV here.

Ipod 160 Classic Constantly Skipping Songs. :c

I have an Ipod 160 Classic thats been working just fine til now. Now it skips a whole lot of songs and plays some half way. It does it both on the ipod and computer. I dont wanna restore my ipod because I dont have all my music saved into my computer. :c Any suggestions??

You will probably get a better response if you post in the iPod Classic Forum:

Video out from ipod classic

OK, so I have an Ipod Classic. I jsut got the DYNEX IPAVC cable, and that doesnt work (no video, audio only). I also have an Accurian Dock-same deal, no video, only audio. Ive read a bunch that the Classics require newer hardware to get video to work. However, it seems like all the cables on the apple store that should work have been discontinued? How on earth do i get the video to play on my TV? Please help...thanks....

ill have to check that page out and see. i was on this page
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454
and the composite and component cables say no longer available
Apple Composite AV Cable
(part number MB129LL)
Apple Component AV Cable
(part number MB128LL)
but it looks like you are correct. thats cool.
I had the TV Out setting to ON or ASK, and when i would do that, it would ask for the video out to be plugged in, even though they already were plugged in. I saw someone else had that same issue. I think its that these cables (The Dynex), even though they are advertised as such, do not work with the classic.
EDIT: Is all i need the composite cable? I dont need the dock, correct?

Video Out and iPod

If you have one of those 30pin to RCA stereo & composite video cables. Will the iPod app output a video image of the current song album art, or will the app only do video out for actually watching videos?
I've got an interface I was going to install that makes me be able to control my iPod playback on my iPhone using my car's native stereo controls (it is done using the CD Changer port on the cars stereo). But my car also has RCA input jacks for composite video and audio. I love the MotionX GPS app and think it would be cool to see the GPS screen on my iPhone on my car's screen. So I was thinking of just using the RCA jacks combined with an RF or bluetooth remote control. But if I can't see any song information via the composite video out, then forget it.

i believe the video out would only work when playing videos and nothing else. this is because it would be impossible to control the iPhone from your car stereo unless they created a complete interface to work with the iPhone, and the only way to do that would be to get code from apple and i doubt that will ever happen...

Video out on ipod nano 7th generation

I am trying to determine if I can play video out to TV with the latest ipod nano (7th gen). I found a support page( iPhone, iPad, iPod: TV out support) which suggests its possible from 3rd gen onwards but I'm not sure that page is up to date for 7th gen, especially as the suggested cables are 30 pin rather than lightning.
If it is possible then which cable should I use? Prefer HDMI but composite or component would do.

That is normal.

Video out from iPod Classic looks "squished" on my TV

I have a new iPod Classic which replaced a 5G video iPod. I have edited my photos in iPhoto to the 16:9 ratio to watch slideshows from my iPod on my 16:9 plasma TV using an iPod dock from Apple. Now when I hook up my new iPod to the same TV, using the same dock, the video output now looks "squished", and there are black bars above and below the image. When I watch the same slideshow on another TV using my Apple TV, the images look fine, and fill up the entire screen. Any idea why? Do I need a new dock?

And your TV is set to "Full" or the like? I'm used to Sony HDTVs, so I don't know what the setting would be on your TV, but the largest Widescreen setting.
That's the only thing I can think of, especially since you said when you tested it on another TV it worked. So it must be your TV and neither the iPod nor the cable. The way the iPod and cable work together really shouldn't change from TV to TV unless the TV itself has an issue.

Ipod 160 classic random pause

Ive read other people having a problem with their ipod 160classic randomly pausing for 2 secs then resuming play from where it left off. Ive also read this is probably an inherent design flaw with to small of a cache because it happens with larger files( i've only had it happen with my apple lossless files and wavs as opposed to my 256vbr mp3s). Is there any fix ive restored, my ipod defragged it, took off album art, and nothing helps. Nothings more annoying than having a random pause as your getting into the music then to have it continue where it left off. THe problem cannot be recreated its random if you rewind to where it occurred it wont repeat there but somewhere else. this happens 5 or more times per hour for me using the higher bit files.
I bought the 160 for the purpose of storing lossless files yet cant do it without this annoying problem is there a fix or a downgrade. Heck id be happy with no other features or color just to have it not pause while playing music. Ive also read that rockbox is not coming out for the classic and was hoping that might fix the problem. Any soulutions would be appreciated thanks for your time, -Shane

Hi Mitch, that is a really great point. I so rarely listen to the iPod undocked for extended periods, I decided to test it this morning.
I have been listening to it now, undocked for around 4 hours and have heard no pauses at all. Yesterday, it was pausing about every 10 minutes or so while playing in the dock. Maybe this is significant to determining the issue...
Thanks for asking the question, and leading me to a workaround..
It certainly means I can enjoy the iPod again, even if it's plugged into my HiFi using the headphone jack, and running on battery power. Still sounds great.
It would be nice if the device worked properly while docked, but I'm a lot happier now regardless.
Cheers, Bill

Video out on iPod touch 2nd Gen - with dock?

Hi,
So apparently you can watch videos on your tv if you buy the universal dock for iPod touch 2nd Gen?
How does it work and do you get RCA cables with the dock or do you need to purchase them separately?
Does the dock come with the USB cable or is that a separate purchase as well?
Sami

Hi,
You only need the cable(s)-
[Apple Composite AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjE0NTAz OA]
OR
[Apple Component AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB128LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4Njcw Mw]
You can then put one of these inbetween in you wish but it is not required.
[Apple Universal Dock|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4NzcxOA ]
Comes with a remote but of limited functionality with Touch.
Regards,
Dud.

Video out on ipod touch

I have a Sonic Impact V55 Video that I bought for my iPod video but I now have a iPod touch. I can get the music to play on it but I was wondering if the was any way to play video on it with my iPod touch via the docking station or cables and what cable I would need for that.
Message was edited by: samed27

unfortunately, as I just learned, the answer is no. apple has purposefully encoded the touch so that users are required to be a newer cable in order to view videos. furthermore, if you upgrade to 3.0, you will have to buy a different cable, exclusively offered by, you guessed it, apple...

Video out for iPod Touch

I've got a 8GB iPod Touch and want to see movies on my LCD TV, I know I need to get the NEW Apple Universal Dock, but how about cable? I have to use Apple Composite AV Cable or Apple Component AV Cable? It confuses me a lot before I made a wrong order...

Hey Edmond,
I also recommend getting the Apple Component AV Cable.
This article will provide detailed information about the cable options.

My ipod 160 classic ejects itself.

Before I can click on it in itunes it ejects and disapears. I already had it in Disk Mode and have been able ot use it within the past year sucessfully. Now it won't stop ejecting itself. How can I fix this? I even tried a new ipod cable.
-Thanks!

Did you do a simple reboot of both the PC and iPod to see if that does any good? It wouldn't hurt to also remove any other USB devices if they are connected.
To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
