I just bought the AV Cable from apple, and with the video u have to activate a setting for the videos to play on the tv.

but as i will be travelling shortly, i may want to play just mp3's through the use of this cable. When i tried this at home it wouldnt play music on the tv unless it was a "video" nor did i find a setting which could allow it to be done.

Any suggestions?

ok go Videos=> Video Settings=> TV Sgnal, if it is NTSC change it to PAL, if it is PAL change it to NTSC! Are you plaing it over a Stero or TV? If it dosent work change your settings back to norman.

That's not his problem he's trying to play songs through the a/v cable, not videos. The iPod doesn't output any video on the TV for anything unless it is a video, the sound should work fine though. And if the sound doesn't work I can't think of any reasons it wouldn't be working. The iPod a/v cable connects to the headphone jack correct?

Yes the AV cable connects to the headphone jack

When connected to the TV:
- videos option: videos play-yes, sound-yes
- music section: videos N/A, sound-NO

When connected to my surround sound system. Music plays fine, whether its from the video section or just the music section. I dont understand why mp3's on its own cant play on the tv!

If you plug the Av cable into the tv do you plug all 3 adio/video jacks in? Are you going to video one if it is pluged into video one?

I'll try playing through a TV with my non-Apple cord later, but mine play fine through my stereo. I'll get back to you in an hour or two.
