Can this cable double to connect a non-apple device like a PC (via USB) to a tv (via composite)?
I get that this cable is intended for running an ipod/phone/pad to a tv and that the usb is meant for charging, but could stuff be run from a usb end (non mac mp3 player, computer etc) to a tv through the composite cables?

Will this cable work with my red/white car stereo plugs?
I have a new car with red and white plugs instead of the usb which I would have preferred. I am trying to find the best quality audio plugs to go from my iPod 5th generation to the red and whites.
Does a dock connector to the rca's produce better sound quality than one from the headphone jack? Will the available products on the market also charge my iPod at the same time?
Thank you for any help, most appreciated.- Asked by Liesl R from Bexley

Best Answer:Yes, a RCA line out from the dock connector is many times better than just using the headphone socket. You should be able to notice a difference, especially if you have good speakers and a good ear for music.

Best Answer:
The digital AV adapter is HDMI and includes a higher definition video output that the composite (RCA Jacks -Yellow, Red, White) which is analog video (yellow). I don't know if the audio signal is better in the HDMI vs the RCA (Red/White) - it depends on what the iPad sends.

Answer
I thought it would, but with my iPhone 3GS I only get output playing a video. Not with Keynote, despite all documentation suggesting it would work together.

AnswerThe Apple TV has it's own HDMI output to connect to a TV with HDMI or DVI inputs... It doesn't use the same connection as an iPod, iPhone or iPad.

AnswerPerhaps on a later update, fingers crossed. as of 5.1.1 i have tested and it (Composite AV cable) does not output Skype video.
Most native iOS apps like photos, video and youtube work very well. photos need to be in slideshow mode.- Answered by Karthik S from Mountain View
