Yes. Once you dock the device you need to turn on the unit . there is a button in the back of the unit that you might have to push to select video. The unit works great for music and to listen to videos. I have an iPod touch and IPad. It works for both.Hope this helps.

I have no problem playing youtube videos through the system's speakers. However, the "tv out" will not play youtube vidz to my tv.

Nope, this one seems to only support the 5th generation iPods according to some of the reviewers, which would be the original iPod Video models that came out around 2005 I think. Aside from a noted problem with certain docking software updates, the physical space in which to mount the iPod is fitted specifically for the Classic-sized iPods and not the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Why does it say that it works for ALL generation iPods if a reviewer says her iPod 5generation video doesn't fit??? So irritated!! Already ordered it. Guess I'll send it back. Does anyone know if it really does not work with an iPod video 5g?

I googled this issue and seems that for older iPhones like model 4 you have to start playing some video or display some images then your TV will start displaying it. But it will not show your phone "desktop". It will do it only for iPhone5. So make sure your source is correct and start playing something.

I can replay video on my ipad. It appears as though I can also play back from my iPhone, however since the screen is so small I've never tried.

I'm having the same issue. I have an Ipod 80GB classic. I tried to use it, and couldn't get it to work after following the directions. The audio plays, but not the video. I called Philips support and was told that Apple was blocking the video on the Classic. I called Apple and was told there was no issue of which they were aware, but I should try an Apple retail store. In short, everyone wanted to pass the buck. It's a shame because the unit is very nice, but if I can't use the Ipod feature with the Classic, it's not very practical.

Because later model iPods/iPhones and iOS versions have shown compatibility problems. I connect mine via aux input to airport streaming audio from iTunes/computer. If you want to play audio directly from dock, you may have problems

well, this is disappointing. this dock works perfectly when playing music and sounds great. but like everybody else, no video on my ipod classic either. will keep this dock but will monitor this discussion, hoping apple can fix this problem.

yes, but you won't get tv out functionality. when docked, you can connect the audio to external speakers or a tv, but the video cable will have no signal to it, so no watching zune videos on your tv or browsing through songs through the tv screen. i have an 8gb zune and bought the home av pack anyway, it's still worth it but it would have been much cooler if you could get tv out.

I wish I had an answer for u, I haven't used mine for a few years now , I bought a smart phone and put all my music on that , I never added videos. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful maybe contact the manufacturer , I hope u find an answer I'm sure it's frustrating. Good luck

Actually, it only partially works with iPhone 4. It works normally as long as the power adapter is plugged in, including charging the phone while docked. Unfortunately, if the power adapter is not connected and it is running off of batteries, the unit shuts off in the middle of playing music as it doesn't seem to realize that a device is docked. This does not occur when a 3GS is connected to the unit.

From my own personal experience, it does play and charge the touch 1st generation and iphone 3G. However, it does say on the website that the video out and the USB connection on the back of the dock does not work for the touch or iphone. I haven't tried it since they say it doesn't on the website. It does sound very nice. I think I bought it when the price went to $30 during the summer. I wouldn't pay the $$$ that they are charging now though.

Tough one. If the nano works, the dock works. I'd suggest the issue is not with the dock, but with your ipods. Do you have anyone nearby that has one you could try? That would prove it one way or the other.

hi! does any of you know if this dock is by any chance compatible with a 30g classic ipod?! i'm having trouble finding one that it is - all the info is very confusing. any input would be much appreciated.

I had purchased this item for someone else...but i believe that it is not compatible with the Ipod touch 2nd Gen. Regarding video playback i'm not sure.

The one I have is a couple of years old and does not include an adapter that allows me to play anything with the new smaller cord...like the Iphone 5. (Not sure if the 5 was out yet.) I did just purchase an adapter that should allow me to play these things but I have not yet tested it. If your Ipod uses the new cord and has the smaller docking port, be sure you confirm if Pyle has upgraded their technology.
