How to Watch iPhone Video on a Television
The iPhone allows users to record videos or download them from the Internet or the App Store. If you want to watch the videos on a larger screen, such as your television, you can connect the iPhone to the television using video and audio cables and a dock.
Items Needed:
- Universal iPhone dock
- Audio and video component cables
- HD television
- Purchase a universal dock. You can order it from the Apple website or purchase it from any electronics or department store. The universal dock has the ports that are needed for the audio and video cables to connect to the television.
- Place the iPhone on the dock. The dock will have a small pronged connector that will plug into the bottom of the iPhone. Be gentle when plugging the iPhone in. The prongs should be lined up with each other before pushing the iPhone down onto the dock. Do not push hard or force it in place because this could damage both devices.
- Plug in the audio and video component cables behind your television. The ports will be colored red, yellow and white. Plug the cables into the matching colors.
- Insert the opposite end of the audio and video cables into the matching ports on the universal dock.
- Tap the "Setting" icon on your iPhone. Choose "iPod" and "TV Out" from the menu. Tap the "Home" button to be taken back to the home screen.
- Press the "Input" or "Source" button on your television to change it to the HDMI mode.
- Press the "Video" icon on the iPhone, and choose the video or television show that you want to watch on your television. The program will be displayed on your television.
