Hello Jack,

You know the 3,5 mm pin layout on de Raspberry Pi 1B+, 2B and 3B?

Tip         = Left audio
First Ring  = Right audio
Second Ring = Ground
Sleeve      = Video

Be aware of different configurated 4-pole audio-/video-cables!
At the other end there are Chinch/Tulip/RCA male connectors as follows:
Red    = Audio Left
White  = Audio Right
Yellow = Composite Video

It seems Apple and Zune have the same cable pin layout as the Pi.

But the iPod Video cable has the Left and Right Audio signal changed at the
3,5 mm jack end.

The CamCorder cable is also different of the Pi cable.
There the Audio Right and Video are changed at the 3,5 mm jack end.

The worst version is the MP3Player cable, because Video and GND are changed,
and also Left and Right are changed.
You can not use this MP3Player cable on a Raspberry Pi!

Good luck with it.

Henri.
