Can this unit act as a passthrough for video? For example, I want to pass video from my iPhone THROUGH this unit to the overhead DVD unit...possible?

Yes, you can use any of your sources (DVD, iPhone, navigation, etc.) to an external display. Keep in mind that this system was designed specifically with Apple products in mind. So if you're talking Netflix and all that, yes!

I have only used mine to play material from the Internet onto my HDTV. I got this adaptor, however, because it is supposed to have a chip in it that will keep your purchased content from being blocked. I would contact Apple to see what the problem was.

i have tried this with my Dish Anywhere app and all it does is transfer sound and no video. i know it works for video because i have an app i use for my ipad using it for powerpoint presentation with no sound. Last I heard Dish does not support this device but i have not tried it on IOS 7 yet.

Not that I know of... If you have the video on another device you can hook it up through video input or just watch the DVD if thats what you mean

The bypass is intended for the DVD/USB Video playback. You can operate the Navigation aspect of the unit at anytime after the vehicle is powered up. There is a disclaimer notice when you first switch to the navigation screen but it's a one time (per car turn on) deal.

I USED to be able to do that but it no longer is working. I was wondering if it were my iPod but nothing seems wrong with it. Using my iPod to play music through this unit is still working fine but I bought it for the precise purpose of using it as a larger screen for watching videos from my iPod. Anyone have suggestions? I loved it when it was working properly.

Actually I think this is all incorrect... if you hold the option button while you click on your sound icon in the top corner, you can select the A1 device as your sound output. I haven't used it for that function but it SHOULD work. As another person mentioned though, you would likely have a little bit of lag because the sound would have to be sent through the wifi channel and processed while the video would be real time.

I haven't tried it but with converters you can do about anything. Apple products in my experience are the easiest to use any kind of video and convert it on the way in but like I said I haven't tried it.

It does have the native ability to play DVDs, but I'm not sure about taking from or sending to external video. Mine is not cabled to be able to do such, but there might be an additional input/output that I'm not aware of.

I have not used the device as a pass-through to the television. I only use it to capture from VCR to the computer.

"Standby pass-through of Audio & Video""Conveniently access all your HDMI connected devices without having to power on the receiver". Hope that answers your question my friend.

Forget all the rest of these answers. This device contains a unidirectional pathway. It even has input and output printed on it, and there is a reason for that. Data is restricted to flow in only one direction. You can not even send video alone backwards through it, let alone re/combine video with sound. It will also not allow for ARC data flow since it blocks the return path. This also has a USB power input. This will not change anything. As far as I can tell, you don't even need the USB. I don't use it at all.

Yes it can show video. I used my iPod classic to show from audio and video came through...however I had to use the rear controls to get the AUX to "find" the video source. I have not tried with iPhone or iPad. It also must be shown from something/App that "senses/reads" the external input.

>>One thing I've found is that you need a >>"Video Enhancer" to attach to your unit.No you don't. I was able to dub commercially-released video tapes to DVD using this unit and no other hardware.

No. only support the 30-pin apple device. Because the iPhone don't support the video output itself.

I have not tried this but I will need to do so. My husband, a true genius which I can prove by the electronic devices he developed that are till being sold as top notch by well known companies (he's an EE out of Stanford at 17 years top of his class), is now incapacitated by a stroke... put 3 DVD's in the slot at once and now it doesn't send them out. So I don't know the answer!

Think of it this way. Any format your iphone can play (mp4 for example), this unit can handle. So, you cannot, out of the box, stream an avi file to your iphone from it. You must convert the avi to mp4 first. Not because the drive can't handle avi, but because the phone can't. If you need a converter check out Smart Converter for Mac.
