How to Plug an iPod Into a Guitar Amp


Purchase a cable with a stereo male 1/8-inch plug on one end and a mono 1/4-inch male plug on the other. Since the iPod plays music in stereo and standard guitar inputs are mono, this configuration will ensure that the left and right stereo signal are properly merged.
Turn the power off on both the iPod and amplifier and ensure the amplifier volume is at its lowest setting.
Plug the cable's 1/8-inch stereo plug into the iPod's headphone output jack and the 1/4-inch mono plug into the guitar amplifier input jack.
Turn the iPod power on and adjust the volume to the lowest setting.
Turn the amplifier power on and turn the volume up 3 to 4 notches.
Turn the iPod volume up until you begin to hear sound and adjust the amplifier volume and tone controls to achieve the desired loudness level and sound quality.

How to Do a Dual Screen on an iMac (9 Steps)


Determine the type of video connection used with the external monitor you wish to connect to the iMac. The iMac features a Mini DisplayPort on the back of the monitor that supports DVI, VGA and dual-link DVI connections through the use of different adapters. DVI and VGA are two of the most common connections used with computer monitors. The type of connection your external monitor uses should be printed beneath its connection port (see Resources).
Plug in the appropriate Mini DisplayPort adapter for your monitor. The Mini DisplayPort connector is located in the lower-left corner on the back of your iMac to the right of the USB cable and ethernet cable inputs (see Resources).
Turn on the external monitor and the iMac computer.
Connect the external monitor's connection cable to the Mini DisplayPort adapter that you connected to the back of the computer.
Click the 'Finder' icon on the iMac Dock and then click the 'Applications' folder. Click 'System Preferences' to open the 'System Preferences' dialog box. Click 'Displays' beneath the 'Hardware' subheading to bring up the 'Display Settings' dialog box.
Click 'Detect Displays' in the lower-right side of the dialog box to force the iMac to detect the external display. Once the computer detects the external display, select the 'Arrangement' tab. Two boxes will appear in the dialog box, representing your monitors. The box with the white bar across the top of it represents the iMac monitor while the other box represents the external monitor.
Drag the box that represents your external monitor to the appropriate side of the box that represents your iMac monitor. For example, if your external monitor is on the left side of your iMac, drag the box representing the external monitor to the left side of the box representing the iMac monitor.
Place a checkmark next to the 'Mirror Displays' option in the lower-left corner of the 'Arrangement' dialog box if you want to use the external display to mirror the iMac display. Remove the check mark from the 'Mirror Displays' option if you want to use the external display as an extended display. This means that the monitor will act as an extension of your iMac's desktop, letting you drag the mouse cursor from one screen to the other. You can display programs, movies, applications or anything else on the second monitor to free up space on the iMac's main screen.
Close the 'Display Preferences' window to save the changes.

How to Connect Serato With CDJ


Plug your CDJ's cables into the input sockets on the SL 1. The left deck goes into input 1, while the right deck is input 2. (When facing your decks, these inputs are on the back of the interface. When looking at the back of the interface, the right deck goes into the input on the left, while the left deck goes into the input on the right. See Resources for diagrams.)
Connect the outputs to your mixer using the RCA cables included with your Serato setup. Left and right deck line outputs connect to their respective (left and right) line inputs on your mixer. Set your mixer to 'Line' level.
Connect your 'PHONO' inputs on your mixer to the left/right respective 'THRU' outputs on your interface. Using 'THRU' allows you to switch from Serato Scratch Live to your own CDs at the flip of a mixer switch.
Connect the interface directly to your computer using the provided USB cable. Do not plug it into a USB Hub or splitter.

How to Hook Up an HDMI Cable to a TV DVR


Power off your TV and DVR.
Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your DVR. The port will be on the back panel, typically near the center.
Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to an HDMI input on your TV. Most newer sets have multiple HDMI inputs, allow you to choose the best input for your DVR.
Power on your DVR and TV. Use your TV's remote to switch to the HDMI input into which you plugged the DVR. Typically this is done by either hitting the 'INPUT' button or 'HDMI' button on your remote. Once the input switches you will see the display from your DVR on your TV.
Use your DVR's remote to enter the device's settings menu. Refer to your DVR's owner's manual for the exact process. Set the output resolution on your DVR to the maximum resolution your TV will accept, typically 1080p.

How to Stream Cox Cable on My iPad


Connect your set-top box to the video source. The device should have enough connections on the back to allow you to hook up to three different video sources at once. This means you can hook your Cox cable connection directly into the back of the box's coaxial inputs. This will run the video feed to your TV through the device. You will also need to connect the box to your television inputs.
Hook up the box to an Internet connection. If your Internet router is close by, you can simply connect an Ethernet cord to the back of the box. If you do not have a router nearby, you can get a device that makes your electrical outlets into an Internet connection. Once you plug the box into the wall outlet, it will automatically have an Internet connection also.
Download the appropriate app for your iPad from the App Store. For example, if you use a Slingbox for this process, you will need to download an app called SlingPlayer. You will need to enter your iTunes password into the iPad to allow the download. Wait for a few seconds to allow the download to finish, and then open it.
Watch your television through the app on your iPad. You can completely control your television through the app. It will allow you to change channels and even use your DVR through the iPad controls.
