View a photo or video on a TV

Want to show the photos and videos on your phone to your family and friends? Connect your phone to a compatible TV, and view the photos and videos on a bigger screen.

You need to use a Nokia Video Connectivity Cable (available separately), and may need to change the TV-out settings.

Change the TV-out settings

Select icon-l-settings.jpg and Accessories > TV-out .

Do not connect products that create an output signal as this may cause damage to the phone. Do not connect any voltage source to the headset connector. If you connect an external device or headset, other than those approved by Nokia for use with this phone, to the headset connector, pay special attention to volume levels.

  1. Plug a Nokia Video Connectivity Cable to the video input of a compatible TV. The colour of the plugs must match the colour of the sockets.

  2. Plug the other end of the Nokia Video Connectivity Cable to the headset connector of your phone.

  3. Select a photo or video.

Tip:

If your TV supports DLNA, and is connected to a WLAN, you can view the photos and videos also without the cable connection. See View your photos and videos wirelessly on your home entertainment system .
