edit: WARNING! There is a chance that this could damage your equipment! Apparently Creative messed with the A/V out so that you couldn't use generic 3.5mm->3xRCA AV cables (so they could sell you there own expensive version). As far as I can tell using a regular 3.5mm audio jack might leave you with a non-grounded signal, which could have unknown effects.

My apologies for getting peoples hopes up. It looks like the proper way to get a true line out involves buying creatives A/V cable, or modifying a standard 3.5mm->3xRCA A/V cable.

I was initially bitterly dissapointed to hear that the Vision:M lacked a true line out; the player has an a/v out (on the mini dock that comes standard with the player), but when you plug in a 3.5mm jack the screen blanks. However, if you go to 'System'>'Photo/Video Settings' you can set 'Video Out' to 'NTSC', 'PAL' or 'Off'. When set to 'Off' you can then use the av out as just an audio line out, and still use the screen. I can confirm the volume of the av out socket is not affected by the volume the player is set at. |
