[P1] DVD Player...

Pat,

I'm not sure if anyone answered this for you.  Please disregard if this  
was already covered and I missed it.  The new iBooks (late 2002) with  
no external reset button require a new adapter to get the video out.   
The Apple AV cable (mini-plug to three analog RCA  plugs) will no  
longer work properly because the video signal is no longer routed to  
the headphone / AV port.  You now need the "Apple Video Adapter for  
iBook (part number M8734G/A)"  to connect the video out port to your  
TV.  The adapter accepts either RCA or S-video.  The audio signal still  
comes from the headphone port, which is why you only get audio using  
the Apple AV cable.  Don't get rid of the AV cable you'll still need it  
for the audio.  Here's the link to the new video adapter at the Apple  
Store.
