I have a recording studio on my computer, and have just got a cable in which to connect from my Transformer's 3.5mm audio out to my computer's RCA input. It works fine connecting to my Galaxy S's headphone slot, can record perfectly, but the bigger screen on my Transformer is what I am after.
Can anyone help me at all? Thank you.
Um well... Whats the issue? 3.5mm -> rca adapter, plug 3.5mm end into the TF, plug red/white RCA into the PC, profit?
Hmm, think it might be the cable. I've read about issues with the Transformer audio port, but the cable just about works about halfway in.

The TF101 also has a 3.5mm output jack. Use that cable and it will work just fine.

So you're saying it doesn't fit correctly in the tf port?

Well I just tried for fun, using the same cable as you (3.5mm -> rca) to hook the TF up to my stereo. It worked as expected - flawless.
So its not that the TF isnt working with such a cable (which wouldnt make any sense anyway).
So yea, start with trying another cable. If that doesnt work, try a headset or something on the TF and check if that works.
I think the cable is a bit lose, every other cable works fine with my transformer. I might try claiming a refund, the left and right sides are labelled the wrong way round, but the quality is high once plugged in. But yes, another cable needed.

I ordered a 3.5mm cable to 3 rca connector last week but it's not Nokia.
I'll let you know when I get the phone.
Yes, both audio (stereo) and video is sent via the 3.5mm cable, used this to watch a movie the other day.

yeah i had one that the red was the video
I plugged mine into a Zune (Gen 1) AV cable that I have connected to my head unit in my car...turned on TV out and it worked like a champ.
FWIW, Avatar on the Vibrants is DRMed and it disables the TV out when you play it. You can watch the trailer just fine, but firing up the actual movie brings up a message about not being able to display it on the TV.
Hooked up my Acer to my HDTV with a HTC cable I had (HTC HDMI Cable - D-type to A-type connector) . Really nice quality and it mirrors the Acer (meaning whatever is shown on the Acer is shown on the TV). This is nice after my experience with my HTC EVO 4g phone... only certain apps on the phone would output to the TV. A little of the display was cut off as my HDTV has limited overscan, but it was great for watching websites with flash video or watching downloaded movies.

I love it, and it works exceptionally well. I have been playing NFS Shift on my 90 inch screen and looks every bit as good as on the tablet screen. I was a little concerned with what the quality was going to be like, but my worries were put to rest. I had my droid x hdmi cable that work with the tab perfectly. It's a good thing cuz I never used it for my droid x as it does not mirror the display like this tab does. I give kudos to Acer for building an outstanding product.

Cable Sensitivity
My HDMI out is very sensitive to the position of the cable. For instance, if I lay the Acer on a flat surface the HDMI out works great. Once I lift the tablet and cause any downward strain to the HDMI connection I lose the signal. If I hold the cable in place while holding the tablet I get the signal again.
Is this a defect specific of my tablet or is this an issue with the connection using mini HDMI? If a few of you are playing NFS I'm assuming I may have a loose HDMI out connector.
Faulty HDMI out
Well I took the Acer back to BB after further inspecting the connection. The HDMI out of the A500 was so loose that the slightest movement caused the output connection to be lost. Best Buy was extremely accommodating including offering to custom cut an anti-glare screen protector that I had applied myself in order to match the product I was exchanging.
We tested the device's HDMI output and all is well. Wel except me having to start over and re-configure a new tablet
Good to hear. My cable should be arriving today but I think I now made a mistake buying a 6' cable. It was only $4.50 so ill see how it works ands will probably get a 15' for playing games.

A500 not connecting to TV through HDMI
Hey all,
Seeing as you are discussing cables and HDMI here, figured this may be the best spot for my question.
I recently bought an A500 tab 32GB and have been trying to connect it to my Panasonic 127cm Plasma TV through HDMI.
Ordered a HDMI to HDMI mini cable (type A to C) and tried to connect the tablet to the TV, but no luck.
The Tab screen shows HDMI connected but the TV screen remains black and there is no mirroring at all.
Any advise? Could it be the cable, tab or TV?
Unfortunately don’t have other devices with HDMI that I could test
Thanks for the help

Take it into the local electronics store and test it on a TV there. Act like you're interested in the TV and you wanted to test it out with your tablet.

You've completely missed my point. I have ordered plenty from here. I am asking is there something I missed? Or should I simply return it for exchange? Video was fine but no audio... gonna try my other TV.

I'm sensing a little sarcasm, or at least I hope you have more faith in me than that.
Edit: Now thats weird, audio worked fine on my other TV.
The TV not working has HDMI coming from my Denon receiverinto HDMI 1, but I use my receiver and surround sound for the audio... Just thought of something though, because the TV volume doesn't work for cable TV unless the receiver is off...
I got this cable from Amazon.com, 15 feet, and it has worked fine on two different tv's.
Eh, starting to wonder if the speakers on my TV are bad. I've used my receiver speakers exclusively for a long time and never use the TV speakers. When the receiver is off, the audio is suppose to bypass the receiver and route the the TV speakers... I get nothing now. And no audio on a completely separate HDMI input on the same TV. The fact I got audio on my second TV is enough fto convince me the cable is fine. Time to talk to Best Buy about my main TV...

Maybe a few days...
If you are talking about ideas for accessories I would love to see an extended battery that plugs into the docking port and piggybacks on the backside of the device. Even better if it had a build in SD card reader (or at the very least micro sd card storage), maybe a second usb slot thats recessed into the design so we don't have to worry about snapping off thumb drives that stick up in the air, and even cooler could be a plastic horn molded into the attachment to reflect sound from the rear emitting speakers towards your ears! Oh yeah, and it could have a rotating kickstand!
how about a real docking station? with USB ports normal hdmi connection, etc etc
I want a nice car dock that will allow a passenger to sit in the passenger seat.

I like your idea~ sounds very good.I think this is a real docking station..
I just received my KF today in the mail and the package only came with the KF itself and a wall charger. Is it supposed to include a data USB cable?
Nope. There's just the Kindle, charger and the little piece of cardboard telling you to turn it on iirc.
Wow nice, poor choice on Amazon's part. I understand it depends on the Cloud but not everyone is using it. Now I have to buy an aftermarket cable to put anything on it. I'm a bit disappointed.
My Kindle came with a normal USB cable you can remove from the wall part and put into computer...I don't think it would be any different. Just like all chargers from HTC Samsung etc lately

It does not come with a usb cable, just the device, power cord (ac adapter with a usb micro connected to the end) and a cardboard brief info card... That is it.
As a wifi device, no usb cable is required, though you can use one to save files from your computer.

i've searched online but cannot find a cable that will allow me to do what i want. basically plug into the bottom of the phone and output audio via cable into the 1/8 in. plug on the headunit. i'm not expecting titles or anything on the headunit. just want audio out.
i couldn't be the only one with this idea.
