Rear Entertainment System Question?
Ok, I've got dual drop down screens and 4 wireless head phones. If the two in the backseat have their Game/DVD player plugged into the console red/white/yellow rca inputs and the three in the back are watching the DVD that's being played in the front seat stock system...how will the headphones know whose watching what?

I think I found my answer HERE If I keep the headphones on channel 1 they belong to the factory DVD, If I switch to channel 2 they play the other audio source. My goal is to have two movies going on at the same time, with the headphones working in concert with the correct screen and myself up front listing to the radio. I'm going to give this a try and see if it works.

Hey Randall - you are right about the channel setting on the side of the headphones. The Channel (1 or 2 ... it may also say a or b) is what tells the headphone which DVD screen to receive a signal from. So, if both headphones are set to Channel 1 , then they will be tuned to whichever DVD screen is transmitting on channel 1. Hope that makes sense

We have a quasi rule about the kids getting to watch DVD's on trips... if its a "routine" long trip i.e. visiting relatives out of town/state watching movies and plugging in is permitted... if its a vacation with scenic routes or a new destination... DVD's and plugging in is not allowed, the trip is part of the vacation, seeing new things and soaking it in...sometimes there is a pop quiz afterwards....

Three...it's gonna be a twelve hour trip from ATL to MD....and back....I need as many distractions as possible. It' boils down to Star Wars episode III or Barbie Mermaidia...On a side note I was not able to get the screens to play different video inputs at the same time, according to my manual if I pushed the Aux button on the remote it was supposed to go both screens DVD, then both screens Rear Input, then front screen DVD and rear screen Rear input, and finally front screen on Rear input and rear screen on DVD. But it would only show either source on both screens. I'll have to ask the dealer what I'm doing wrong.

I completely agree, that is also our rule. "Look kids Big Ben Parliament"

x3, yep, same here. Just got back from Grand Teton / Yellowstone. The DVD screen was closed and portables (DS/PSP/LeapPad, etc.) were off for the duration. Poor kids, man they have it rough!
