Hi all,

Hoping someone can shed some light on my scenario? I currently have a basic DVD setup comprising of the following: Pioneer DEH840MP deck with CDRB20 Auxilary adaptor with single audio input from the DVD player and a 7" screen.

I want to however install an addiotional 2 screens (headrest) and a playstation 2. To my knowledge in order for all these to work together I need an A/V splitter LUXMOBIL do a 4 channel A/V splitter 4 Independant inputs and outputs, remote control switching etc.

Here is the big question, if I connect the dvd player to channel 1 audio and video then from the output of channel 1 I connect video to the screen 1 and the audio to the Auxilary adaptor how will I get sound from channel 2 with the PS2?

I want to setup so that I can have independant sound from relevent source?

All help much appreciated

if you wnat to watch the same picture on the both screens my suggestion would be to use that piece and add a video amp and splitt output #1 to both screens. you would still be ably to control the input but you would just use output #1 . If you want to watch different pictures on the 2 screens that is a whole other bag of worms.

Thanks for the reply, I understand how to get the picture from two different sources i.e dvd player and ps2 however not sure hoe to get the audio to the relevent output? i.e screen 1 &2 watching movie from dvd player and screen 3 playing ps2 although the audio connector is only connected to channel 1 with the dvd player how does audio get to output for screen 3?

I'm a little confused, so I'm gonna go with what I think you're saying. What I'm getting is that you want each TV to be able to play any chosen source with the sound of that same source coming out of that TV. (i.e TV 1 playing dvd audio and video, while TV 2 and 3 playing PS2 audio and video) If that's the case, I want that same exact setup, so I think this might help you.

From the control, you can select which source each TV plays (I believe that there are full sets of RCA's for inputs AND outputs), and you even get a third set of RCA's on the control. I think you can find this on eBay for about $130, in my opinion it's worth it. I hope this is something that will help your situation.
