Default Headsets connected directly to a DVD player?

I think you have a couple choice.
If this is your aircraft you should buy a $15 3.5mm cable and just
solder it into the back of your intercom (almost all intercoms have a
music input in the back).
If this is a rental you could use a portable intercom and just bypass
the ship's.

Finanlly, you could buy her a nice headset that comes with its own 3.5
mm receiver for mp3, cd players, etc.

I've done all 3 !!

I would like to provide entertainment (portable DVD player) for my little
girl on long flights. She has a set of headsets. There are plugs in the
back seat to connect to the intercom.

What's the best way to have DVD sound through her headsets?

1) I could plug from the DVD into the external music but I'd have to run the
cable from the back to the front. Also, I have a 396 and would prefer to
use it in the external music plug.

2) I could get her some headphones for the DVD but that wouldn't be too cool
and it might let too much noise get by.

3) Plug her headsets directly into the DVD. This doesn't work. Is there
some way I can make that work?
