Menards! Oh you're baiting me right? lol They will have exactly ONE unit
per store and it will be sold before the ad comes out.
If you buy 2, you can buy a short Y splitter that will plug into the power
cord. For short trips, the DVD's built in rechargable batteries are good
for several hours.

So, buy two DVD players; no splitter needed...

Great idea!

But, wait...then I have to split...the power cord to the back seat!

Augh!

Go with the 2 players, no discussion over movie titles!

Kids are smarter than that. They'll both want to watch the same DVD at the
same time. g

Yes. Are you suggesting two kids wouldn't want to watch the same DVD at the
same time and each in his/her own player?

I missed the two player part, only getting same DVD, same player.

You guys are sure good at spending my money!

I would really like to take the seats to my interior shop, and have the
guy build the video screens into the backs of the headrests or the seat
itself.

Anyone (besides Boeing) tried doing that?

Jay,

Where did you find this menu? I looked on my 396 yesterday to figure
out if I've got this on the wrong setting, and I couldn't find anywhere
where I could toggle from Line Out to Headphones.

Finally I navigated to the "Sound" page in the 496, and found a menu
item named "Audio". Selecting that gives you two choices -- "Line
Out" and "Headphones". It was on "Line Out" so I switched it to
"Headphones" -- and SHAZAAM! -- it was like night and day!

The stereo sound we *THOUGHT* was so excellent was suddenly ten times
better, and the "static" problem instantly went away. So, even though
"Line out" sounds like it makes sense (feeding into the intercom),
obviously the right choice is "Headphones" -- and that's where we left
it....

It's under "Sound" after you've hit the "Menu" button twice.

Or, at least it is on the 496. I don't know if the menus are the same?
