Looks like they have headphones so you can link it in via the headphone jack.

Just checked on mine and as well as the 2 din plugs which connect to the monitors there is a small yellow jack labelled "a/v out", another one labelled "optical" and one labelled headphones.

These are all on the dvd player. On the screens they have individual headphones sockets.

The one thing that marks it out as a budget player is that the angle the screens can be viewed at is not that great but then you do get 2 and for scooby doo and finding nemo to keep the kids quiet you really can't go wrong.

3 year guarantee too.

PS. I noticed it seems to have the same OS as our yamada dvx player but sadly it won't play divxs.

dern, the Aldi website www.aldi.co.uk/
says 'special buys 1st September 2005', which I took to mean that this stuff was available from that date.

Have I misunderstood and this stuff is only available until that date?

No, from 1st September. I got the email (subscribed because they do cheap tools every now and again) on thursday evening and got held up in traffic on friday so popped in on the way to work on the off chance and picked one up then.

I wouldn't hang about though as these sort of things often get snapped up pretty quickly.

Perhaps a dumb question but how do the screens attach to head rests? Will they work on a 911 (i.e. head rest isn't seperate from seat. Thanks

A simple velcro strap.
