Hi Damien

As Martin says, use the screen mounted buttons to check that its not on AV2 or whatever... but I am sure you will have tried that.

The monitors typically have a 6 way block connector with two AV inputs on them plus power. There is also a flying 3.5mm jack socket - which wont be used in most installations from what I have seen - this is actually for IR and NOT audio so dont connect it up.

I would try first connecting a monitor/TV to the DVD changer at the back to verify that its outputting video - then if ok, check wiring all the way to the seats.

If you decide to ditch the DVD changer, then a small media player like the one I used works great for very little cash, plus, plays mp3 and many other video formats.... more useful these days than a DVD player by far.

If you need help with the 6 way connector, please shout - its very easy to wire this up for any other use.
