You wont be able to do the alternate 1 screen on one source and 2 on another source without a decent av master.

You could have 2 sources and a source switcher which would then be connected to a video distribution amplifier, all no more than £30-£40

You have lost me now, i think lol.

You want a multi AV switching tool, such as this:

http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CPC+Catalogue&category%5Fname=Audio+Video+%2D+Audio%2DVideo+Equipment+and+Accessories+%2D+Audio%2DVideo+Selector+Switches&product%5Fid=251699

That has 3 inputs and one output.

You connect the L&R audio output of that to the aux in on your headunit.

You connect the video out of that to the input of the veba 1:7 distribution amplifier:

http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=cpc+catalogue&category%5Fname=&product%5Fid=251643


Then you connect your screens to the outputs of that video amplifier.

yea that clarion does what ya want, although i think it only has one input? best place to start mate is your HU manufactor. If you have a pioneer or sumthing, they do switch over boxes that connect the HU directly and you control majority off ya HU
Btw, you can get a simple source selector, ie takes three inputs and has one output, then you simply connect a compostite amplifier which feeds to all of your screens. However, all of the screens will get a single source (depending on what you have chosen on the selector box etc). Look at austins post

However, you wish for each screen to act on their own, ie: screens front and back left could have the playstation, while back right screen has the DVD player etc etc. It can be done, but im not 100% sure how, i believe its called "multi-zone" - This may do the trick

Best bet mate is to have a butchers on google or mobile A/V sites etc
