of course it will work... companies would not make money if you couldn't mix and match pieces... i have a mixed audio/video setup and it works great. '

don't listen to those amateurs..

Mixing audio components is not a good idea if you want to have control (remote, front panel or touch screen) for the DVD changer from the head unit. If you simply want to have the DVD changer play as a stand alone player using it's own supplied remote control then OK. In other words, only video and audio can be passed on standard RCA connectors, most DVD changers and head units have proprietary connectors like Clarion's CeNET or Pioneer's IP-Bus that allows components to work better together.
