Yeah, I have had success hooking up my DVD player in this manner. In fact, on sets I have restored for other people, I have added A/V jacks, as most folks don't even want to fuss around with a tuner anymore.
But I sure learned my lesson one time-I hooked up composite video directly to a hot chassis set-one of those awful GE split B+ sets. It very slowly fried the video output, creating an overloaded mess on the screen before I realized what was happening. It didn't totally ruin the DVD player, but the video out was trashed. Luckily, the luma out jack still works, which works just fine for fixing these old sets.
