It sounds like shorting the original inputs will indeed effectively ground the input path and cause the signal level to drop. Without the schematic diagram showing exactly what is going on, it is hard to say for sure. You probably won't damage anything by trying this, however. You certianly will not damage the amplifier, since it is designed to handle low impedance input sources. The DVD player will still be buffered by the pot, so no damage to its output should occur (you may want to start by turning the volume down all the way just to be sure).It is likely that even if these inputs could be shorted, nothing would be gained. Shorting inputs to preamps SOMETIMES makes sense since unused high-gain inputs can sometimes pick up noise and stray signals that can get into the signal path, depending on the layout and circuit design of the preamp. This may or may not apply to your amplifier input circuit.
