It's been awhile but when a flew LH on a wide body Airbus that had handheld movie players, they were unimpacted by any onboard announcements (old tapes in em, no connectivity.). Was the most peaceful, uninterrupted pre-takeoff I've had. Now this was Europe to Africa, not in the US, different regulators, but that was standard equipment so I doubt that it violated anything.
