Can my kids watch a movie on these screens inside a hotel room? or are they only powered inside a car? What is the wall outlet for?

Far as i know the plug has to be those ciggerrette plug things so I doubt that they can watch it inside a hotel room :) but I saw someone said there was a wall charger? Maybe it was included but mine is used strictly for the car so I never checked. hope this helped!

We use a wall adapter that has two USB ports on the side. Then plug it directly into the wall. It work great, 5 minute charge gets you a 2 hour movie, easily.

They can either be wired in or simply plugged in to the cigarette lighter outlet. Each TV needs it's own outlet though. Same movie can be played on both screens. There is a mode button to switch between each input.

Scott, you will need access to a wall outlet for these speakers. There is no way to power them without the wall plug.

It comes with a wall plug in as well.. But Caution..we had two of these, sent both of them back because they did not work. 1) wouldn't play the 2nd screen without flashing on/off.. 2) Wouldn't play any dvd's.

I can answer one of your questions for sure. The speakers are in the back. My husband is the electronic guru and he isn't here, but he mentioned there is a USB port to watch movies on a thumb drive. Hope this helps

I know nothing about blue ray players...What I do know is that the plug on the speakers is a small one that is just like the ones you plugged into your regular desk top. Yes, you do have to plug it into the wall for the power to work...I am very happy with mine for my desktop. For me, the sound is good when I go online to listen to my sermons. Hope this helps.

I really don't know. I always have it plugged into the car outlet and it has never turned off automatically, I never use stand alone. I love the big screen and so far the product has been great for me.

I have the monitors hooked up to my car stereo which is a DVD player so they can be watched by same movie or you can watch different movies or one can watch the movie playing on car DVD player or you can watch different movies on both

I was curious about the same thing? Have you been able to find out yet? Also? Although this may sound like a stupid question, are you able to download these movies or music then take them with you in the car for example and let the kids in the back seat be able to watch them on their kindles?

NO. You have to wire them up to a keyed power source in your vehicle. These screens are great... They do require a little work to get them installed and wired correctly. But no more difficult than any screen system.

The camera is portable but must be plugged into an outlet. The parent unit (video screen) does not need to be plugged into the wall at all times. It has a built in rechargeable battery and has an adjustable "kickstand" on the back for optimal viewing angle. The range is in our experience is a few hundred feet.

There are three ways you can power this unit. The easiest is to do yourself would be to use the cigarette lighter plug adapter plugged directly into the port at the bottom of the screen. If you don't want a wire hanging from underneath the monitor you can use the same cigarette lighter plug and hook it up to one of the wires that goes into the seat via the headrest poles which will require you to open up the upholstery on the back of the seat to fish the wires through and make the connection there exiting the bottom of the seat. If you would like a more permanent install and not have to sacrifice your cigarette lighter outlet you can use the other included wiring harness and make two connections: black wire to vehicle ground, red wire to 12 volt switched power to shut off power when the key is off. If the seat you are putting the headrest in is a power or heated seat it will be easy to do with wiretaps and a multi-meter if you know what you are doing as the units draw very little power and have an inline fuse. From there you just want to make sure you have enough slack in the wires and can fully adjust the seat forward and back without putting any tension on the wiring. This unit is very simple to hook up in my opinion and if you are not comfortable doing it any reputable car audio or mechanic shop should be able to handle it and should only take 30-60 min per headrest depending on the vehicle. There are many youtube how-to videos on how to install these that can save you some money even if you just run the wires through the seat and would rather pay a shop to make the electrical connections for you if that is what worries you as this is what takes the majority of the time to install.

You can use your laptop usb to charge it or any wall usb outlet you use for your cell phone. Keep it off to charge faster but you can watch movies indefinitely if it's plugged in. There's 4 indicator lights that stop blinking when it's fully charged. I hope you recieved one that's not doa! Good luck!

You can charge the DVD player while watching a movie, as long as you have a nearby socket. It works on trains and buses. Not sure about airplanes, never been on one, but it should work.

You have to power them on at least the way mine are wired. They are really good though I have 2 of them and my kids love them! You can watch the same thing on both screens with one disk or you can watch 2 seperate things at a time if you have 2 of them.

Yes, I have mine plugged into the receptacle in the back seat. There are some lose cords for the kids to get around but this is a very good unit. I have had it over a year with no problems. The screens attach firmly to the headrests and the earphones work well.
