How is this unit powered? I read somewhere that this unit pulls power from the film packs, is that true and can you use impossible films packs with it

Hi. Yes you're correct when it comes to to polariod bring powered by the film. Once you insert the film the camera begins working. You can buy film for this camera with Impossible. Urban outfitters also sell impossible film, so you don't have to order online and wait a couple of days. For the same price. The film is 600.I hope this helps

These players unlike many others have internal batteries. So if you turn off the car the players won't shut off (as long as you have charged them before hand- note they come with wall chargers so you can charge them at home) Then when you are in your car you can connect them to the cig lighter so it won't use up the internal battery. When you turn the car off it automatically switches to the internal batteries so the units do not shut off. HOWEVER it the item does shut off (either cause it doesn't have a battery charge or because you turn the power off manually) - then no, it doesn't remember where you left off and it it will start from the beginning. I tested this several times and each time I powered off the unit (I literally switched the power to off) then it started the movie from the beginning. So in summary if the unit shuts off then it won't remember where you left off and it will start from the beginning.

the power source is the recorder itself. they plug into that along with the video cables. the hard drive has to be plugged in.

You're welcome. I have owned this unit for a little over a year now and it has done a great job. I use it exclusively for Blurays and I have a different stand alone for DVDs.

Yes sir/ma'am, supposedly thats what your paying for with a generator like this one. I rmr doing this same research before I purchased this unit. It has the better rotor that generates the electricity, (If i rmr correctly, when I say better, i mean that it has a brushless generator. That means cleaner/smoother electricity from my findings). I used my 61" LED TV, MacBook Pro, & other expensive gadgets during a 5 day power outtage. NO issues & unit performed flawlessly. To be safe, I'd do what 'Khend' recommends regarding the surge protector below.

I think the labels are a marketing gimmick. Electric current is the same and protects everything plugged in. I LOVE this unit!! I had purchased many others more expensive ones and returned them. This was the best of them all, does not make any noise and has a cool blue light when powered on. I use it for my 50" plasma, Yamaha AV-730, Verizon DVR, DVD Player, VHS, and Wii. highly recommend it!

Does player support video break point. When power is cut & than turned back on again... Can movie start from the point where it was cut? Do I need to program it everytime or is once enough? Power, program & that's all?

Yes it works. At least mine does! And no, film is sold separately. Impossible makes affordable film. Also, I would order a flash bar too if you plan on using it in doors at all.

I dont have any power source by my garage can these cameras work without being plugged in?I know the monitor does need power but the camera by it self does that need to be plugged in ?

I'm wondering the same thing. Wish someone could answer this, I'm really considering purchasing this unit.

Most likey the line going to the camera from the contoler is compromised an not getting power(low voltage).it is the same camera I'm thinking of the Scott 24 volts for power 2 lines. Hoekstra video need to have at least two more lines going for the controller positive and negative check thatI would start with the plug and work my way up to the camera

It gets its power from the recorder. We use two of these with an Olympus recorder and it works well.

The unit is powered by using the AC power supply, and it can also be powered using 3 AA batteries, you should use both together, in a power outage it will switch to using the batteries. Also the frequencies are stored in EEPROM non volatile memory, which means that it will stay in memory even when there is no power. Thank you.

Although you cannot charge battery while the unit is running, I went camping a couple weeks ago and by running the projector with my externalbattery pack (5 volts 2 amps) plugged into the mini USB connector I was able to watch two movies (five continuous hours) with it. The unit got a little warm but it worked like a charm.

Joe- it picks up power through the cable attached to your telescope base unit. There is no individual power source for it.

It is NOT electric powered. You just connect 3 or 4 RCA cables IN (from your DVD/bluray, cable box, Roku, Wii, playstation, etc.) and connect the OUT to your TV. Then you use the switches in the front to choose. Works well.

Yes, i am using the multi out for power. I have noticed with this camera a vertical line that moves left to right. I thought maybe the power source, but tried a different one at 1 ampand still there. Doesn't affect picture quality tho. Maybe someone else has a fix for the vertical line?
