Can it be used without a computer? Can a regular monitor be connected to the dvd and left connected to complete the system?

Yes, it is a computer itself (Linux machine). You can connect a monitor directly to it.

You can connect it via HDMI or DVI, there is no USB video source unless you have 2 monitors.

Yes you can as I already tried it just to make sure it worked out of the box quickly so I didn't go through unplugging my old DvD player if it didn't work. If your new monitor has built in speakers you will get sound and video. If you do not have speakers then you will get no sound,I believe there is something you can get to have the audio go out to computer or something else but I don't know what that is offhand.

This will not work without a monitor, I disconnected the monitor VGA from the unit & the audio did not work.

I agree it is a great projector. If your computer has a DVD payer, you don't need a separate DVD player: just connect the projector to the computer.

It is a stand alone unit. You do not need to plug into a computer; however, it will NOT copy DVDs that you have purchased in the store. They are all copy-guarded.

DVD drive is not included. You will need to purchase an external DVD drive if you need one.

No. I'm sure there is a way of doing it but not without accessing the hard drive directly. However, since the unit has the capability of transferring to a DVD directly from the hard drive why would you consider going that route?

If you do not have access to a network where you can access the contents of the DVD ... then you will have to purchase an external DVD drive

Yes you can connect it to a computer. Just hook it to a eForcity VGA adapter, which happen to be available right here on amazon.

I have my computer, a dvd player and surround system hooked to it. You can direct connect a dvd player with an HDMI cable.

No computer needed. This device is all inclusive with its own recording and storage software. I would suggest a bigger memory card for video storage though. You do not need internet if you are do not need to view from remote location.

Daniel, you can't use it without a computer, the tablet itself acts like a second monitor with touch capabilities. Hope this helps

You can get an external dvd drive that you can hook up -- they are pretty cheap these days. Ofcourse, you could use another machine that has a drive and put it on drop box.

No, it is only a display/monitor with touch screen and pen. You will need a computer with dvi video port and USB.
