Does this player connect to a tv to serve as a dvd player or is it only portable?

Help appreciated thanks
Answer
The features list indicates "AV and Headphone Jacks, Plus AV Cable" so it should have everything you need.
I would look at the manufacturer's site to be sure of what it offers.

Driving to Florida with 4 kids, and one on the way... tips?
Preggo egg
We go to Florida every March break with the kids. This year it'll be easier because all the kids are; of course- a year older, and more mobile. The twins are 3 and my other 2 are 5 and 7. However, this year I'm pregnant. Not even a month yet, but I have terrible morning sickness ALL DAY. I must admit, it isn't as bad as it was last week (I'm taking something for it), but it still gets bad, and I'm afraid the long drive there (24 hours to be exact) is going to be sticky.
Any advice on how to keep myself sane, and how to keep the kids occupied? I know I've been down there about 10 times, but it's always a challenge and I'll take any extra advice I can get! We will be stopping in Washington to sleep a few hours before continuing to drive!
Thanks!
Also, we're staying at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando... anyone been there/knows anyone about it?

Ge them each a little backpack and pack it with things that your children like to do, relevant to their age group, as well as little snacks and such. You can go to the dollar store and get them little games and stuff to keep them occupied such as perhaps crayons, coloring books, writing pad, pencil, little toys, perhaps small books, or even cheap mp3 players with their favorite songs on them. etc. It would also not be a bad idea to pick up a portable dvd player for your children to watch little movies and stuff on. You can also set up a little scavenger hunt for them, (such as find mommy a green car, etc) you can play I spy, and even sing along to their favorite songs with them. Perhaps you can even find them a cheap kids camera (wal-mart, 20 dollars apiece) and let them take pictures of all the interesting things they see and etc. this will keep them busy for a while.
you can go to craigslist.org and find a cheap portable dvd player in your area that you can buy. My husband and I found an awesome one for our 2 year old son when we went on a trip to oregon (we flew... 18 hour trip including layovers, and three planes there, three back....) and we paid only $40 dollars for it.
also if you have a few extra dollars, it would be a great investment to pick up some little leapster for your children, as these have multiple games they can mix and match and can keep them occupied for hours.
you can probably find one or two cheap on ebay, craigslist ( i just looked and they have them used for as low as $25), or go to wal-mart, they are $50 apiece, but they will provide you with sanity for years to come.
also how about driving down at night. That way the children will be asleep and you can keep your sanity then as well. just pack extra sipppy cups in case they wake up, and put on some soft music in the car. You can watch your kids the day before and let your husband get some rest, and then when he is driving down, you can rest, or since the kids will already be asleep, if he gets too tired, he can pull over at a rest stop for a few hours. then when you get to florida, you watch the kids for a few hours while he takes a nap, he can do the same for you, and that night, start up with you old routine.
