Toshiba HD-A30 HD-DVD Player
(With 2 Free Movies In The Box)

For the highest level of picture quality with today´s best performing high defi nition TVs, the HD-A30 adds 1080p output. That´s twice the resolution of a 720p signal. The HD-A30 is equipped with CE-Link HDMI™-CEC connectivity. This convenient feature offers the capability to communicate with and control another HDMI-CEC compatible device in a completely new way. 1080p/24 frames per second (24p) support offers a smoother, more fi lm-like, viewing experience. Traditionally, movie fi lms are captured at 24 frames per second. The HD-A30 HD DVD player maintains this frame rate, allowing consumers to enjoy movies in their native frame rate.

Please Note: Toshiba has announced that it will no longer develop, manufacture, and market HD-DVD players. HD-DVD players will continue to play HD-DVD discs and upconvert standard DVD discs to 1080p high-definition resolution. As a benefit to our customers, as long as we have HD-DVD players in stock, we will offer them to you at drastically reduced prices so you can enjoy high-definition entertainment at a very affordable cost.

Received as a Christmas present. Hooked it up to my Tos HL167 47'' 1080p LCD. It played the included discs flawlessly. Plugged it in to my computer ethernet and it downloaded and installed the latest firmware in 25 minutes. HD-DVD is stunning and I was amazed at the upconverted 1080p 24 fps quality of regular DVD's. I would buy this player for that feature alone.

Bought this player for my dad for Christmas, to go with his new 52'' 1080p Samsung LCD. Amazing picture quality via HDMI, awesome sound via optical into his Yamaha receiver (hopefully he'll upgrade that to a HDMI-capable receiver for Dolby TrueHD/DTS HD capabilities!). So far all HD DVDs have played back flawlessly, same as my own XA2. And the upscaling of regular DVDs is amazing, almost on par with my XA2's REON chip. All in all, this was a great purchase when I bought it for $249 from a local B&M store. At today's price of $179, a no-brainer! Buy this and enjoy the features that Blu-ray still cannot do (true picture-in-picture, full web-enabled interactivity, etc)...

Toshiba makes a good HD-DVD player but unfortunately Warner Brothers just went Blu-ray exclusively. That mean only Universal and Paramount studios now support HD-DVD. Warner will totally end support for HD-DVD in May. Disney, Sony, Fox and many other studios are Blu-ray exclusive. According to most experts HD-DVD will not survive the year. At the Consumer Electronics Show Toshiba did not display any new models or talk much about HD-DVD. Toshiba does make excellent LCD TV's which I recommend.

Great player, if it worked. Will play regular DVDs with no problem. Freezes up with HD. I could not watch one movie all the way through. A firmware update, which everyone says is needed, was difficult to download and did not help. Great picture but only if you are satisfied with watching half a movie. I returned mine and am waiting for technology to improve. Toshiba apologized and had nothing else to say.

Great player for the price. Fantastic picture even on my tv that can only accept up to 1080i. Sound is incredible. The only downside is that the player takes about a minute to a minute and a half to boot up once turned on.

What You Should Know

What Is High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic.  Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).  DVD are also in standard definition.  Standard definition (480i & 480p) is lower quality than high definition.  Many older TV sets are standard def, and can only show standard def content (programming).  Many new TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV).  They are capable of showing high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all.

How To Protect Your HDTV And Make It All Work!
You've bought your ideal television or home theater, but have you considered how you will protect it, or make it all work together?  It's not as complex as it might seem, but it is important to consider, since devices may work differently, and have incompatible modes.  Plus after investing in your hardware, bad things can happen to damage them.
  • MOST IMPORTANT: SURGE PROTECTION
    Power Protection For Your HDTV & Home TheaterIf you have a computer, you know all about surge suppressors and battery back-up UPS devices.  But do you have a UPS for your HDTV and Home Theater system?  HDTVs and Home Theater systems are just as susceptible to surge and power damage as computers, so it is critical you add a very good surge suppressor or UPS to your setup at once! Plus if you have a UPS, you'll be able to watch TV or listen to music if the power goes off! (for as long as the battery lasts of course!)

    Click Here for Power Protection products.

     
  • CONTROLLING IT ALL: ADVANCED REMOTE CONTROLS
    Advanced Remote Controls For Your HDTV & Home TheaterAlmost every device you have came with a remote control, some even are called Universal Remote Controls.  But every device, HDTV, or Home Theater component has special features and functions, not supported by the generic Universal Remotes, especially if you want "One Button" control of several devices at once.  For these you need Advanced Remote Controls, that not only control everything, but reduce it all down to One Button tasks that even a Cave Man could operate! 

    Click Here for Advanced Remote Controls.

     
  • GOT HELP? GET AN INSTALLATION & SETUP SERVICE
    Expert Certified Installation & Setup Help!With some of today's HDTV and Home Theater systems, you may want to consider getting expert help from certified technicians that can quickly install your HDTV on your wall, hide the cables and wires, balance the display settings and the 7.1 surround sound, for the maximum in sound and picture quality.  You can still tell your friends and family that you did it, it will just be our secret!
