With the HD-A3, Toshiba delivers the excellent picture, sound, and interactivity features of HD DVD, and adds a new, sleek, compact chassis. The combination of stellar high-defi nition picture quality up to 1080i, near high-defi nition picture quality of upconverted DVDs output through HDMITM, leading edge audio (including Dolby® TrueHD and Dolby® Digital Plus) and web-enabled capability provides a new level of Home Theater Experience. The HD-A3 includes an abundance of audio/video connections plus an Ethernet connection, so that your HD DVD player can be updated to support future applications and services. Web-enabled capability opens the door to new entertainment experiences that can include access to exciting studio-provided enhanced features such as theoption to access the latest trailers of upcoming releases, the opportunity to buy movie-related merchandise, download ringtones, vote in on-line polls, play interactive games, listen to music from the movie, or share a favorite clip with your friends!

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.

How can you go wrong for one hundred bucks with shipping.Mine came with the first 2 Bourne movies instead of 300 but whatever.For the money it is a great deal and the upconvert on regular dvd's is great as well.

Works right out of the box. I saw no need to download any firmware as of yet. Great quality DVD player and thanks for the two free movies. My only gripe is the time it takes to ''boot up'', but other than that, I am truly please and recommend this player to anyone.

When I got my player last night, I set it up and tried to play one of the included HD-DVDs that were in the box. It gave me an error that it was not a valid DVD. I instead tried running A Pixar DVD and it was stunning! The upconversion was fantastic. The HD-DVD had a note that some of the features might not work unless the player was upgraded to the latest flash software. I downloaded the .ISO file from the Toshiba website and burned a CD. After inserting the CD the machine immediately started the update. My HD-DVD played fine after that. Updating the machine is REAL important. In addition, the movies in the box were not the same as the ones in the Tiger Direct ad. I'm not complaining, I think the ones I got are better.

I just bought one, I know Blue-Ray has won the format war, but a DVD/HD DVD player for $90, thats cheaper than any of the other store. I expect the price of these to drop really low in the next few weeks, but I'm looking forward to getting my 5 free HD DVDs in the mail. Luckily most of my HD DVDs are in the DVD combo format. I guess I need to buy a Blue-Ray player or PS3 now.

The HD-DVD picture is great. But I can't recommend it for the upconverting task alone. It takes FOREVER to boot up and regularly locks up requiring a power disconnect to recover. There are other sub-$100 upconverting DVD players out there. I have a Sony that upconverts that I bought two years ago for under $100. And the Sony is ready to play just 4 seconds after pushing the power button.

Toshiba
Toshiba, a world leader in high technology, is a diversified manufacturer and marketer of advanced electronic and electrical products, spanning information & communications equipment and systems, Internet-based solutions and services, electronic components and materials, power systems, industrial and social infrastructure systems, and household appliances.

Toshiba's early history has two strands: 1875 saw the establishment of Tanaka Seizo-sho (Tanaka Engineering Works), Japan's first manufacturer of telegraphic equipment. Its founder, Hisashige Tanaka (1799 - 1881), was well known from his youth for inventions that included mechanical dolls and a perpetual clock. Under the name Shibaura Seisaku-sho (Shibaura Engineering Works), his company became one of Japan's largest manufacturers of heavy electrical apparatus. In 1890, Hakunetsu-sha & Co., Ltd. was established as Japan's first plant for electric incandescent lamps. Subsequent diversification saw the company evolve as a manufacturer of consumer products. In 1899, the company was renamed Tokyo Denki (Tokyo Electric Co.).

In 1939, these two companies, leaders in their respective fields, merged to form an integrated electric equipment manufacturer, Tokyo Shibaura Denki (Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd.). The company was soon well known as 'Toshiba,' which became its official name in 1978.

By continually developing innovative technologies centering on the fields of Electronics and Energy, Toshiba strives to create products and services that enhance human life, and which lead to a thriving, healthy society. They constantly seek new approaches that help realize the goals of the world community, including ways to improve the global environment.

In the office and in the home, on the move, throughout today's connected world, Toshiba applies cutting-edge capabilities to the creation of digital products and solutions that make a difference. A determination to meet diverse market needs in the era of digital convergence supports Toshiba in maintaining their leading position in key digital product areas.  Their product mix is optimized for success in high-growth areas such as digital consumer products and mobile equipment, and in key markets, including the fast growing markets of the world. By delivering core infrastructure for power generation systems, industrial systems and for essential social needs, Toshiba provides firm foundations for society's well-being and continued progress.

As a corporate citizen of planet Earth, Toshiba puts CSR (corporate social responsibility) at the heart of its management. They prioritize respect for life and safety and full compliance in all activities and by every employee. They see environmental protection as particularly important. Through our “Environmental Vision 2050” and voluntary environmental action plan, they aim to increase Toshiba Group’s overall eco-efficiency ten-fold by fiscal 2050, through strict environmental management, cuts in CO2 emissions, delivering environmentally-conscious products and promoting energy saving at their facilities.

Today, Toshiba operates a global network of subsidiaries and affiliates, with some 198,000 employees worldwide engaged in all aspects of Toshiba’s business: from advanced research to procurement, manufacturing,
and sales and marketing. Toshiba’s successful long-term global presence, the very process of enhancing Toshiba’s globalization in fact, rests on the highly capable and motivated local staff who commit to Toshiba. Production at Toshiba Group’s worldwide manufacturing network, including Toshiba Corporation’s 40-plus facilities, covers the company’s diverse product portfolio, including leading-edge semiconductors, TVs, portable PCs, data storage devices, consumer products and power plant systems. Manufacturing
activities are supported by a dedicated procurement organization that operates International Procurement Offices in 10 strategic locations around the world: San Francisco, Boston, London, Singapore, Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Dalian, Shenzhen, and Tokyo.

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
