Digital camera reviews of Toshiba HD-A3 720p/1080i HD DVD Player
Digital camera Review: Toshiba HD works fine
Summary: 4 Stars
The good: Upscales standard DVDs to high-def resolution; half the price of first-generation Blu-ray players; upgradable firmware via built-in Ethernet port or disc.
The bad: Slow start-up and sluggish operation; terrible remote control; spotty HDMI compatibility; quirky audio controls; network connection can't be used to stream media from PC; larger than most DVD players; small list of titles lest available.
The bottom line: The Toshiba HD-A3 bests the early Blu-ray competition in terms of picture quality and price--but only home-theater enthusiasts are likely to endure its long list of early-adopter caveats.
Digital camera Review: WOW, GREAT PLAYER
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot believe these are not going to be made anymore. The picture is crystal clear in HD-DVD mode and also will up-convert all normal DVD movies as well. Great deal at $75 from Tiger Direct, fast shipping and also 2 free movies in the box. I have no plans to buy a Blu-ray player, I may but a playstation 3 that includes it, but for now I am very happy with this purchase. Oh and you can now find 1/2 price HD-DVD movies in stores like Circuit City.Digital camera Review: As Promised

Everything was by the numbers. They said what they were going to do and they did it. Digital camera Review: HD DVD PLAYER (TOSHIBA)
Summary: 4 Stars
Plays my bought DVDs fine, and of course HD DVDs Great. My normal DVDs play really well using the HDMI upgrading cord,and the movies are crystal clear.
Easy to use and understand remote and I like it.
The only Con that I have, is that I have a few Home Made DVDs, both DVD-R and DVD+Rs that I have transferred some of my older movies,cooking shows, family etc on. These play beautifully, but then cut off (Stop) and I have to restart them, I now watch the time on the front counter to see roughly where I am at,so I pick up from the beginning to where I left off.
However, A Good Buy for the money. I am sorry the system has been abandoned for the Highly Over Hyped and Over Priced Blue Ray.
Digital camera Review: A great unit, still a great value
Summary: 5 Stars
Had one for a month,(bought on EBAY for $60). Just bought a second one on EBAY for the bedroom. Have purchased a handful of HD DVDs to play and subscribe to Netflix HD DVD.... the up conversion works great and have had few problems in playing.... once had to take and wash a movie from netflix to get finger prints off, but then it played fine... for those not wanting spend the big bucks for bluray and then live through all the firmware upgrades until they get it right, this is a good option... Toshiba still supports and when I called them they sent me the latest firmware to upgrade. We love watching the movies on it and feel this is a good value... HD DVDs are about 1/3 the price of bluray right now so can pick up your favorites for around $10.. I expect to be downloading HD movies before I find a need to move to bluray...
