It's not great. Perhaps in its time it was but not anymore. Save your money.

This has been a great little iPod. I recommend it to anyone who wants a good mp3 player to jog with or just clip on for a long poker tournament.

I bought one of these memory cards because I wanted a Class 6 speed. Anyays, I have been very happy with it for several months now, and have not had any problems. I also do not notice any difference in speed over my SanDisk flash card--seems to be comparable as far as I could tell.

The Toshiba HD-A3 HD DVD Player allows everyone into the HD DVD game with a very affordable price tag. Don't let the price fool you, however; it offers many features and an excellent build quality.

A Refined, Slimmer Look
The HD-A3's refined design--with rounded edges, a slim chassis, and a high-gloss black face plate, standing less than two-and-a-half inches tall--looks sleek and elegant in your home theater system without taking up too much real estate.



The Toshiba HD-A3 has an Ethernet port to support HD DVD titles with interactive online features, as well as to keep the player refreshed with firmware updates. View larger.


In addition to HD DVD, the A3 can also play DVDs, DVD-R/Ws, DVD-VRs, CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. View larger.
Outstanding Performance
All of Toshiba's HD DVD players support the enhanced features of the HD DVD format, including picture-in-picture video, audio commentary, and Web-enabled network capabilities. With an Ethernet port, the HD-A3 can connect to the Internet for firmware updates to keep the player up to date on new features, and to support the growing number of HD DVD titles with interactive online features and bonus content.

The HD-A3 features an HDMI interface that carries both a video and an audio signal in one cable for the highest quality and convenience. The A3 outputs video at 720p and 1080i for a detailed and sharp image. The HD-A3 has progressive scan capability, which means it eliminates the scan-lines of interlaced video and produces a clean image with no motion distortion and artifacts.

Sparkling Surround Sound
The HD-A3's built-in circuitry processes the multi-channel decoding of Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, and DTS-HD (core only).

Plays a Variety of Formats
The HD-A3 is backward-compatible with your DVD collection: It can play and upconvert DVDs to the HD resolution that is being output. It can also play DVD-R/W, DVD-R, DVD-VR, CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formats, so you don't need extra players taking up space.

The HD-A3 is backed by a limited 1-year warranty.



More resolution than regular DVD (up to 1080i).


Upconverts standard DVDs to the output resolution.


Tons of new interactive features and bonus content.

What's in the Box
HD-A3 HD DVD player, remote control, and power cable.

Dark picture
8/22/2008
Overall the player is a great deal for $59 but it has one irritating flaw. Pros- Clear picture, plays compressed dvds, boot up time is reasonable. This was exaggerated by previous reviews.
Con- The picture is dark whereby a blue suit looks black. I have to adjust tv brightness controls on lcd tv with each hd-dvd. This is a pain since I have to switch it back for tv viewing.

Toshiba HD-A3 and Sony BDP-S350: peaceful coexistence at last!
8/6/2008
I just purchased the brand new Sony BDP-S350 Blu-Ray player and put it on my rack right next to my Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD player, which I bought in November of last year.

Both machines do a fantastic job on high def movies and upconversions!

Since the electronics industry couldn't agree on one standard, I had to take matters into my own hands and agree on 2 standards. Since the HD-DVD library is so extensive already, even without any new product in the pipeline, there is plenty to choose from. And at great prices from Amazon!

Eventually, Blu-Ray discs will come down in price, too. It's inevitable.

Watching movies on a high def disc is well worth it, even with 2 incompatible players! Its the sharpest and purest medium of all. The ultimate in HD.

Peaceful coexistence at last!

HD-DVD is a great bargain
8/2/2008
The Toshiba HD-DVD player was a good choice for me as I have a huge collection of DVDs and I wanted to add several HD-DVDs to my collection. The Toshiba plays all of my discs with no issues and they look great on my HD LCD TV. I won't invest in Blu-Ray until the prices come down. Since the price for the Toshiba HD-DVD was so reasonable and now that I have seen the excellent look for myself, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Good solution until Blu-Ray technology gets cheaper
7/25/2008
Great price for a high-definition DVD player that upsamples well. I have no interest at this time in paying five times as much for Blu-Ray!

one fantastic hddvd/upconverter
7/23/2008
I have had this Toshiba HD DVD player for over six months now. When I want to show off my Samsung HDTV, I always choose the Toshiba over Comcast HD cable. The amazing thing is that the player is worth what I paid for it just for the upconversion of standards dvds. They look incredible and are more often than not difficult to distinguish from HD DVD's. The only downside is that the thing has to boot up like a computer, which takes about a minute or less.
I think this HD DVD player truly deserves a five star rating with its outstanding picture, and it doesn't hurt that I paid $79.99 for it, got 10 free HD DVD's, and then received a $50 gift certificate from Amazon after Blu-ray won the format war, which was an outstanding deal. At this stage in the game if I were buying I would go with a Blu-ray, but I am happy and confident that I went when this HD player from Toshiba.
