Toshiba HD-A1 HD DVD Player
Already acclaimed as one of the most exciting technologies of 2006, HD DVD from Toshiba lets you watch movies the way they were meant to be seen: in stunning high-definition video, right in the comfort of your home. The new Toshiba HD-A1 HD DVD player delivers outstanding resolution, bright, vivid colors and stunning sound from the next generation DVD standard adopted by the DVD forum. The HD-A1 is backwards compatible with standard DVDs and allows you to enjoy your existing collection of DVDs, and even upconverts the standard DVD video to output resolution of 720p or 1080i, matching the output to the resolution of your HDTV using the all-digital HDMI interface. And with the built in multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (2ch), DTS and DTS-HD, the HD-A1 will bring improved fidelity and sonic realism to your DVD movie soundtracks.
"The Toshiba HD-A1 does a fine job upconverting conventional DVD's to 1080i using its internal scaler. While it doesn't quite reach the quality of HD-DVD's played at 1080i, the backwards-compatible HD-A1 allows the user the ability to play his/her HD-DVD and conventional DVD collections to their full picture-quality potential on the same player..."

DVD Features
HD DVD Playback
High Definition video requires a tremendous amount of space on a disc, thus a new Blue laser (versus a Red Laser for DVD) is utilized for HD DVD. The blue laser, with its shorter wave length, allows for information to be stored more densely on the disc, thus improving storage capacity by about over 3 times compared to that of a red laser technology. Additionally, more accurate and efficient video compression like MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 (based on Microsoft's Windows Media) compress information to achieve file sizes that are less than half of those of the current standard DVD's MPEG2.High Performance Disc Drive
HD DVD not only provides a deliverable HD media format to the home, but does so with the potential of greater performance than you have experienced with HDTV. The HD-A1 disc drive has an astounding 36.55Mbps transfer rate. To put that in perspective, standard DVD has an average bit rate of less than 10Mbps and HDTV's maximum rate is 24Mbps.Backward Compatibility
Enjoy backwards compatibility and play your collection of standard DVDs on the player. In addition, via the HDMI interface, the HD-A1 scales the standard definition DVD output to a resolution of 720p or 1080i to match your HDTV's performance. Not only does this output the video in HD standard resolutions, but because the conversion takes place in the player, the signal remains free from excessive digital-to-analog conversion artifacts.Audio System
Built-in Multi-Channel Decoders
The HD-A1 has built-in processors to handle the multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (2 ch), DTS and DTSHD. It employs the use of four DSPs to decode the multi-channel streams of the wide array of audio formats. These 32-bit floating-point DSPs are world renown for their high accuracy and are employed in many high quality audio solutions in the home theater market.Output Terminals
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
HDMI is the first industry-supported all digital Audio/video connection providing the transmission of uncompressed digital video and multichannel audio on a single cable. When matched with a compatible HDTV, this single cable connection ensures that all signals remain in their pure digital form. The HD-A1 will output HD content through the HDMI interface in the native format of the HD DVD disc content of either 720p or 1080i.ColorStream Pro Component Video Output
These outputs allow the video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component video equipped interlaced or progressive scan TV. When this connection is utilized with today's HD-compatible sets, typical NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity.
High Definition Multimedia Interface
HDMI is a new standard digital connection between A/V devices, such as a set-top box, DVD player or A/V receiver, and a digital television. HDMI offers exceptional video and audio quality with a single quick-disconnect connector. It supports multi-channel digital audio transmissions and component video color spacing for true rendering of HD video.
