Amazon.com Product Description

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.

5 out of 5 stars I Love HD.......2007-12-25

I am very Happy with the difference that This player makes in the normal dvd's besides of course the way real HD dvd's look. It expands and resizes the normal dvd's to almost look like they are HD. The HD dvd'd look just the same as the best HD TV Broadcasts. The product is very user friendly and easy to set up. It appears that so far the HD DVD's have just about the same availability as blue ray, and the price for the player is about $130 cheaper than the comparable blue ray player.

5 out of 5 stars Great product, great price!.......2007-12-25

I bought the A3 (1080i) for myself, and my son bought the A30 (1080p) for himself, they both work great! Easy to set up out of the box using the internet hookup... Just hook up to the DSL cable and it does the rest, downloads the latest software for carefree operation and viewing... just be patient and follow instructions... if you cannot hook up and download, Toshiba will send you a CD to download the info. Picture and audio quality are great. As one reviewer stated, good response time to remote commands, but a bit slower than a standard DVD player... much more data to load. Also, does a great job upscaling my standard DVDs to look like HD... As for the competitive battle between HD and Blu-ray, no problem, we all win... the prices keep falling... maybe when Blu-ray reaches a reasonable price as has the Toshiba HD, I'll purchase that as well... then I'll have a true choice of what I watch.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Buy!.......2007-12-25

Perfect time to buy! The upgrade has made a world of difference from my old Sony progressive scan player. Caught this item for $169 in late November and prices rose slightly thereafter. If you have any experience at all with electronics, you find this very easy to set up and navigate.
Stick with Toshiba - I have and have never been disappointed!

4 out of 5 stars Toshiba HD-A3 review - excellent starter.......2007-12-24

The HD-A3 is an excellent entry level step into the hi-def DVD world you can make without a huge hit to the budget. It can't do 1080p, but either can my TV, so I wasn't concerned about that. The picture looks fantastic and the colors are excellent and I am projecting onto a 110 inch screen, so it has to look good. My A3 came with an HDMI cable, which carries video and audio for a clean look. HDMI cables can run in the $20-30 range, so it was a nice include. The HD-A3 also doesn't do 7.1 surround sound (only 5.1), but most of the HD DVD players that do 7.1 are cost about double. You also get a good bit of HD DVDs to start with, which would normally run in the $20-30 range. Be wary, the Blu-Ray VS. HD DVD battle isn't over, but for this price, it was worth it to make the jump with HD-DVD (plus betting against Sony hasn't hurt me with the Beta, mini-disc history).

5 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised.......2007-12-24

I ordered this item expecting something good. I did not expect something great. Granted, it did not have every bell and whistle I had come to enjoy in other DVD players and the response to 'power up' or loading a DVD is 'stately'. Putting that aside, the HD DVD player is extraordinary! The picture is wonderful, the options fantastic, and the price was unbelieveable for the product that I received. I cannot adequately express how happy I am with this purchase.

        2 out of 5 stars Cheesy!.......2007-09-28

        Got this for my 30/5Mbps FIOS provision. Was pissed off to find out that it's capped at 20Mbps at WAN to LAN throughput. Must have a real cheap processor.
        This thing doesn't deserve the tittle: "Broadband Router", cause it's not much of a router, and its not really braodband.
        DON'T BUY!!

        PS, US Robotics?!?... I think sleeps with the modems, at the bottom of the ocean

        3 out of 5 stars Good price.......2007-12-29

        Great price. We could not beat it anywhere! But we did but 2 of them for our daughters phones and one of them did not work.

        5 out of 5 stars WORKS GREAT !!!.......2007-10-17

        I bought the SanDisk Transflash MicroSD card for an LG VX8300 cell phone. It is very easy to set up. Simply insert the card into your phone and make sure you have the pix (and/or flix) memory settings to go to card instead of internal memory. The adapter works great for transferring photos to computer. So far, I am very happy with this product.

        5 out of 5 stars Great! .......2007-09-13

        This works great if your phone takes a microSD card. The adapter lets you transfer pictures, music, etc from your phone to your computer. I recommend you get one!
