Description: Toshibas HD-A1 is the worlds first HD DVD player. It produces the sharpest, cleanest high-definition images yet seen, and raises home theater realism and impact to a whole level.Sure, regular DVDs look good on an HDTV, but DVDs cant deliver true high-definition video, even if youre using an "upconverting" DVD player. As TV screens have grown bigger and better, DVDs limitations have become more noticeable — especially on the 1080p displays. HD DVD discs are designed to be viewed on an HDTV. Every aspect of this format has been carefully engineered to maximize your home theater experience.The HD DVD advantage starts with the discs themselves. High-definition video takes up much more disc space than standard video. An HD DVD disc can hold three times as much data as a DVD — enough for several hours of HD-quality video. Along with much better picture quality, HD DVDs increased disc capacity allows for higher-definition sound, too. To ensure backward-compatibility with your existing DVD and CD collections, the HD-A1 actually uses a dual-laser mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition HD DVD discs, and a conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs. The HD-A1 can also improve the look of all your DVDs by upconverting the video signal to better match your HDTVs high-resolution screen.In addition to truly stunning picture and sound quality, the HD-A1s advanced design includes polished on-screen menus and graphics. With HD DVD, Toshiba lets you experience the look, sound, and feel of the future.
