Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD high-definition player

Take home theater to the next level with the sleek HD-A2 from Toshiba. This HD DVD player creates stunning high-definition images that are even sharper and more vibrant than HD television broadcasts. Movies come alive with startling detail and exceptional depth.

HD DVD: true high-def video from a disc
While regular DVDs look good on an HDTV, they can't deliver true high-def video, even if you're using an "upconverting" DVD player. On the other hand, HD DVD has been designed from the ground up with high-definition television sets in mind. HD DVD discs have a much greater storage capacity than regular DVDs, and can hold multiple hours of true high-definition material. Additionally, HD DVD uses newer, more advanced forms of video compression that allow for smoother, more natural images.

Better sound from your home theater system
This increased disc capacity allows for higher-definition audio, too. New versions of the Dolby® Digital and DTS® surround sound formats — known as Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD — offer purer sound with an unprecedented level of detail. The 'A2 can even decode 5.1-channel Dolby TrueHD soundtracks, which employ lossless compression to deliver a remarkably faithful reproduction of the movie theater experience.

Compatible with your current DVD and CD collections
The versatile HD-A2 can play standard DVDs and CDs, as well as home-burned CD-Rs and CD-RWs. The 'A2 can upconvert standard DVDs to resolutions that better match high-definition TV sets, so your existing DVD collection will look better than ever. It also includes a network port for possible future upgrades. And the remote has buttons that glow in the dark, making it easy to operate the player even when the lights are low.
