Fantastic picture Great price 1080i/ 720p output great for 720p HDTV's Fast startup time Slim design of the unit Adequate remote Some reviews of other Toshiba HD players have stated that you can't pause the movie, and come back to it later but I have not found this to be the case. As long as you leave the unit on, you can pause the movie as long as you want and resume it when you want to. Plays DVD+R discs with no problem even though this is not a stated feature. Cons: no 1080p output- not an issue for me since I have a 720p TV. Haven't come across any. 96 of 110 people found the following review helpful: Fantastic Sleek Player!, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Toshiba HD-A3 720p/1080i HD DVD Player (Electronics) I just got my A3 and it's absolutely fantastic. The load times are fast, start-up is fast and it's an aesthetically pleasing device. Sleek new slim design, lightweight and includes non-combo edition of 300 and The Bourne Identity HD DVDs, fully packaged in red elite cases. I also have the A2, and prefer this third generation unit but the A2 is still a solid, and great machine. The A3 upconverts DVDs beautifully, watching DisneyDVDs is great and they look amazing. Of course HD DVDs also look great, especially Troy Directors Cut, Transformers looks beyond words - just an amazing movie experience, and The Matrix is gorgeous. I also recommend Shrek the Third next week, that will be gorgeous too. Finally, the A3 is a solid player, better load times than the A2, slightly smaller, a beautiful chassis that really compliments your HT and Toshiba REGZA or any piano finished black TVs, and a great value. I recommend it. 39 of 43 people found the following review helpful:  Excellent player for first time HD-DVD, By This review is from: Toshiba HD-A3 720p/1080i HD DVD Player (Electronics) This is my first HD-DVD purchase and an excellent player for the price, features, and free HD-DVDs! First, the reason for a four star rating is the initial boot-up / load time for the player. Although the start up time is slower than regular DVD players, I found that once you are actually watching a movie or jumping around menus during a movie, those actions are definitely faster than a standard DVD player. Okay, now that that's out of the way, I can get to the good stuff. I ended up purchasing the A3 two weeks ago at BestBuy for $175. They were also running the 10 free HD-DVDs promotion and I had a 12% rewards zone coupon. I had been on the fence about Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, but couldn't resist this price. I had missed out on the $99 Walmart deal for the A2, but I think this is a better deal in the end with the extra HD-DVDs you get. Setup was easy. Just plug in the HDMI for video to my TV and plug in the optical audio out to my...Read more |
