Toshiba HD-A30 - HD DVD Player User manual

THE HD-A30 TAKES THE PERFORMANCE AND CONVENIENCE OF HD DVD TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
For the highest level of picture quality with today’s best performing high definition TVs, the HD-A30 adds 1080p
output. That’s twice the resolution of a 720p signal. The HD-A30 is equipped with CE-Link HDMI™-CEC connectivity.
This convenient feature offers the capability to communicate with and control another HDMI-CEC compatible device in
a completely new way.
1080p/24 frames per second (24p) support offers a smoother, more film-like, viewing experience. Traditionally,
movie films are captured at 24 frames per second. The HD-A30 HD DVD player maintains this frame rate, allowing
consumers to enjoy movies in their native frame rate.
High definition playback delivers 720p/1080i/1080p resolution, up to
six times the resolution of DVD*. Using leading-edge efficient video
compression standards makes it possible to experience the full potential
of your HDTV.
Advanced audio, including Dolby®TrueHD, Dolby®Digital Plus and DTS®
HD (core only), along with legacy formats including Dolby®Digital and
DTS®bring an increased sonic realism to movie soundtracks.
Slim chassis cosmetic design is only 59.5 mm and features a sleek
high gloss, black acrylic face plate - a perfect complement to your HD
LCD television.
Backwards compatibility means you can enjoy your existing library
of DVDs and CDs, and through the process of upconversion and output
through HDMI, your movies are scaled to match the resolution of your
HD display for near-HD picture quality.
Web-Enabled capability opens a whole new world of entertainment
experiences that can include access to exciting studio-provided
enhanced features.
Ethernet connection allows your HD DVD player to receive updates to
support future applications and services.

IMPORTANT NOTES
HD DVD with high-definition content required for HD viewing. Viewing
high-definition content and up-converting DVD content may require an
HDCP capable DVI or HDMI input on your display device. Up-conversion of
DVD content will result in near HD picture quality. Firmware update may
be required for some interactive features depending on content, which
may also require an always-on broadband internet connection. To take
advantage of web-enabled network content, installing the latest firmware
(ver.2.3 for HD-XA1, HD-A1, and HD-D1; ver.2.2 for HD-XA2, HD-A2, HD-A2W,
HD-D2, HD-A2C, and HD-A20; and ver.1.0 for HD-A35, HD-A30, and HD-A3)
is required. Web-enabled features require an always on broadband connection
along with specific movie titles that include this form of content. Some
features may require additional bandwidth. Some recordable media may
not be supported. MP3/WMA audio files not supported. Dolby Digital Plus,
Dolby TrueHD and DTS support for up to 5.1 channels (DTS HD support for DTS
core only). HDMI audio output requires connection to a PCM capable device.
Because HD DVD is a new format that makes use of new technologies,
certain disc, digital connection and other compatibility and/or performance
issues are possible. This may, in rare cases, include disc freezing while
accessing certain disc features or functions, or certain parts of the disc
not playing back or operating as fully intended. If you experience such issues,
please refer to the FAQ sections of www.toshibahddvd.com or www.tacp.

availability of firmware updates that may resolve your problem, or contact
Toshiba Customer Solutions. 1080p capable display required for 1080p
output resolution. Use of CE-Link which is a feature based on HDMI-CEC
requires an HDMI-CEC compatible display device. Depending on the
specifications of your display device, some or all CE-Link functions may not
work even if your display device is HDMI-CEC compatible. For 24p output,
content that was created in 1080p / 24 frames/sec is required. Viewing
24p output requires an HD display capable of accepting a 1080p/24Hz
signal. Some features subject to delayed availability. While every effort
has been made at the time of publication to ensure the accuracy of the
information provided herein, product specifications, configurations,
system/component/options availability are all subject to change without
