Toshiba HD-A35 HD DVD Player - (HDA35) Toshiba has announced their third generation of HD DVD players which add to the very impressive and popular HD-A2 range of players. Their latest third generation of players come in three versions, the Toshiba HD-A3, HD-A30 and the HD-A35. -1080p resolution (1920 x 1080p) -Capable of outputing signals at 1080p/24 frames per second -High gloss, black acrylic face plate -HDMI-CEC -Support for Deep Color via HDMI
The Toshiba HD-A35 HD DVD Player stands less than two-and-a-half inches tall but packs a long list of cutting edge features that will help you get the most out of your home theater system. With support for 1080p/24-frame video, Deep Color, and HDMI pass-through audio, this player makes it possible to achieve a viewing experience that's as much like being in a theater as you can get without going to one.

A Refined, Slimmer Look
The HD-A35's refined design--with rounded edges, a slim chassis, and a high-gloss black face plate--looks sleek and elegant in your home theater system without taking up too much real estate.
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 A35 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-A35 uses the latest HDMI 1.3 interface to connect to your HD television, providing large bandwidth to eliminate any data bottlenecks and to support new technologies for the utmost in viewing experience. The HD-A35 can output video at 1080p, the highest resolution available, and includes support for 24-frame video, which maintains the native 24-frames-per-second rate of films, thereby delivering an experience more similar to one in theaters. It also supports Deep Color, a new standard that breaks through the 8-bit color depth limitation of existing HD video and allows a wider range of color than ever before.
Of course, the HD-A35 upconverts from other resolutions so all your standard-definition DVDs display in near-HD quality on your HD television. In addition to 1080p, the HD-A35 also outputs at 720p and 1080i if desired.
High-Definition Audio
Audiophiles rejoice! The A35 has HDMI pass-through audio: The audio signal can bypass the HD DVD player's internal audio processor and feed directly into an A/V receiver. The HD-A35 can output 5.1 channel analog audio and, with HDMITM, High Bit Rate Audio (up to 7.1 channels). With a capable receiver, the lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio standards are then decoded externally and audiophiles will be rewarded with the highest fidelity surround sound possible, adding a new dimension of enjoyment to the home theater experience. The HD-A35 also supports other surround sound audio standards including Dolby Digital Plus, DTS 5.1, and DTS HD (core only).
One-Touch Convenience
You can use the CE-Link (HDMI-CEC) to connect the HD-A35 with other CEC-capable devices for unsurpassed simplicity and convenience. For example, if the HD-A35 is connected to a compatible HDTV, you can turn on both the HD DVD player and the TV and start playing a movie with a single touch of a button on the remote.
The HD-A35 is backed by a limited 1-year warranty.

Six times the resolution of regular DVD (up to 1080p).
Upconverts standard DVDs to the output resolution.
Tons of new interactive features and bonus content.

The best HD DVD player out there:

Got this Toshiba HD-A35 player for my 21st birthday on march 20 2008 (upgrading form Xbox 360 add on). Great picture and bitstream audio capability + hd sound decoding (dtshdma core only) abilty makes this player a perfect fit for any hometheater. start up is a little slow next to my panasonic blu-ray player. however I am still very happy with this player and the qulity it delivers. DVD upscaling is far beter them my dmp bd30 player, but still upscaling is still no match for hd movies with good transfers.... more info

Outstanding product:

I understand that the format war is over and that HD DVD is "dead" but I that doesn't keep me from loving this machine. I bought it for a great price (under $150) on ebay and I have no regretted it. I also have a PS3 and Toshiba A-2 and I have to say that it is right up there with the both of them and even exceeds them in a few areas. The fact that it can bitstream the HD audio is fantastic and even the PS3 (which I also love) can't do that. It's a great upscaler and it's nice that Toshiba is still doing... more info

Excellent player/picture and sound quality!:

I have 2 of these, one a backup and one I use in our bedroom with a 50" Panasonic Plasma and Onkyo sound. Although some discs had trouble with this player,and I had to outsmart it with a few tricks (yes the old scum remover with dishwashing liquid, because the laser supposedly was more sensitive to any kind of residue left on discs by production process), I've been very happy with its performance. Upscaling is satisfactory. It does a better job than my 80GB PS3, and my Panasonic BD30K used in the... more info

Scared because of Blu-Ray:

This player worked just fine for me "out of the box". Coupled with my HD TV (not flat screen or Plasma) it is terrific. Only thing is I am afraid for the money, that the HD Format is going the way of the old Beta. No one has been able to tell me if in the future Blu-Ray will be the only HD format sold on DVD's. I would check this out before I spent the money on this one. If HD is available for sure, this product is sincerely great.
