HD DVD - The Look and Sound of Perfect

HD DVD with high-definition content required for HD viewing. Viewing high-definition content and upconverting DVD content may require an HDCP capable DVI or HDMI™ input on your display device. Upconversion of DVD content will result in near-HD picture quality. Firmware updates may be required for some interactive features depending on content, and may also require an always-on broadband internet connection. To take advantage of web-enabled network content, the latest firmware (ver.2.3 for HD-XA1, HD-A1, and HD-D1; ver.2.5 for HD-XA2, HD-A2, and HD-A2W, HD-D2, HD-A2C, and HD-A20; and ver.1.1 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). Use of High Bit Rate Audio requires a High Bit Rate Audio compatible AV receiver. 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 tacp.toshiba.com for information on possible work-around solutions or the availability of firmware updates that may resolve your problem.
