Toshiba HD-A2 Player HD-DVD Player

Description:
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. 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.
