 Best Value December 28, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Comes with a 6' HDMI cable, 2 HD movies in the box and a mail in coupon for 5 more HD disks. I downloaded firmware version 1.3 from the Toshiba website, burned a CD and popped it in before I played any DVD's. It automatically detected the new firmware and loaded it. I have since played both old and new disks. No problems at all. Would recommend.

I picked this up when it was on sale for around $150. It also came with 10 movies. So far I have had no problems. The HD movies are really nice. It also makes regular DVD's look really good too. I'm actually thinking of buying another if the price is right.
NOT TOO BAD AT ALL December 12, 2007

I also experienced the same problem about pauses and delayed audio at the middle part of the movie, but all it needed was firmware upgrade.
I called toshiba to request the disc for upgrade and i got it within a week.
In my opinion, there is no visual difference between 1080i and full hd.
It comes with hdmi cable, and it did its job, you do not have to buy an expensive one.
HD-D3 PLAYER WORKS PERFECTLY December 3, 2007

This model HD-D3 is the Costco version of the HD-A3...It's identical.
I had the same problems with this model as the previous reviewer did. I hooked my unit up to the internet via the ethernet port and downloaded the firmware update. It was a very large update. Following that upgrade, the unit worked perfectly.
The only problem I have with HD DVD players in general are the disk themselves. They must be perfectly clean before you view. I find even brand new disks need to be cleaned. I never get the pauses, skips, and stoppages if I clean the disk first. If you rent from a box store, or Netflix, they are especially vulnerable.
I also have an A20 as my 2nd tv is 1080P. It works great providing the the disks are clean, not damaged, the and firmware is current.
I am also getting a BLU Ray since finally the prices are coming down. This way I have more titles to choose from, and if either fails, I'll have a player for either! Enjoy!!!!
 Toshiba HD-D3 DVD Player December 2, 2007

I got this HD DVD player from another store and it came with two free DVD's. The player had trouble playing one of the DVD's that it came with- freeze framing and distorting image and sound. I contacted Toshiba and they said it was a software problem and sent out a DVD with updated software to upload new programing into the unit. I did it and it still did not function correctly- same problem. I returned it to the store. Maybe I just got a defective unit but it seemed to respond to all the commands slowly. I am hoping to have better luck with another Toshiba model...
