Toshiba announced that its newest HD DVD player, the HD-A20,
is now shipping to
U.S.
retailers. Priced at $499.99 (MSRP), the HD-A20 adds to Toshiba's second
generation of [more] HD DVD players and makes 1080p resolution available at an
attractive price point.
With 1080p output capability, Toshiba's HD-A20 joins the
existing Toshiba HD DVD line-up which includes the entry level HD-A2 and the
top of the line, HD-XA2. This expanded line of products offers enhanced
functionalities of the HD DVD format and is proof of Toshiba's commitment to
the smooth transition to the next stage in high definition entertainment.
Through an HDMI(TM) interface, DVD content can be upconverted to near HD
picture quality. The HD-A2, HD-A20 and HD-XA2 are all backward compatible, so
users can continue to enjoy their libraries of current DVD and CD software.
All of Toshiba's HD DVD players feature interactive
capabilities and an Ethernet port to support networking, to provide users with
the potential to download great content like streaming audio commentary, new
audio languages and new HD trailers when a network-enabled HD DVD disc is
played.
