Review: Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD High-Definition Player - CNET
CNET have posted a review of the Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD high-definition player which plays DVD-Video, DVD-R & DVD-RW, CD, audio CD-R & CD-RW along with HD DVD high-definition discs. ‘The design of the HD-A2 is a welcome upgrade over the bulky, industrial-looking HD-A1. The HD-A2 has a comparatively slim-line chassis, with measurements coming in at about 2.5 inches high, 17 inches wide, and 13.5 inches deep--a full inch and a half shorter than the A1. The front panel is glossy black and sloped forward, which gives it a unique look among more boxy components.
To the far left is the power button, illuminated by a blue light when it's on and a red light when it's off--unfortunately it can't be dimmed. To the far right is the LED display, which, thankfully, can be dimmed or even shut off if you're striving to limit light sources. The bottom third of the player contains a flip-down panel; underneath are some additional front-panel controls such as play, stop, and chapter forward/backward buttons. There are also two USB-like "extension ports" that don't have any use as far as we know.’
