Rick Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Up for grabs is my Toshiba HD-A30 HDDVD player, and the fantastic Eagles Farewell 1 Tour HDDVD disc. I am the original owner of the Toshiba, having purchased it at Circuit City after HD DVD lost the death match with Blu-Ray. It is in very good condition for its age (I can only find a light scratch or two on the top of the unit) , and it comes from a child/smoke/pet free home. I probably used it to play about 50 movies in the first year I owned it, and since then it has only been used on occasion to watch the Eagles disc. It is a pretty good DVD upscaler, and I believe it would also make a great CD transport. Of course, the picture quality on HDDVD's is fantastic. The Eagles disc is of reference quality. Anyone who has seen the DVD (or has been fortunate enough to see this HD DVD) would likely agree. While not advertised on the back of the case, I have read where others have said that it is DTS HD-Master encoded. But, the HD-A30 does not decode HD-Master (though it does do Dolby TrueHD). The next model up in the line (HD-A35) did decode HD-Master. Nevertheless, when I still had a multichannel HT setup, it played this disc in 5.1 PCM (96/24), and it sounds just incredible. It is also nice to have the entire show on 1 disc, unlike the DVD which is on 2 discs. Details on the Toshiba: 1080P HD DVD Playback or DVD Upscaling Dolby Digital Plus/TrueHD Decoding DTS Decoding VRS by Anchor Bay Video Processing Sharc Audio Processor by Analog Devices (up to 192kHz capable) Composite/Component/HDMI Video Outputs Analog/Optical audio Outs Included in the sale are the Toshiba HD-A30, remote, owner's manual, power cord, a 6' HDMI cable, and the Eagles HD DVD disc. I no longer have the original box, but it will be very safely packed for shipment. My asking price is $65 Shipped. As always, I can only accept a Postal Money Order/Certified Check, sorry for the inconevience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 That Eagles HDDVD disc is the best music video I own. It's a great one to show off your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Wuz, I was using an XBox 360 HD DVD drive but disconnected and boxed it long ago. I know I have some HDDVDs laying about somewhere; I'll take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yep, even wrapped a towel around the player so it wouldn't get scratched. Hope that doesn't break up a set Rick! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yep, even wrapped a towel around the player so it wouldn't get scratched. Hope that doesn't break up a set Rick! LOL. Yep, I admittedly have a touch of OCD, and I'm a perfectionist... [] Have you tried it out yet? That Eagles disc is hard to beat!! The only thing "bad" about the HDDVD players is their painfully slow loading times, but it never bothered me... Thank you once again, and enjoy!!

Rick Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I forgot that I wanted to ask you, do you have any other HD-DVD's? I believe they can still be found really cheap. As a matter of fact, these are local to me, and if you'd be interested I could pick them up for you: http://elmira.craigslist.org/emd/3532446640.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I did put in the disc. Played 'Walk Away' and it sounded incredible. Then my wife said she wanted to watch TV. Oh well. I actually have one HD-DVD/DVD combo disc, Firewall with Harrison Ford. Thanks for the offer on the craigslist HD-DVDs but I already have most of those movies on Blu-Ray.

Rick Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wait until you can sit down and watch the complete show, it is nearly 3 hours long. Have you seen it on DVD before? No problem on the discs, just thought I'd ask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I actually bought a Toshiba HD-DVD player after they had been out for a while. Had the Eagles concert. Didn't have the system I have now so I can't wait to watch the whole thing at reference level! I ended up selling the player after HD-DVD was discontinued. I always regretted doing that. Anyone who is an Eagles fan should pick up an HD-DVD player just for that disc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
