'Soundtrack support for high-definition disc players has always been confusing, but getting a handle on exactly what the BH200 can and can't do is mind-boggling.'
'Unfortunately, of the three HDTVs in my lab that support 1080p24 input, none were detected by my BH200 test unit.'
'The HD-A35 measures nearly 17 inches wide by two-and-a-half inches tall and almost 13 inches deep, weighing about seven-and-a-quarter pounds.'
'disappointing performance'
'The many dark scenes are never murky on a good display, and there aren't more than a handful of shots here that aren't in tight, crisp focus, including long shots with a startling depth of field.'
'On that basis, the HD-A35, at a little over 2" high and 7.5 lbs soaking wet, looks a bit scrawny next to the "old" HD-XA1 .'
'It failed some of the more difficult tests on Silicon Optix's HQV test suite; for instance, the waving American flag was full of jagged edges with the HD-D2'
'Ethernet connection for interactivity and updates.'
'The design of this unit is far less bulky, far more in keeping with the other high end components in your entertainment system.'
'It failed some of the more difficult tests on Silicon Optix's HQV test suite; for instance, the waving American flag was full of jagged edges with the HD-A2'
'When Toshiba's first generation HD-A1 HD DVD player arrived on the scene it reminded me an awful lot of that trusty old bug: slow, ugly and clunky,'
'the remote is largely unchanged from the HD-A1, which means it's pretty awful in everyday use.'
'Hard-to-use remote control.'
'the operation of the player was terrible.'
'Opening the door exposes a simple two-way switch that is used to select standard- or high-definition video output, along with two USB ports that may be used for future expansion options'
