Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery
The HD-DVD format is one of two competing high-definition DVD formats that is available to consumers (Blu-ray is the other format, which is backed by Sony). Toshiba is the main backer of HD-DVD. Both systems utilize new Blue Laser and video compression technology to achieve high definition video playback on the same size disc as a standard DVD.
The Toshiba HD-A2 is the entry-level HD-DVD player from Toshiba. Utilizing the HD-DVD format allows for true high-definition (720p, 1080i) playback of new HD-DVD discs. In addition, the HD-A2 can play back standard DVDs with up to 1080i upscaling. To find out more about the HD-A2, check out the rest of this Product Profile.
The HD-A2 not only plays back HD-DVDs, but is compatible with standard DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, and DVD-RW playback as well. In addition, via the HD-A2's HDMI output, standard DVDs can be upscaled to match the 720p or 1080i with battery like dell Inspiron 1525 battery, dell Inspiron 1526 battery, Dell HP297 battery, dell GW240 battery, dell RN873 battery, dell XR693 battery, dell 0XR693 battery, dell 312-0625 battery, Dell Latitude X200 battery, Dell 8U443 battery, Dell Latitude X200 battery, Dell 312-0058 battery native resolution of HDTV's, thus providing the best possible viewing experience from both HD-DVD and standard DVDs.
Standard DVD playback is limited to the DVD region where the unit is purchased (Region 1 for Canada and the U.S.). There is no Region Coding for HD-DVDs (Yet!).
In addition to its video playback capabilities, the HD-A2 can also playback standard CDs, and audio CD-R/CD-RW encoded discs. However, the HD-A2 is not compatible with WMA or MP3 encoded discs.
