 Yesterday Onkyo released details on their forthcoming HD DVD player.
The Onkyo DV-HD805 will be a 1080p24 player with support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, as well as DTS-HD and Dolby Digital +. In addition to allowing the player to decode the audio track and output as multi channel LPCM as previous players have, the DV-HD805 will also be able to output the uncompressed audio as a bitstream, to be decoded by an AV receiver or preamp/processor. The DV-HD805 will also contain a Silicon Optix Reon HQV chip for superior upscaling and deinterlacing ability.
Available Fall 2007 with a suggested retail price of $899. |

In a press release from Toshiba today, Amazon has named the third generation Toshiba HD DVD players as one of their top holiday picks this year.
One or all of the second generation Toshiba HD DVD players has held a spot in Amazon's top ten selling DVD players since May. Amazon consistently has HD DVD and Blu Ray titles appear in their top ten of overall DVD sales. Amazon does not release their sales statistics, and Nielsen ratings do not include Amazon's sales. |

As anticipated last week after Amazon posted and then pulled product descriptions for three new models of Toshiba HD DVD players, today it was made official .
The HD-A3 at $299.99 replaces the entry level HD-A2, and is still limited to 1080i output, with no mention of 24Hz support. The mid level HD-A30 replaces the HD-A20 at $399.99, and now supports 1080p24. Also on the way is the HD-A35 at $499.99, which also outputs 1080p24, and throws in support for Deep Color and has 5.1 analog output. It remains to be seen whether the HD-35 is the replacement for the flagship HD-XA2, or whether it's merely a HD-30 with multi-channel analog audio output.
The HD-A3 and HD-A35 are due in September, with the HD-A30 arriving last in October. Expect to see Toshiba introduce the new models at CEDIA next month. |
