Toshiba HD-A35 with HQV's Reon chipset? Does anybody know if Toshiba HD-A35 is going to use HQV's Reon chipset, which is the one in HD-XA2.

Hi Karen, I contacted Toshiba a couple of days ago...THEY don't even know about the specifications on this player. Sorry, tried to help.

Dear Karen,Toshiba finally came accross with some info. The HD-A30 and HD-A35 WILL NOT have the HQV Reon chipset. It will have Anchor Bay Technologies (ABT) Chipset. Hope that helps!

I know that on my HD-XA2 you can choose which level of definition you want. From 480p to 1080p. Also, it has a feature on the menu that allows you to go from HD DVD to Standard DVD. So, I guess you can fiddle with them to get the results you want.Hope that helps, and, I hope everything works out for you.

A35 is also confirmed to pass 480i from owners on AVS forums. Other note is that the Reon in recievers like Onkyo 875/905 does not have as good as an implementation or user adjustable settings as does the same Reon in the XA2. However, new owners on AVS say that the A35 is so close to the XA2 that it is probably the better buy unless you want better build quality from the XA2.

When I contacted Toshiba today the rep said the 30-watt PA3922U-1ACA or -1ARA have been replaced with 45-watt adapter PA5072U-ACA, where do I verify this, what do I believe? more confusion.

Don't know. I have a X5470. If your X8350 uses #32 and #33 cartridges, you should be OK.

The Toshiba Satellite A30-151 accepts DDR PC 2700 333MHz(maximum 2GB with 1GB/slot), which is precisely this memory. HOWEVER, I've had several Toshiba Satellites, Dells and HPs in the past and I found out that unlike the Dells and HPs, the Toshiba laptops are VERY finicky when it comes to the BRAND of the memory. I've had situations where I had two different memory brands where both had the EXACT same specs and the Toshiba laptops would accept one brand and not the other. It had been a while so I do not remember which brand I used, but I just want you to be aware that your machine may not accepts the memory you bought for it, even though it is the correct memory.

Did you happen to try this card in the laptops? I have the same AR5BXB61 card and looking at this intel 5300. Or was there another card that worked better in the Toshiba laptops?

I have a 701hd and have spoke to Sony about this. The xa-nv300t has not had an official release in the USA. The person I spoke with said according to the specifications on the 300t....it should work... They did not have very much information on the 300t and would not guarantee that it would work. I have decided to wait for something more concrete from Sony before I drop 250 dollars to find out myself.

Edward, You have answered your own ? already.....as far as i know D.H is only offered @ this time with the 2100 max but will also be available on the New 7200T(which is about to be released at the end if this month-if everything goes as plan)

Hey my Friend, Thanks for your imput. Just want to get a clear understanding about HDMI and Composite connection differences. My HDTV is 3 years old with composite only connection. Will HD DVD give me 1080i reception capabilty. I now have the Dish 622 reciever and get HD quality no problem. Simply put does the Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD player have composite connections along with HDMI. Hope I've made myself clear enough. Thanks Much ... RD

Brit ... do you watch non-Region 1 DVDs? If you watch DVDs from other regions, the Oppo DV-980H is a good buy. If you watch only Region 1 DVDs, and do not need the DV-980H other capabilities (SACD, DVD Audio, High Res. JPEG, DivX, etc.), consider getting the Toshiba HD-A30 or the HD-A35 HD DVD player. These two models are actually HD DVD players but upscale SD DVDs (slightly) better than the DV-980H. These 2 models have the same ABT video processor used in the DV-983H, but sells at a lower price as HD DVD has been discontinued. Boot up time of these 2 models is longer than the DV-980H (its about a minute) but you have the added capability of playing HD DVD movies which are now heavily discounted, some selling for less than SD DVDs. I have both the DV-980H and the DV-981HD, and both are very good models. I am certain that the DV-983H is as well built as the 980 and 981, with a bit more improvement on the video as well as the audio. I have both the HD-A30 and the HD-A35. Both are very good HD DVD players. Both are also very good DVD players. Were it not for the discontinuation of the HD DVD format, these 2 models would sell for much more. I understand that Toshiba's production cost in mid-2007 for the HD-A30 was for approx. $400, while the HD-A35 was for approx. $500. Both are built like a tank. Getting the HD-A30 for less than $200 is a very good bargain. The HD-A35 with its more advanced audio capability is also a good bargain despite its premium over the HD-A30. That said, the DV-980H has capabilities that the Toshiba HD DVD players do not have. If you have need these or have some use for these, then you can't go wrong with the DV-980H. Good luck. Edit: The price of the Toshiba HD-A35 has gone up from $230 to $300 shortly after the post above so its no longer as good a bargain as before. The HD-A30 however remains a good buy under the conditions described above.

I do not have a toshiba and I refer you to your manual. That said, the following sitehttp://www.datamemorysystems.com/parts/toshiba/PA3312U-1M51/list your computer as using a Toshiba PA3312U-1M51 RAM. The specs listed for this RAM module are512MB, 333MHz, DDR333 PC2700, 200p SODIMM, 2.5v which is the same spec as the PNY MN0512SD1-333you are asking about. Since JEDEC sets standards for DDR333 PC2700 SODIMM chips (http://www.jedec.org/standards-documents/docs/jesd-79f) that must be met by all chip manufacturers, the two chips should work the same. Before ordering, look at your manual (or look at the RAM currently existing in your computer) and confirm that it is DDR333 PC2700, 200p SODIMM.

@ LeoI have the DV-980H and the DV-981HD. I also have two units of HD-A35 in use (with several more HD-A30s as backup). Toshiba's giving up on HD DVD was a big disappointment but the lowered prices on its HD-A35 and HD-A30 was a boon to many. The picture quality of a DVD played back on the HD-A35 and HD-A30 is about equal to the PQ of a DVD played back on Oppo's new top of the line DV-983H. This is not surprising since they all use the same ABT video processor.

Thanks for this recommendation. I have a Toshiba A30 HD DVD player, now defunct, but plenty of movies for it and i use it as my standard DVD upscaler. This is just plugged directly into my 42" Samsung LCD. But when going with a receiver, I understand the A-30 uses an optical output for audio, and does not pass through but rather mimics the actual audio encoding. Would the 605 take audio as an optical input from my A-30?

In addition to what Jake and thomman mentioned, the A35 has (future) Deep Color support. In the future (hopefully), directors will shoot movies in this new video format and allow for billions of shades/grades of colors (versus the current millions) to give an even sharper and more detailed picture. Only the A35 is ready...the A30 &A3; are NOT. Also, thomann mentioned DTS HD...this surround format has several levels within itself but only the A35 can do the highest lossless uncompressed version (DTS HD Master Audio) via HDMI due to the High Bit Rate Audio option. The A35 is the better one of the three for a futureproof HD setup! Well worth the extra money!! In addition to what Jake and thomman mentioned, the A35 has (future) Deep Color support.

If I understand this correctly, True HD is sent to your receiver as a PCM signal, it will appear on screen as PCM multi channel. Eventually the toshiba machines should receive firmware updates to change this, but for now, I think that's correct.

The biggest difference would be the HQV Reon Upscaling chip in the 876, and the Farjouda chip in the 806. The Reon is one of the best chips in the market. If you care about upscaling lower quality video to near-1080p, then the $300 will most likely be worth it. If not, the 806 will be fine.The HDMI output is already mentioned. The 876 also comes with a HD Radio Tuner.Hope that helps!

The correct lenovo part # for the internal dvd burner is 0a65626. The ASIN you sent ( lenovo part # 43n3214) is 2 generations old and is not for the x230 although if you order from LPC we will ship the latest replacement in 0a65626. This item is a internal dvd burner and goes into the ultrabay slot on your x230 notebook or tablet. It does not work on the X230H - lenovo model #'s are suffix specific. The external usb2.0 dvd burner is lenovo part # 0a33988. Regards,LPC
