5.0 out of 5 stars HD-D3 PLAYER WORKS PERFECTLY, December 3, 2007

By	Gerald Schoenburg (MOORPARK, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This model HD-D3 is the Costco version of the HD-A3...It's identical.

I had the same problems with this model as the previous reviewer did. I hooked my unit up to the internet via the ethernet port and downloaded the firmware update. It was a very large update. Following that upgrade, the unit worked perfectly.

The only problem I have with HD DVD players in general are the disk themselves. They must be perfectly clean before you view. I find even brand new disks need to be cleaned. I never get the pauses, skips, and stoppages if I clean the disk first. If you rent from a box store, or Netflix, they are especially vulnerable.

I also have an A20 as my 2nd tv is 1080P. It works great providing the the disks are clean, not damaged, the and firmware is current.

I am also getting a BLU Ray since finally the prices are coming down. This way I have more titles to choose from, and if either fails, I'll have a player for either! Enjoy!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Value, December 28, 2007

By	T. J. Wittenberg "tjw914" (Olympia, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Comes with a 6' HDMI cable, 2 HD movies in the box and a mail in coupon for 5 more HD disks. I downloaded firmware version 1.3 from the Toshiba website, burned a CD and popped it in before I played any DVD's. It automatically detected the new firmware and loaded it. I have since played both old and new disks. No problems at all. Would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for the $$$, December 12, 2007

By	Daniel Pratt "Sacdjp" (Sacramento, Ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked this up when it was on sale for around $150. It also came with 10 movies. So far I have had no problems. The HD movies are really nice. It also makes regular DVD's look really good too. I'm actually thinking of buying another if the price is right.
