  • This product does not play HD DVD or Blu-Ray discs. It upconverts standard definition (480p) DVD content to HD (720p, 1080i or 1080p) to match the resolution of your HD display. Although near the picture quality, it does not produce or output native HD video content.

  • To display upconverted 720p, 1080i or 1080p video content, a 720p, 1080i or 1080p capable HDTV or HD Monitor (as applicable) with an HDCP capable HDMI or DVI input is required.

  • Compatibility with other HDMI-CEC products will vary by manufacturer. Some products will not be compatible at all or may only allow for limited functions.

  • The effect of enhancements may vary depending upon disc content quality and display device capability/functionality/settings. Depending on the quality of the DVD disc, some video noise may be visible.

  • Some DVD-R/DVD-RW discs may be incompatible due to laser pick up and disc design. Some recordable media or recording formats may not be supported.

  • Viewing 24 frames per second requires content created in 480p / 24 frames/sec and an HD display capable of accepting a 1080p/24 Hz signal.


  • Please Note: Design specifications and dimensions are not final and may be subject to change. Please confirm specific features and exact dimensions by reference to the product itself.

    Great Product, great price.

    "Great Product at a great price. I liked the player so much I bought one for a relative. The up conversion displays the DVD beautifully. Comparing it along side with a Sony Blue-ray player there was a small difference but the difference in my opinion was not worth the Blue-Ray player price and the high cost of the Blue-ray DVDs. I have a DVD library of over 500 Discs and the cost of changing over to Blue-ray is o..." Read Full Review »

I bought this in November and in December it was no longer working (4 weeks). I have to return it with Toshiba not Best Buy per Toshiba. At first, the product performed decently and then took on a life of its own. After a week and a half of owning this play..." Read Full Review »

    "I am a collector of movies.... many many DVD's that make the advent of the HD quality movies both a wonderful new direction and still a big frustration. One can't start over every time there is a new level of sophistication.

    "Very Cool! Crisp clear images from my old DVD's. REGZA Link allows the DVD player and the REGZA TV to control each other using the DVI cable. Put in a DVD and the TV automatically changes input. DVD controls on the TV remote work without even entering the code. "
