CeBIT '07: Toshiba HD-EP10 HD-DVD player

By CNET.co.uk staff


The HD-EP10 is Toshiba's answer to Sony's affordable Blu-ray player.
Even before Toshiba's HD-DVD player hits Asian retail shelves, there's a new one that's basically the same, but cheaper.

The HD-EP10, unveiled at CeBIT, has a similar look to its bigger brother but is made of standard DVD player plastic rather than the HD-XE1's bullet-proof, shiny metal. Crucially, it can output video at 1080p for the very best HD-DVD picture quality.

Its release follows recent price drops for rival Blu-ray players. The HD-EP10 is Toshiba's answer to Sony's affordable Blu-ray player.

The HD-EP10 has a network point so that, in the future, the player will be able to download extra content related to the disc, such as up-to-date movie trailers.

It supports the latest Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio formats for the highest-quality surround sound, and has all the connections you'd expect, from HDMI to optical digital out. Unlike the top-end HD-XE1, there are no analog 5.1 audio-out connections, but you can't have everything.
