  Toshiba Exposes HD DVR Combo

By Wire Service | Wednesday | 13/06/2007

Toshiba, which is struggling to get traction in the HD DVD market and the LCD TV market in Australia with mass retailers like JB HiFi refusing to stock their CE products, has given a glimpse of what might be just ahead for the Australian market in the HD disc war when it introduced to the Japanese market two high-definition Vardia DVR and HD DVD recorder combo decks yesterday.

n addition to a built-in HD DVD recordable drive, the new DVRs also include dual tuners, adding the ability to record two digital HD television programs simultaneously.The units also integrate Toshiba's Vardia engine, which supports "significant enhancements to ease of use and performance, including faster drawing of the graphic user interface (GUI) and improved HD DVD disc operation," Toshiba said.

The Vardia engine adds two new capabilities to the double-recording process including: live chase play of a program as it is still being recorded; and playback and editing (chaptering, etc.) of other recorded programs while recording.
