Set phasers to stun! Or rewind. Or pause. You can, with the new remote control for Toshiba-brand HD-DVD players. To get one, you have to buy one of the players ($250 and up) AND the dual-format boxed set of “Star Trek: The Original Series: Season 1” (about $200, releasing Nov. 20). Live long and prosper … hopefully, lots of prosper to afford toys like these!
