Description:
If you're looking for an affordable way to bring your HD-ready TV into the high-definition world--or to venture into the world of high-definition broadcasting prior to picking up an HD-ready set--Sylvania's 6900DTD high-definition TV/digital TV receiver is an appealing choice. The cable-ready set-top box features built-in NTSC and ATSC tuners for both terrestrial SD (standard-definition) and HDTV reception--just hook up an aerial antenna and you're in business. Sylvania recommends its DX multidirectional antenna, model DTA-3500. If you don't yet own the HD-ready TV of your dreams, you'll be delighted to learn that the 6900DTD supports simultaneous SD and HD outputs, allowing you to build a high-definition empire from the receiver on up, enjoying clear, ghost-free images on your current set. Or if you do have an HDTV, this feature lets you watch standard TV in a second room on a lesser set. Alternately, you can feed a PVR or VCR with an S-video or composite-video signal while you watch the component-video output on your component-video-capable or HD-ready TV, since the receiver's component-video terminals offer selectable output modes for 1080i, 480p (EDTV), and 480i (SD). Hook the Sylvania up to a compatible audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system through a coaxial digital-audio interconnect (not supplied) and you'll be ready to enjoy enveloping, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround sound from select ATSC broadcasts. You can configure the output for either widescreen 16:9 or standard 4:3 televisions and monitors, choosing from letterbox, zoom, and full-screen outputs. An easy-to-use electronic program guide (EPG) displays TV programming information, and full V-Chip parental controls let you restrict mature programming from both NTSC and ATSC sources.
