Sylvania 6900DTD High-Definition Terrestrial Set-Top Box/DTV Receiver 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.

What's in the Box
Receiver, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and warranty information.

♥♥♥♥♥ Standard
This has component outputs, the analog way to transmit a HDTV signal. There is nothing wrong with that, because they carry full resilution of HDTV. Almost no Projection HDTV has DVI, smaller HDLCDs do not, really only expensive Plasma, LCD, and Projector sets do. And thats great, because it preserves the digital qualiy, but every HDTV set will work fine with this, and there is no basis for a one star rating.
