Sylvania's 6900DTE Set-Top Box is a video receiver that allows you to view next-generation ATSC (HDTV) broadcast signals on standard analog televisions. This unit can receive ATSC HDTV digital broadcast signals using an external antenna source for display on EDTV or HDTV monitors, or for display on conventional analog televisions.

You can get a complete make over for your high-definition TV with Sylvania's 6900DTE ATSC/DTV set-top receiver. Whether you've already picked out your HD-ready TV or you're still using the SD (standard-definition) set you've had for years, the 6900DTE puts you one stop closer to enjoying high-definition programming.

The 6900DTE features Component, S-Video, DVI, and Composite output for video signals, which can be used simultaneously so that you can view and record different content at the same time. Audio outputs include Dolby Digital Coaxial, Dolby Digital Optical, and Stereo L/R. Of course, it's a lot more fun if you're hooking this up with an HD-ready set: when used with an ATSC antenna that will have this receiver pull free high-definition programming right off the airwaves.

The 6900DTE 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 both HD and SD sets. Or--if you do have an HDTV--this parallel-output feature lets you watch standard TV in a second room on a lesser set. This Sylvania Receiver will also enable you to enjoy 5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround sound from select ATSC broadcasts.
