Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this model at BB. It came in a package with an antenna. This combination works well and I am glad to be able to put my HDTV set to good use. I thought that I would not get reception being that I am more than 20 miles away from the nearest station. But to my surprise, I got the main network channels and some others with this receiver and the packaged indoor antenna. I would recommend this to anyone looking to try out HDTV and do not want to deal with rooftop antenna setups. One hint that I have for this unit is that you should place the antenna in a good area before having the receiver scan for available channels. Initially, I could not get my local FOX channel. But after bringing the unit upstairs to do the autoscan, I was able to get the channel in its memory. Then I just brought the unit downstairs and hook it to my HDTV set and place the antenna where I can get decent signal for my preferred channels. The quality of HDTV on my projection TV is amazing.
Description of Sylvania 6900DTE ATSC/HDTV Broadcast Set-Top Box Receiver
Sylvania 6900DTE ATSC/HDTV Broadcast Set-Top Box ReceiverGet a jump on your living room's high-definition makeover 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. 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 (Sylvania recommends its DX multi-directional antenna, model DTA-5000), the receiver pulls 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. 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 ATSC sources.
