Samsung SIR-T351 ATSC (HD) Tuner

Terrestrial HD receiver

Whether you're upgrading your PC or your HD-ready TV to full high-definition status or paving the way to buy an HD-ready set sometime soon, Samsung's SIR-T351 digital TV receiver is a cost-effective and versatile component for your entertainment system. After all, over-air HDTV broadcasts are free for the watching--no special service is required. Just plug in your receiver (and possibly an external antenna, not included) and start channel surfing.

The SIR-T351 tunes and decodes all 18 ATSC broadcast formats. You can view HDTV and even SDTV, standard-definition television (NTSC 480i format via S-video or composite-video output), so you don't even have to wait for an HD-ready TV. Select DTV programs offer Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo or Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, which the SIR-T351 passes to any compatible surround-processing audio/video receiver and a multichannel speaker system.

You get a wide selection of output options, including 1080i, 720p, or 480p/i DTV formats, and connection options including one each component-video, composite-video, and S-video. Audio jacks consist of a stereo (left/right) RCA output and a pair of digital-audio connections (one each optical and coaxial).
