20-Feb-01

Toshiba is supporting the digital television revolution with its DST3000 HDTV set-top box, now shipping. The DST3000 is a full-featured high definition set-top receiver with built-in NTSC, (8VSB), ATSC and DIRECTVÆ reception to ensure ready availability of high definition TV programming throughout the country.""Toshiba doesn't just make great products, we're developing total solutions,"" notes Scott Ramirez, Assistant Vice President of Marketing. ""Combine our new DST3000 with any of Toshiba's HD-compatible TVs, and you have the perfect HDTV system. In fact, everything you watch will be displayed in high resolution 1080i HD. Connecting the DST3000 to a Toshiba HDTV-compatible TV set allows viewers to enjoy the maximum picture quality from both today's analog television sources and HDTV broadcasts. For maximum viewing enjoyment from all signal sources, the DST3000 upconverts signals from all sources, including antenna, cable and DIRECTV to 1080i HDTV.""The DST3000 utilizes ColorStreamÆ HD high resolution component video outputs to send 1080i HDTV signals to an HDTV-compatible TV and can also send standard 480i to a conventional analog TV. This makes it possible for analog sets to also utilize digital signals, ensuring future compatibility with all digital TV formats. An Advanced Program Guide (APG), included with the DST3000, provides information on satellite and non-satellite channels, as well as a special function that allows subscribers to a caller ID information service to have this information displayed on-screen. An optional satellite dish makes it possible for viewers to receive both standard and high definition DIRECTV channels. For more information, visit www.toshiba.com.
