How to Connect

There are a number of alternative methods for connecting the SRT 5020, depending on your preference and the connection types on your TV. These methods are labelled A, B, C and D below. (Connection E, connecting to an antenna, is mandatory for connection methods A, B and C.)

IMPORTANT: Refer to the diagram on page 7 for the location of the sockets identified by numbers in the methods listed below.

A: Y / Pb / Pr (Component) using the supplied RCA blue–red–green lead

For Component video, connect to your TV with the supplied Y / Pb / Pr Component cable (with blue, red and green leads). Connect the leads between the Y, Pb and Pr sockets on the SRT 5020 (top row of socket group 6, taking care to match the colour of a lead with the colour of the socket), and the corresponding Component sockets on your TV. (The Component sockets on the TV have the same colour-coding.)

You will need to make separate connections for left and right audio via the audio sockets on the bottom row of socket group 6. This can be done using the supplied RCA cable.

For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red audio socket on the SRT 5020 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket on the SRT 5020 and the corresponding socket on your TV. These RCA audio connections will provide MPEG-2 stereo.

NOTE: Dolby digital bitstream audio S/PDIF can be achieved using a coaxial cable. (This cable is not supplied.) The cable should be connected between socket 5 on the SRT 5020 and the S/PDIF socket on your Dolby Digital decoder amplifier. See “Audio settings” on page 19 for instructions on how to receive Dolby Digital audio.

B. Separate S-Video (Y/C) connector

If your TV has a 4 Pin Mini Din S-Video socket, you can connect an S-Video cable between socket 4 on the SRT 5020 and the corresponding S-Video socket on your TV. (An S-Video cable is not supplied.)

You will need to make separate connections for left and right audio via the audio sockets on the bottom row of socket group 6. This can be done using the supplied RCA cable.

For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red audio socket on the SRT 5020 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket on the SRT 5020 and the corresponding socket on your TV. These RCA audio connections will provide MPEG-2 stereo.

C: CVBS (Composite) using the supplied RCA red–white–yellow lead

Using the appropriate socket colour-coding on socket group 6, you can connect to your TV with the supplied RCA cable. This gives you CVBS (Composite Video) and MPEG-2 stereo audio.

For video, connect the yellow RCA lead between the yellow video socket in socket group 6 on the SRT 5020 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red audio socket on the SRT 5020 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket on the SRT 5020 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

D: Connection by RF Modulator (where no AV inputs are available on your TV)

If your TV does not have any audio-visual (AV) Inputs for connection, you can receive digital broadcasts by using the in-built RF modulator of the SRT 5020.

1. Connect an RF cable from your antenna wall plate to the TV ANT IN socket on the rear of the SRT 5002 (socket 1).

2. Connect another RF cable (not supplied) between the LOOP OUT socket on the SRT 5020 (socket 2) and the LOOP IN socket on the SRT 5020 (socket 8).

3. Connect another RF cable (not supplied) between the RF OUT socket on the SRT 5020 (socket 7) and the ANT In socket on your TV.

4. Turn on the SRT 5020 with the power switch on the back panel. The red stand-by light appears on the display along with 4 horizontal lines.

5. Press the Power button on the SRT 5020 remote control.

6. Turn on your TV and conduct an auto scan to find the RF channel. (The RF channel is 38 by default, but you may need to refer to the instruction manual that came with your TV).

Once the RF channel has been found, a Strong Technologies Welcome screen appears listing various set-up options. These options are explained in “Getting Started” on page13.

How to select a different RF channel

If the RF channel is not channel 38:

1. Press the MENU key on the remote control followed by the blue button (labelled TXT).

2. Press OK on the remote control. You will see a menu with a number of options.

3. Press CH ▼ on the remote control until the Settings option is highlighted, and then press OK.

4. Press CH ▼ on the remote control until the RF Modulator option is highlighted, and then press OK.

5. Use the number keys on the remote control to enter the correct RF channel (as described in your TV manual), and then press OK.

E. Connecting the antenna

Connect the antenna lead coming from your antenna wall plate to the ANT IN socket on the SRT 5020 (socket 1).

Looping Out

If you connect a recording device (such as a VCR) either between the SRT 5020 and the TV (or from the TV), you will not be able to watch one channel while manually recording another. To overcome this, you can connect an RF cable (not supplied) between the LOOP OUT socket on the SRT 5020 (socket 2) and the ANT IN connector on your TV (or VCR).
