How to Connect

There are a number of alternative methods for connecting the SRT 5392, depending on your preference and the connection types on your TV. These methods are labelled A, B and C below. (Connection D, connecting to an antenna, is mandatory for all connection methods.)

TIP: The various video connection options available provide differing degrees of video quality. In ascending order of quality, these connections are Composite (good), S-Video (better) and

Component (best).

IMPORTANT: Refer to the diagram on page 9 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 5392 (socket group 8, 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 in socket group 7. 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 5392 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket on the SRT 5392 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 or an optical cable. (These cables are not supplied.) These cables should be connected between socket 6 (coaxial cable) or socket 11 (optical cable) on the SRT 5392 and the corresponding S/PDIF socket on your Dolby Digital decoder amplifier. See “Output setting” on page 19 for instructions on how to receive Dolby Digital audio.

Page 13

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 12 on the SRT 5392 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 in socket set 10 on the rear of the SRT 5302. 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 5392 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket on the SRT 5392 and the corresponding socket on your TV. These RCA audio connections will provide MPEG-2 stereo.

Page 14

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

Using the appropriate socket colour-coding in socket groups 9 and 10, 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 socket 9 on the SRT 5392 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red audio socket in socket group 10 on the SRT 5392 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket in socket group 10 on the SRT 5392 and the corresponding socket on your TV.

D. Connecting the antenna

1. Connect the antenna lead coming from your antenna wall plate to the TV ANT IN socket on the SRT 5392 (socket 1).

2. Connect the loop through cable between the LOOP OUT socket on the SRT 5392 (socket 2) and the LOOP IN socket on the SRT 5392 (socket 3).

Looping Out via RF OUT socket

The RF OUT socket enables the antenna signal to be distributed to another device. You can connect a cable between the RF OUT socket and

• the antenna IN socket of another TV or set-top box, or

• to a recording device (e.g. VCR/DVD) to record directly to that device.

Page 15

Connecting to a computer using the supplied USB cable

USB connection is provided so that you can transfer MP3 files from a Windows computer to the SRT

5392.

1. Connect the USB cable between socket 13 on the SRT 5392 and the corresponding socket on your computer.

2. A message appears asking you if you want to connect. Press OK on the remote control.

3. Open Windows Explorer, locate the item that represents the SRT 5392—it might, for instance, be called “Local Disk (E:)”—and double-click it. A folder called PVR appears.

4. Open the PVR folder and then the MP3 sub-folder. This is the folder where you place the MP3 files you want to be able to play on the SRT 5392.

Page 16

5. Copy your MP3 files to the MP3 folder (using standard copy-and-paste Windows functionality).

6. When you have finished copying files, disconnect the USB cable. When the “Updating TOC” message disappears from the screen, you can play the music files you have copied. See “MP3 playback” on page 46.

Getting Started

First time set-up

Once you have connected the SRT 5392 to your antenna and to your television with your preferred video and audio connections, you need to:

1. Install the batteries in the remote control (see page 11).

2. Turn on the television.

3. Plug the SRT 5392 into mains power and turn on the power at the mains switch.

4. Turn on the SRT 5392 using the power-on switch on the back of the receiver (number 9 in the diagram on page 9).

• SPDIF Output ((Enable, Disable). Enable this

option if you are routing audio through a Dolby Digital decoder amplifier.

• TV type (AUTO, PAL, NTSC). Select AUTO and the SRT 5392 will determine the correct setting for you.

• Channel Change Option (Freeze, Blank, Fade In/Out). This option determines how the screen transitions from one channel to the next.

Once detected, the stations can be easily selected from the remote control (or by pressing the channel keys on the front panel of the SRT 5392; see the diagram on page 8). The Automatic Search option is the default option when you first set up the SRT 5392.

1. With the Automatic Search screen displayed and the OK button highlighted, press OK on the remote control.

The SRT 5392 scans for channels and stations. As it finds them, it displays them (grouped by broadcaster).

This is the recommended option when you are first setting up the SRT 5392. It will automatically search for all digital TV and radio stations that can be detected and stores their details.
