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.
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.
10
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.
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.
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).
12
Getting Started
Once you have connected the SRT 5020 to your antenna and to your television with your preferred
video and audio connections, you need to:
