How to Connect
There are a number of alternative methods for connecting the SRT 5022, 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.)
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 5022
(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 sockets in socket group
8 on the SRT 5022. This can be done using the supplied RCA cable.
For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red socket in socket group 8 and the
corresponding socket on your TV.
For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket in socket group 8 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
5022 and the S/PDIF socket on your Dolby Digital decoder amplifier. See “Audio
settings” on page 18 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 5022 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 sockets in socket group
9 on the SRT 5022. This can be done using the supplied RCA cable.
For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red socket in socket group 9 and the
corresponding socket on your TV.
For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket in socket group 9 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
5022 and the S/PDIF socket on your Dolby Digital decoder amplifier. See “Audio
settings” on page 18 for instructions on how to receive Dolby Digital audio.

11
C: CVBS (Composite) using the supplied RCA red–white–yellow lead
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 on the SRT 5022 (socket
7) and the corresponding socket on your TV.
For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red socket in socket group 9 on the SRT
5022 and the corresponding socket on your TV.
For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket in socket group 9 on the SRT
5022 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
5022 and the S/PDIF socket on your Dolby Digital decoder amplifier. See “Audio
settings” on page 18 for instructions on how to receive Dolby Digital audio.
D. Connecting the antenna
Connect the antenna lead coming from your antenna wall plate to the ANT IN socket on the SRT
5022 (socket 1).
Looping Out
If you connect a recording device (such as a VCR) either between the SRT 5022 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 5022
(socket 2) and the ANT IN connector on your TV (or VCR).

12
Getting Started
Once you have connected the SRT 5022 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 9).
2. Turn on the television.
3. Plug the SRT 5022 into mains power and turn on the power at the mains switch.
4. Turn on the SRT 5022 using the power-on switch on the back of the receiver (number 9 in the
diagram on page 7).
5. Select the video or AV input channel to which the SRT 5022 is connected: this can be done by
pressing the TV/AV or VIDEO button on your TV remote control. (Refer to your TV user’s manual
for instructions.)
The Strong Technologies banner page briefly appears, followed by the Main Menu screen
showing a list of options (see below). One of these options—Scan—is selected by default.
