Dear customer,  
This User's Guide is designed to help you to use the extensive functions of your  
new satellite receiver most effectively.  
We have made every effort to make the instructions as clear and understandable  
as possible and to keep them as short as necessary. We have added a small  
glossary of terms at the end of the User's Guide to facilitate understanding of  
certain technical expressions that do not lend themselves to translation. And to  
make sure you find what you are looking for, we have also included an index at the  
back.  
We wish you the very best reception and great pleasure with your new  
DVB satellite receiver.  
Your  
KATHREIN Team  
Should you, contrary to all expectations, experience problems with your receiver,  
please contact your dealer or our Hotline.

Important information  
The channel allocations of the satellites and transponders are subject to frequent  
change. Consequently, in such cases, it may be necessary to readjust the channel  
settings even though the channels are preset at the factory corresponding to the  
latest channel allocations. You can obtain the information necessary for resetting  
the channels from SAT 1 video text, the Internet or corresponding TV and satellite  
magazines.

Safety Information  
Important information on setting-up location and assembly  
Setting-up location  
All electronic devices generate heat. The rise in temperature, however, is within a  
safe range. Sensitive surfaces of furniture and veneers can over time discolour  
slightly due to the constant effects of heat. The feet of the receiver may also  
discolour when in contact with treated surfaces. If necessary, place the receiver on  
a suitable base.  
Ventilation  
The heat generated in this receiver is adequately dissipated. Nevertheless, never  
install the receiver in a cabinet or on a shelf with insufficient ventilation. Never  
cover or close off the cooling slots on the device.  
Never place objects on the receiver and maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm  
above the device to ensure the heat is carried off effectively.  
Moisture, sunlight, heat  
Protect the receiver from moisture, dripping and splash water.  
Do not place the receiver near a source of heating and never expose it to direct  
sunlight  
Mains voltage  
Earthing  
Operate the receiver only with a mains voltage of 230 V/50 Hz or connected to a  
battery 12 V/24 V DC vehicle electrical system.  
First connect the antenna and the television set before connecting the receiver to  
the mains power supply and switching on.  
The parabolic antenna must be earthed according to instructions. Corresponding  
local and/or VDE regulations must be observed.

Connection and Startup  
Anschluss und Inbetriebnahme  
The following section is specifically intended for the specialist dealer. You only  
need to read this section if you are carrying out the installation yourself.  
You will find sample configurations in the section "Connection examples".  
First carry out all installation work before connecting the receiver to the mains  
power supply.  
Refer to the information provided in the section on "Safety".  
To connect the receiver  
Sat-IF connection  
Connect the Sat-IF input of the receiver to the satellite receiving system (satellite  
dish).  
Use a coaxial cable with a standard F connector for this purpose.  
If you need to fit the F-connector onto the cable,  
·
strip the cable insulation as shown in the diagram (you will need to fold back  
the braid) and  
·
slide the F-connector onto the cable, then turn it clockwise until it locks.  
When fitting the connector make sure that no wires of the shield braid make  
contact with the inner conductor. This could otherwise cause a short-circuit.  
The quality of the reception signal depends on a good connection!  
Analogue and digital TV  
To ensure you can receive digital and analogue channels, connect the IF OUTPUT  
socket with the IF INPUT ANALOG socket at the rear of the receiver. Use the coax  
jumper provided as an accessory for this purpose.  
Make sure that your satellite antenna system transmits both the low band as well  
as the high band for analogue and digital reception. For digital reception, your  
single satellite antenna (dish) must be equipped with at least one universal LNB.  
Presetting of the receiving system  
The control signals for conventional receiving systems (satellite dishes) are preset,  
i.e. 14/18 V for polarization changeover and 22 kHz switching signal for LOW/HIGH  
band changeover on multifeed reception systems.  
The presetting will need to be changed in the installation menu, menu point  
"DiSEqC" if UFO or tone burst switching matrices are used in the receiving system.  
Refer to the section "Installation menu, DiSEqC menu“ for this purpose.  
It is important that you observe the application information provided for the matrix  
used.

Connection and Startup  
LNB supply voltage  
If the feed system (LNB) is powered by an external supply voltage and the LNB  
supply voltage is not used for switching over polarity (e.g. Kathrein feed system  
UAS 330), the LNB supply of the receiver must be set to "OFF" (see section  
"Installation menu, LNB configuration").  
Modulator connection  
If your TV set is not equipped with a SCART socket, you can connect the receiver  
by means of a coaxial cable. (See "Technical reference" at the end of this User's  
Guide.)  
For this purpose, connect the modulator output of the receiver to the antenna input  
of the TV set.  
The TV set must be preset to UHF channel 38. The modulator of your receiver  
"transmits" on this channel (factory setting).  
Note  
Stereo reproduction is not possible in this configuration! And a decoder for pay-TV  
cannot be connected!  
To use the receiver together with a video recorder, loop through the receiver signal  
via the video recorder (antenna input and output). The output channel of the video  
recorder must be selected such that the receiver signal is not adversely affected  
and vice versa. Refer to the corresponding information provided in the User's  
Guide of your video recorder. Also refer to the connection examples at the end of  
this User's Guide!  
TV and video recorder connection  
·
Use a SCART cable to connect the satellite receiver (TV SCART) and TV set.  
If your TV set is equipped for stereo output, you can receive the sound in stereo via  
the SCART connection.  
·
Also use a SCART cable to connect the satellite receiver (VCR/AUX SCART)  
and the video recorder.  
Audio connection  
If you wish to reproduce the sound via a HiFi system, connect a corresponding  
Cinch cable from the audio Cinch sockets on the receiver to the input sockets on  
your HiFi system.  
If your HiFi system features a digital input or you have a digital Dolby system, you  
can connect it to the digital output.  
Inserting batteries in the remote control  
Remove the cover on the battery compartment on the underside of the remote  
control.  
·
Insert the two supplied batteries in the remote control. Ensure correct polarity  
of the batteries, the + and – markings are indicated inside the battery  
compartment.  
·
Slide the cover back into the casing and lock in position.  
Used batteries are special waste! Therefore do not throw batteries into the  
household waste but rather deposit them at a collection depot for old batteries!

Switching on for the First Time  
Erste Inbetriebnahme  
The first steps  
Connect the receiver to the mains power supply or vehicle electrical system. Use  
the supplied connection cable for this purpose. Never connect both cables at the  
same time!  
Switch on the receiver by pressing the power button at the front of the unit.  
You will see "- - - -“ in the LED display.  
The operation indicator LED lights red, the receiver is now in standby mode.  
Switch on your TV set.  
Select an AV channel number on the TV set or select channel 38 if the modulator  
output is connected.  
Switch on the receiver by pressing the ebutton on the remote control.  
The orange LED at the front end of the receiver flashes every time a button on the  
remote control is pressed.  
You will see the first factory preset channel on your TV screen. An information bar  
indicating the channel provider, the time, the timer settings, the channel status and  
the channel title will be displayed in the bottom section of the screen provided the  
corresponding data are transmitted. The number of the channel memory appears in  
the LED display.  
The red standby indicator goes out.  
You can now receive the TV and radio channels preset at the factory and select  
them by pressing the oubuttons. Press the Rand oubuttons to  
select radio channels. Press the Ror Tbutton to return to TV channels.  
Refer to the section "Channel lists – TV/radio" for information on how to set up and  
save other TV and radio channels.  
The reception status last set always reappears when the receiver is switched on.  
If the message "bad or no signal" appears on the screen in addition to an on-  
screen display indicating the channel last received, you will need to check the  
system installation and/or the receiver settings. If this problem only applies to  
individual channel slots, the problem may be due to an interruption in the  
transmission signal or a fault in the receiving system (cable or satellite system).  
In this case, first check the connection configuration and then check whether the  
basic settings of your receiver are correct for your system. In the case of doubt,  
have a specialist do this for you.  
Factory setting of the receiver  
Your receiver is preprogrammed to receive the ASTRA and HotBird satellites. You  
will normally need to make no further settings. To receive both satellite systems or  
other satellites you will require a multifeed arrangement with at least two LNBs in  
front of the satellite dish if you are not connected to a communal or party system.  
Please ask your dealer.  
Before you change the basic settings of your receiver, note down the settings in  
the form provided at the end of this User's Guide. In this way, you will be able to  
restore the original settings at any time.

New settings are only required when changes or expansions are made to the  
reception system.  
The main menu consists of the following submenus:  
Select the "Installation" menu with the  
menu button M, the oubuttons  
in the main menu and O. If set, you  
must also enter the password. Select the  
menu points with the oubuttons .  
LNB configuration  
The first submenu is the "LNB configuration". Press Oto open this menu.  
Normally, you should not make any  
changes in this submenu. Before making  
any changes, however, you should make  
a note of the settings in the form provided  
at the end of this User's Guide.  
Your receiver is set at the factory to the  
satellites of the ASTRA and HotBird  
systems.  
The other basic settings are shown in the  
illustration opposite.  
Oscillator frequency L.O.  
Satellite receiver systems consist of the parabolic antenna (satellite dish) with the  
actual receiving system mounted in front of it (LNB – Low Noise Block Converter or  
LNC - Low Noise Converter) which converts the HF signals of the satellite to a  
lower frequency so it can be processed by a satellite receiver.  
The satellite transmission frequencies are within the following ranges:  
10.7…11.7 GHz  
11.7…12.75 GHz  
Low-band analogue transmission  
High-band digital transmission  
(valid for ASTRA satellites at 19.2° E)  
The reception frequency of the receiver, however, is in the range from 950 to  
2150 MHz. The high frequencies are therefore stepped down with the aid of the  
oscillator frequency (LO frequency / LO = Local Oscillator of the LNB) to a lower  
frequency. Various oscillator frequencies are used for this purpose depending on  
the satellite frequency range and the type of system.  
For ASTRA and Eutelsat receiver systems, this frequency is normally 9.75 GHz  
(9750 MHz) for the lower frequency range (low-band) and 10.6 GHz (10600 MHz)  
for the upper frequency (high-band). Older receiver systems still operate in the low-  
band range with a 10 GHz oscillator frequency.  
The receiver generates its required frequency by subtracting the oscillator  
frequency from the satellite transmission frequency stored for each channel. You  
only need to set the oscillator frequencies that your receiver system actually uses.

Installation Menu  
Therefore, before changing the LO frequency make sure that this is at all necessary.  
The oscillator frequencies shown at the top of the picture are the as-delivered  
settings.  
Changing the oscillator frequency  
Move over to the right-hand side in the LNB configuration menu by pressing O,  
the setting for LO High will be highlighted in colour. Using the number buttons, you  
can now enter a frequency matching your system. The same also applies for the  
LO Low setting. Press the oubuttons to go to this setting.  
Press L4x to exit the menu. At the same time, the receiver will confirm that the  
values have been saved.  
If a setting is incorrect, you will see the following message on the screen:  
Bad or no signal  
Operation  
Standby  
Factory setting "ON".  
Normally, the supply voltage should always be switched on.  
For communal or party systems, you must check whether the supply voltage must  
be switched off!  
Under this menu point the supply voltage for the LNB in receiver standby mode can  
be switched on and off. It can be switched off for individual and communal  
systems.  
The factory setting is "OFF".  
Receiving two satellites  
If your receiver is connected to a multifeed antenna that is also aligned with the  
HotBird satellites for instance, you will need to change the receiver settings for the  
DiSEqC signal. The same, of course, also applies to other satellites. (DiSEqC =  
Digital Satellite Equipment Control).  
Different control signals are required for the purpose of selecting the satellite  
signals. To date, the LNB supply voltages 14/18 V and the 22 kHz signal  
(superimposed on the LNB supply voltage) have been sufficient for signal selection  
in the majority of applications. With these four switching signals it is possible to  
switch between horizontally and vertically polarized signals as well as between  
satellites (multifeed reception).  
However, additional control signals are now required for LNB activation and signal  
selection in view of the expansion of the frequency range to 12 GHz (high-band  
range) and for receiving more than two satellites.  
The "DiSEqC" control signal is responsible for this task. This signal represents a  
special modulation of the already existing 22 kHz signal.

When you are in the LNB configuration menu (see above), press the ou  
buttons to move the coloured bar to the "HotBird" position, press the -or +button  
and by pressing Oconfirm that you wish to add a satellite. The transponder data  
are now stored and a tick appears after "HotBird" to confirm the setting. You can  
now set the DiSEqC signal. It serves the purpose of switching between the two  
aligned satellites. Press the oubuttons to go to the DiSEqC-1 setting.  
Set #1 for ASTRA and #2 for HotBird. Both positions are already preprogrammed.  
Cascade switches can be set under DiSEqC 2. Refer to the instructions for your  
receiving system. Factory setting: "---".  
Press L4 times to exit the menu. At the same time, the receiver will confirm that  
the set parameters have been saved.  
If a setting is incorrect, you will see the following message on the screen: "Bad or  
no signal".  
Antenna settings  
This menu is intended solely for service  
purposes and, if need be, i.e. if no  
measuring instrument is available, it can  
be used to align the antenna (satellite  
dish).  
The satellite can be defined in the first line  
and the transponder in the second.  
The polarization of the received signal and  
the transmitted symbol rate are shown in  
the next line.  
The bar displays provide an indication of the strength (relative level) of the signal  
and its quality. However, no conclusions relating to the quality of the antenna  
system or of the cable connection can be derived from this signal.

2 satellite positions.  
Tone-burst and DiSEqC-signal  
A DiSEqC control signal is necessary if more than four control criteria are required  
in a receiving system.  
Which of the setting options, i.e. tone burst or DiSEqC is required depends on the  
components of the receiving system.  
Therefore refer to the description of the components (switchover matrices) of the  
receiving system.

DiSEqC  
If the receiver is connected to a DiSEqC switchover matrix, you will need to set this  
menu point to ON.  
The switching criteria and the input assignments of the DiSEqC switching matrix  
must be maintained. Therefore, refer to the description of the switching matrices or  
contact the installer of the receiving system.  
DiSEqC repeat  
The DiSEqC command must be repeated if the receiver is operated (cascaded)  
together with a receiving system with two or more series connected DiSEqC  
switching matrices.  
In this case, switch the menu point "DiSEqC repeat" to 1 or 2.  
Factory presetting: OFF  
UFO mini  
The input frequency of the receiver is fixed in a "user-controlled processing  
system". The signals from the "user-controlled processing system" are transmitted  
on this frequency. The reception parameters for channel selection are transferred  
to the receiving system by means of a DiSEqC command and set accordingly.  
The relevant setting that needs to be selected depends on the type of "user-  
controlled processing system".  
The setting should be made according to the data provided in the installation  
instructions for the "user-controlled processing system".  
Remote frequency  
If you have set the UFO mini menu point to "ON" or "OFF", you will need to set the  
transmission frequency under this menu point.  
Refer to the installation instructions of the "user-controlled processing system" for  
the set transmission frequency.  
It is therefore important that you refer to the information provided in the installation  
instructions of the "user-controlled processing system".  
UFO micro  
The setting under this menu point is also designed for operation of the receiver  
together with a processing system.  
Control and communication between the receiver and the Kathrein UFO micro  
system takes place on the return of the coaxial cable.  
ON must be set under the UFO micro menu point if the receiver is operated  
together with a UFO micro receiving system.  
During installation, the receiving system then assigns a special address to the  
receiver so that the control instructions that are sent from the receiver to the  
receiving system for signal selection are also recognized by this system.  
A remote frequency need not be set in this operating mode as it is defined by the

Data Transfer from Receiver to Receiver  
Datenübertragung von Receiver zu Rece iver  
Your receiver is able to accept data from another receiver via the RS232C socket.  
For this purpose, the two receivers are mutually connected via a zero modem  
cable. The transmitting receiver is the master, the receiving receiver the slave.  
Preparation  
The master and slave are first switched to standby mode and then disconnected  
from the mains by pressing the power switch.  
The data sockets (Item 8, rear of receiver, Page 9) of both receivers are connected  
with the zero modem cable.  
The master is then switched on again.  
Transferring channel list  
Simultaneously press the ç button (arrow left) and SELECT under the front panel  
of the master to transfer the channel list.  
The slave can now be switched on. The transfer procedure begins.  
While loading, the display of the master shows "t001 t002 .. t00n“ while the slave  
correspondingly shows "r001 r002..r00n“.  
The LED display shows "----" during block transfer.  
The loading procedure was successful if both receivers show the message "Succ.".  
Transferring operating software  
Follow the same procedure as described above for the purpose of transferring  
operating software.  
Start transfer of the operating software by simultaneously pressing the è button  
(arrow right) and SELECT under the front panel of the master.  
While loading, the display of the master shows "t001 t002 .. t00n“ while the slave  
correspondingly shows "r001 r002..r00n“.  
The LED display shows "----" during block transfer.  
The loading procedure was successful if both receivers show the message "Succ.".  
Should transfer problems occur, "F * * *" will appear in the master display where *  
stands for a numerical value. In this case, check the cable connection and start a  
new transfer attempt.  
The data transfer from receiver to receiver as described above must only be  
carried out with devices of the same type as otherwise malfunctions or total loss of  
the operating software may occur.  
On no account must the receivers be switched off or the connection interrupted  
during data transfer. This may otherwise result in data loss, malfunctions or total  
failure of the operating system.  
In all cases wait until the "Succ." or "F * * *“ message appears on the display.

Connection of the DVB-S receiver to a TV set, a VCR and a HiFi system for  
receiving and recording digital satellite TV and radio channels.  
The connection requires two SCART cables and one Cinch cable. If your TV is  
equipped for stereo, the stereo sound can also be reproduced via the stereo  
speakers of your TV set.  
Video playback takes place via the modulator of the VCR and the antenna input of  
the TV set.

Glossary of Technical Terms  
DiSEqC  
DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a communication system between  
the Sat receiver (master) and the peripheral Sat components (slaves), such as  
LNBs, multi-switch, motorized antenna systems.  
This is a single master/multi-slave system, i.e. there is always only one master in  
the Sat system. All activities emanate from the master.  
DiSEqC components  
When DiSEqC switchover matrices are cascaded, the master receiver must send  
out the DiSEqC signal several times so that all DiSEqC multi-switches in the  
cascade receive their commands.  
Nowadays, DiSEqC components (slaves) must be retrocompatible, i.e. they must  
also respond to the analogue switching criteria of receivers which are only  
equipped with the control signals H/V and 22 kHz.  
A DiSEqC switchover matrix operates with analogue switching criteria until the  
DiSEqC command is received from the master. All analogue switching criteria are  
then ignored.  
DVB MPEG-2  
DVB is the abbreviation for digital video broadcasting. DVB-S refers to the type of  
transmission (S=satellite). MPEG is the abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts  
Group, a working group which draws up internationally valid standards for the  
digital compression of video together with audio. MPEG-2 has been promoted to  
the standard for the compression of digital TV signals. MPEG-2 operates at a data  
rate of up to 100 MBit/s.  
Eb/No ratio  
The Eb/No ratio is a measure for the signal-to-noise ratio of the digital signal. This  
value is not identical to the C/N value as known from analogue reception  
technology. As a rule, reception is no longer possible at Eb/No levels below 5 dB.  
FEC  
PID  
FEC is the abbreviation for Forward Error Correction. The FEC error rate  
corresponds to the viterbirate.  
The PID number (Package IDentification) is an identification number for video  
signals and audio signals in the digital data stream of DVB MPEG-2 signals. The  
receiver uses the PID number to establish distinct allocation of the video and audio  
data transmission. PID-PCR is the identification number for the synchronisation  
signal. PID-PCR is normally identical to PID video. In the case of multi-language  
channel transmissions, by means of manual entry of the audio PID, it is possible to  
allocate another language to the TV broadcast. After entering the PID, the digital  
receiver automatically selects audio data from the data stream identified by the PID  
number and allocates these data to the video signal.  
Channel package  
The channel package of a digital transponder mostly contains several TV and radio  
channels. Each channel package has a fixed allocation with regard to the  
transponder transmit frequency, the polarization (horizontal or vertical), the symbol  
rate and the viterbirate or error rate.

Glossary of Technical Terms  
Symbol rate  
The symbol rate describes the amount of data transmitted per second. The symbol  
rate is measured in MSymbols/s and is equal to the number of symbols that are  
received per second.  
Transponder  
A transponder is a satellite transmitter which transmits TV and radio signals. A  
satellite has several transponders.  
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV channel and possibly several radio  
channels on their transmit frequencies.  
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and several radio  
channels on their transmit frequencies. When a channel provider broadcasts  
several TV channels via a digital transponder this is referred to as the channel  
package of the channel provider. The terms "digital transponder" and "channel  
package" therefore have the same meaning.  
Video bit rate  
Viterbirate  
The video bit rate describes the quantity of data of the digitised video signal that is  
transmitted per second.  
The viterbirate (code rate, error rate) characterizes the type of error protection used  
by the channel provider. The DVB standard stipulates the following values: 1/2 -  
2/3 - 3/4 - 4/5 - 5/6 6/7 - 7/8.
