Preface  
Preface  
Dear Customer,  
The following operating manual will help you obtain the best optimal  
use from the extensive features of your new satellite receiver.  
We have written this operating manual as comprehensibly as possible  
and as concise as necessary. A brief lexicon containing specialised  
terms not easily translatable has been appended at the end of this  
manual. To further assist you in your search for a specific term, we  
have also added an index.  
We have taken the environment into account with the mains switch.  
Therefore, during longer pauses separate your receiver from the  
mains, in order to save energy. During short pauses, you should  
switch the receiver to standby with the remote control, so the least  
amount of energy is consumed.  
We wish you a great reception and much enjoyment with your new  
satellite receiver.  
Your,  
KATHREIN-Team  
If you have any unexpected problems with your receiver, please con-  
tact your specialist supplier.  
With regard to the programme allocation of the satellites and trans-  
ponders, changes always occur. In such cases, it is necessary to  
carry out new programme settings, although factory pre-programming  
is always in accordance with the respective, newest developments.  
You can gather the details for the new setting from teletext on SAT 1,  
the internet, or respective magazines.  
Your receiver has been equipped with the newest respective software  
at the factory. We are always trying to adjust the software to the de-  
sires of our customers and the state-of-the-art technology. Refer to  
section "Software and channel lists update" for more information.

Enter in "901" with the number buttons.  
To adopt the code, press the button to switch receiver 1 to  
standby and then switch off the device with the mains switch.  
Put receiver 2 into operation again.  
Press and hold the button.  
Enter in "902" with the number buttons.  
To adopt the code, press the button to switch receiver 2 to  
standby and then back into operation. Now switch on receiver 1 again.  
Press and hold the button.  
Enter in "903" with the number buttons.  
When carrying out the first two settings, the remote control must be di-  
rected at the respective receiver (when switched on).  
By pressing the button, you can now switch between the two  
command sets A and B (toggle function) and alternately operate both  
receivers.

Connection and Start-up  
Connection and Start-up  
The following section is specifically intended for the specialist dealer.  
You only need to read this section, if you are carrying out the installa-  
tion yourself.  
You will find sample configurations in the section "Connection exam-  
ple".  
First, carry out all installation work before connecting the receiver to  
the mains power supply.  
Refer to the information provided in the section "Safety instructions“.  
Connecting receiver  
Sat-IF connection  
Connect the Sat-IF input of the receiver to the satellite receiving sys-  
tem (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 insula-  
tion as shown in the diagram and slide the F-connector onto the ca-  
ble, then carefully 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!  
Preconditions for receiving signals  
Make sure that your satellite antenna system is equipped with at least  
one universal LNB to facilitate digital reception in the high band range.  
Presetting of receiving system  
The control signals for conventional receiving systems (satellite  
dishes) are preset, i.e. 14/18 V for polarisation changeover and 22  
kHz switching signal for LOW/HIGH band changeover on multifeed re-  
ception systems.  
The presetting will need to be changed in the installation menu, menu  
item "DiSEqC," if UFOmicro or tone burst switching matrices are used  
in the receiving system.  
Refer to the section "Installation menu, DiSEqC menu“ for this pur-  
pose.  
It is important, that you observe the operating manual for the used ma-  
trix.

Connection and Start-up  
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 polarity, the LNB  
supply of the receiver must be set to "OFF" (see section "Installation  
menu, LNB configuration").  
TV and video recorder connection  
Use a SCART cable to connect the satellite receiver (TV SCART  
socket) and TV set.  
If your TV set is equipped for stereo output, you can receive the sound  
in stereo via the SCART connection.  
Audio connection  
Dolby connection  
If you wish to reproduce the sound via a hi-fi system, connect a corre-  
sponding Cinch cable from the audio Cinch sockets on the receiver to  
the input sockets on your hi-fi system.  
The Dolby digital data stream output (AC3) is for the connection to a  
Dolby digital system.  
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 it into 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!  
Electronic equipment is not household waste - in accordance with di-  
rective 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE  
COUNCIL of 27th January 2003 on used electrical and electronic  
equipment, it must be disposed of properly.  
At the end of its service life, take this unit for disposal at a relevant of-  
ficial collection point.

Connect the receiver to the mains power supply.  
Switch on the receiver by pressing the power button on the front of the  
unit.  
The display, "- - - -,“ appears in the LED display.  
When the LED for the operating display is red, the television is in  
standby.  
Switch on the receiver by pressing the button on the remote  
control.  
The orange LED on the front panel of the receiver flashes each  
time a button on the remote control is pressed.  
You will see the factory set programme on your TV screen. An infor-  
mation bar indicating the programme provider, the time, the timer set-  
tings, the programme status and the programme title will be displayed  
in the bottom section of the screen, provided the corresponding data  
is transmitted. The number of the programme memory appears in the  
LED display.  
The red standby indicator goes out.  
You can now receive the factory set TV and radio programmes and  
call them up by pressing the buttons. Press the

Refer to the section " Channel list –Radio/TV" for information on how  
to set up and save other TV and radio programmes.  
When the receiver is switched on, t he reception status, which  
was last set, always reappears.  
Please check the time of day for summer or winter.  
If the message "bad or no signal" appears on the screen in addition to  
an on-screen display indicating the programme last received, you will  
need to check the system installation and/or the receiver settings. If  
this problem only applies to individual programme 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 you receiver are correct for your system.  
If necessary, have a specialist do this for you.  
Factory setting of receiver  
Your receiver is pre-programmed to receive the ASTRA and HotBird  
satellites as well as Eutelsat 10E and 16E, TurkSat 42E, Telecom 5W  
and 8W. You will normally not need to make further settings. If you are  
not connected to a communal or party system, you need a multifeed  
arrangement with at least two LNBs in front of the satellite dish, in or-  
der to receive several satellite systems. 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 operating manual. You  
will then be able to restore the original settings at any time.

Note for the Conax-, SECA-, Viaccess and CryptoWorks user:  
Please observe, that the programme providers carry out the clearing  
of pay-TV cards by different monthly release intervals. Therefore, the  
clearing can occur a few days before or after the start of the month.  
During this clearing time, the CA module with the card must be lo-  
cated in the slot of the receiver and the receiver must be switched on  
as well as set to the booked pay-TV channel. Also observe the in-  
structions of the Pay-TV provider.  
The card can be reinitialised with monthly subscription extensions via  
the CAM menu "CAM reinitialising."  
If the clearing of your Pay-TV card does not occur, we recommend to  
remove the CA module with card from the slot of the switched on re-  
ceiver and reinsert it.  
This note does not relate to the unit's properties, but rather should  
serve as an aid.

Setting System Parameters  
Local time/Timer  
The receiver displays the UTC time transmitted with the data stream  
(United Time Coordinate, former Greenwich Mean Time). Therefore,  
in Germany, the time must be corrected by +1 hour.  
If necessary, the summer time must be corrected, in order for the tim-  
ers to turn on and off at correct times.  
You can make this correction yourself using the numerical buttons.  
Move the cursor bar with the button to the entry ‘Local  
time/Timer.’ The first digit in the time entry is shadowed. You can now  
correct date and time with the numerical buttons. After each entry, the  
cursor jumps to the next position. Press the two times to end the  
entry. The receiver saves the new setting.  
Afterwards, do not switch off the receiver with the mains switch but  
rather with the remote control, otherwise the settings will be lost.

Installation menu  
You should not change the following settings without good reason as  
they represent factory settings or operational settings that are adapted  
to your receiving system.  
New settings are only required when changes or expansions are  
made to the receiving system.  
The main menu consists of the following submenus:  
Select the "Installation" menu with the menu button , the  
 buttons in the main menu and . You must enter a  
password, if one is saved. Select the menu points with the 

LNB configuration  
The first submenu is the "LNB configuration". Press to 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 operating manual.  
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.  
Oscillator frequency L.O.  
Satellite receiving 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 RF signals of the satellite to a lower frequency, so it can  
be processed by a satellite receiver.  
55  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Setting System Parameters  
The satellite transmission frequencies are within the following ranges:  
10.7…11.7 GHz Low-band ( Low-band / analogue transmission)  
11.7…12.75 GHz High-band (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 converted with  
the aid of the oscillator frequency (LO frequency / LO = Local Oscilla-  
tor 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 receiving 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 re-  
ceiving systems still operate in the low-band range with a 10 GHz os-  
cillator frequency (not suitable for digital reception).  
The receiver generates its required frequency by subtracting the oscil-  
lator frequency from the satellite transmission frequency stored for  
each channel. You only need to set the respective oscillator frequen-  
cies, which your receiving system uses. Therefore, before changing  
the LO frequency, make sure that this is at all necessary.  
The oscillator frequencies listed above are factory settings.  
Changing the oscillator frequency  
Move over to the right-hand side in the LNB configuration menu by  
pressing and the setting for L.O. High is highlighted in colour. Us-  
ing the number buttons, you can now enter a frequency matching your  
system. The same also applies for the L.O. Low setting. Here, press  
the  buttons to go to this setting.  
Exit the menu by pressing 4 times. The receiver will simultane-  
ously confirm that the values have been saved.  
If a setting is incorrect, the following message appears on the screen :  
Bad or no signal  
Operation  
Factory setting is "On."  
Normally, the power supply should be switched on.  
For communal or party systems, you must check whether the  
supply voltage must be switched off!  
Standby  
Under this menu point, the supply voltage for the LNB in the receiver’s  
standby mode can be switched on and off. It can be switched off for  
individual and communal systems. The factory setting is "Off."  
Reception of 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 Con-  
trol).  
56  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Setting System Parameters  
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 suf-  
ficient for signal selection in the majority of applications. With these  
four switching signals, it is possible to switch between horizontally and  
vertically polarised signals as well as between satellites (multifeed re-  
ception).  
However, additional control signals are now required for LNB activa-  
tion 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.  
DiSEqC setting  
The precondition for this setting is that you have made no  
changes in the DiSEqC (UFO) set-up, refer to the section "DiS-  
EqC UFO Set-up".  
When you are in the LNB configuration menu (see above), press the  
 buttons to move the coloured bar to the "HotBird" position,  
press the or button and press to confirm, that you wish to  
add a satellite. The transponder data is 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  buttons to go to the DiSEqC-1 setting.  
Set #1 for ASTRA and #2 for HotBird. Both positions are already pre-  
programmed. Both positions are already pre-programmed.  
Press the 4 times to exit the menu. At the same time, the re-  
ceiver will confirm that the set parameters are saved. If a setting is in-  
correct, the following message appears on the screen:  
Bad or no signal  
With cascaded switches, a total of 16 satellite positions can be stored  
under DiSEqC 2. With H/V as well as High/Low, a total of 256 settings  
can be made. You should have a specialist carry out these settings  
and set-up such a system.

DiSEqC  
If the receiver is connected to a DiSEqC switching 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 de-  
scription 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 DiSEqC  
switching matrices connected in a series.  
In this case, switch the menu point "DiSEqC repeat" to 1 or 2.  
Factory setting: ‘OFF’  
UFO mini  
The input frequency of the receiver is fixed in a "user-controlled proc-  
essing system". The signals from the "user-controlled processing sys-  
tem" are transmitted on this frequency. The reception parameters for  
programme selection are transferred to the receiving system by  
means of a DiSEqC command and set accordingly.  
The relevant setting, which 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 in-  
stallation instructions for the "user-controlled processing system".  
Remote frequency  
If you have set the UFO mini menu point to ‘ON,’ 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.  
Therefore, it is important to refer to the information provided in  
the installation instructions of the "user-controlled processing  
system".

Data Transfer from Receiver to Receiver  
Data Transfer from Receiver to Receiver  
Your receiver is able to receive the RS232C socket data from another  
receiver. Here, both receivers must be connected via a so-called  
'zero modem cable.' The transmitting receiver is in this case the mas-  
ter and the receiving receiver is 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 of both receivers are connected with the zero mo-  
dem cable.  
The master is then switched on again.  
Transferring channel lists  
Simultaneously press the 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 displays "----" during block transmission.  
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 the transfer of the operating software by simultaneously pressing  
the 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 displays "----" during block transmission.  
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 other-  
wise malfunctions or total loss of the operating software may oc-  
cur.  
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.  
Always wait until the "Succ." or "F * * *“ message appears on the dis-  
play.

Switch-over VHS/S-VHS  
The Scart sockets can be switched between VHS and S-VHS. The  
switch-over is carried out in the menu, "System parameter /A/V  
mode.”  
at VHS (RGB):  
at connection 15 lies the RED signal,  
at connection 19 lies the FBAS output.  
at connection 15 lies the C output,  
at S-VHS (C/Y):  
at connection 19 lies the Y-output.

Connection of a DVR-S receiver on a TV set and a Hi-fi system for re-  
ception of digital Sat TV and radio programmes.  
For connection, one Scart cable and a Cinch cable are required. If  
your TV set is equipped for stereo, stereo sound can also be repro-  
duced via the stereo loudspeakers of your TV set.  
The regional TV programmes can be received with the terrestrial an-  
tenna on the TV set.

DiSEqC  
DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a communication sys-  
tem between the Sat receiver (master) and the peripheral Sat compo-  
nents (slaves), such as LNBs, multi-switch, motorised antenna sys-  
tems.  
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 switching 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 retro-compatible,  
i.e. they must also respond to the analogue switching criteria of re-  
ceivers 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 inter-  
nationally valid standards for the digital compression of video together  
with audio. MPEG-2 has been promoted to the standard for the com-  
pression 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 ana-  
logue 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 dis-  
tinct 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 possi-  
ble 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.  
Programme package  
Symbol rate  
The programme package of a digital transponder mostly contains sev-  
eral TV and radio channels. Each channel package has a fixed alloca-  
tion with regard to the transponder transmit frequency, the polarisation  
(horizontal or vertical), the symbol rate and the viterbirate or error rate.  
The symbol rate describes the amount of data transmitted per second.

Short Technical Lexicon  
The symbol rate is measured in MSymbols/s and is equal to the num-  
ber 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 re-  
ferred 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) characterises 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.
