IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
The channels available on the satellites and transponders are subject to continual change. If changes do  
occur, the new channels have to be set in the receiver because the factory preset programming corresponds  
to the status on the date of manufacture. The information for these settings can be found on the Internet or  
in relevant magazines.  
Your receiver is factory tted with the latest software version. We are, however, constantly working on  
adapting the software in response to the wishes of our customers and to developments in technology.  
The “Service Menu” section provides more information on this.  
The information in this operating manual was correct at the time of going to press.  
We reserve the right however to make changes at any time and without prior notice.  
If new software is released for your receiver, and this affects the information in the operating manual  
(e.g. changes to the menus and/or functions), if we believe it necessary we will make available a new  
operating manual for download under “www.kathrein.de”.  
Please keep the original packaging in case you need to return the product at any time!  
If the product is not properly packed, the warranty claim is invalidated.  
Make a note of the receiver‘s basic settings, so as to be able to restore them if necessary!  
Make a note of the receiver's basic settings (these are set during the rst installation), so you can restore  
them if necessary!  
The term DiSEqC™ used in this operating manual is a registered trade mark of the European  
Telecommunication Satellite Organisation (EUTELSAT).  
SWITCHING OFF THE RECEIVER AND UPDATING THE EPG  
By pressing the  button you can switch the receiver out of TV mode and into standby mode. Pressing any  
of the numeric buttons returns it from standby mode into operating mode.  
Every night at 03:00 the receiver automatically starts to update the EPG data. This updates the EPG data  
for the rst 25 channels of the overall channel list. This update happens however only if the receiver is in  
standby mode. If the receiver is completely switched off (at the mains) or if it is in operation, the update will  
be delayed. The receiver will update the EPG data when it is next switched from operating mode into standby  
mode. After updating the data, the receiver automatically switches back to standby. You can however by  
pressing the  button break off the update before it is nished; the receiver then switches immediately into  
standby mode.

CONNECTION AND SET-UP  
The following section is intended specically for specialist dealers. You only need to pay attention to this  
section if you are carrying out the installation yourself.  
The “Connection Examples” section provides a sample conguration.  
Do not connect the unit to the power supply until all installation work has been properly carried out.  
Refer to the information in the “Safety Instructions” section.  
The receiver must be connected to no other power supply than 12 V DC. The  
receiver’s earth connection must be connected to the negative pole of the motor home  
or caravan battery!  
CONNECTING THE UNIT (SAT-IF CONNECTIONS)  
Connect the Sat IF inputs on the receiver to the satellite reception system. Use a  
coaxial cable with a standard F connector.  
If the F standard connectors are not yet tted on the cable, strip the insulation from  
the cable as shown in the following illustration and carefully twist the F standard  
connectors on to the ends of the cables until they are securely seated.  
When tting the connector, make sure that no wires from the braid are touching the  
inner conductor, so no short circuit can occur.  
The quality of the reception signal depends on this connection!  
RECEPTION REQUIREMENTS  
Make sure that your own satellite antenna system is equipped at least with a  
universal LNB for digital reception in the high-band range.  
RECEPTION SYSTEM PRESETS  
The presets for the control signals have been made for standard reception systems, i.e. 14/18 V for polarity  
reversal and 22 kHz switching signal for low/high band changeover on multi-feed reception systems.

CONNECTION AND SET-UP  
TV AND VIDEO RECORDER CONNECTION  
Connect the satellite receiver (Cinch socket) and the TV set (Scart socket) using the Cinch to Scart cable  
supplied, or connect both units (Scart sockets) using a Scart cable (see “Connection Example”). If your TV  
has a stereo feature, you can receive the sound in stereo via the Scart connection. Use a further Scart cable  
to connect the satellite receiver (VCR/Scart socket) to the video recorder/PVR.  
For system reasons, the same video signals are to be found at the TV Scart socket as at the video cinch  
output.  
If you are recording using an external video recorder, remember not to operate the  
receiver during recording, otherwise all the on-screen displays will appear on your  
recording.  
AUDIO CONNECTION  
If you want to play the sound on your hi-system, connect the audio cinch sockets to the input sockets  
on the hi-system, using an appropriate cable (see “Connection Example”).  
OPTICAL/ELECTRICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT  
The bre-optic output and the electrical digital output are intended for the connection of a Dolby Digital  
system (see “Connection Example”).  
INSERTING BATTERIES INTO THE REMOTE CONTROL  
Remove the cover on the rear of the remote control.  
Insert the two supplied batteries into the remote control. Ensure correct polarity of the batteries; the  
+ and - markings are indicated inside the battery compartment.  
Slide the cover back into the housing until it locks in place.  
INSTALLING THE UFS 740sw USING THE MOUNTING KIT  
The mounting kit supplied offers you the option not only of placing the receiver only a solid at surface,  
but also of xing it in place and of suspending it (e.g. underneath a shelf).  
When selecting the mounting location, take care that it conforms to the instructions  
in the chapter “Safety Instructions”! Note the need to access the connection sockets  
at the rear of the receiver and allow sufcient space for the cables once connected!

CONNECTION AND SET-UP  
SUSPENDED INSTALLATION  
Remove the wood screws supplied from their  
transport attachment on the underside of the  
respective mounting piece (2 pieces).  
Vertically insert each mounting piece into the fth  
slot from the edge, as shown in Fig. 1.  
Then push each mounting piece downwards and  
outwards (see Fig. 2) until they lie at on the receiver  
casing (see Fig. 3).  
Now press the mounting pieces rmly against the receiver casing  
at the points shown arrowed in Fig. 3), until the catch audibly snaps  
home in the receiver casing.  
Now hold the receiver, with the mounting kit attached, at the installation  
location. Screw in the wood screws supplied, through the smaller  
positions in the screw attachment area (4 x) (see Fig. 4). Wherever  
possible, use the wood screws supplied. If these are unsuitable,  
other screws of adequate size and strength can be used. Under no  
circumstances however use countersunk wood screws, since  
these can damage the attachment area (see Fig. 5).  
or  
Then screw all four screws fully home, so that the mounting kit is no  
longer able to work loose.  
INSTALLATION ON A FIXED FLAT SURFACE  
So as to prevent the receiver slipping or falling, the mounting kit can also be attached to the underside  
of the receiver. Assembly is the same as for suspended installation, except that the mounting kit is hooked  
into the underside of the receiver.

COMMON INTERFACE  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Always follow the operating instructions from your Pay-TV provider and the  
instructions supplied with the Smartcard and the CA module!  
Smartcards and CA modules are not included with this product!  
The cards and modules are issued by the respective Pay TV providers, and contain  
the subscriber data and details of the channels for which the subscriber has paid.  
These channels are always encrypted.  
Contact the Pay TV provider if you are interested in subscribing to a particular Pay TV  
channel.  
You are responsible for the use of the Smartcard in the CA!  
The Smartcard sold by the Pay TV provider, specic to a particular encryption  
technology, is inserted into the CA module.  
Store your card and PIN code securely when not in use!  
INSERTING THE SMARTCARD AND THE CA MODULE  
The Common Interface (CI)  on the UFS 740 is suitable for the use of two CA (Conditional Access)  
modules. These two CI slots are on the front right behind the display.  
The CA module  receives Smartcard  (chip contacts pointing upwards and towards socket strip)  
and is then inserted into one of the two CI slots .  
The Smartcard should be inserted into the CA module without exerting too much force. This also applies  
to inserting the CA module into the CI slot!  
Do not force the card in; and follow the instructions supplied with the Smartcard and the CA module.  
To remove the module, press the relevant eject button  
.

COMMON INTERFACE  
You can nd out which Conditional Access modules are in the CI slots on the UFS 740sw and which  
Smartcard is in which CA module from the “Mainmenu” under “Settings”, and the “Common Interface” menu.  
Conrmation is by pressing the  button.  
Use the ꢕꢖ buttons to select one of the two slots in which the CA module is located (“Module inserted”)  
and then press the  button. You will then see the menu generated by the CA module.  
The screenshots below depend on the specic module and card, and so are only intended as  
examples:  
From this menu, your card and your PIN code allow you to access various channels from your Pay-TV  
provider.  
“CryptoWorks” has been selected as an example here. The details can be different for each CA module.  
Always follow the instructions supplied by your Pay-TV provider!  
Note:  
The module displays may be shown in English, even if you have selected German as the  
menu language, because the menu is generated directly by the module!  
Information for Conax, SECA, Viaccess and CryptoWorks users:  
Note that with monthly activation intervals, the channel providers have different procedures  
for activating Pay TV cards. Activation may therefore be a few days before or after the  
beginning of a new month. During this activation period, the CA module and card must  
be in the slot, and the receiver must be turned on a set to the booked Pay TV channel.  
Follow the instructions from the Pay TV provider.  
If your Pay TV card is then still not enabled, we recommend you briey withdraw the CA  
module with the card out of the slot, with the receiver switched on, and then re-insert it.  
This information has nothing to do with the properties of the unit; it is merely intended to  
assist you.

SHORT TECHNICAL GUIDE  
CHANNEL PACKAGE  
The channel package for a digital transponder normally includes several TV and radio channels.  
Each channel package has a xed assignment for the transponder transmission frequency, for  
polarisation (horizontal or vertical), for the symbol rate and for the Viterbi rate or error rate.  
DISEQC™  
DiSEqC™ (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a communication system between a satellite receiver  
(master) and the peripheral satellite components (slaves), such as LNBs, multi-switches, rotating antenna  
systems.  
It is a single master/multi-slave system, i.e. there is only ever one master in the satellite system. All  
activities start from the master.  
DISEQC™ COMPONENTS  
If DiSEqC™ switching matrices are cascaded, the master receiver must transmit the DiSEqC™ signal  
several times, so that all DiSEqC™ multi-switches in the cascade receive their commands.  
These days, DiSEqC™ components (slaves) must be reverse compatible, i.e. respond to the analogue  
switching criteria from receivers that are only equipped with H/V and 22 kHz control signals.  
A DiSEqC™ switching matrix will work with analogue switching criteria until the DiSEqC™ command from  
the master is received. All analogue switching criteria are then ignored.  
DVB MPEG-2  
DVB is the abbreviation for Digital Video Broadcasting. DVB-S refers to the transmission method  
(S = satellite). MPEG is the abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group that  
formulates internationally applicable standards for the digital compression of video and audio. MPEG-2 has  
established itself as the standard for compression of digital TV signals. MPEG-2 works up to a data rate  
of 100 Mbit/s.  
EB/NO RATIO  
The Eb/No ratio is a measure of the signal to noise ratio of a digital signal. The value is not identical to  
the C/N value familiar from analogue reception technology. At Eb/No values below 5 dB no reception is  
normally possible.  
FEC  
FEC is the abbreviation for Forward Error Correction. The FEC error rate corresponds to the Viterbi rate.

SHORT TECHNICAL GUIDE  
PID  
The PID (Packet IDentication) number is an identication number for video signals and audio signals in  
the digital data stream of DVB-MPEG-2 signals. The receiver uses the PID number to create a unique  
assignment for the video and audio data transmission. The PCR PID is the identication number  
for the synchronisation signal. The PCR PID is normally identical to the video PID. For programmes  
broadcast in multiple languages, the audio PD can be entered manually to assign a different  
language to the TV programme. After the PID is entered, the digital receiver automatically selects the  
audio data identied by the PID number from the data stream and assigns it to the video signal.  
SYMBOL RATE  
The symbol rate describes the quantity of data that is transmitted per second. The symbol rate is  
measured in MSymbols/s and is equal to the number of symbols received per second.  
TRANSPONDER  
A transponder is a satellite channel which transmits TV and radio signals. A satellite has several  
transponders.  
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV channel and possibly multiple radio channels on the  
transmission frequency.  
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and several radio programmes at a transmission  
frequency. If a channel provider is broadcasting several TV channels via a digital transponder, we refer  
to this as the provider‘s channel package. The terms “digital transponder” and “channel package” have  
the same meaning.  
VIDEO-BIT-RATE  
The video bit rate describes the quantity of data from the digitised video signal that is transmitted per  
second.  
VITERBI RATE  
The Viterbi rate (code rate, error rate) characterises the error protection used by the programme provider.  
The DVB standard provides the following values: 1/2 - 2/3 - 3/4 - 5/6 - 7/8
