FOREWORD/IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Do not switch the receiver off at the power switch directly from the operating mode! This  
can lead to loss of data and corruption of the software.  
The channels available on the satellites and transponders are subject to continual change. In such cases,  
it is necessary to re-adjust the channels as the factory preset programming corresponds to the situation  
on the date of manufacture. The information for these settings can be found on the Internet or in relevant  
magazines.  
Your receiver is equipped in the factory with the latest software version. We are however constantly working  
on adapting the software to the wishes of our customers and to developments in technology. The “Software  
and Channel List Update” section contains additional information.  
Please keep the original packaging in case you need to return the product at any time!  
Any modications to the receiver software will invalidate the warranty!  
You will have to bear the costs yourself for dispatching and repairing any receiver that requires  
attention due to modications to the software other than those provided by Kathrein!  
Therefore exclusively use software provided by Kathrein for your receiver. This is available by  
downloading from the satellite or from the Internet (www.kathrein.de).  
The standby power consumption of < 1 W printed on the receiver packaging is achieved only when  
the receiver is in stand-by mode with the display switched off. You can perform the setting in the  
following menu: “Main menu”, “Settings”, “Customize screen menu”, “Front display in standby”  
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”.  
Make a note of the receiver's basic settings, so as to be able to restore them if necessary!  
Included in the software for this receiver is software that is licensed under the GNU (General  
Public Licence). You can nd out how to obtain the source code for the program at:

SWITCHING OFF THE RECEIVER AND UPDATING THE EPG  
By pressing the  button you can switch the receiver out of TV mode to the standby mode, and back  
again.  
The receiver has the facility to update the EPG overnight, i.e. at 03:00 the receiver automatically starts to  
update the EPG data. If the receiver is in operation at this time, the update is postponed until 03:00 the  
following night.  
The update time cannot be changed.  
During the update, the EPG data for all channels listed in the favourite lists, together with the rst 25 channels  
in the overall channel list are updated. However, this update is only performed if the receiver is in the standby  
mode. If the receiver is completely switched off (at the mains) or if it is in operation, the update will be  
delayed (see above). After updating the data, the receiver automatically switches back to the standby mode.  
By pressing the  button you can interrupt the update before it is nished; the receiver then switches  
immediately to the standby mode.

from the mains by unplugging the mains connector. This also applies to the other equipment connected to the unit.  
Isolation from the cable network is also recommended. Note any timer programs (receiver) and turn the unit on  
again promptly before the recording time. Ensure the mains connector is accessible at all times.  
Installation location  
All electronic equipment generates heat. However, the heating of this unit lies within the permissible range. Sensitive  
furniture surfaces and veneers may become discoloured by the effects of constant heat over time. The feet of the  
unit can also cause colour changes to treated furniture surfaces. If necessary, place the unit on a suitable stable  
and at base!  
Ventilation  
The heat generated in this unit is adequately dissipated. However, the unit should never be installed in a cupboard  
or on shelves with inadequate ventilation. Never cover the cooling slots on the unit (e.g. with other equipment,  
magazines, tablecloths or curtains)!  
Do not place any objects on top of the unit and maintain a clearance of at least 10 cm above the unit, so that the  
heat generated can be dissipated with no obstructions.  
Moisture, sunlight, heat, naked ames  
Protect the unit against moisture, dripping and splashed water (do not place any lled objects such as vases on  
top of the unit). Do not place the unit close to a heater or expose it to direct sunlight and do not operate it in damp  
locations. Only use the unit in a moderate climate, not in tropical conditions! Do not expose the unit to any naked  
ame, such as from a candle! This constitutes a re hazard!

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 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.

SERIES RECORDING  
Series recording depends on the EPG data being kept up to date at all times. The  
receiver automatically updates the EPG data when the unit is switched off by

times of the series, provided these were incorporated in the EPG data supplied  
by the channel provider in advance of the latest EPG update.  
Use the ꢔꢗ buttons to select the recording mode “Series recording”.  
In series recording the start and nish of recording are taken automatically by the receiver from the  
EPG data. You can specify only a single value for the lead-in and run-on time to be sure to record the  
complete programme even if transmission times may vary slightly. The lead-in and run-out time is set  
using the ꢔꢗ buttons or the number buttons.  
When all settings have been made, press the  button to save the recording settings. You can view

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 module 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 scrambled.  
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.

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.

SHORT TECHNICAL GLOSSARY  
AC3  
Output for Dolby Digital signal  
ASTRA  
SES (Société Européene des Satellites) satellite system. Analogue and digital transponders in the frequency  
range 10.7-12.75 GHz.  
AV programme slot  
Preferred programme slot on TV set for external connections such as Scart and HDMI  
CAM – Conditional Access Module  
Decryption decoder, which uses a smart card to decrypt the coded radio and TV signals.  
CI - Common Interface  
Internationally standardised interface for CA modules  
Conditional Access (CA) system  
Controls user access to services and programmes which are scrambled for reasons of copyright or for  
commercial reasons.  
Data rate  
Data bits transmitted per second. Is expressed in kbit/s or Mbit/s. The higher the data rate the better the  
quality of the transmitted signal.  
Data reduction  
Compression of video and audio signals. Redundant information is discarded.  
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.  
Dolby Digital 5.1  
Dolby Digital is a sound transmission that allows digital surround sound to be output on a home cinema  
system.  
DVB - Digital Video Broadcasting  
DVB-S refers to the transmission method (S = satellite, C = cable, T = terrestrial).  
DVB-S2  
An enhanced DVB-S signal for HDTV with better quality.

SHORT TECHNICAL GLOSSARY  
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.  
EUTELSAT  
European Satellite operator, based in Paris. Many orbit positions and European customers. Transponders  
in the frequency range 10.7-12.75 GHz.  
FEC  
FEC is the abbreviation for “Forward Error Correction”. A technique for reducing the error rate of data  
transmission. Additional bits are inserted into the data stream, so that error-correction algorithms can be  
used on reception. The FEC error rate corresponds to the Viterbi rate.  
HD – Ready  
This is a label created by the EICTA (European Information, Communications and Consumer Electronics  
Industry Technology Association) for equipment that is capable of reproducing HDTV.  
HDCP – High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection  
Scrambling system which protects the HDMI and DVI interfaces for secure transmission of video and  
audio data. HDCP should be used in Europe for HDTV standard transmissions.  
HDMI – High Denition Multimedia Interface  
Digital interface for digital video and audio data transmission (preferred for HDTV).  
HDTV – High Denition Television  
High resolution television with a resolution 6 times higher or ner than PAL or NTSC. However, there is  
no compatibility, as the transmission process DVB-S2 and the compression technique MPEG-4 are  
used for broadcasting.  
The principal features of HDTV are the larger picture format (16:9), twice the number of scan lines  
(currently 625, increased to 1,250) and digital sound quality.  
High band  
Satellite frequency range between 11.7 GHz and 12.75 GHz.  
H.264  
Another designation for MPEG-4.  
LNB - Low Noise Block Converter  
Converts the satellite downlink frequencies to 1st Sat IF.  
Low Band  
Satellite frequency range between 10.7 GHz and 11.7 GHz.  
MPEG-2  
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.  
MPEG-4  
A further development of MPEG-2 with even higher data compression, intended for HDTV transmissions.

SHORT TECHNICAL GLOSSARY  
NID  
The channel identication number is also referred to as the Network ID or NID.  
OSD – On-Screen Display  
Displays by the receiver on the TV screen (e.g. main menu)  
PAL  
Analogue TV standard  
Pay TV  
Television channels available on subscription (e.g. PREMIERE). Scrambled transmitters which can be  
decrypted only by using the appropriate smart card. As a rule these services are subscription-only.  
PCMCIA  
Standard for internal decoder interface for pay TV  
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 PID-PCR 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.  
PIN  
Personal Identication Number. For this unit the PIN is a 4-digit numeric code which must be entered  
to unlock the unit to allow access to certain functions and channels.  
Programme 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.  
QAM - Quadrature-Amplitude-Modulation  
Digital modulation process with phase shift keying, which is used for transmissions in cable networks.  
QPSK - Quadrature Phase Shift Keying  
Digital modulation process used for satellite transmission. (8PSK is also used in connection with HDTV)  
Receiver  
Receiver  
RGB  
Video signal made up of three individual colour signals (red, green, blue)  
SAT IF signal  
Receiver input signal  
Scart cable  
21-pin connecting cable (e.g. receiver/TV)

SHORT TECHNICAL GLOSSARY  
Smartcard  
Card from pay TV provider for decoding its programmes  
Stand-by  
Standby mode  
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.  
Time-shift function  
Timeshifted playback  
Timer function  
Clock function for pre-programmed switch on and off times  
Transponder  
A transponder is a frequency converter which receives TV and radio signals broadcast from the earth,  
converts them and then rebroadcasts them to the earth at a different frequency. A satellite has several  
transponders.  
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV channel and possibly multiple radio channels on a single  
transmission frequency.  
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and several radio programmes on a transmission  
frequency. If a programme provider is broadcasting several TV channels via a digital transponder,  
we refer to the provider's channel package. The terms “digital transponder” and “channel package”  
have the same meaning.  
VCR/DVR connection  
Connection for an external recorder (such as a video or DVD recorder)  
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
