Connection and Setup  
Connection and Setup  
The following section is intended specifically 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 range of sample  
configurations.  
Do not connect the unit to the mains until all installation work has  
been properly carried out.  
Refer to the information in the “Safety instructions” section.  
Connecting the Unit  
Sat IF Connection  
Connect the Sat IF inputs on the receiver to the satellite reception  
system.  
Use coaxial cable with a standard F connector.  
If the F connectors are not yet fitted on the cable, strip the insulation  
from the cables as shown in the following illustration and carefully  
twist the F connectors onto the ends of the cables until they are  
securely fitted.  
When fitting the connector, make sure that no wires from the braiding  
are touching the inner conductor, so no short circuit can occur.  
The quality of the reception signal depends on the connection.  
Reception Requirements  
Reception System Presets  
Make sure that your own satellite antenna system is equipped at least  
with a universal LNB for digital reception in the high-band range.  
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.  
The preset will need to be changed in the installation menu under  
“DiSEqC™” if UFO®micro or tone burst switching matrices are used in  
the receiving system.  
Refer to the section headed “Installation menu, DiSEqC™ menu”.  
Be sure to follow the operating instructions for the matrix used.

Connection and Setup  
Operation on one Antenna Connection  
To enable you to utilise all the reception and recording properties of  
your UFD 580 twin-DVR Sat receiver, such as  
1. recording one programme and at the same time viewing any  
other programme or zapping through the programmes, and  
2. recording two different programmes at the same time,  
the two tuner inputs of the Sat receiver must each be supplied with a  
dedicated satellite signal from the antenna system/Sat outlet.  
The receiver tuner inputs are factory preset on the installation menu  
for “#1 & #2” mode, meaning for two separate Sat antennas.  
If you only have one antenna connection available, we recommend  
you interconnect the output of tuner 1 and the input of tuner 2 by a  
coaxial cable with F connectors.  
Coax cable with F connectors  
Then “Loop” mode must be selected on the installation menu for the  
tuner input.  
You will find the “Tuner input” option by pressing the button. Then  
select “Installation”, “LNB configuration”, and confirm the satellite you  
are receiving by pressing . You can then make the settings here,  
though a restriction on this is that with tuner 2 you can only receive the  
additional programmes of the plane currently set by tuner 1 (e.g.  
Horizontal High).  
Note:  
This will only work when receiving one satellite, not in multifeed  
reception!  
If only tuner 1 is connected (with no connection to tuner 2), the setting  
“#1” must be selected for the tuner input. You can then have only the  
possibilities offered by a normal “single” receiver available to you.  
If this setting is not made, malfunctions will occur and the following  
message will be displayed:  
Weak signal or no signal!

Connection and Setup  
TV and Video Recorder Connection  
Connect the satellite receiver (TV Scart socket) and the TV set by a  
Scart cable (see “Connection example”).  
If your TV has a stereo feature, you can receive the sound in stereo  
via the Scart connection.  
Connect the satellite receiver (VCR/AUX Scart socket) and the video  
recorder likewise by a Scart cable.  
For system reasons, the same video signals are to be found on the  
Scart outputs and on 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-fi system, connect the audio  
cinch sockets to the input sockets on the hi-fi system with an  
appropriate cable (see “Connection example”).  
SPDIF Connections (Electrical/Optical)  
The electrical SPDIF cinch output and the optical output are for  
connection to a Dolby digital system (see “Connection example”).  
Inserting Batteries in 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.  
Used batteries are special waste.  
Do not throw used batteries into your household waste; take them to a  
collection point for old batteries.  
Electronic equipment is not household waste - in accordance with  
directive 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE  
COUNCIL dated 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 designated  
public collection point.

Getting Started  
Connect the unit to the mains power supply.  
Switch on the receiver by pressing the power button on the front of the  
unit.  
The LED shows “- - - - ”.  
The operation indicator LED lights up red, the unit is in standby.  
Switch on the receiver by pressing the  
control.  
button on the remote  
The red LED on the front panel of the receiver flashes each time a  
button on the remote control is pressed.  
The screen displays the factory preset programme. In the bottom  
section of the screen is an information bar showing the name of the  
programme provider, the time, the timer settings, the programme  
status and title, provided those details are being broadcast. The LED  
display indicates the programme's memory location number.  
The red standby indicator goes out.  
You can now receive the factory preset TV and radio programmes and  
call them up by pressing the buttons. Press (blue) and to select  
radio programmes. Press the blue button again to return to the TV  
programmes.  
For details of how to save additional TV and radio programmes, refer  
to the "TV/Radio Programme Lists" section.  
Please check the time is correct according to whether you are on  
Summer or Winter time.  
When you switch on, the last reception status set is always  
restored.  
Power Failure Safety  
Error Signalling  
After a power failure, the receiver automatically powers up,  
obtains the time from the reception signal and then returns to  
standby. This preserves the timer settings.  
If the message “Weak signal or no signal” appears on the screen as  
well as the display for the last programme received, check the  
installation of the system and/or the receiver settings. If this only  
affects individual programme slots, there may be an interrupted signal  
from the programme provider or a fault in the reception system (cable  
or satellite system).  
First of all, check the connection configuration and whether the default  
receiver settings are correct for your system. In case of doubt, consult  
a specialist engineer.

Initial Setup  
Receiver Presetting  
Your receiver is factory pre-programmed to receive the ASTRA  
(19° East/28°East) and HotBird satellites, as well as Eutelsat 10E and  
16E, TurkSat 42E, Telecom 5W and 8W, and others. You do not  
normally need to make any additional settings. If you are not  
connected to a communal system, you will need a multifeed  
arrangement with at least two LNBs in front of the satellite dish in  
order to receive multiple satellite systems. Consult your specialist  
dealer on this.  
Before you change the basic settings of your receiver, write down the  
settings on the form provided at the end of this operating manual. You  
will then be able to restore the original settings at any time.

Common Interface  
Follow the instructions given by your Pay TV provider.  
The Common Interface for insertion of two so-called Conditional  
Access modules is located underneath the front flap.  
The Smartcard sold by the Pay TV provider, specific to a particular  
encryption technology, is inserted into the CA module. The card is not  
included in the receiver package.  
The cards and modules are issued by the respective Pay TV  
providers, and contain the subscriber data and details of the  
programmes for which the subscriber has paid. These programmes  
are always encrypted.  
Contact the Pay TV provider if you are interested in subscribing to a  
particular Pay TV channel.  
You alone are responsible for use of the cards.  
Keep the card and the associated PIN code in a safe placing when not  
in use.  
When you turn on the receiver, the following message appears:

The displays appear in English, even if you have selected German as  
the menu language for the receiver.  
Please always follow the instructions supplied by your Pay TV  
provider.  
Information for Conax, SECA, Viaccess and CryptoWorks users:  
Note that with monthly activation intervals, the programme 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.  
For monthly subscription extensions, the card can be re-initialised by  
way of the CAM "CAM Re-initialisation" menu.  
If your Pay TV card is then still not enabled, we recommend you  
briefly withdraw the CA module with the card out of the slot, with the  
receiver switched on, and then re-insert it.

Important Additional Information  
If a satellite scan is carried out or programmes supported by  
the EPG are moved around the programme list, the

To update, the receiver must be switched to standby mode

The button does not become active until 15-20 seconds  
after the picture appears on the TV.  
The EPG‘ update is only started if no timer recording  
is programmed within the next hour.  
The  
EPG is broadcast over the ASTRA satellite at the  
frequency of 12,603.75 MHz, with a symbol rate of 22  
MSymb/s and horizontal polarisation (18 V). If you have  
accidentally deleted the transponder at this frequency, you will  
need to start a new satellite and transponder scan for the  
ASTRA satellite (see “Satellite Search”).  
If a factory reset is performed, the information contained in the  
EPG is also deleted. To restore the data required for  
the

As soon as the disappears from the receiver display  
the EPG is updated.  
EPG, you must run a satellite scan and then switch  
EPG data.  
Digital-compatible single-cable solutions, such as “Technisat  
DisiCon 4 LNB”, do not permit transmission of the EPG  
data, because the necessary transponder (12,603.75 MHz,  
symbol rate 22 MSymb/s, horizontal) is not transmitted in that  
system. This transponder must not be deleted, as the  
EPG data is transmitted on it.  
The  
EPG data is buffered on the hard disk, meaning  
the hard disk is running even during normal SAT reception. Its  
running noise is much less than in recording or playback  
mode however. In addition, the hard disk emits a short noise  
every 10 minutes indicating an essential data balancing  
operation. This is quite normal, and does not need to concern  
you.  
At present it is only possible to scroll forward from the  
“Current” (Now playing) views in the  
EPG in 15-minute  
blocks; it is not yet possible to access days ahead by a quick  
and easy route.  
To do so, press the button to access the “Highlights” view  
and use the arrow buttons to select the daily highlight tip  
displayed on the date you are looking for. You can now press  
the button again to switch to the “Current” view and you will  
then see the data for the day you want.

LNB Configuration  
Pay attention to the  
bar at the bottom of  
the on-screen display!  
It provides guidance  
on what to do next.  
The first submenu is the “LNB Configuration”. Press to open it.  
You should not normally 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 manual. Your receiver  
is preset at the factory to the satellites of the ASTRA and HOTBIRD  
systems.  
The other basic settings are shown in the screenshot above.  
Oscillator Frequency L.O.  
Satellite reception systems consist of a parabolic antenna attached to  
the actual reception system (LNB - Low Noise Blockconverter or  
LNC - Low Noise Converter), which converts the RF signal from the  
satellite into a lower frequency that can be processed by a satellite  
receiver.  
The satellite transmission frequencies are located in the following  
ranges:  
10.7-11.7 GHz  
11.7-12.75 GHz  
Low band  
High band  
72  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Installation Menu  
However, the input frequency range for the receiver is in the range  
950 to 2150 MHz. The high frequencies are therefore converted into a  
lower frequency using the oscillator frequency (LO frequency/  
L.O. = LNB local oscillator). Different oscillator frequencies are used  
for the conversion depending on the satellite frequency range and the  
system type.  
For ASTRA and EUTELSAT reception systems, this is normally  
9.75 GHz (9750 MHz) for the lower frequency range (low band) and  
10.6 GHz (10600 MHz) for the upper frequency range (high band).  
Older reception systems still use a 10 GHz oscillator frequency in the  
low band range (which is not normally suitable for digital reception).  
The receiver generates the frequency to which it needs to adjust by  
subtracting the oscillator frequency from the satellite transmission  
frequency saved for each programme. You only have to set the  
oscillator frequency used by your reception system. Before chancing  
the LO frequency, you must therefore ascertain whether this is  
actually necessary.  
The oscillator frequencies listed above are the factory settings.  
Changing the Oscillator Frequency  
Press to move to the right-hand section of the LNB configuration  
menu. The setting for L.O. High is highlighted in colour. You can now  
use the number buttons to enter a new frequency appropriate for your  
system. Use the  buttons to select L.O. Low and do the same.  
Press four times to exit the menu. This saves the set value.  
If you make an incorrect setting, you will see the following message:  
Weak signal or no signal  
Operation  
The factory setting is “On”.  
Under normal circumstances, the supply voltage should be turned on.  
Receiving Two Satellites  
If your receiver is connected to a multi-feed antenna, which is aligned  
with the HotBird satellites for example, you must change the receiver  
settings for the DiSEqC™ signal. This also applies to other satellites  
as well of course (DiSEqC™ = Digital Satellite Equipment Control).  
Different control signals are required to select the satellite signals. To  
date, the LNB supply voltage of 14/18 V and the 22 kHz signal  
(superimposed on the LNB supply voltage) have been sufficient for  
signal selection for most applications. These four switching signals  
allow you to switch between the horizontally and vertically polarised  
signals and between two satellites (multi-feed reception).  
To extend the frequency range to the 12 GHz range (high band) or for  
reception from more than two satellites, additional control signals are  
required for LNB actuation and signal selection.  
The DiSEqC™ signal is responsible for this. This is a special  
modulation of the existing 22 kHz signal.

UFO®micro  
The setting for this menu option is also designed for operation of the  
receiver in a processing system.  
The return path of the coaxial cable is used for control and  
communication between the receiver and the Kathrein UFO®micro  
system. If the receiver is operated in a UFO®micro reception system,  
the “UFO®micro” menu option must be set to “On”.  
The reception system then assigns the receiver a special address  
upon installation, so that it will recognise the control commands sent  
by the receiver to the reception system for signal selection.  
In this operating mode, a remote frequency does not need to be set,  
as it is specified by the UFO®micro system with the addressing.

Operating System Software Download  
The procedure for downloading the operating system software is the  
same as that described above.  
Start the transfer of the operating system software by simultaneously  
pressing Î (right arrow button) and “SELECT” under the front flap of  
the master.  
During downloading, the display of the master shows “t001 t002 ..  
t00n”, while the slave correspondingly shows “r001 r002..r00n”.  
The LED displays “----” during the block transfer.  
If both receivers indicate “Succ”, the download was successful.  
If any problems occur in transmission, the master display will show  
“F * * *”, with * representing a numerical value. In such cases, check  
the cable connection and retry.  
The receiver to receiver data exchange as described above must  
only be carried out between devices of the same type, otherwise  
malfunctions or total loss of the operating system software may  
occur.  
On no account may the receivers be switched off or the connection  
interrupted during data transfer. This may result in data loss,  
malfunctions or total failure of the operating system.  
Always wait until the “Succ” or “F * * *” message appears on the

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 critiera  
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  
OTR  
FEC is the abbreviation for Forward Error Correction. The FEC error  
rate corresponds to the Viterbi rate.  
One Touch Recording  
PID  
The PID (Packet IDentification) number 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 create a  
unique assignment for the video and audio data transmission. The

Short Technical Guide  
PCR PID is the identification number for the synchronisation signal.  
The PCR PID is normally identical to the video PID. For programmes  
broadcast in multiple languages, the audio PID 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 identified by the PID number from the data stream and assigns it  
to the video signal.  
Programme package  
The programme package for a digital transponder normally includes  
several TV and radio programmes. Each programme package has a  
fixed assignment for the transponder transmission frequency, for  
polarisation (horizontal or vertical), for the symbol rate and for the  
Viterbi rate or error rate.  
PIP  
Picture In Picture function  
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 programme and possibly  
multiple radio programmes on the transmission frequency.  
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and several  
radio programmes at a transmission frequency. If a programme  
provider is broadcasting several TV programmes via a digital  
transponder, we refer to the provider's programme package. The  
terms “digital transponder” and “programme package” have the same  
meaning.  
Video bit rate  
Viterbi rate  
The video bit rate describes the quantity of data from the digitised  
video signal that is transmitted per second.  
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
