Kathrein UFC 662sw User Manual

Operating manual  
DVB cable receiver  
UFC 662sw  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
The channels available on the cable network are subject to continual change. When such changes occur  
it is necessary to reset the channels. The information for these settings can be found on the Internet  
or in relevant magazines.  
The information in this operating manual was correct at the time of going to print. 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 (these are set during the rst installation), so you can  
restore them if necessary!  
Before you switch off the receiver using the power switch, you must switch the remote control into  
stand-by mode by pressing the stand-by button. In stand-by mode, any changed data that is broadcast  
will be saved by the receiver. Once the receiver is in standby mode it can be fully switched off at any  
time at the power switch at the front of the unit. Do not switch the receiver off at the power switch  
when it is in operating mode! This can lead to a loss of data and corruption of the software.

CONNECTION AND SETUP  
TV AND VCR CONNECTION  
Connect the cable receiver (HDMI or alternatively TV Scart socket) and the TV set using an HDMI or  
Scart cable (see “Connection example”). If your TV is stereo, you can receive the sound in stereo via  
the HDMI or Scart connection.  
For system reasons, the same video signals are to be found at the TV Scart socket as at the video cinch  
output.  
Use a Scart cable to connect the cable receiver (TV Scart socket) to the video recorder/PVR.  
Connecting a video recorder/PVR to the TV Scart socket allows you only to  
record. It does not allow you to play back on the TV set via the receiver. If you  
are recording via an external video recorder/PVR, 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”).  
ELECTRICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT  
The electric digital output is 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 batteries supplied into the remote  
control. Ensure correct polarity of the batteries; the + and – markings as indicated inside the battery

COMMON INTERFACE  
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 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.  
Store your card and PIN code securely when not in use!  
50  
SETTINGS  
Inserting the CA module into the CI  
The Common Interface (CI) of the UFC 662sw is suitable for insertion of a CA (Conditional Access)  
module and is located at the rear of the receiver. The CA module draws in the Smartcard  
(chip contacts pointing downwards and towards socket strip) which it then inserts into the CI slot .  
The Smartcard should be inserted into the CA module without exerting excessive force.  
This also applies to inserting the CA module into the CI slot!  
Do not use a lot of force and follow the instructions supplied with the Smartcard and the CA module.  
To remove the CA module, pull the CA module back out of the Common Interface.  
The screenshots below depend on the specic module and card, and so are only intended as  
examples:  
Press the  
button to access the menu generated by the CA module:  
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!  
51  
SETTINGS  
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 receiver; it is merely intended to  
assist you.
