Foreword

Dear customer

This operating manual is intended to assist you in making optimum use of the comprehensive functions of your new DVB combi receiver and the turntable. We have tried to make the operating instructions as easy as possible to understand, and to keep them as concise as possible. To help you understand particular specialist terms that cannot be translated, we have added a short glossary at the end of the manual

The power switch is an environmentally friendly feature. If you will not be watching the television for a longer period, you should therefore disconnect your equipment from the power supply to save energy. For shorter breaks, you can switch the equipment to standby on the remote control, which uses only a minimal amount of energy

We hope you will have a good reception and gain a lot of enjoyment from your new DVB caravan receiver and automatic positioner

The programme packages for the satellites and transponders are subject to constant changes. In such cases, it is necessary to reset the channels as the factory preset programming corresponds to the situation on the date of manufacture. The information for this reset can be found on the Internet or in relevant magazines.

Our equipment is factory fi tted with the most recent software version. We are constantly working on adapting the software to the requirements of our customers and developments in technology. The Software and Channel List Update section contains additional information.

Note that the Kathrein turntable has been designed exclusively for use with the Kathrein UFD 170 DVB receiver/controller

Connecting the Unit

f you will be using the UFD 170 in conjunction with a CAP 210 or CAP 310 from Kathrein, the installation instructions for the relevant CAP unit must be followed during installation.

SAT-IF Connection

Connect the SAT-IF input on the UFD 170 to the satellite receiving system. Use a coaxial cable with a standard F connector

f the F connector is not yet fi tted on the cable, strip the insulation from the cable as shown in the following illustration and carefully twist the F connector onto the end of the cable until it is securely fi tted on the cable

braid bent back

7 mm

10 mm

When fi tting the connector, make sure that no wires from the braiding are touching the inner conductor - this could result in short circuit

The quality of the reception signal depends on the connection.

Receiving Requirements

Make sure that your own satellite antenna system is equipped with at least a universal LNB for digital reception in the high-band range.

Receiving System Presets

The presents 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.

Important information on the remote control

You can only operate the UFD 170 using the remote control (RC 400) supplied. Without the remote control, it is not possible to set up or control the receiver and the turntable. Therefore, you should always take good care of your remote control and make sure you have spare batteries for it.

Remote control instruction sets

The remote control has two instruction sets. This alllows you to operate two receivers independently of one another in the same room.

Note	This does not work in conjunction with a twin receiver!

To use this feature, program the fi rst receiver to instruction set 1 and the second to instruction set 2

First turn on receiver 1 and then receiver 2 using the power switch

Hold down the key

Enter “901” using the number keys.

To transfer the code, switch receiver 1 to standby with and then turn the unit off with the power switch

Start up receiver 2 again.

Hold down the key

Enter “902” using the number keys.

To transfer the code, switch receiver 2 to standby with and then turn it back on

Start up receiver 1 again.

Hold down the key

Enter “903” using the number keys.

For the fi rst two settings, the remote control must be pointed at the relevant receiver turned on

You can now use the key to change between the two instruction sets A and B (toggle function), and operate the two receivers alternately

As supplied, instruction set 1 is always activated by default.

f you are only operating one receiver, and the active instruction set is accidentally changed so that you can no longer operate the receiver, the remote control can be switched back to instruction set 1 with no problems. This procedure is described above
