Twin-DVR Sat Receiver
UFD 580/580S
with Hard Disk Drive
Preface
Preface
Dear customer,
This Operating Manual is intended to help you make the fullest use of
the extensive range of functions offered by your new satellite receiver.
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 using your receiver for a longer period, you should therefore use
the power switch to disconnect it from the power supply to save
energy. For shorter breaks, you can switch the receiver to standby on
the remote control, which uses only a minimal amount of energy.
We wish you good reception and much pleasure using your new
DVR-Sat receiver.
Your
KATHREIN Team
Important Information
If you should experience any unexpected problems with your receiver,
please contact your specialist dealer or our hotline:
Tel.: +49 8031 184-700
Fax: +49 8031 184-676
The programmes available on the satellites and transponders are
subject to continual change. 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 SAT 1 Videotext/Teletext service, on the Internet or in
TV and radio magazines.
Your receiver is factory fitted 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.
The hard disks are fragile due to their construction and are only
adequately protected in the receiver by the original packaging.
If receiver is not shipped correctly the warranty on the hard disk
will be voided.

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
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.
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
14
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.
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!
Coax cable with F connectors
Connection and Setup
15
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 27
th
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.
Initial Setup
16
Initial Setup
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
button on the remote
control.
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
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.
Error Signalling
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
17
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:
A CA module must be inserted for the message to appear, however.
You can find out which card is inserted in the Common Access
module by selecting “Common Interface” from the main menu and
confirming by pressing
.
The screenshots below depend on the specific module and card,
and so are only intended as examples.
Press
to access a menu generated by the module.
Common Interface

From this menu, your card and your PIN code allow you to access
various programmes from your Pay TV provider.
“CryptoWorks” has been selected as an example here. The
details may vary for each CA module.
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.
This information has nothing to do with the properties of the unit; it is
merely intended to assist you.

TVTV EPG and Timer
The EPG is a latest-generation Electronic Programme Guide
replacing the existing EPG and the timer menu. It provides all the EPG
