DVB combi receiver (SAT + DVB-T)
UFS 790si/sw
FOREWORD/IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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.
If you will not be using your receiver for a longer period, you should disconnect it from the mains to save energy. For shorter breaks, you can use the remote control to switch the receiver to standby, which uses only a minimal amount of energy.
We wish you good reception and much pleasure using your new DVB-Sat receiver.
Your
KATHREIN team
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The programs available on the satellites and transponders as well as the DVB-T channels are subject to continual change. This means the channel settings have to be regularly updated, even though the factory presetting always represents the latest version when the receiver was shipped. The information for these settings can be found on the Internet or in relevant magazines.
Your receiver was equipped in the factory with the latest software version at that time. We are, however, constantly working on adapting the software to the wishes of our customers and to developments in technology. The “Software Update” section provides more information on this aspect.
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”.
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 first installation), so you can restore them if necessary!
The term DiSEqC™ used in this operating manual is a registered trade mark of the European Telecommunication Satellite Organisation (EUTELSAT).
In order to disconnect the UFS 790 from the mains completely, the mains plug must be unplugged from the wall socket! Therefore place the UFS 790 near to a wall socket and make sure the socket is accessible, so that at any time (e.g. during a thunderstorm or during a long absence) you can disconnect the receiver from the mains.

RECEIVER FEATURES AND PRODUCT PACKAGE
RECEIVER FEATURES
The UFS 790si and UFS 790sw receivers enable digital satellite and digital terrestrial TV and radio channels to be received.
The decoding system for Conax is already integrated. In addition one Common Interface for a CA module is provided for decoding additional satellite Pay-TV channels.
The HDMI interface offers the optimum capability for connecting the receiver to a suitable flat-screen TV set.
The receivers have comprehensive features such as 16-character alphanumeric display for program names, electrical and optical audio outputs for Dolby Digital (AC 3) and Videotext with memory capacity for 800 pages.
These receivers are available in silver or black housings.
SWITCHING OFF THE RECEIVER AND UPDATING THE EPG
By pressing the button on the remote control 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. This procedure may take a few minutes, and is not shown in the receiver display. If the receiver is programmed to make a recording at this time, the updating is postponed until 03:00 the following night.
This update time cannot be changed.
This updates the EPG data for the first 25 channels of the overall channel list. However, this update is only performed if the receiver is in standby mode. If the receiver is completely switched off (at the mains) or if it is in operation, the update will be delayed. After updating the data, the receiver automatically switches back
to the standby mode. If during the update you press the button, the update is aborted and the receiver switches itself on.

CONNECTION AND SETUP
The following section is intended specifically for specialist dealers. You need not refer to this section unless you are carrying out the installation yourself. The “Connection Example” section provides a sample configuration.
Do not connect the receiver to the mains until all installation work has been properly carried out. Refer also to the information in the “Safety Instructions” section.
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER
SAT IF CONNECTION
Connect the Sat IF input on the receiver to the satellite reception system. Use a coaxial cable with a standard F connector.
If the F connector is not yet fitted to 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 fitted to the cable.
When fitting the connector, make sure that no strands from the braiding touch the inner conductor, otherwise a short circuit may occur.
The quality of the reception signal depends on this connection!
RECEPTION REQUIREMENTS
Ensure that your satellite antenna system is designed for digital reception.
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. Be sure to follow the operating instructions for the matrices used.
The parameters defined in the “Main Menu”, “Channel search” and “LNB settings” should only be changed by experienced installers.
8
CONNECTION AND SETUP
RF(HF) CONNECTION
Connect the RF input on the receiver to the antenna socket or your DVB-T antenna.
Use the antenna cable supplied for this purpose, or a coaxial cable with an IEC standard connector. If the IEC connector is not yet fitted to this cable, strip the insulation from the cable as shown in the following illustration and carefully twist the connector onto the end of the cable until it is securely fitted to the cable.

When fitting the connector, make sure that no strands from the braiding touch the inner conductor, otherwise a short circuit may occur.
The quality of the reception signal depends on this connection!
TV CONNECTION
Connect the satellite receiver (TV Scart socket) to the TV set with a Scart cable. If your TV is stereo, you can receive the sound in stereo via the Scart connection. Connect the satellite receiver to the video/DVD recorder with a Scart cable.
INSERTING BATTERIES IN 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 are indicated inside the battery compartment. Slide the cover back into the housing until it locks in place.
