PREFACE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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 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 DVB Sat receiver.
Yours,
The KATHREIN team
The channels available on the satellites and transponders are subject to continual change. This means
the channel presets must be regularly updated, though the factory presetting always represents the latest
updated version. The information for this reset can be found on the Internet or in relevant magazines.
Your receiver is factory tted 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
Update“ section provides more information on this.
Please keep the original packaging in case you need to return the product at any time!

RECEIVER FEATURES

The UFS 601si receiver is suitable for the reception of FTA digital satellite TV and radio programmes.
The receiver comes in a modern mini-casing, which despite its small size offers a wide range of connection
possibilities, such as two Scart sockets and an optical digital audio output.
The audio output allows you to reproduce cinema sound in your living room with Dolby Digital equipment.
The infra-red sensor, which is included with the receiver, enables the mini receiver to be hidden from view.
In addition, the receiver has a 12 V input as well as a separate 230 V/12 V power supply enabling both
stationary and mobile use.
The receiver can also be mounted vertically, and the display output changed to suit the mounting
arrangement (see installation menu/user settings). The mounting kit supplied provides additional security
to prevent the receiver slipping down or falling off.
The UFS 601si is available only in silver.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7
When tting 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 this connection!

CONNECTION AND SET-UP

The following section is intended speci cally for specialist dealers. You only need to read this
section if you are carrying out the installation yourself. The “Connection Diagram” section provides
a sample con guration.
Do not connect the unit to the mains until all installation work has been properly carried out. Refer also to the
information in the “Safety Instructions” section.
CONNECTING THE UNIT
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 tted 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 tted to the
cable.
RECEPTION REQUIREMENTS
Ensure that your satellite antenna system is designed for digital reception.
RECEPTION SYSTEM PRESETS
The presets for the control signals are for standard reception systems, i.e. 14/18 V for polarity switching and
22 kHz switching signal for low/high band changeover. Be sure to follow the operating instructions for the
matrices used.
The parameters on the “Antenna Con guration” menu should only be changed by experienced installers.
SAT IF CONNECTION
8
TV CONNECTION
Connect the satellite receiver (TV Scart socket) to the TV set with a Scart cable.
If your TV has a stereo feature, you can receive the sound in stereo via the Scart connection.
Connect the satellite receiver to the video/DVD recorder with a Scart cable.
CONNECTION AND SET-UP
INSERTING BATTERIES INTO 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 spent batteries into your domestic 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 waste
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.
IR RECEIVER
If the receiver is not set up within the reception range of the remote control’s infrared signals (concealed
installation), connect the infrared receiver (and not included in the delivery scope of UFS 601 si with the
order no. 20210095, please order separately) to the “IR SENSOR” socket and position it so that you are in
sight of the remote control.
The mounting kit supplied offers you the option not only of placing the receiver on a solid at surface, but
also of mounting it suspended (e.g. underneath a shelf).
INSTALLING THE UFS 601SI USING THE MOUNTING KIT
When selecting the mounting location, take care that it conforms to the instructions in
the chapter “Safety Instructions”! Note the need to access the connection sockets at
the rear of the receiver and allow suf cient space for the cables once connected!
Insert the two mounting piece projections into the vertical slots in the centre rows on each side, as shown in
Fig. 1 (see next page).
SUSPENDED INSTALLATION
9
CONNECTION AND SET-UP
Now push the mounting kit rmly against the receiver casing, until
the catch audibly snaps home (see Fig 2).
Now hold the receiver, with the installation kit attached, at
the installation location. Screw in the wood screws supplied
through the smaller holes in the screw attachment area (4 x)
(see Fig. 3). Wherever possible, use the wood screws supplied.
If these are unsuitable, other screws of adequate size and strength
can be used. Under no circumstances however use countersunk
wood screws, since these can damage the attachment area
(see Fig. 4).
Then screw all four screws fully home, so that the installation kit is
no longer able to come free.
or
MOUNTING ON A FIXED FLAT SURFACE
So as to prevent the receiver slipping down
or falling off, the installation kit can also be
reversed before attachment to the receiver
(see illustration on the right). Assembly is the
same as for suspended mounting, except
that the mounting kit faces downwards when
inserted into the side of the receiver.
