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 an
extended period, you should use the power switch to disconnect it from the power supply and 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 hope you will enjoy using your new HDTV receiver.

Your
KATHREIN team

Difference between PAL and HDTV

The difference between PAL and HDTV

High-resolution TV is characterised by a signifi cantly higher number of picture lines on the TV set.
The usual European standard PAL achieves a resolution of 576 lines vertically and 720 lines
horizontally. High-resolution TV provides an impressive resolution, up to fi ve times higher than the usual
PAL standard TV, and hence delivering more detail sharpness and responsiveness.
A HDTV picture can contain up to fi ve times as many picture points, that is, approximately 2 million pixels
compared to a conventional PAL picture with only approximately 400,000 pixels.
Worldwide there are currently two HDTV standards, based on the two formats 1080i and 720p. The two
standards differ in the number of picture lines and in the transmission procedure. For the human eye,
the difference between the two HDTV standards is hardly perceptible, however; in comparison to the
PAL system, moving pictures look much more dynamic. Transmission technology and reception equipment
will be able to handle both standards in the future.

1080i 1920 x 1080

720p 1280 x 720

PAL 720 x 576

Safety Instructions - Important Notes

The channels available on the satellites and transponders are subject to continual change. If changes
do occur, the new channels have to be set on the receiver because the factory preset programming
corresponds to the status on the date of manufacture. 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. Further information on this can be found in the sections “Main Menu - Service Menu”,
“Software Update”.

Please keep the original packaging in case you need to return the product at any time. The receivers
are fragile due to their construction and are only adequately protected by the original packaging.
If the receiver is not shipped correctly the guarantee/warranty on it will be voided.

Any modifi cations to the receiver software, or the use of applications not provided by Kathrein, will
invalidate the warranty! You will have to bear the costs yourself for shipping and repairing any receiver
that requires attention due to modifi cations to the software and use of applications other than those
provided by Kathrein!
Therefore exclusively use only software and applications provided by Kathrein for your receiver. These
are available by downloading from the satellite or from our Internet pages (www.kathrein.de).

Make sure that the ventilation slots on the unit are not covered in any way.
Otherwise the unit may overheat.

There is a risk of fi re!

Connect the satellite receiver (HDMI or alternatively TV Scart socket) and the TV set using an HDMI or
Scart cable (see “Connection example”).
For system reasons, the same video signals are present at both the TV Scart socket and also the
video cinch output.

There are two ways you can access the digital audio.

HDMI

The stereo audio is transmitted to your TV set via the HDMI interface. If your TV set also supports
Dolby Digital, you can also receive the Dolby Digital audio via the HDMI interface (providing it is
broadcast by the channel provider). On this issue refer to the operating manual for your TV set.

S/PDIF Dolby Digital output

The S/PDIF output is intended for the connection of a Dolby Digital system (see “Advanced connection
example” in the technical appendix). Connect the S/PDIF output and the Dolby Digital system using an
appropriate cable.

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, using an appropriate cable (see “Advanced connection example” in the technical
appendix).

Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)

What is the electronic programme guide:

The electronic programme guide (in the following section referred to as the EPG for short)
provides all programme information free of charge (EPG data) and informs you up to a week in
advance. However, this programme information must be broadcast by the related channel provider.
If no EPG data are available the receiver, instead of showing information on the current programme,
shows the message “No data available”.

EPG data update

The EPG data for the currently selected channel are updated automatically in the background while
you are watching a TV channel.

Where are the EPG data stored/saved?

The data are saved on the archive hard disk
Service/USB device management). These data are loaded after the receiver is started.
The full scope of the EPG is accessible only when the archive hard disk is connected and has been
set up.

The EPG data are not available immediately after fi rst installation. The EPG data
will only be updated when a channel is watched.

CAM – Conditional Access Module

Decryption decoder, which uses a smart card to
decrypt the encrypted radio and TV signals.

Channel package

The channel package for a digital transponder
normally includes several TV and radio channels.
Each channel package has a fi xed assignment
for the transponder transmission frequency,
for polarisation (horizontal or vertical), for the
symbol rate and for the Viterbi rate or error rate.

CI - Common Interface

Internationally standardised interface for CA
modules

DiSEqC™ components

If DiSEqC™ switching matrices are cascaded,
the master receiver must transmit the DiSEqC™
signal several times, so that all DiSEqC™ multi­switches in the cascade receive their commands.
These days, DiSEqC™ components (slaves)
must be downward compatible, i.e. respond to
the analogue switching criteria from receivers that
are only equipped with H/V and 22 kHz control
signals.
A DiSEqC™ switching matrix will work with
analogue switching criteria until the DiSEqC™
command from the master is received.
All analogue switching criteria are then ignored.

Dolby Digital 5.1

Dolby Digital is a sound transmission that allows
digital surround sound to be output on a home
cinema system.

DVB - Digital Video Broadcasting

DVB-S refers to the transmission method
(S = satellite, C = cable, T = terrestrial).

DVB-S2

An enhanced DVB-S signal for HDTV with better
quality.

Composite colour video signal

Data rate

Data bits transmitted per second. Is expressed
in kbit/s or Mbit/s. The higher the data rate the
better the quality of the transmitted signal.

Data reduction

Compression of video and audio signals.
Redundant information is discarded.

DiSEqC™

DiSEqC™ (Digital Satellite Equipment Control)
is a communication system between a satellite
receiver (master) and the peripheral satellite
components (slaves), such as LNBs, multi­switches, rotating antenna systems.
It is a single master/multi-slave system, i.e. there
is only ever one master in the satellite system.
All activities start from the master.

FEC

FEC is the abbreviation for Forward Error
Correction. A technique for reducing the error
rate of data transmission. Additional bits are
inserted into the data stream, so that error­correction algorithms can be used on reception.
The FEC error rate corresponds to the Viterbi
rate.

PAL

Analogue TV standard

Pay TV

Television channels available on subscription
(e.g. Sky). Encrypted transmitters which can
be decrypted only by using the appropriate
smart card. As a rule these services are
subscription-only.

PID

The PID (Packet IDentifi cation) number is an
identifi cation number for video signals and
audio signals in the digital data stream of
DVB-MPEG-2 signals. The receiver uses the PID
number to create a unique assignment for the
video and audio data transmission. The PCR-PID
is the identifi cation number for the synchronization
signal. The PID-PCR is normally identical
to the video PID. For programmes broadcast
in multiple languages, the audio PD can be
entered manually to assign a different language
to the TV programme. After the PID is entered,
the digital receiver automatically selects the
audio data identifi ed by the PID number from
the data stream and assigns it to the video signal.

PIN

Personal Identifi cation Number. For this unit
the PIN is a 4-digit numeric code which must be
entered to unlock the unit to allow access to
certain functions and channels.

Polarization

The individual transponders on satellites transmit
on two different (polarisation) planes (horizontal
and vertical). As a result the capacity of the
transponder is increased.

There is no limit on the variety of channels, i.e.
the complete range of channels from one or
two satellites is transmitted. Switching and the
transponder selection are undertaken in the
feed system or in the matrix and are controlled
by the receiver using a special DiSEqC™
command to EN 50494. Each receiver is allocated
a fi xed subscriber frequency over which it receives
its channels. A twin receiver requires two such
subscriber frequencies. The transponder selection
and conversion to the subscriber frequencies
is undertaken using special tuner modules, so­called SCR (Satellite Channel Router) that are
installed in the feed system or in the matrix.
The Kathrein single-cable system satisfi es
the single-cable standard in accordance with
EN 50494, i.e. all components of a single­cable system that satisfy this standard can be
installed in a satellite system

Transponder

A transponder is a frequency converter which
receives TV and radio signals broadcast from
the earth, converts them and the rebroadcasts
them to the earth at a different frequency.
A satellite has several transponders.
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV
channel and possibly multiple radio channels on
a single transmission frequency.
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit
several TV and several radio programmes on a
transmission frequency. If a channel provider is
broadcasting several TV channels via a digital
transponder, we refer to the provider's channel
package. The terms “digital transponder” and
“channel package” have the same meaning.
