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
Important
Repairs
Ensure that any repairs to your unit are carried out by qualifi ed personnel. Opening the unit and attempting to repair it yourself will void all warranty claims! Improper work on the unit may jeopardise the electrical safety of the unit.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for accidents caused by the user opening the casing of the unit!
Connections
Incorrect wiring of the connections can lead to malfunctions or defects on the unit!
Periods of extended absence, thunderstorms, mains socket accessibility
In order to disconnect the unit from the mains completely, the mains plug must be unplugged from the wall socket! Therefore install the unit close to a mains socket and make sure that socket is accessible at all times, so that you can disconnect the unit from the mains if necessary. If you are away for an extended period, and during thunderstorms, always switch the unit off at the mains and unplug it from the socket. This also applies to the other equipment connected to the unit. Isolation from the cable network is also recommended. Note any timer programming (receiver) and turn the unit on again promptly before the recording time.
Installation location
All electronic equipment generates heat, However, the heating of this unit lies within the permissible range. Sensitive furniture surfaces and veneers may become discoloured by the effects of constant heat over time. The feet of the unit can also cause colour changes to treated furniture surfaces. If necessary, place the unit on a suitable stable and fl at base!

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!
