Preface
Dear customer,
this operating manual are intended to help you make the fullest use of the extensive range of functions
offered by your new 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 on/off 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 hope your reception will always be brilliant and you will enjoy using your new HDTV receiver.
Your
KATHREIN team

Software changes/use of applications
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).

perform the functions usual for the device/product. A shortcoming that causes only an insignifi cant reduction
in quality does not rank as a defect. Functional shortcomings in the software or program that result from
hardware defects, ambient conditions, incorrect operation or the like do not rank as software defects.

Risk of fatal injury due to electric
shock!
Cleaning
Disconnect the mains plug before
cleaning the unit. Only use a dry cloth
for cleaning and only clean the outer
surface. Never open the casing of the
unit.
Touching the parts inside the unit
carries a risk of death due to electric
shock!

If the mains voltage is too high, there
is a risk of fi re!
Moisture, direct sunlight, heat,
naked fl ames
Protect the unit against moisture,
dripping and splashed water (do
not place any fi lled objects such
as vases on top of the unit). Do not
place the unit close to a heater or
expose it to direct sunlight and do
not operate it in damp locations. Only
use the unit in a moderate climate,
not in tropical conditions! Do not

temperatures, direct sunshine or
fi re. Exchange the batteries only
with types that are identical or
equivalent. Otherwise the batteries
and also the remote control may be
damaged. Also comply with the safety
instructions stated on the batteries:
There is a risk of explosion!

Safety Instructions - Important Notes
Caution!
Do not place any objects on top of
the unit. Unless stated to the contrary
in the “Connection and set-up” and
“Installation” sections in the manual
supplied, maintain a clearance of at
least 10 cm above the unit, 2 cm to
either side and 5 cm behind the unit,
to allow the unobstructed dissipation
of the heat generated.
There is a risk of fi re!
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 this 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. The temperature rise of this
unit does however lie 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!
Electronic equipment is not domestic
waste - it must be disposed of
properly in accordance with directive
2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL
dated 27
used electrical and electronic
appliances.
At the end of its service life, take
this device to a designated public
collection point for disposal.
Spent batteries are special waste!
Do not throw spent batteries into
your domestic waste; take them to a
collection point for spent batteries!

Safety Instructions - Important Notes
Product return/original packaging
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.
Ventilation slots on the unit
Make sure that the ventilation slots on the unit are not blocked or covered in any way.
otherwise the unit may overheat.
Warning!
There is a risk of fi re!
Switching the receiver off
Before you disconnect the receiver from the mains, you must switch it to the standby mode by pressing
the standby button (on/off) on the remote control. In standby mode, any changed or new data that
are broadcast will be saved by the receiver. As soon as the receiver is in the standby mode, it can be
disconnected from the mains at any time.
You must not disconnect the receiver from the mains while it is in operation!
This can lead to a loss of data and corruption of the software.
Channel assignment
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 pre-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.
Updating the receiver software
Your receiver was equipped in the factory with the latest software version available 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”, “Update Firmware”.

Safety Instructions - Important Notes
Network function
To connect the receiver to the network via the PC/laptop, you must have unrestricted rights (administrator
rights) for your PC/laptop and on your network. For this refer to the chapter “Main Menu”, “Interfaces”,
“Network Settings”.
Power consumption in standby mode < 0.5 W
The standby power consumption of < 0.5 W printed on the receiver packaging will only be achieved when
the receiver is in standby mode with the display switched off. You can defi ne this setting in the following
menu: “Main menu”, “Settings”, “User-Defi ned Settings”, “Customize Screen Menu”, “Front display
in standby” → Setting “Off”.
Miscellaneous
The information in this operating manual was correct at the time of going to print. 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 instructions (e.g. changes to the menus and/or
functions), if we believe it necessary we will make available new operating instructions for download at
“www.kathrein.de”.
Make a note of the receiver's basic settings (these are set during the fi rst installation), so you can restore
them if necessary!
Please be aware of your responsibility towards your fellow human beings! Keep this manual
for any questions that arise later, and if the receiver passes to another owner, pass it on to the
new owner.
For compliance with the EMC Directives, the USB connection cable between the receiver and hard disk
must not be longer than 50 cm.
Please see the UFS 913 Operating manual – Part 1, “Connection and set-up” for details on how to
connect the receiver and carry out fi rst installation.
The following description of the menus and functions assumes that the UFS 913 has been correctly
connected and installed (as detailed in the operating instructions part 1 “Connection and set-up”).
