Danger!

Warning!

Mains power cable

Make sure that the mains cable (power supply cable) is not damaged. Units with a damaged mains cable must be disconnected from the mains (unplug it at the socket) and repaired by an electrical specialist before setup. Only use the power supply unit supplied (if available)!

Mortal danger due to electric shock!

Cleaning

Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning the unit. 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!

Playing children

Make sure that children do not push any objects into the ventilation slots.

Mortal danger due to electric shock!

Earthing

The antenna system must be earthed as specif ed or equipotentially bonded. EN 60728/11 and any national regulations must be complied with.

Risk of voltage surges due to lightning strikes!

Power supply voltage

Only operate the unit at the speci f ed mains voltage (indicated on the rear of the unit or on the external power pack). The unit may only be connected to the mains and turned on once it has been connected to the antenna and to the TV set or the cable network and PC.

If the mains voltage is too high, there is a risk of ﬁ re!

Warning!

Do not

cover

Moisture, direct sunlight, heat, naked ﬂ ames

Protect the unit against moisture, dripping and splashed water (do not place any f 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 place naked f ames such as candles on top of the unit!

There is a risk of ﬁ re!

Batteries

If your unit was supplied with batteries (e.g. for the remote control), take care that the batteries are not exposed to excessively high temperatures, direct sunlight or f re. Replace the batteries only with types that are identical or equivalent, otherwise the batteries or the remote control may be damaged. Also comply with the safety instructions stated on the batteries:

There is a risk of explosions!

Ventilation

The heat generated in this unit is adequately dissipated. However , the unit should never be installed in a cupboard or on shelves with inadequate ventilation. Never cover the cooling slots on the unit (e.g. with other equipment, magazines, tablecloths, clothing or curtains)!

Safety instructions - important notes

Caution!

Do not place any objects on top of the unit. Unless stated to the contrary in the “Connection and setup” and “Installation” sections in the instructions 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 unobstructed dissipation of the heat generated.

There is a risk of ﬁ re!

Repair

Ensure that any repairs to your unit are carried out by qualif 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.

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.

Fan/ventilation slots on the unit

Make sure that the fan at the rear of the unit and the ventilation slots on the unit are not blocked or covered in any way. The unit may otherwise overheat. Adjust the fan speed to the temperature conditions in the receiver.

Warning!

Instructions on how to set the fan can be found in the section “Mainmenu”, “Settings”, “Basic Settings”, “Fan Control”.

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.

Other

The information in these operating instructions was correct at the time of going to print. W e reserve the right however to make changes at any time and without prior notice. If new software is released for your receiver, and this af fects the information in the operating instructions (e.g. changes to the menus and/or functions), and if we believe it necessary we will make new operating Instructions available for download on “www.kathrein.de”.

Make a note of the receiver's basic settings (these are set during f rst installation) so you can restore them if necessary!

Please be aware of your responsibility towards your fellow human beings. Keep these instructions for any questions that arise later, and if the receiver passes to another owner, pass them on to the new owner.

Gently press here and pull backwards

Connection and setup

Connecting the receiver

If you do not know the conﬁ guration of your satellite reception system, contact your specialist dealer.

Connect the Sat IF inputs on the receiver to the satellite reception system. Use coaxial cable with an F standard connector (see illustration on right).

Conventional DiSEqC™ system

Scart

HDMI

TV connection

Connect the satellite receiver (HDMI or alternatively TV Scart socket) and the TV set using a HDMI or Scart cable (see the connection example above).

Connection and setup

Audio connection

Digital

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). Refer to the operating instructions for your TV set for more information.

SPDIF Dolby Digital output (electrical/optical)

The SPDIF outputs are intended for the connection of a Dolby Digital system (see “Advanced connection example” in the technical appendix). Connect the SPDIF output (electrical or optical) to the Dolby Digital system using an appropriate cable.

Analogue

If you want to play the sound on your hi- f system, connect the audio cinch sockets to the input sockets on the hi- f system, using an appropriate cable (see “Advanced connection example” in the technical appendix).

Connecting up the video/DVD recorder

Connect the satellite receiver (VCR/AUX Scart socket) to the video recorder/DVR using a Scart cable. To play back a DVD, i.e. output the signal from the DVR through the receiver on the TV set, the TV set must also be connected to the receiver with a Scart cable. This is necessary because the video signal from the VCR Scart socket of the receiver is not looped through/forwarded to the HDMI output of the receiver.

Tip!

If you make a recording with an external video/DVD recorder, note the following:

- If the receiver is started automatically by means of a timer recording, there will be no image on your TV set or recorder. You will have to switch on the receiver manually using the Standby button (on/off) as well!

- If the receiver is operated while recording is in progress, all on-screen displays will be recorded as well!

SPDIF = Sony Philips Digital Interface Format (digital output for Dolby Digital AC 3 audio)

Connection and setup

Information about antenna connection and loop-through mode

To enable you to make full use of all the reception and recording features of your twin-DVR HDTV Sat receiver, such as

1. recording one programme while viewing any other programme or channel zapping, and

2. recording two different programmes at the same time,

the two tuner inputs of the satellite receiver must each be supplied with a dedicated satellite signal from the antenna system/Sat outlet (unless connected to a single-cable system).

The receiver tuner inputs are factory preset in the installation menu to work with two separate Sat antenna connections.

In cases where only one antenna connection is available (with the exception of single-cable systems), “Loopthrough” must be selected for “T uner 2 Connection type” in the “First Installation” settings (see the

section “First Installation”). Press the select “Settings” and “First Installation”. Go through step by step until you get to the tuner con f guration. You can def ne the settings here. Though a restriction on this is that with Tuner 2 you can only receive the additional channels of the plane currently set by Tuner 1 (e.g. Horizontal High). From this point on only the channels that can be selected are displayed in the channel list.

This will only work when receiving one satellite, not in multifeed reception! (Multifeed reception: simultaneous reception of several satellites)
