Operating Manual
DVB-T-Receiver
UFT 571 (silver/
black)
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 DVB-T 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.
You have chosen DVB-T, a TV standard which, even in combination
with an adapted indoor antenna such as Kathrein‘s BZD-series, will
provide you with optimum reception, with no ghosting or any of the
other disadvantages of conventional TV viewing.
The power switch is an environmentally friendly feature. If you will not
be watching the television for a longer period, you should therefore
disconnect your equipment from the power supply to save energy. For
shorter breaks, you can switch the equipment to stand-by on the remote
control, which uses only a minimal amount of energy.
We wish you good reception and much pleasure using your new DVB-T
receiver.
Your
KATHREIN Team

The channels available are subject to continual change. This means
the channel presets have to 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.
Our equipment is factory fi tted with the most recent software version.
We are constantly working on adapting the software to the wishes of
our customers and to developments in technology. The “Managing
Channels” section provides more information on this.

time.
Installation location
Every piece of 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 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.
Ventilation
The heat occurring in this unit is adequately dissipated. Nevertheless, you should never install the unit in a
cupboard or on shelves with inadequate ventilation. Never cover the cooling slots on the unit (e.g. with other
equipment,magazines, tablecloths or curtains)!
No not place any objects on top of the unit and maintain at least 10 cm of free space above the unit so that
the resulting heat can be dissipated with no obstructions.
Moisture, sunlight, heat
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 the heating or expose it to direct sunlight and do not operate
it in damp locations. Use the unit only in a temperate climate, not in tropical conditions.

Connection and Setup
This section is intended specifi cally for specialist dealers. You only need
to refer to it if you are carrying out the installation yourself.
The “Connection Example” section provides a sample confi guration.
Do not connect the unit to the mains until all installation work has been
properly carried out. Refer to the information in the “Safety instructions”
section.
Antenna Connection
DVB-T TV was developed to enable you to receive a good quality TV
picture anywhere, provided the signal is strong enough.
Connect the receiver either to your conventional stand-alone or
community antenna through which you receive all VHF/UHF signals, or
use an antenna developed for DVB-T (such as the BZD 30 or BZD 40
from Kathrein) for direct reception in residential areas (BZD 30).
DVB-T TV cannot work miracles however; you must be receiving a good
quality signal. You may encounter problems in concrete buildings if you
are using only an indoor antenna.
If you are using (or have to use) an active antenna - that is, an antenna
with a pre-amplifi er, you can power it from the receiver‘s antenna input.
The default setting in the receiver is “OFF”, to prevent any damage from
occurring. Be sure to use an antenna tuned to a 5 Volt supply (such as
the BZD 30 from Kathrein).
TV Connection
Connect the UFT 571 (TV Scart socket) and the TV set by a Scart
cable. If your TV has a stereo capability, you can receive the sound in
stereo via the Scart connection.
Audio Connection
Dolby Connection
IR Receiver (Accessory)
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 with an appropriate
cable.
The Dolby Digital data stream output (AC 3) is intended for connection
to a Dolby Digital system.
The infrared receiver allows you to place the unit in a concealed
location.
Connect the infrared receiver to the “IR REMOTE IN” socket and
position it such that it has a visual connection to the remote control.

Connection and Setup
Inserting Batteries in the Remote Control
Remove the cover on the rear of the remote control. Insert the two
batteries supplied into the remote control, ensuring correct polarity
- this is shown on the base of the battery compartment.
Slide the cover back onto the housing until it locks in place.
Used batteries are special waste. Do not throw used batteries into your
household 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 of 27th January 2003 on used 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.

Initial Setup
Important Information
Getting Started
Before using the receiver for the fi rst time, make sure that it has been
assembled, installed and connected properly, as described in the
“Connection and Setup” section and in accordance with the safety
instructions.
• Switch on the TV set
• Select the AV channel location for your receiver connection
(only necessary on older TV sets)
• Now connect the receiver to the socket outlet
• Press the power-on button on the receiver
• Switch on the receiver with one of the number buttons
The following display appears (see screenshot at left):
Press the button to view the signal strength and reception quality in
bar format (see second screenshot at left). This can help you to align the
antenna optimally prior to scanning. The scale value for the signal strength
and reception quality is also shown on the 7-segment display (toggle with
buttons). First use the buttons to select a channel on which
%
you are already receiving a signal. Align the antenna to obtain the best
readings on the signal strength and reception bars.
The “E.” or “F. ” on the 7-segment display indicates that the tuner has
locked on and a digital signal is being received - this enables you to tune
in an antenna when in an exposed location using just the 7-segment
display - that is, without using a TV set‘s on-screen display.
The channels can also be selected using the channel switching buttons
on the unit‘s front panel during antenna alignment. The current channel
number is displayed for about three seconds, then the readout switches
back to “E” or “F”.
