Preface
Preface
Dear Customer,
The following operating manual will help you obtain the best optimal use from the
extensive features of your new satellite receiver.
We have written this operating manual as comprehensibly as possible and as con-
cise as necessary. A brief lexicon containing specialised terms not easily translat-
able has been appended at the end of this manual. To further assist you in your
search for a specific term, we have also added an index.
We have taken the environment into account with the mains switch. Therefore,
during longer pauses separate your receiver from the mains, in order to save en-
ergy. During short pauses, you should switch the receiver to standby with the re-
mote control, so the least amount of energy is used.
We wish you a great reception and much enjoyment with your new satellite re-
ceiver.
Your,
KATHREIN-Team
If you have any unexpected problems with your receiver, please contact your spe-
cialist supplier through our hotline.
Tel: (08031) 18 47 00
Fax: (08031) 18 46 76
Important Notes:
With regard to the programme allocation of the satellites and transponders,
changes always occur. In such cases, it is necessary to carry out new pro-
gramme settings, although factory pre-programming is always in accordance with
the respective, newest developments.
You can gather the details for the new setting from teletext on SAT 1, the internet,
or respective magazines. Refer to the section "Changing frequency" for more in-
formation.
Your receiver has been equipped with the newest respective Software at the fac-
tory. We are always trying to adjust the Software to the desires of our customers
and the state-of-the-art technology. Refer to section "Software and programme
lists update," for more information.

Extended absence / thunderstorms
Always switch the unit off via its mains switch (at front left on unit) during periods of
extended absence or at the onset of thunderstorms. This also applies to any other
equipment that is connected to the receiver.
However, take into account any possible timer programming and switch the unit on
again in good time prior to the recording time.
Mains lead
Cleaning
Make certain that the mains lead (power supply lead) is undamaged. Never put the
unit into operation if the mains lead is damaged.
Withdraw the mains plug before cleaning the unit. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
Clean the surface only and nothing else.
On no account open the housing. There is a risk of electric shock if components
within the unit are touched.
Children-at-play
Repairs
Pay attention that children do not insert objects into the ventilation slots. There is a
risk of mortal danger due to electric shock.
If your receiver needs repairing or changes to settings, get qualified specialists to
carry this out. Unauthorised opening and attempts at repairs entail loss of guaran-
tee.
The unit’s electrical safety can be affected by improper tampering with it.
The manufacturer’s liability excludes accidents occurring to the user when the unit
is opened.
Connections
The unit may be rendered inoperative or not work properly if the connections are
not wired up properly.

Safety instructions
Important notes for siting and installation.
Place of installation
Every electronic device generates heat. The rise in temperature, however, lies
within a safe range. Slight colour changes may occur to sensitive furniture surfaces
and veneers over the course of time due to the constant effect of heat. In conjunc-
tion with treated furniture surfaces, the unit’s rubber feet can likewise give rise to
changes in colour. Where necessary, place the unit on a suitable pad.
Ventilation
The heat that is generated in this unit is dissipated quite adequately. Never install
the receiver in a cabinet, shelf or rack with inadequate ventilation. Never close off
the cooling slots on the unit.
Do not place objects on top of the unit. Maintain a clearance of at least 10 cm
above the unit so that the heat generated within the unit is conducted away without
obstruction.
Humidity, exposure to sunlight, heat
Protect the unit against humidity, drips and splashing.
Do not place the unit close to radiators nor expose it to direct sunlight.
Mains voltage
Grounding
Operate the receiver only from a 230V / 50 Hz mains voltage.
The unit must not be connected to the mains and switched on until after the con-
nections have been set up for the antenna and TV set.
The parabolic antenna is to be grounded in accordance with regulations. The rele-
vant local and/or German VDE regulations are to be complied with here.

Connection and start-up
Connection and start-up
The following section is specifically intended for the specialist dealer. You only
need to read this section if you are carrying out the installation yourself.
You will find sample configurations in the section "Connection examples".
First, carry out all installation work before connecting the receiver to the mains
power supply.
Refer to the information provided in the section "Safety instructions“.
To connect receiver
Sat IF connection
Connect the Sat-IF input of the receiver to the satellite receiving system (satellite
dish).
Use a coaxial cable with a standard F connector for this purpose.
If you need to fit the F-connector onto the cable,
Sꢀ strip the cable insulation as shown in the diagram (you will need to fold back
the braid) and
Sꢀ slide the F-connector onto the cable, then turn it clockwise until it locks.
When fitting the connector make sure that no wires of the shield braid make con-
tact with the inner conductor. This could otherwise cause a short-circuit.
The quality of the reception signal depends on a good connection!
Analogue and digital TV
In order to receive digital and analogue programmes, connect the IF OUTPUT
socket with the IF INPUT ANALOG on the rear panel of the receiver. Use the sup-
plied coax-bridge for the connection.
Make certain that your satellite antenna system transmits the lowband as well as
the highband for analogue and digital reception. Your single satellite antenna must
be equipped with at least one universal LNB for the digital reception.
Presetting receiving system
The control signals for conventional receiving systems (satellite dishes) are preset,
i.e. 14/18 V for polarisation changeover and 22 kHz switching signal for LOW/HIGH
band changeover on multifeed reception systems.
The presetting will need to be changed in the installation menu, menu point "DiS-
EqC" if UFO or tone burst switching matrices are used in the receiving system.
Refer to the section "Installation menu, DiSEqC menu“ for this purpose.
It is important that you observe the application information provided for the matrix
used.

Connection and start-up
LNB-supply voltage
If the feed system (LNB) is powered by an external supply voltage and the LNB
supply voltage is not used for switching over polarity (e.g. Kathrein feed system
UAS 330), the LNB supply of the receiver must be set to "OFF" (see section "In-
stallation menu, LNB configuration“).
TV and video recorder connection
Sꢀ Use a SCART cable to connect the satellite receiver (TV SCART) and TV set.
If your TV set is equipped for stereo output, you can receive the sound in stereo via
the SCART connection.
Sꢀ Also use a SCART cable to connect the satellite receiver (VCR/AUX SCART)
and the video recorder.
Audio connection
If you wish to reproduce the sound via a hi-fi system, connect a corresponding
Cinch cable from the audio Cinch sockets on the receiver to the input sockets on
your hi-fi system.
The digital output is designed to facilitate connection to a Dolby Digital System.
Inserting batteries in the remote control
Remove the cover on the battery compartment on the underside of the remote con-
trol.
Sꢀ ꢀInsert the two supplied batteries in the remote control. Ensure correct polarity
of the batteries, the + and – markings are indicated inside the battery com-
partment.
Sꢀ Slide the cover back into the casing and lock in position.
Used batteries are special waste! Therefore, do not throw batteries into the house-
hold waste but rather deposit them at a collection depot for old batteries!

First time installation
First time installation
The first steps
Connect the receiver to the mains power supply.
Switch on the receiver by pressing the power button at the front of the unit.
You will see "- - - -“ in the LED display, afterwards "0000."
The operation indicator LED lights up red, the receiver is now in standby mode.
Switch on your TV set.
Switch on the receiver by pressing the ꢂbutton on the remote control.
The yellow LED at the front end of the receiver flashes every time a button on the
remote control is pressed.
You will see the factory preset programme on your TV screen. An information bar
indicating the programme provider, the time, the timer settings, the programme
status and the programme title will be displayed in the bottom section of the screen
provided the corresponding data are transmitted. The number of the programme
memory appears in the LED display.
The red standby indicator extinguishes.
You can now receive the TV and radio programme preset at the factory and select
them by pressing the ꢄꢅꢀbuttons. Press the ꢎand ꢄꢅbuttons to
select radio programmes. Press the ꢎor ꢊbutton to return to TV programmes.
Refer to the section " Programme lists – TV/radio" for information on how to set up
and save other TV and radio programmes.
The reception status last set always reappears when the receiver is switched on.
If the message "bad or no signal" appears on the screen in addition to an on-
screen display indicating the programme last received, you will need to check the
system installation and/or the receiver settings. If this problem only applies to indi-
vidual programme slots, the problem may be due to an interruption in the transmis-
sion signal or a fault in the receiving system (cable or satellite system).
In this case, first check the connection configuration and then check whether the
basic settings of you receiver are correct for your system. In the case of doubt,
have a specialist do this for you.
Factory setting of receiver
Your receiver is pre-programmed to receive the ASTRA and HotBird satellites. You
will normally need to make no further settings. To receive both satellite systems or
other satellites you will require a multifeed arrangement with at least two LNBs in
front of the satellite dish if you are not connected to a communal or party system.
Please ask your provider.
Before you change the basic settings of your receiver, note down the settings in
the form provided at the end of this User's Guide. In doing so, you will be able to
restore the original settings at any time.

On screen displays
Important screen displays
The receiver functions are controlled by a microprocessor and extensive software.
The following explanations are intended to improve understanding of all proce-
dures and to minimise the risk of mistakes.
TV channel identifier
The channel identifier is displayed for
several seconds every time the channel is
changed or by pressing the ꢆbutton.
The I indicates that a channel is received
even if no picture can be seen (e.g.
radio). The film symbol indicates a TV channel with the selected programme shown
next to it and whether teletext is received. The current time, start time and end time
of the current programme are shown on the next line provided these data are
transmitted. The + in the third line stands for the programme selection from the
main programme list. If the favourite list is selected, you will see the "apple" symbol
at this point. This is followed by the set sound reproduction mode (depending on
the direction of the symbolised sound waves, mono left, mono right or stereo can
be set, the digit indicates the number of sound channels). The programme title is
shown in the box on the right.
Radio channel indicator
The identifier for the set radio channel has
the same configuration. A music note
appears in the upper right-hand corner
indicating a radio channel. Programme
times and text are displayed only if the
corresponding data are transmitted with
the signal.
Error message
"Bad or no signal" indicates that there is a
fault in the reception system or in the re-
ceiver settings or the transponder is not
transmitting. Instead of the I the channel
identifier shows a satellite antenna together
with the message "bad or no signal". Check
the SAT-IF connection and the LNB
configuration. As an aid, refer to the list of
service settings provided at the end of this User's Guide.

provided these data are transmitted
together with the signal.
By pressing the ꢆbutton, you can exit this information box permanently displayed
or switch it off by pressing the button once again.
A further option of selecting a different
programme is to press the ꢉbutton.
The radio programme list is now
displayed. In the left column, it will
provide information relating to the
received satellites, the transponder and
its transmission frequency, the
polarisation, the symbol rate and the
scrambling. The programme number, the
programme broadcaster and the type of
reception signal (free to-air/scrambled) is
shown on the right.
By pressing the ꢄꢅbuttons you jump to the next programme and by press-
ing the ꢇ buttons you jump to the neighbouring page or enter-in the channel
number with the buttons on the remote control.

Selecting a radio programme by number entry
You can select a different radio programme during a current radio programme by
entering the programme location number. Use the number buttons ꢑto ꢒꢀfor
the purpose of entering the programme location number.
Example
You wish to select the radio programme "DLR-Berlin". This programme is stored
under the programme location number 015. (The order of radio programmes is de-
fined in the programme memory and therefore only serves as an example here.)
To select this programme, press the numbers ꢑand ꢓone after the other. The
receiver waits for about 3 seconds for entry of the next number.
Follow the same procedure for all other programmes – i.e. also programmes with
three-digit programme location numbers. You do not have to enter leading zeros.

LNB configuration
The first submenu is the "LNB
configuration". Press ꢆ to open this
menu. Normally, you should not make
any changes in this submenu. Before
making any changes, however, you
should make a note of the settings in the
form provided at the end of this User's
Guide.
Your receiver is set at the factory to the
satellites of the ASTRA and HotBird sys-
tems.
The other basic settings are shown in the illustration above.
Oscillator frequency L.O.
Satellite receiver systems consist of the parabolic antenna (satellite dish) with the
actual receiving system mounted in front of it (LNB – Low Noise Block Converter or
LNC - Low Noise Converter) which converts the RF signals of the satellite to a
lower frequency so it can be processed by a satellite receiver.
The satellite transmission frequencies are within the following ranges:
10,7…11,7 GHz
11,7…12,75 GHz
Low-band ( Low-band / analogue transmission)
High-band (High-band / digital transmission) (valid
for ASTRA satellites at 19,2° E)
The reception frequency of the receiver, however, is in the range from 950 to 2150
MHz. The high frequencies are therefore stepped down with the aid of the oscillator
frequency (LO frequency / LO = Local Oscillator of the LNB) to a lower frequency.
Various oscillator frequencies are used for this purpose depending on the satellite
frequency range and the type of system.
For ASTRA and Eutelsat receiver systems, this frequency is normally 9.75 GHz
(9750 MHz) for the lower frequency range (low-band) and 10.6 GHz (10600 MHz)
for the upper frequency (high-band). Older receiver systems still operate in the low-
band range with a 10 GHz oscillator frequency.
The receiver generates its required frequency by subtracting the oscillator fre-
quency from the satellite transmission frequency stored for each channel. You only
need to set the oscillator frequencies that your receiver system actually uses.
Therefore, before changing the LO frequency make sure that this is at all neces-
sary.
The oscillator frequencies shown at the top of the picture are factory settings.

Changing the oscillator frequency
Move over to the right-hand side in the LNB configuration menu by pressing ꢆ
and the setting for LO High will be highlighted in colour. Using the number buttons,
you can now enter a frequency matching your system. The same also applies for
the LO Low setting. Press the ꢄꢅ buttons to go to this setting.
Press the ꢈ 4 times to exit the menu. At the same time, the receiver will confirm
that the values have been saved.
If a setting is incorrect, you will see the following message on the screen
Bad or no signal
Operation
Standby
Factory setting "ON".
Normally, the supply voltage should always be switched on.
For communal or party systems, you must check whether the supply voltage must
be switched off!
Under this menu point the supply voltage for the LNB in receiver standby mode can
be switched on and off. It can be switched off for individual and communal sys-
tems. The factory setting is "OFF".
Receiving two satellites
If your receiver is connected to a multifeed antenna which is also aligned with the
HotBird satellites for instance, you will need to change the receiver settings for the
DiSEqC signal. The same, of course, also applies to other satellites. (DiSEqC =
Digital Satellite Equipment Control).
Different control signals are required for the purpose of selecting the satellite sig-
nals. To date, the LNB supply voltages 14/18 V and the 22 kHz signal (superim-
posed on the LNB supply voltage) have been sufficient for signal selection in the
majority of applications. With these four switching signals it is possible to switch be-
tween horizontally and vertically polarised signals as well as between satellites
(multifeed reception).
However, additional control signals are now required for LNB activation and signal
selection in view of the expansion of the frequency range to 12 GHz (high-band
range) and for receiving more than two satellites.
The "DiSEqC" control signal is responsible for this task. This signal represents a
special modulation of the already existing 22 kHz signal.

The switching criteria and the input assignments of the DiSEqC switching matrix
must be maintained. Therefore, refer to the description of the switching matrices or
contact the installer of the receiving system.
DiSEqC Repeat
The DiSEqC command must be repeated if the receiver is operated (cascaded) to-
gether with a receiving system with two or more series connected DiSEqC switch-
ing matrices.
In this case, switch the menu point "DiSEqC repeat" to 1 or 2.
Factory preset: OFF
UFO mini
The input frequency of the receiver is fixed in a "user-controlled processing sys-
tem". The signals from the "user-controlled processing system" are transmitted on
this frequency. The reception parameters for programme selection are transferred
to the receiving system by means of a DiSEqC command and set accordingly.
The relevant setting that needs to be selected depends on the type of "user- con-
trolled processing system".
The setting should be made according to the data provided in the installation in-
structions for the "user-controlled processing system".
Remote frequency
If you have set the UFO mini menu point to ON, you will need to set the transmis-
sion frequency under this menu point.
Refer to the installation instructions of the "user-controlled processing system" for
the set transmission frequency.
It is therefore important that you refer to the information provided in the installation
instructions of the "user-controlled processing system".
UFO micro
The setting under this menu point is also designed for operation of the receiver to-
gether with a processing system.
Control and communication between the receiver and the Kathrein UFO micro sys-
tem takes place on the return of the coaxial cable.
ON must be set under the UFO micro menu point if the receiver is operated to-
gether with a UFO micro receiving system.
During installation, the receiving system then assigns a special address to the re-
ceiver so that the control instructions that are sent from the receiver to the receiv-
ing system for signal selection are also recognised by this system.

Data transfer from receiver to receiver
Data transfer from receiver to receiver
Your receiver is able to accept data from another receiver via the RS232C socket.
For this purpose, the two receivers are mutually connected via a zero modem ca-
ble. The transmitting receiver is the master, the receiving receiver the slave.
Preparation
The master and slave are first switched to standby mode and then disconnected
from the mains by pressing the power switch.
The data sockets (Item 6, rear of receiver, Page 8) of both receivers are connected
with the zero modem cable.
The master is then switched on again.
Transferring programme lists
Simultaneously press the ꢀbutton (arrow left) and SELECT under the front panel
of the master to transfer the programme list.
The slave can now be switched on. The transfer procedure begins.
While loading, the display of the master shows "t001 t002 .. t00n“ while the slave
correspondingly shows "r001 r002..r00n“.
The LED display shows "----" during block transfer.
The loading procedure was successful if both receivers show the message "Succ."
Transferring operating software
Follow the same procedure as described above for the purpose of transferring op-
erating software.
Start transfer of the operating software by simultaneously pressing the button
(arrow right) and SELECT under the front panel of the master.
While loading, the display of the master shows "t001 t002 .. t00n“ while the slave
correspondingly shows "r001 r002..r00n“.
The LED display shows "----" during block transfer.
The loading procedure was successful if both receivers show the message "Succ.".
Should transfer problems occur, "F * * *" will appear in the master display where *
stands for a numerical value. In this case, check the cable connection and start a
new transfer attempt.
The data transfer from receiver to receiver as described above must only be car-
ried out with devices of the same type as otherwise malfunctions or total loss of the
operating software may occur.
On no account must the receivers be switched off or the connection interrupted
during data transfer. This may otherwise result in data loss, malfunctions or total
failure of the operating system.
In all cases wait until the "Succ." or "F * * *“ message appears on the display.

Connection of the DVB-S receiver to a TV set, a VCR and a hi-fi system for receiv-
ing and recording digital satellite TV and radio channels. The digital sound output
can be connected to a Dolby Digital system.
The connection requires two SCART cables and one Cinch cable. If your TV is
equipped for stereo, the stereo sound can also be reproduced via the stereo
speakers of your TV set.
The UHF/VHF input of the TV set is connected via the UHF/VHF output and input
sockets of the video recorder to the UHF/VHF output of the Sat socket. This con-
nection makes it possible to receive terrestrial regional TV channels with the an-
tenna system correspondingly aligned.
By connecting the antenna input socket of the hi-fi system to the radio output of the
Sat socket you can receive terrestrial radio stations.

The DiSEqC switching matrix EXR 904 allows the connection of 4 subscribers.
Connection of the DVB-S receiver to a television set, a VCR and a Hi-fi system for
reception and recording of digital satellite TV and radio.
The UHF/VHF- television input is connected via the UHF/VHF output of the satel-
lite end socket ESD 30. This connection allows the reception of terrestrial transmit-
ted TV programmes.
By connecting the antenna input socket of the hi-fi system to the radio output of the
Sat socket ESD 30, you can receive terrestrial radio stations.

AC3
Audio coding MPEG 2/layer 3 - The scrambled digital sound signal for Dolby Digi-
tal. It transmits 5 sound channels and one reduced sound channel for the sub-
woofer.
DiSEqC
DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a communication system between
the Sat receiver (master) and the peripheral Sat components (slaves), such as
LNBs, multi-switch, motorised antenna systems.
This is a single master/multi-slave system, i.e. there is always only one master in
the Sat system. All activities emanate from the master.
DiSEqC components
When DiSEqC switchover matrices are cascaded, the master receiver must send
out the DiSEqC signal several times so that all DiSEqC multi-switches in the cas-
cade receive their commands.
Nowadays, DiSEqC components (slaves) must be retrocompatible, i.e. they must
also respond to the analogue switching criteria of receivers which are only
equipped with the control signals H/V and 22 kHz.
A DiSEqC switchover matrix operates with analogue switching criteria until the
DiSEqC command is received from the master. All analogue switching criteria are
then ignored.
DVB MPEG-2
DVB is the abbreviation for digital video broadcasting. DVB-S refers to the type of
transmission (S=satellite). MPEG is the abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts
Group, a working group which draws up internationally valid standards for the digi-
tal compression of video together with audio. MPEG-2 has been promoted to the
standard for the compression of digital TV signals. MPEG-2 operates at a data rate
of up to 100 MBit/s.
Eb/No ratio
The Eb/No ratio is a measure for the signal-to-noise ratio of the digital signal. This
value is not identical to the C/N value as known from analogue reception technol-
ogy. As a rule, reception is no longer possible at Eb/No levels below 5 dB.
FEC
PID
FEC is the abbreviation for Forward Error Correction. The FEC error rate corre-
sponds to the viterbirate.
The PID number (Package Identification) is an identification number for video sig-
nals and audio signals in the digital data stream of DVB MPEG-2 signals. The re-
ceiver uses the PID number to establish distinct allocation of the video and audio
data transmission. PID-PCR is the identification number for the synchronisation
signal. PID-PCR is normally identical to PID video. In the case of multi-language
channel transmissions, by means of manual entry of the audio PID, it is possible to
allocate another language to the TV broadcast. After entering the PID, the digital
receiver automatically selects audio data from the data stream identified by the PID
number and allocates these data to the video signal.
Programme package
The programme package of a digital transponder mostly contains several TV and
radio channels. Each channel package has a fixed allocation with regard to the
transponder transmit frequency, the polarisation (horizontal or vertical), the symbol
rate and the viterbirate or error rate.

Short technical lexicon
Symbol rate
The symbol rate describes the amount of data transmitted per second. The symbol
rate is measured in MSymbols/s and is equal to the number of symbols that are re-
ceived per second.
Transponder
A transponder is a satellite transmitter which transmits TV and radio signals. A
satellite has several transponders.
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV channel and possibly several radio
channels on their transmit frequencies.
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and several radio chan-
nels on their transmit frequencies. When a channel provider broadcasts several TV
channels via a digital transponder this is referred to as the channel package of the
channel provider. The terms "digital transponder" and "channel package" therefore
have the same meaning.
Video bit rate
Viterbirate
The video bit rate describes the quantity of data of the digitised video signal that is
transmitted per second.
The viterbirate (code rate, error rate) characterises the type of error protection used
by the channel provider. The DVB standard stipulates the following values: 1/2 -2/
3 - 3/4 - 4/5 - 5/6 6/7 - 7/8.
