Safety instructions  
Sicherheitshinweise  
The following section contains important information relating to operation, place of  
installation and connecting-up of the receiver.  
Read these notes carefully before putting the unit into operation.  
Important notes regarding operation  
Extended absence / Thunderstorms  
Always switch the unit off via its mains switch during periods of extended absence  
or at the onset of thunderstorms. This also applies to any other equipment atta-  
ched.  
However, take account of any possible timer programming, and switch the unit on  
again in good time prior to the recording time.  
Mains lead  
Make certain that the mains lead (power supply lead) is undamaged. Never put the  
unit into operation if the mains lead is damaged.  
Cleaning  
Withdraw the mains plug before cleaning the unit. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.  
Children-at-play  
Pay attention that children do not insert objects into the ventilation slots. There is a  
risk of mortal danger due to electric shock.  
Repairs  
On no account remove the housing cover since there are dangerous voltages in-  
side the unit that may be contacted. The unit must only be opened by qualified  
specialists, so allow them to carry out any repairs or adjustments to your receiver.  
Unauthorised opening entails loss of guarantee.  
The electrical safety of the unit can be affected by improper tampering with it.  
The manufacturer‘s liability excludes accidents occurring to the user when the unit  
is opened.

Safety instructions  
Important notes for siting and installation  
Place of installation  
Every electronic device generates some heat. The rise in temperature, however,  
lies within safe limits. Nevertheless, this does not rule out the possibility of slight  
colour changes to sensitive furniture surfaces and veneers over time due to the  
constant effect of heat.  
In conjunction 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 openings on the unit that are intended for heat dissipation.  
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 convected away without  
obstruction.  
Mains voltage  
Run the receiver only from a mains voltage of 230V / 50Hz.  
The unit is not to be connected to the mains until after all the installation work has  
been completed.  
Humidity  
Protect the unit against humidity, drips and splashes.  
Solar radiation/heat  
Grounding  
Do not place the receiver close to radiators nor expose it to direct sunlight.  
The parabolic antenna is to be grounded in accordance with regulations. Here, the  
relevant German VDE regulations (or equivalent) are to be observed.  
LNB supply voltage  
If the feeder system (LNB) is supplied with an external supply voltage and the LNB  
supply voltage is not used for polarity switchover (e.g. Kathrein single-cable feeder  
system UAS 330), the receiver‘s LNB supply must be set to “OFF“ (refer to section:  
“Initial settings, LNB supply voltage“).  
There is a risk that the receiver may suffer damage if the change-over is not carried  
out..

Connecting up and putting into operation  
Anschluß und Inbetriebnahme  
The following section is intended specifically for the specialist dealer. If you are not  
carrying out the installation yourself, there is no need to pay any attention to this  
section. A sample configuration is to be found in section: “Connection examples“.  
Attention  
Do not connect the unit to the mains until after the installation work has been car-  
ried out properly.  
Please note the guidance given in section: “Safety- and Installation Instructions“  
Connecting up the unit  
Satellite signal connection  
Connect up both the receiver‘s Sat IF inputs (for tuner A (5) and tuner B (10)) to  
the satellite receiving system.  
For the connection use a coaxial cable with an F-type connecting plug.  
If the F connectors are not yet fitted to the cables:  
Insulate the cable as indicated in the following illustration, and  
Carefully screw the F connectors onto the cable ends until they are firmly  
seated on the cables.  
Attention  
When fitting the plug, make certain that none of the fine wires of the braided shield  
makes contact with the inner conductor giving rise to a short-circuit.  
Receiving system presets  
Presetting carried out for the control signals was for conventional receiving sys-  
tems, thus 14/18 V for polarity switching and 22 kHz switching signal for satellite  
selection in the case of multifeed receiving systems.  
If DiSEqC or tone-burst switching matrices are to be used in the receiving system,  
the default setting must be changed in the initial setup menu at menu entry  
“DiSEqC“.  
For this, refer to section: “Initial settings, DiSEqC menu“.  
Also comply with the technical guide for the matrices.  
TV and video recorder connection (VCR)  
Connect up the satellite receiver (TV Scart socket) and TV set with a Scart ca-  
ble.  
If your TV set has stereo capability, a Scart connection allows you to receive the  
sound in stereo.  
Connect-up the video recorder and satellite receiver (VCR Scart socket) again  
using a Scart cable.

Connecting up and putting into operation  
UHF connection  
If your TV set does not have a Scart socket, the connection to the TV set is made  
via a coaxial cable.  
In this case, pull out the coaxial cable from the antenna input of the video re-  
corder and connect it to the satellite receiver‘s terrestrial antenna input (view of  
rear panel, 3).  
Using an additional coaxial cable, connect-up from the satellite receiver‘s TV  
socket (view of rear panel, 4) to the video recorder, and from there to the TV  
set.  
Audio connection  
If you want to hear the sound via the hi-fi system, connect the audio Cinch sockets  
(view of rear panel, 6) and the hi-fi system with a Cinch cable.  
Decoder connection  
You can also connect-up a decoder to the receiver for Pay-TV programmes.  
With decoders that require a video signal and supply a switching signal, such as  
Premiere decoders, for example, the decoded signal is available at the TV Scart  
socket without further adjustment. This decoded signal is not available at the  
VCR Scart socket.  
In order that the decoded programme may also be recorded via the video recorder,  
the signal path must be switched to external.  
Note  
For setting of “Decoder signal path“ see chapter “Programming TV programmes“  
section: “The video menu – Decoder menu“  
Important  
On connecting decoders, in general set the video signal path for the corresponding  
programme slots to “External“.  
Also comply with the decoder‘s instructions!  
Connect up the decoder to the decoder Scart socket with a Scart cable.  
Mains connection  
Now connect the receiver to the mains supply using the mains cable supplied for  
this purpose.  
Inserting batteries into remote control handset  
Remove the cover on the rear of the remote control handset.  
Insert both of the batteries supplied into the remote control handset.  
Make certain that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity  
The polarity is marked at the bottom of the battery compartment.  
Replace the cover again.  
Note  
Exhausted batteries are special waste and should not be disposed of with house-  
hold refuse. Instead, hand them in to a collection centre for used batteries!

Connecting up and putting into operation  
Tuning UHF channel / Checking operation  
Switch on the satellite receiver via the on/off switch on the front of the unit. The  
LED display on the unit shows the last programme slot that was selected.  
Turn on your TV set.  
On the TV set tune in channel 38 to an empty programme slot (receiver‘s de-  
fault channel).  
Also take note of instructions in TV set‘s operating manual!  
Note  
If channel 38 is occupied by a terrestrially broadcast programme or the video re-  
corder, adjust your TV set to a spare UHF channel in the range 21 to 69.  
To avoid interference, when setting the UHF output channel try to ensure that  
there is at least one free channel above and below the channel.  
For tuning of UHF output channel at the satellite receiver refer to "Modulator" in  
section: "Initial setting".  
You can now receive the factory-preset TV and radio programmes. To find out how  
to tune in additional TV and radio programmes, refer to sections: “Programming TV  
programmes“ and “Programming radio programmes“.  
External infrared sensor  
If the receiver is to be operated from a location that cannot be reached using the  
remote control handset, (with attachment of a further stereo system in another  
room, for example), the URS 200 external infrared sensor can be connected up via  
the data copy I/O connection (Western modular 8-pole). You can then also control  
the receiver from the other room.  
Important  
All figures in this manual refer to the on-screen display in German. How to  
select the OSD in English is described on pages 24 and 25.

Receiver operation  
Bedienung des Receivers  
In this chapter, you learn how to select both TV and radio programmes using your  
receiver, how to adjust the volume, programme the timer and set up the other func-  
tions.  
Twin-receiver fundamentals  
With its two tuners, the twin receiver allows you to operate the TV set and video re-  
corder simultaneously with different programmes.  
The twin receiver is equipped with two 4-character LED displays that allow you to  
operate the unit with its many options without any difficulty. While the right-hand  
LED display shows you the programme slot selected for the TV set (tuner A), the  
left-hand display is assigned to the VCR Scart socket (tuner B) for the video re-  
corder. However, a prerequisite is that both Sat inputs are connected up to the sat-  
ellite receiving system.  
Switching the unit on  
Switch the unit on via the mains switch  
on the unit. The last programme slot  
selected appears (TV or radio) or else it switches into standby if the unit had been  
switched into standby prior to the last switch-off.  
In standby mode a horizontal line appears in the LED display “ “.

On switching on via the mains switch, the resulting operating state is always the  
same as it was prior to switch-off.  
Tuner selection  
A switchover between tuner A (right-hand display “TV“) and tuner B (left-hand dis-  
play “VCR“) can be made with the  
key.  
The tuner currently being controlled by the remote control is shown on the OSD  
(On Screen Display) by a white field after the programme slot indication. In the LED  
display a dot appears after the P or r.

Use the  
keys to step through the programmes in succession.  
After the programme changeover, the programme slot and programme name are  
superimposed on the screen for approximately three seconds.  
Note  
With the setting “2- or 3-digit programme selection“ there is a switch to the desired  
programme after approximately 3 seconds. Further digits can be entered during  
this time.  
With the setting “free entry“ (in the above example) the receiver switches to the  
corresponding programme slot immediately after each input.  
Adjusting volume, balance and tone  
The unit is in normal mode (TV or radio mode).  
Use the (volume) keys to adjust the volume to the desired level.  
The volume is adjustable in 21 steps. The volume level set appears on the LED  
display for approximately 3 seconds. At the same time a bar indicator appears on  
the screen.  
Note  
The settings are not operative on the VCR Scart socket in order not to disturb any  
recordings..  
The on-screen display is removed again after approximately 3 seconds..  
Whilst the menu for volume adjustment is overlaid, the  
key can be used to acti-  
vate the following menu for balance adjustment, tone adjustment, stereo width and  
pseudo-stereo.  
Using the  
keys or the

Sound channel 1 Sound channel 2 Stereo.  
The selected channel is shown on the screen and in the LED display. The setting is  
not saved. After a change in programme the original setting takes effect again.  
SAT/TV changeover  
Where the satellite receiver and TV set are connected via a Scart cable, many  
older TV sets immediately switchover signal input (on the Scart socket) to video re-  
ception when the satellite receiver is turned on. The switching voltage of the TV  
Scart socket therefore needs to be switched off if you want to view a terrestrially  
broadcast TV programme..  
Press the  
key.  
The switching voltage on pin 8 of the TV Scart socket is turned off, and it is turned  
on again by pressing once more.  
In TV mode, “TV mode“ is displayed on the screen, the programme slot indicator in  
the LED display begins with “T...“.

Programming TV programmes  
Programmieren von TV-Programmen  
The satellite receiver has already been factory pre-programmed for satellite re-  
ceiving systems with feed systems (receiving system) which have an oscillator fre-  
quency of 9.75 GHz. All of the programmes set up are listed in the table enclosed.  
If your satellite receiving system uses a feed system with a different oscillator fre-  
quency, the receiver only needs to be matched to the feed system oscillator fre-  
quency during the installation.  
The procedure for this can be found in section: “Initial settings, Oscillator fre-  
quency“.  
Note on programme memory locations  
The receiver has a 250 channel memory that can be assigned with TV or radio  
programmes in any given manner.  
The receiver has been factory pre-programmed according to the programme table  
with:  
150 TV programmes and  
100 radio programmes.  
Programme memory is organised here so that the TV programmes are located in  
programme slots from 1 upwards while the radio programmes are located in pro-  
grammes slots from 250 downwards. See also the following display:  
Since only one sound programme (TV accompanying sound or a radio programme)  
can be stored in a programme memory, with the factory presetting:  
in “TV mode“,  
on reception of TV programmes in programme slots 151 to 250 the original TV  
sound is not sent but instead the programmed radio sound  
in “radio mode“  
on reception of radio programmes from programme slots 101 to 250 the sound of  
the corresponding TV programme is sent..  
The assignment of the programme slots can be changed as desired.  
Tuning in TV programmes  
To tune in to new TV programmes, the video and audio reception parameters need  
to be set up accordingly.  
The latest programme assignments can be obtained from satellite programme  
magazines, or called up via the videotext of programme Sat 1 from page 675.

In the “Orbit Position“ menu entry, division of the satellites into orbit positions 1 to 4  
is carried out.  
This dividing up is necessary for the signal selection with the 22 kHz, tone-burst or  
DiSEqC switching signal on reception from two (or more) satellites.  
The receiver is pre-programmed in accordance with the following table.

the 22 kHz switching signal is operative.  
Default setting in initial setup menu:  
22 kHz signal on for “Pos. A/B“.  
Video deviation  
The satellites transmit their signals with different video deviation, 16 or  
25 MHz. The setting has an effect on the picture brightness.  
Adjust the video deviation to obtain optimum picture brightness.  
Decoder menu  
You can attach a decoder to the decoder Scart socket for a Pay-TV programme  
with video signal.  
The receiver recognises Pay-TV programmes for which decoders deliver a switch-  
ing signal (e.g. like Premiere) independently, and switches this signal through to  
the TV Scart socket:  
To ensure that the decoded Pay TV programme is also switched through to the  
VCR Scart socket to permit video recording, the video signal path needs to be  
switched to external in the decoder menu. The following setting achieves this. The  
same is applicable for decoders that do not deliver a switching voltage.

Initial settings  
Grundeinstellungen  
In the initial setup menu, matching of the satellite receiver to the satellite receiving  
system is carried out.  
Important  
The receiver has already been factory pre-programmed for standard satellite re-  
ceiving systems.  
Alterations to the initial setting are therefore necessary only if your receiving sys-  
tem deviates from this type of installation or if you happen to want different set-  
tings.  
The settings in the initial setup menu are generally carried out by the specialist  
dealer on installation of the satellite receiving system.  
To prevent any unintentional alterations in the initial settings, the initial setup menu  
can be invoked only from the switched-off state.

Initial settings  
When making the setting, it should be ensured that there is at least one blank  
channel above and below the output channel in order to avoid interference.  
Modulator TV / VCR  
Here you can assign the UHF modulator to either the TV- or the VCR Scart socket.  
Factory presetting: assignment to the TV Scart socket.  
An assignment to the VCR Scart socket is recommended if, for example, your  
video recorder is unsuitable for “VPS“ via the Scart input. In this case, connect the  
video recorder via the UHF modulator and assign the modulator to the VCR Scart  
socket.  
OSD language  
Here you can select the language for the on-screen displays. The choice available  
comprises: German, English and French.  
Default: German  
LNB supply voltage  
Here you can turn off the power supply for the feed system if this is implemented  
by an external power supply and signal selection is likewise not carried out by  
means of the LNB supply voltage (e.g. Kathrein single-cable feed system UAS  
330).  
Note  
If there are switchover matrices in the receiving system, the LNB supply voltage  
needs to be turned in all cases.  
Default: ON  
LNB supply voltage in standby  
When the receiver is in standby the LNB supply voltage is normally switched off.  
If terrestrial signals and satellite signals are combined in the receiving system, and  
the power supply for the relevant components comes from the receiver, the power  
supply must also be guaranteed when the receiver is in standby.  
In this case switch the power supply in standby to “On“.  
Default: “Off“.

Radio mode  
To call the initial setup menu for radio, the receiver must be switched into radio

LED brightness  
Here you can increase the brightness of the LED display. This may be necessary,  
for example, if bright light is beaming down on the receiver and the LED displays  
are no longer easy to read. In this case set the display to “High“ setting.  
Factory preset: Low  
Remote control handset  
The receiver contains command sets for Kathrein remote controls with both 24 and  
26 keys. The remote control included with the receiver has 26 keys and this is the  
predefined command set on delivery. Therefore leave this setting unchanged as  
“26 keys“ (factory preset).  
Oscillator frequency  
The satellites radiate their programmes in a frequency range that satellite receivers  
are unable to process. In the receiving system (known as the LNB - Low Noise  
Block converter or LNC - Low Noise Converter) this frequency is converted into a  
lower frequency that can be processed by satellite receivers.  
The satellite transmission frequencies lie in the following ranges:  
10700 ... 11700 MHz  
11700 ... 12750 MHz  
Low-band  
High-band  
The receiver‘s input frequency range, however, lies in the range: 920...2150 MHz.  
Conversion of the higher frequencies into a lower frequency is achieved with the  
aid of the oscillator frequency (LO frequency). Various oscillator frequencies are  
used for the conversion according to the satellite frequency range and type of sys-  
tem.  
For Astra and Eutelsat receiving systems, this is generally 9.75 GHz (9750 MHz)  
for the lower frequency band (low-band) and 10.6 GHz (10600 MHz). for the upper  
frequency band (high-band). Older receiving systems still operate in the low-band  
region with 10 GHz oscillator frequency.  
The receiver calculates the frequency onto which it needs to tune by subtracting  
the oscillator frequency from the satellite transmission frequency stored for each  
programme.

DiSEqC menu  
Fundamentals of the DiSEqC signal (Digital Satellite Equipment Control)  
In order to select the satellite signals different control signals are required.  
Up until now, the 14/18V LNB supply voltage and the 22 kHz signal (superimposed  
on the LNB supply voltage) have been sufficient for signal selection for the majority  
of applications.  
With these four control criteria it is possible to switch between horizontally and ver-  
tically polarised signals, as well as between two satellites (multifeed reception).  
With the extension of the frequency range to the 12 GHz region (high-band region  
11.70 – 12.75 GHz) or for reception of more than two satellites, additional control  
criteria are required for LNB selection and signal selection.  
The “DiSEqC“ control signal has been developed by Eutelsat in collaboration with  
Philips.  
The “DiSEqC“ control signal is, in fact, a particular form of modulation (pulse-width  
modulation) of the already existing 22 kHz signal.

DiSEqC  
Up to 16 inputs can be switched with the “DiSEqC“ control signal.  
If the receiver is connected up to a “DiSEqC" switch-over matrix, the menu entry  
must be set to “On”.  
Note  
For optimal usage it is essential to know the switching criteria and the input as-  
signments of the DiSEqC switching matrices.  
Thus take into account the specifications of the DiSEqC switching matrices or get  
in touch with the installer of the receiving system.  
DiSEqC repeat  
If the receiver is operated on a receiving system with two or more DiSEqC switch-  
ing matrices connected in series (cascaded), the DiSEqC command must be re-  
peated.  
In this case set the menu entry “DiSEqC Repeat" to “1" or “2“.  
Default: Off  
UFO mini  
With a “subscriber-controlled preprocessing system" the receiver‘s input frequency  
is adjusted to a fixed input frequency. The signals are transmitted by the “sub-  
scriber-controlled preprocessing system“ on this frequency. The reception pa-  
rameters for the programme selection are transmitted by “DiSEqC“ command  
to the receiving system and set up there.  
Which setting needs to be selected "On" or “Twin“ is dependent on the design of  
the “subscriber-controlled preprocessing system“.  
The “UFO Twin“ design is a special form of the “subscriber-controlled preprocess-  
ing system“  
Note  
The setting is therefore to be made according to information in the “subscriber-  
controlled preprocessing system“ installation guide.  
Remote frequency  
If you have set "On" or “Twin“ in menu entry UFO mini, make the setting in this  
menu entry for the transmission frequency.  
The particular transmission frequency that needs to be set for tuner A “TV“ and  
tuner B “VCR“, in the range 0 to 2150 MHz, is given in the “subscriber-controlled  
preprocessing system“ installation guide.  
Note  
It is therefore essential to note the installation guide instructions of the “subscriber-  
controlled preprocessing system“.

Here control and communication between the receiver and the Kathrein “UFO mi-  
cro" system is effected via the return path of the coaxial cable.  
If the UFD 420 receiver is operated on a “UFO micro“ receiving system, an “On"  
setting must be made in menu entry “UFO micro".  
A special address is then assigned to the receiver by the receiving system during  
installation, so that the control commands sent to the receiving system for signal  
selection are also recognised by it.  
A remote frequency does not need to be set up in this mode of operation since this  
is determined by the “UFO micro" system with the addressing.  
If the receiver is used on different receiving systems the previously assigned ad-  
dress is to be deleted. This is done in menu entry “Reset".  
As a result, the receiver is then assigned the factory-preset address once again  
(virgin address). Following this, the “On" setting should be made again. The re-  
ceiver is then given a new address by the new system..
