Preface 1 Preface Dear customer, These instructions for use 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 aid understanding, technical terms are explained in section 2.4, p. 10. The on/off switch and the auto standby function are environmentally friendly features. Turn your receiver off with the on/off switch (on the rear of the receiver) if you will not be watching the TV for an extended period of time. For shorter breaks, you can use the remote control (on/off button) 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 6 of 160

About these instructions 2.4 Abbreviations and technical terms Antenna Automatic timeshift CEC Common Interface/ CI module DHCP DiSEqC EPG, Gracenote EPG FAT32 FTP HbbTV HbbTV HDCP HDMI See Satellite antenna. Automatic timeshift runs in the background automatically and enables recordings to be made retrospectively in conjunction with the OTR function. CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) facilitates cross-unit control functions such as One-Touch Play/Record, System Standby, Preset Transfer, etc. The CEC interface has been derived from AV.link, which was previously the prevailing control standard in Europe. The Common Interface (CI) is an interface which can accept CI modules. CI modules can accept a smart card, such as is required to receive encrypted pay TV channels. The smart card contains the subscriber's data, together with data on the channels that have been paid for and can be received. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows a unit (a computer/ receiver) to link automatically into an existing network (automatic reference to the IP address, network screen, gateway, etc.). DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a digital control signal system which allows reception from more than one satellite. EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) is a programme guide which the receiver displays on the TV set. Gracenote EPG is an editorially pre-processed EPG supplied by the company Gracenote. Gracenote EPG supplies programme data for more than 160 channels up to 14 days in advance. FAT32 (File Allocation Table) is a widely-used file system for files up to 4 GB. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol for transferring files over IP networks. HbbTV (Hybrid broadcast broadband TV) can be used to show supplementary information from the programme provider in addition to the videotext. This information can be received via the TV signal and also via the Internet. Mit HbbTV (Hybrid broadcast broadband TV) können Zusatzinformationen der Programmanbieter zusätzlich zum Videotext angezeigt werden. Diese Informationen können sowohl mit dem TV-Signal als auch über das Internet empfangen werden. HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a coding system used for the HDMI and DVI interfaces for transmitting video and audio data in a protected format. HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface for video and audio. 10 of 160
IP address LAN LCN Live mode LNB Multi-switch Multi-feed reception Every device in a network must have its own IP address (Internet Protocol address), so that it can be uniquely addressed in the course of network communication. LAN (Local Area Network) is a local network, for instance a home network. LCN (Logical Channel Numbering) enables the channels broadcast by the ASTRA satellite to be updated easily. In this case: When updating, the receiver compares its channel list with the current ASTRA LCN channel list. If the receiver finds modified channels in the current ASTRA LCN channel list, it replaces these channels in its channel list. In so doing, the channels remain in the positions defined by the customer. If the receiver finds new channels in the ASTRA LCN channel list, it adds them to the end of its channel list After switch-on, the receiver shows whether it has found modified or new channels The receiver always updates the channel list after the Gracenote EPG data has been updated In Live mode the TV set shows a programme that is currently being broadcast. Other operating modes are Timeshift Playing back a programme from the Recording Archive Playing content from the Internet, e.g. HbbTV, Internet radio The LNB (Low Noise Block Converter) is located at the focal point of a satellite antenna. The LNB converts the satellite frequencies into lower frequencies which can be processed by a satellite receiver. A multi-switch distributes the signals supplied by the LNB to the various different satellite receivers. Multiple satellites are received simultaneously at one satellite reception system. NAS, An NAS (Network Attached Storage)/NAS hard disk is network storage which NAS hard disk all devices connected to the network can access. NIT NTFS NIT (Network Information Table) is a transponder list transmitted by satellites, which the receiver can use to perform a channel search relatively quickly and to find hitherto unknown channels. Background: Each transponder transmits a separate NIT that contains only some of all the transponders. Firstly, the receiver scans all the transponders it knows for NITs. Next, it receives information about transponders previously unknown to it, which the receiver then scans. NTFS (New Technology File System) is a proprietary Microsoft file system. 11 of 160
About these instructions OTR PIP Reception level Satellite antenna S/PDIF SCART Timeshift Transponder Transponder frequency UTC WLAN OTR (One-Touch Recording) enables the programme currently being broadcast to be recorded including retrospectively. See 5.11, p. 37ff for more information. With the PIP (Picture In Picture) display, a second, small image is shown in which a live programme can be watched at the same time as a recording. Satellite signals are transmitted on four reception levels: horizontal high, horizontal low, vertical high, vertical low. Within this document, satellite antenna means a parabolic antenna (parabolic reflector, "satellite dish"). S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) is a digital interface for electrical or optical transmission of digital audio signals such as Dolby Digital AC-3. SCART (Syndicat des Constructeurs d Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs) is a European standard for connecting audio and video units via a 21-pin plug-connection cable. The timeshift function enables a programme currently being broadcast to be viewed with a timeshift, paused and fast-forwarded/rewound. Timeshift must be started manually. See Transponder Frequency. A transponder is a frequency converter within the satellite, which broadcasts the TV and radio signals to earth at a specific Transponder Frequency. Each satellite has several transponders. Analogue transponders broadcast only one TV channel and possibly several radio stations on a single transponder frequency. Digital transponders broadcast several TV channels and radio stations on a single transponder frequency. UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated) is the coordinated world time based on the London Greenwich zero meridian. Central European Time (CET) corresponds to UTC+1:00. In summer the time used is Central European Summer Time (CEST) which corresponds to UTC+2:00. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a local wireless network (radio network).

6 EPG 6.1 General information on the EPG What is the EPG? The EPG is an editorially pre-processed electronic programme guide containing free information about approximately 160 TV channels. The EPG displays information for TV channels up to two weeks in advance. Tip EPG data is obtained from Gracenote or the programme provider. If no EPG data is available, the receiver shows the message No data available! Following first installation, EPG data is available at the latest After the EPG data is first updated during the night or After the receiver has been switched off in standby for 24 hours for the first time Which channels are supported by Gracenote? The channels supported by Gracenote are marked in the channel list with the Gracenote logo 1). 1) Preconditions: The EPG data has been updated and REC has been pressed in the open channel list. Are there limitations with the Gracenote EPG? Due to the large amounts of data involved, the receiver cannot store Gracenote data for all channels. Therefore, Gracenote is only switched on for some channels when the unit leaves the factory. If Gracenote is activated for other channels, the amount of Gracenote data for future programmes decreases accordingly. Where does the EPG data come from? The EPG data is transmitted via ASTRA satellites, transponder 12,603.75 MHz horizontal 22,000 KS/s. Tip If you have accidentally deleted the transponder 12,603.75 MHz, restore it by performing a channel search for ASTRA/Transponder 12,603.75 MHz horizontal 22,000 KS/s. 45 of 160
EPG Is there any reason external to the receiver that might mean the EPG does not work? If satellite reception systems from other manufacturers are used, EPG data transmission can fail if those systems do not work with transponder 12,603.75 MHz horizontal 22,000 KS/s. Tip If you can receive the WDR Bonn TV channel, you should also be able to receive EPG data. WDR Bonn is transmitted on the same transponder as the EPG data. What about EPG data for channels that are not broadcast via ASTRA? EPG data for channels broadcast via the HOTBIRD 13 East satellite cannot be received until a channel search has been performed via HOTBIRD 13 East. Tip Some HOTBIRD channels are supported by Gracenote EPG and are transmitted by ASTRA.

UFSconnect 10 UFSconnect Smarter than your TV set. With UFSconnect receivers from Kathrein you can break through the limits of previous TV island solutions: The Auto-Tuner-Share function automatically uses the receiver of another UFSconnect receiver in the home network whilst a recording is being made. This allows an undisturbed live TV experience, even when the built-in receiver is blocked by a recording. With each UFSconnect receiver you have access to all your TV recordings, regardless of where you made them. Enjoy satellite TV in the accustomed quality even in rooms that do not have any satellite cabling. Via the UFScontrol app you can see live TV on your tablet/ smartphone, program recordings or conveniently control your receiver within a home network. The Wake-on-LAN (WOL) function enables units such as receivers, tablets and smartphones to wake a UFSconnect receiver from standby via the home network.

Antenna & Satellite Tip Information about the one-cable system In the one-cable system several receivers/subscribers are connected to a common antenna cable Furthermore: Channels from several satellites are transmitted on up to 32 transmission channels. EXR.../EXU... / User-defined: 2 satellites, 8 channels, UAS 481: 1 satellite, 4 channels, SCD2: 64 satellites, 32 channels (in accordance with EN 50494) Each transmission channel is permanently assigned to a receiver/subscriber. Note: Each transmission channel may only be assigned to one receiver/ subscriber, to prevent cross-channel interference. Each twin receiver requires two transmission channels. One transmission frequency is assigned to each transmission channel. Refer to the documentation of the one-cable system multi-switch to determine which frequency you must assign to which transmission channel. Fig. 70, p. 128 shows an example channel/frequency assignment of multiswitch EXR 1581. If the one-cable system supports it, the assignment of a transmission channel to a transmission frequency can be protected with a PIN. The PIN prevents the transmission frequency being inadvertently assigned to a second receiver/tuner/subscriber. It may be possible to permanently define the one-cable system PIN. Refer to the documentation of the one-cable system for more information. Menu item Description EXR.../EXU...
