Preface

Dear Customer,

The following operating manual will help you obtain the best possible

use from the extensive features of your new satellite receiver.

We have written this operating manual as comprehensibly as possible

and as concise as necessary. A brief lexicon containing specialised

terms not easily translatable has been appended at the end of this

manual.

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 energy. During short pauses, you should

switch the receiver to standby with the remote control, so the least

amount of energy is consumed.

We wish you a great reception and much enjoyment with your new

satellite receiver.

Your,

KATHREIN-Euroline

Team

Important notes

If you have any unexpected problems with your receiver, please

contact your specialist supplier.

With regard to the programme allocation of the satellites and trans-

ponders, changes always occur. In such cases, it is necessary to

carry out new programme settings, even though factory

pre-programming is always in accordance with the respective latest

developments. You can gather the details for the new setting from

teletext on SAT 1, the internet or relevant magazines.

Your receiver has been equipped with the latest software

at the factory. 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 list update" for more information.

Please keep the original packaging for the purpose of returning

the unit!

Safety instructions

Important notes regarding operation

The following section contains important information relating to the

operation, place of installation and connection of the receiver.

Read these notes carefully before putting the unit into operation.

Extended absence / thunderstorms

Always switch the unit off via its mains switch located on the right on

the front panel during periods of extended absence or at the onset of

thunderstorms. This also applies to any other equipment which 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

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. 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

Pay attention that children do not insert objects into the ventilation

slots. There is a risk of mortal danger due to electric shock.

Repairs

Only have qualified specialists carry out repairs and adjustments to

your receiver. Unauthorised opening of the receiver and attempts at

repair entail loss of guarantee.

Unauthorised tampering with the device can jeopardise the electrical

safety of the receiver.

The manufacturer is not liable for accidents occurring to the user as a

result of opening the receiver.

Connections

The unit may be rendered inoperative or not work properly if the

connections are not wired up properly.

Safety instructions

Grounding

The parabolic antenna is to be grounded in accordance with regula-

tions. The relevant local and/or German VDE regulations are to be

complied with here.

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 conjunction with treated furniture sur-

faces, the unit’s rubber feet can, likewise, give rise to changes in col-

our. Where necessary, place the unit on a suitable pad.

Ventilation

The heat which is generated in this unit is dissipated quite adequately.

Never install the receiver in a cabinet, shelf or rack with inadequate

ventilation. Never block 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

can disperse without obstruction.

Moisture, exposure to sunlight, heat

Protect the unit against moisture, drips and splashing.

Do not place the unit close to radiators nor expose it to direct sunlight.

Mains supply

Operate the receiver only with a mains voltage of 230V / 50 Hz.

First connect the antenna and the television set, before connecting the

receiver to the mains power supply and switching it on.

Connections, operation and displays

The following connections are found on the rear panel of the receiver:

230V / 50 Hz Connect the mains cable with the mains socket.

AUDIO TV L a. R Audio output, left and right channel for connection to a stereo system.

Functions of remote control

In standby, the receiver is switched on by pressing the red button or

the numerical buttons [0]-[9].

The [◄] [►] and [▲] [▼] buttons, which are arranged around the OK

button, possess the volume control function –/+ (Vol -/+) and the

programme selection function –/+ (Ch -/+) in normal operation.

Remote control command sets

The remote control can deal with two command sets. This enables the

parallel operation of two receivers independently in the same room

(not in connection with a twin receiver).

Note: Programme one receiver to command set 1 and the second to com-

mand set 2. Use the mains switch to activate receiver 1 and to deacti-

vate receiver 2.

Keep the button

“RC” pressed and then input the number “901” us-

ing the numbered keys.

In order to confirm the code and quit the remote control menu, press

“RC” again. Then press ““ to switch receiver 1 to standby and

deactivate the device using the mains switch.

Switch receiver 2 back on.

A description of the remote control

functions is integrated in the receiver’s

software. In order to call up these func-

tion descriptions, simply press the [RC]

button on the remote control and then

the button whose function is to be de-

scribed. The respective text is

displayed. Press the [RC] button once

more to exit the help menu.

Functions of remote control

Keep the button

“RC” pressed.

Use the numbered buttons to input “902”.

In order to confirm the code, press

“RC”, then switch receiver 2 to

standby by pressing

 and then switch back on again. Also switch

on receiver 1.

Keep the button

“RC” pressed and use the numbered buttons to

input “903”.

The remote control must point to the active receiver for the first two

settings.

You can now use the button

“RC” to switch between the command

sets A and B (toggle function), operating the two receivers alternately.

Command set 1 is the factory pre-setting.

If you are only operating one receiver and the active command set

has been switched by mistake so that the receiver can no longer be

operated, it is easy to switch the remote control back to command set

1. This process has already been described above.

Note: The remote control help (explanation of the remote control) is not dis-

played if you are operating two receivers!

Programme selection

Programme selection with the numerical buttons [0]-[9], [▲], [▼] and list

The programme setting is carried out by direct entry of the programme

number with the numerical buttons (0 is also a programme number).

With the [▲]/[▼] buttons, you can switch back/forward to the previous/

next programme.

After pressing the [OK] button twice, a list appears which is organised

according to programme numbers.

The desired programme can be called up with the [◄]/[►] and

[▲]/[▼] buttons and set by pressing the [OK] button. Exit the list by

pressing the [OK] button once more or the [E] button.

„Last programme“ with the [E] button

With the [E] button, you can switch between the last two set pro-

grammes.

„Zapper function“ with the [OK] and [◄] [▲] [►] [▼] buttons

If the current „desired programme“ is interrupted by advertisements,

many users „zap“ to a „substitute programme“ or to a second or third

programme. It often occurs that the user can’t find the way back to the

programme originally being watched.

The „zapper function” stores three further “substitute programmes,”

which were zapped to after the „desired programme.“ Only

programmes watched for at least 5 seconds can be saved.

The last 4 watched programmes can be directly called up by pressing

the [OK] button and then the [◄], [►], [▲] or [▼] button.

Programme selection

Programme management with 10 favourite lists

Digital television technology offers viewers a variety of

programmes. Depending on the number of received satellites, up to

2,000 TV and radio programmes are at one’s disposal.

In order to control such an enormous array of programmes, ten freely

definable favourite lists are available to the user, which allow clear

management and sorting of the programmes.

A favourite list is a list, in which any of the programmes selected from

a programme pool can be categorised.

The names of the lists are predefined at the factory comparable to the

following example. The names of the favourite list can be individually

changed. In each favourite list, the programme numbers P000 to P999

can be used.

Favourite list: Name Sorted programmes (example)

F0: GENERAL (e.g. All free-to-air programmes from the

programme pool)

F1: NEWS (e.g. PHOENIX, n-TV, N-24…)

F2: SPORT (e.g. DSF, EuroSport, Motors-TV)

F3: MUSIC (e.g. MTV, VIVA, VIVA 2…)

F4: TRAVEL (e.g. Travel-Channel…)

F5: SHOPPING (e.g. Home Shopping, QVC…)

F6: CHILDREN (e.g. KIKA and other programmes for

children)

F7: DIVERSE (e.g. All programmes, which are yet not

classified in a category)

F8: ABC (e.g. ...)

F9: XYZ (e.g. ...)

The desired programmes can be taken from the programme pool,

which contains all the programmes in alphabetical order, and copied

into one of the ten favourite lists.

All programmes from the programme pool are saved in the favourite

list F0 = GENERAL upon delivery. The favourite list F0 = GENERAL

contains all the programmes known thus far for satellite receivers.

Some of the programmes of the satellites, Astra 19.2° and EUTEL-

SAT/HOTBIRD, are already additionally contained in various favourite

lists.

The desired favourite list is selected by pressing the [F] button and

one of the assigned numerical buttons [0]-[9].
