Dear customer,
this operating manual is 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 help you understand particular specialist terms that cannot be translated, we have
added a short glossary at the end of the manual.
The power switch is an environmentally friendly feature. If you will not be using your receiver for an extended
period, you should use the on/off switch to disconnect it from the power supply and save energy. For shorter
breaks, you can use the remote control 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

Connection and Set-Up
Connect the RF IN input of the receiver to the antenna socket. Use a coaxial cable with
a standard IEC connector.
If the IEC connector is not yet tted to the cable, strip the insulation from the cable
as shown in the following illustration and carefully t the connector to the end of the
cable so that it is securely tted.
When tting the connector, make sure that no strands of the braid are touching the
inner conductor, otherwise a short circuit will occur.
The quality of the reception signal depends on a good connection at this point!

There are two ways you can access the digital audio.
HDMI
The stereo audio is transmitted to your TV set via the HDMI interface. If your TV set also supports
Dolby Digital, you can also receive the Dolby Digital audio via the HDMI interface (providing it is
broadcast by the channel provider). On this issue refer to the operating instructions for your TV set.
SPDIF Dolby Digital output (optical)
The SPDIF output is intended for the connection of a Dolby Digital system (see "Advanced connection
example" in the technical appendix). Connect the SPDIF output and the Dolby Digital system using an
appropriate cable.
If you want to play the sound on your hi- system, connect the audio cinch sockets to the input sockets
on the hi- system, using an appropriate cable (see "Advanced connection example" in the technical
appendix).
Connect the receiver (TV Scart socket) to the video recorder/PVR using a Scart cable (necessary only if
the TV set and receiver are not already connected using a Scart cable).
For system reasons, the same video signals are present at both the TV Scart socket and also the video
cinch output.
Audio connection
Digital
Analogue
If you are recording to an external video recorder/DVD, remember not to operate the receiver
during recording, otherwise all the on-screen displays will appear on your recording.
During recording with a video/DVD recorder, no channel may be viewed other than the one being
recorded. Only if the recording is on to a USB hard disk can any other channel be viewed.
If the receiver is started by means of a timer recording, there will be no picture on your TV set.
Only when the standby button (On/Off) is pressed will a TV picture be visible or the receiver begin
operation.
