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

Software changes/use of applications

Any modiﬁ cations to the receiver software, or the use of applications not provided by Kathrein will invalidate

the warranty! You will have to bear the costs yourself for shipping and repairing any receiver that requires

attention due to modiﬁ cations to the software and use of applications other than those provided by Kathrein!

Therefore use only software and applications provided by Kathrein for your receiver. These are available for

download from our website (www.kathrein.de).

Kathrein assumes no liability for the loss of recordings/data on internal hard disks or external storage media.

The software installed on the device/product before dispatch from the factory is suitable for its function and

is of the quality usual for this type of software. It has not been technically possible to fully eliminate all bugs

during the software development process. However the software as delivered is defective only if it fails to

perform the functions usual for the device/product. A shortcoming that causes only an insigniﬁ cant reduction

in quality does not rank as a defect. Functional shortcomings in the software or program that result from

hardware defects, ambient conditions, incorrect operation or the like do not rank as software defects.

CI+ and the CI+ logo are trade marks or registered trade marks of CI Plus LLP.

The UFC 965 satisﬁ es the minimum requirements of CI+.

Safety Instructions - Important Notes

Mains power cable

Make sure that the mains cable

(power supply cable) is not damaged.

Units with a damaged mains cable

must be disconnected from the mains

(unplug it at the socket) and repaired

by an electrical specialist before being

used. Only use the power supply unit

supplied (if available)!

Risk of fatal injury due to electric

shock!

Danger!

Cleaning

Disconnect the mains plug before

cleaning the unit. Use a dry cloth for

cleaning and only clean the outer

surface. Never open the casing of the

Safety Instructions - Important Notes

Periods of extended absence,

thunderstorms, mains socket

accessibility

In order to disconnect the unit from

the mains completely, the mains plug

must be unplugged from the mains

power socket! Therefore install the

unit close to a mains socket and make

sure this socket is accessible at all

times, so that you can disconnect the

unit from the mains if necessary.

If you are away for an extended

period, and during thunderstorms,

always switch the unit off at the mains

and unplug the power plug from the

socket. This also applies to the other

equipment connected to the unit.

Isolation from the cable network is

also recommended. Note any timer

programming (receiver) and turn the

unit on again promptly before the

recording time.

Installation location

All electronic equipment generates

heat. The temperature rise of this unit

does however lie within the permissible

range. Sensitive furniture surfaces and

veneers may become discoloured by

the effects of constant heat over time.

The feet of the unit can also cause

colour changes to treated furniture

surfaces. If necessary, place the unit

on a suitable stable and ﬂ at base!

Repairs

Ensure that any repairs to your unit

are carried out by qualiﬁ ed personnel.

Opening the unit and attempting to

repair it yourself will void all warranty

claims!

Improper work on the unit may

jeopardise the electrical safety of the

unit.

The manufacturer accepts no liability

for accidents caused by the user

opening the unit casing!

Connections

Incorrect wiring of the connections

can lead to malfunctions or defects on

the unit!

Important!

Switching the receiver off

Warning!

Channel assignment

The channels available on the cable network are subject to continual change. When such changes occur

it is necessary to reset the channels. The information for these settings can be found on the Internet or in

relevant magazines.

Updating the receiver software

Your receiver was equipped in the factory with the latest software version available at that time. We are,

however, constantly working on adapting the software to the wishes of our customers and to developments

in technology. Further information on this can be found in the sections "Main Menu - Multimedia", "Software

update".

9

The information in this operating manual was correct at the time of going to print. We reserve the right

however to make changes at any time and without prior notice. If new software is released for your

receiver, and this affects the information in the operating instructions (e.g. changes to the menus and/or

functions), if we believe it necessary we will make available new operating instructions for download at

"www.kathrein.de".

Make a note of the receiver's basic settings (these are set during ﬁ rst installation), so you can restore them

if necessary!

Please be aware of your responsibility towards your fellow human beings. Keep this manual

Connecting the receiver

TV connection

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 ﬁ tted to the cable, strip the insulation from the cable

as shown in the following illustration and carefully ﬁ t the connector to the end of the

cable so that it is securely ﬁ tted.

When ﬁ 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-ﬁ system, connect the audio cinch sockets to the input sockets

on the hi-ﬁ 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.
