Foreword

Dear customer,

This User's Guide is designed to help you to use the extensive func-

tions of your new satellite receiver most effectively.

We have made every effort to make the instructions as clear and un-

derstandable as possible and to keep them as short as necessary.

You will find a small glossary of terms at the end of the User's Guide

to facilitate understanding of certain technical expressions that do not

lend themselves to translation.

We have designed the power switch specifically with the environment

in mind. Therefore, in order to save electricity, disconnect your re-

ceiver from the mains if you will not be watching TV for a longer period

of time. For shorter periods you can switch the receiver to standby

with the remote control to reduce power consumption to a minimum.

We wish you the very best reception and great pleasure with your new

DVB Sat receiver.

Your

KATHREIN Team

Important notes

Should you, contrary to all expectations, experience problems with

your receiver, please contact your dealer.

Changes keep on being made with regard to the channel arrangement

of the satellites and transponders. Accordingly it is necessary in such

cases to reset the channel settings, although the pre-programming in

the factory always corresponds to the latest status. You can take the

information for this new setting from the SAT.1 video text, from the

Internet or the corresponding periodicals.

Your receiver was equipped ex works with the latest software in each

case. However, we are constantly endeavouring to adapt the software

to the wishes of our customers and the state of the art. You will find

further information about this in the “Software and channel list update”

section.

Please keep the original packaging for possible return shipment!

The UFD 506 is intended only for free

channels - no CI shaft!

The UFD 516 CI receives free and en-

ted channels

Channel Selection

Channel selection by number buttons [P+], [P-] and list

You set the channel by direct entry of the channel number with the

number buttons (0 is also a channel number).

You switch on/back to the next/previous channel with the [P+]/[P-] but-

tons.

A list sorted according to channel numbers is displayed after you

press the [OK] button twice. You can select the channel you want with

the [◄]/[►] and [▲]/[▼] buttons and then with the [OK] button. If you

press the [OK] button once again or the [EXIT] button, the list disap-

pears.

You can sort the channel list alphabetically with the i button, this sim-

plifies locating channels.

The channel list is displayed again in the order of the channel num-

bers if you press the i button once again.

“Last programme” with [EXIT] button

You can change between the two last set programmes with the [EXIT]

button.

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

The last four programmes which were viewed for at least 5 seconds

are filed automatically in a memory. The programmes stored this way

can be selected directly with [OK] and then using the arrow buttons

[◄], [►], [▲] or [▼].

You can quickly relocate a programme you have left during an adver-

tising break with the aid of this function.

Channel administration with channel pool and 10 favourite banks

Digital television brings you as viewer a large number of new chan-

nels. Already far more than 1,200 TV and more than 600 radio chan-

nels can be received with a satellite reception system, which is de-

signed for instance for receiving the ASTRA 19° east and EUTEL-

SAT/HOT-BIRD 13° east satellites. It is true that more than one half of

these channels are encrypted and can be decoded only with corre-

sponding CA modules, but an extensive number of channels that have

to be administered still remains. In addition, the channels of a further

six satellites are pre-programmed in the receiver.

To be able to control this range of channels and to keep it manage-

able, the memory for the TV channels is divided into two areas – into a

so-called channel pool with 2,000 storage places and into 10 associ-

ated favourite banks with 1,000 storage spaces in each case.

Channel Selection

The radio channels are organized identically, i.e. there is a separate

channel pool for 2,000 radio storage places and a further 10 associ-

ated radio favourite banks with 1,000 places each.

Note:

Please note that after a satellite, transponder or manual search, the

newly found channels are stored in the channel pool under “New free”

or “New CA”.

You will find all channels of the channel pool in the right selection win-

dow in the “Channel arrangement” menu.

Select the “All Free” or “All CA” (CA stands for ‘Conditional Access’,

i.e. for encrypted channels) with the TE button if you want to copy a

channel from the channel pool into one of the favourite banks.

Both the previous (= old) channels as well as the new channels found

by a preceding search are located in the “All Free” and “All CA” selec-

tion.

After a search it is advantageous to make the “New free” or “New CA”

selection with the TV button, since only the channels found newly by

the search are listed here.

With the [P-] or [P+] buttons you can select and assess the channels

and if you like them copy them with the [TEXT] button into one or else

into several of your favourite banks (you will find further details about

this below).

The favourite banks are currently pre-programmed ex works as fol-

lows (changes reserved):

Favourite Bank Available channels

F0: General The most important free channels of ASTRA 19° east and

EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° east are located at the beginning of the list.

Channels of further satellites then follow.

F1: News Selection of news channels (Phoenix, n-TV, N-24 …)

F2: Sports Selection of sports channels (DSF, Eurosport …)

F3: Music Selection of music channels (MTV, VIVA …)

F4: Travel Selection of channels from various travel destinations

F5: Shopping Selection of advertising and sales channels

F6: ITALY Channels of EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13°

F7: AUSTRIA Contains all channels from F0: General (only for UFD 516)

In addition:

ORF 1 on channel place 1 (P001),

ORF 2 on channel place 2 (P002) and the local channels on the fol-

lowing places.

ARD is thus shifted to channel place 12 (P003). All following channels

from F0: General are also shifted.

F8: SPAIN Contains the channels of Hispasat 33°

F9: Bank-9 The favourite bank 9 contains PREMIERE channels (only UFD 516).

You can also change the names of the favourite banks (see “Chang-

ing favourite names”) and/or change the arrangement of the favourite

banks. It is also conceivable that family members create individual fa-

vourite banks with their names.

It is also possible for users possessing more than two CA modules to

sort names and contents of favourite banks according to programme

providers or according to the relevant encryption system.

You can achieve more clarity inside a favourite bank if you use

“~~~~~~” as channel name. This is a “dummy” channel that you can

use as placeholder. You will find this placeholder in the “Channel ar-

rangement” menu with the TV button under “All Free”.

Placeholders are “dummy” channels used to provide greater clarity in

the arrangement of favourite banks, e.g. by forming channel groups.

The display for placeholder channels is organized as follows:

Channel Selection

Satellite 1 = ASTRA 19 “~ ~~~~~~~”

Satellite 2 = HOTBIRD 13 “~~ ~~~~~~” etc.

When alphabetically sorted, the placeholder channels appear at the

end of the list.

P095 Channel XXX

P096 Channel YYY

P097 Channel ZZZ

P098 ~~~~~

P099 ~~~~~

P100 PREMIERE START

P101 PREMIERE 1

P102 PREMIERE 2

. . . .

The above example shows how a placeholder can be used, in order

for instance to place the channels of a channel group in a certain

memory place.

The favourite banks are selected by pressing the F button followed by

an assigned number button 0...9.

Note:

You see the following information in the display after a channel selec-

tion:

F = free / $ = encrypted channel

A = two or several language channels

available ([OPT] button)

TV / radio switchover

You switch over to radio or TV with the [TV/R] button.

Note: All channel functions available for TV (“Last programme”, “Zapper

function”, favourite banks, channel lists and channel pool etc.) are

also available separately for 2,000 radio channels.

Audio adjustments

The volume of the receiver can be adjusted in 20 steps with the



button.

The current level of the volume is displayed in the channel display.

Switch sound off/on (mute) – at “Sound off” a corresponding OSD text

is displayed for approx. 2 seconds. The “Sound off” function is also

cancelled again by pressing the volume button

Channel Selection

Digital output

The receiver has an audio output for the AC 3 format (Dolby Digital).

Thus you have the possibility of bringing cine sound into your living

room. Connect the digital audio output only with a corresponding sys-

tem.

Observe in any event the operating instructions of your Dolby

Digital system.

Only a few programme providers transmit the AC 3 format. If no AC 3

signal is received, you can only make the customary stereo or mono

settings or select the languages that are also transmitted.

Digital/Analogue – Audio Mode

In digital satellite technology picture and sound are generally transmit-

ted in digital form (MPEG-coded).

If the term “Analogue–Audio Mode” is used in this section, this means

that the digital signals in the receiver are converted into analogue au-

dio signals and made available in analogue form at the “Left” and

“Right” Cinch sockets as well as at the TV and VCR Scart socket.

On the other hand in the “Digital–Audio Mode” the signals are for-

warded for decoding in digital form through the “Digital” Cinch socket

to corresponding terminals, for example to a Dolby Surround system.

Both 2-channel stereo signals (coded in PCM format) or else complex

multi-channel surround signals (Dolby Digital/AC 3) can be transmitted

at the digital socket.

After you press the [OPT] button, the “Digital/Analogue-Audio-Mode”

menu is displayed. You can use this menu as information display and

exit it again immediately by pressing the [OPT] button again – or else

change different settings.

Analogue outputs

In the right-hand window you see the current signal status of the con-

nections on the rear panel of your satellite receiver.

You receive an analogue audio signal at the Cinch sockets and

through the TV and VCR Scart sockets.

Bilingual programmes are transmitted separately through the two

“Left” and “Right” stereo channels. In this case you would hear for in-

stance “German” on the left and “English” on the right loudspeaker. To

hear only one language, select “Mono-L” or “Mono-R” with the



but-

ton and confirm your selection with the [OK] button. The current selec-

tion is highlighted white.

However, most bilingual or multilingual programmes are transmitted

through separate audio tracks. In this case it is shown in the left win-

dow e.g. under 1 = German and under 2 = English, in which case you

can hear both languages in each case in stereo sound. Select the de-

sired language with the



buttons and confirm your selection with the

[OK] button. The currently selected language (or audio track) is high-

lighted white.

The stereo display in the following figure means that only one lan-

guage is transmitted in stereo. The contents in the left window are set

by the broadcasting station – for instance in line 1 in the left window

“Deutsch” or “ger” could also be displayed instead of “Stereo”.

Channel Selection

Digital output

In the right window you see in each case the current signal status at

the digital output (= digital Cinch socket).

If “PCM“ is displayed, then the digital signal is coded in the PCM for-

mat.

If “AC 3” is displayed, then the audio signal is coded in the Dolby Digi-

tal format.

Select, if offered, the desired language or audio track in the left win-

dow with the



button and confirm your selection with the [OK] button.

The currently selected audio track is highlighted white.

The number of offered languages and audio tracks is set by the pro-

gramme provider.

In this case a PCM-coded language or audio track is always dis-

played. However, two or several PCM-coded language or audio tracks

can also be offered with one or several AC 3-coded languages or au-

dio tracks.

In radio channels up to 20 PCM-coded audio tracks can be available

which you can select with the



button and confirm with the [OK] but-

ton.

“AC-3 – general”:

If you have selected the “Dolby Digital/AC 3” mode for digital audio,

the digital output is switched automatically to AC 3 as soon as a cor-

responding code is transmitted (see also under signal paths / digital

audio).

Channel Selection

r E c

Timer

The “Timer Programming” menu is selected in the main menu under

item 5. Up to 8 timer events can be entered optionally with TV or radio

channels.

Note: Please note that in the selection “VCR Record = Standard” the video

recorder must also be set to identical recording times (see also signal

paths / VCR record).

Note: Please note that no remote control commands are accepted during a

timer recording, so that OSD picture displays are not recorded unin-

tentionally. The volume is switched to full level for recording. As indi-

cation that a timer recording is active, “r E c” is displayed on the pro-

gramme display on the receiver if a command is received from the

remote control.

The timer recording can be stopped prematurely only by the []

but-

ton = stop button. “End” is displayed after stopping. The receiver can

now be operated normally again.

If the timer recording is started from stand-by, then the receiver

switches back to stand-by after the end of recording.

perform programming.

EPG – Electronic Programme Guide (base navigator)

Information on the current and following programme are displayed in

the EPG (Electronic Programme Guide).

The extent of this information accompanying the programme is deter-

mined by the relevant programme provider and differs very much from

channel to channel. Many programmes are also broadcast without

useful additional information (SI data).

It is also similar with the programme preview. Some programme pro-

viders transmit no data, others already transmit a programme preview

with additional information up to a few days in advance.

You call up and also exit again the EPG programme information with

the [EPG] button.

a) Current and next programme

[EPG] shows title, start and end of the current programme and,

according to programme provider, further information on the pro-

gramme.

Pressing the [EPG] button once again shows title, start and end of

the next programme and, according to programme provider, fur-

ther information about the programme.

You exit the programme information again with [EPG].

You exit the programme information immediately with [EXIT].

b) Further programme preview and additional information

[EPG] activate base navigator, display information on the current

programme.

[OK] select programme preview.

According to programme provider you receive a programme list

for the current day or over several days in advance.

Channel Selection

You can switch forwards or backwards line by line or page by

page to the desired programme with the [▼] [▲] or [►] [◄] but-

tons.

Once you have selected the programme you want, you can call

up further detailed information with the [OK] button. You receive a

corresponding message if no additional information is available.

If the text of the additional information goes over more than one page,

then you can switch on or back line by line with the [▼] [▲] buttons.

You exit the additional information display with the [OK] button or with

[EXIT] and return to the programme preview.

Menu Structure - Channels

Read these lines carefully and observe all screen instructions.

Favourite Bank

You select one of the favourite banks 0-9 with [FAV] and [▼▲].

Functions in the channel database

You select the main menu with the [MENU] button and press the [OK]

button twice to reach the “Channel arrangement” menu.

Note:

The list on the left side is

shifted with the +/- volume

buttons, the list on the right

side with the channel but-

tons.

The favourite banks (FA),

satellite (ME) and channels

(TE) menus are operated

with the P+/P- cursor keys.

In this case the setting focus

is also switched over to the

left or right window.

You therefore see the asso-

ciated picture in the currently

selected window for every

action – whether copying,

exchanging or deleting.

Menu Structure - Channels

You select a favourite bank with [FAV] (FA) [▼] [▲].

You select a satellite with [MENU] (ME) and [▼▲].

You select the channel source with [TEXT] (TE) and [▼▲].

You move the channel you want into the file with the [PIP] button (=

remove – green arrow).

You insert the removed channel into the position selected with



with

the [OPT] button (= insert – yellow arrow).

You accept the channel selected in the source with the [TV/R] button

(= copy – blue arrow).

Deletion

You move the channel to be deleted with the



button (or by entering

the channel number) into the green bar and then with the [PIP] button

into the clipboard. You exit the menu with [EXIT] and confirm “Save

change” with [OK].

Note: “Deleted channels” are only removed from the favourite bank, they

therefore continue to be in the channel pool and can thus be rein-

serted at any time!

The search run also finds channels containing no usable TV pro-

gramme. A test picture for instance can therefore be detected in ad-

vance and cannot be inadvertently entered into one of the channel

lists.

Note:

The transparency of the display can be switched between variable

and fixed (fixed is opaque) with the [

■] button.

The transparency can be increased or reduced with the [◄] [►] but-

tons in the ‘var’ mode.

This function is very helpful when sorting and copying channels, since

at high transparency a fast assessment regarding nature and contents

of the channel is possible.

Copying

Set the desired, blue marked source channel with the [P+] [P-] buttons

and then search for the place in the favourite bank at which the chan-

nel should be inserted using the



buttons or directly using the num-

ber buttons [0-9].

Press the [OK] button – finished!

Note: The receiver detects channels that are already stored in the current

favourite bank – in this case a

= character is displayed in the blue ar-

row (screen centre).

Note:

If you have deleted channels inadvertently, or want to undo the

changes made again, then exit the menu with the [EXIT] button and

press the button once again.

The changes made are accepted in the memory only after the [OK]

button is pressed.

Changing favourite name

The channel pool contains all channels in alphabetical order. You

make the selection according to satellites with the [MENU] button, the

selection according to free or encrypted channels with the [TEXT] but-

ton. All free (all encrypted) channels of the selected satellite are lo-

cated in “All Free” (“All CA”), therefore also the new free or encrypted

channels after a satellite search.

[▼] [▲] select channels in rows

[◄] [►] select channels in columns

All selected channels are immediately set by the receiver and dis-

played in the background. The associated CA module must be fitted

for encrypted channels. Selection of the satellite with the [MENU] but-

Antenna signal and reception parameters - Button [i]

You can align your parabolic antenna optimally as required in the

“Signal” submenu with button [i]. Turn the antenna so that an optimum

is shown in the scales for field strength and reception quality.

With very weak signals the field strength scale can also go to “0” – in

this case you optimise the signal with the scale for the reception qual-

ity.

If the “No signal” text is displayed and only the signal for the field

strength is displayed, then the antenna is possibly aligned to a (not

receivable) satellite for analogue signals.

The field strength or reception quality is in this case displayed on the

7-segment display of the receiver.
