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 sec-

tion 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

2.4 Abbreviations and technical terms

Antenna See Satellite antenna.

Automatic

timeshift

Automatic timeshift runs in the background automatically and enables record-

ings to be made retrospectively in conjunction with the OTR function.

CEC 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.

Common

Interface/

CI module

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 DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration 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 DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a digital control signal system

which allows reception from more than one satellite.

EPG,

Gracenote

EPG

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 chan-

nels up to 14 days in advance.

FAT32 FAT32 (File Allocation Table

)isawidely-usedlesystemforlesupto4GB.

FTP FTP (File Transfer Protocol)isanetworkprotocolfortransferringlesoverIP

networks.

HbbTV HbbTV (Hybrid broadcast broadband TV) can be used to show supplementary

information from the programme provider in addition to the videotext. This infor-

mation can be received via the TV signal and also via the Internet.

HDCP 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 pro-

tected format.

HDMI HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface for video and

audio.

IP address 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 commu-

nication.

LAN LAN (Local Area Network) is a local network, for instance a home network.

11 of 164

LCN 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ndsmodied 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denedbythecustomer.

Ifthereceivernds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modiedornew

channels

● The receiver always updates the channel list after the Gracenote EPG data

has been updated

Live mode 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

LNB The LNB (Low Noise Block Converter) is located at the focal point of a satel-

lite antenna. The LNB converts the satellite frequencies into lower frequencies

which can be processed by a satellite receiver.

Multi-switch A multi-switch distributes the signals supplied by the LNB to the various different

satellite receivers.

Multi-feed

reception

Multiple satellites are received simultaneously at one satellite reception system.

NAS,

NAS hard

disk

An NAS (Network Attached Storage)/NAS hard disk is network storage which all

devices connected to the network can access.

NIT 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

nd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 NTFS (New Technology File System

)isaproprietaryMicrosoftlesystem.

OTR OTR (One-Touch Recording) enables the programme currently being broadcast

to be recorded – including retrospectively. See 5.12, P. 39 ff for more informa-

tion.

About these instructions

Pay TV Subscription TV channels. To receive pay TV channels, a chargeable subscrip-

tion must have been paid to the pay TV provider.

PIP With the PIP (Picture In Picture) display, a second, small image is shown so two

programmes/recordings can be watched at the same time.

Reception

level

Satellite signals are transmitted on four reception levels: horizontal high, hori-

zontal low, vertical high, vertical low.

Satellite

antenna

Within this document, satellite antenna means a parabolic antenna (parabolic

reector,"satellitedish").

S/PDIF 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 SCART (Syndicat des Constructeurs d‘Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Télévi-

seurs) is a European standard for connecting audio and video units via a 21-pin

plug-connection cable.

Timeshift 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.

Transponder See Transponder Frequency.

Transponder

frequency

A transponder is a frequency converter within the satellite, which broadcasts the

TVandradiosignalstoearthataspecicTransponder Frequency. Each satel-

lite 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 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.
