Preface
Dear customer,
This operating manual is intended to help you make the
fullest use of the extensive range of functions offered by
your new satellite 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 a longer period, you
should use the power switch to disconnect it from the power
supply and save energy. For shorter breaks, you can switch
the receiver to standby on the remote control, which uses
only a minimal amount of energy.
We wish you good reception and much pleasure using your
new DVB satellite receiver.
Yours,
The KATHREIN team
Important Information
The channels available on the satellites and transponders
are subject to continual change. If changes do occur, the
new channels have to be set in the receiver because the
factory preset programming corresponds to the status on
the date of manufacture. The information for these settings
can be found on the Internet or in relevant magazines.
Your receiver is factory fitted with the latest software
version. We are, however, constantly working on adapting
the software to the wishes of our customers and to
developments in technology. The “Software and Channel
List Update” section contains additional information.
Please keep the original packaging in case you need
to return the product at any time!
Make a note of the receiver’s basic settings, so as to
be able to restore them if necessary!

Connection and set-up
The following section is intended specifically for specialist
dealers. You only need to pay attention to this section if you
are carrying out the installation yourself.
The “Connection examples” section provides a sample
configuration.
Do not connect the unit to the mains until all installation
work has been properly carried out.
Refer to the information in the “Safety instructions” section.
Connecting the unit
Sat IF Connections Connect the Sat IF inputs on the receiver to the satellite
reception system.
Use coaxial cable with an F standard connector.
If the F standard connectors are not yet fitted on the cable,
strip the insulation from the cable as shown in the following
illustration and carefully twist the F standard connectors
onto the ends of the cables until they are securely fitted.
When fitting the connector, make sure that no wires from
the braiding are touching the inner conductor, so no short
circuit can occur.
The quality of the reception signal depends on the
connection.
Reception requirements
Make sure that your own satellite antenna system is
equipped at least with a universal LNB for digital reception
in the high-band range.
Reception system presets
The presets for the control signals have been made for
standard reception systems, i.e. 14/18 V for polarity reversal
and 22 kHz switching signal for low/high band changeover
on multi-feed reception systems.
The preset will need to be changed in the installation menu
under “DiSEqC™” if tone burst switching matrices are
used in the reception system. Refer to the section headed
“Installation menu”, “DiSEqC™”. Always follow the operating
instructions for the matrix used.
