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

Examples: BACK rather than , MENU rather than 
●The following buttons must be pressed as standard. Their operation is only described in cer-
tain places by way of example:
–  highlight an item (programme, menu, list, etc.)

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.

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.

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.

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
