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 cable receiver.
We have tried to make the operating instructions as easy as possible to understand, and to keep them as
concise as possible.
If you will not be using your receiver for an extended period, you should use the power switch to disconnect
it from the power supply to 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 wish you good reception and much pleasure using your new DVB C receiver.
Your
KATHREIN team
The receivers UFC 762si and UFC 762sw are suitable for the reception of digital cable TV and radio
channels.
The decoding systems for Conax and Cryptoworks are already integrated. In addition one Common Interface
for a CA module is provided for decoding additional Pay-TV channels.
Despite their small size, these receivers have a comprehensive range of features, such as electrical and
optical audio output for Dolby Digital (AC 3), Teletext with memory for 800 pages, and a 16-character
alphanumeric display for showing the channel names.

The channels available are subject to continual change in the cable network. Accordingly it is necessary
to update the channel presets when changes are made. The information for this reset 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 Update” section provides more information on this.
Please keep the original packaging in case you need to return the product at any time.
In order to disconnect the UFC 762 from the mains completely, the mains plug must be
unplugged from the wall socket! Therefore place the UFC 762 near to a wall socket and
make sure the socket is accessible, so that at any time (e.g. during a thunderstorm or
during a long absence) you can disconnect the receiver from the mains.

CONNECTION AND SET-UP
The following section is intended specifically for specialist dealers. You need not refer to this section
unless you are carrying out the installation yourself. The “Connection Example” section provides a
sample configuration.
Do not connect the receiver to the mains until all installation work has been properly carried out. Refer also
to the information in the “Safety Instructions” section.
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER
Connect the RF input of the receiver to the antenna socket.
Use a coaxial cable with a standard IEC connector. If the IEC connector is not yet fitted to the cable, strip the
insulation from the cable as shown in the following illustration and carefully fit the connector on to the end of
the cable so that it is securely fitted.
RF(HF) CONNECTION
TV CONNECTION
Connect the cable receiver (TV Scart socket) to the TV set using a Scart cable. If your TV has a stereo
feature, you can receive the sound in stereo via the Scart connection. Connect the cable receiver to the
video/DVD recorder using a Scart cable.
INSERTING BATTERIES INTO THE REMOTE CONTROL
Remove the cover on the rear of the remote control.
Insert the two batteries supplied into the remote control. Ensure correct polarity of the batteries; the + and
– markings are indicated inside the battery compartment. Slide the cover back into the housing until it locks
into place.
When fitting the connector, make sure that no wires from the braiding are touching the
inner conductor, otherwise a short circuit will occur.
The quality of the reception signal depends on this connection!
