Preface<br />
Important Information<br />
Dear customer,<br />
This <strong>Operating</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> is intended to help you make the fullest use of<br />
the extensive range of functions offered by your new satellite receiver.<br />
We have tried to make the operating instructions as easy as possible<br />
to understand, and to keep them as concise as possible. To help you<br />
understand particular specialist terms that cannot be translated, we<br />
have added a short glossary at the end of the manual.<br />
The power switch is an environmentally friendly feature. If you will not<br />
be using your receiver for a longer period, you should therefore use<br />
the power switch to disconnect it from the power supply to save<br />
energy. For shorter breaks, you can switch the receiver to standby on<br />
the remote control, which uses only a minimal amount of energy.<br />
We wish you good reception and much pleasure using your new<br />
<strong>DVR</strong>-<strong>Sat</strong> receiver.<br />
Your<br />
KATHREIN Team<br />
If you should experience any unexpected problems with your receiver,<br />
please contact your specialist dealer or our hotline:<br />
Tel.: +49 8031 184-700<br />
Fax: +49 8031 184-676<br />
The programmes available on the satellites and transponders are<br />
subject to continual change. In such cases, it is necessary to reset the<br />
channels as the factory preset programming corresponds to the<br />
situation on the date of manufacture. The information for this reset can<br />
be found on the SAT 1 Videotext/Teletext service, on the Internet or in<br />
TV and radio magazines.<br />
Your receiver is factory fitted with the latest software version. We are,<br />
however, constantly working on adapting the software to the wishes of<br />
our customers and to developments in technology. The “Software and<br />
Channel List Update” section contains additional information.<br />
Please keep the original packaging in case you need to return the<br />
product at any time.<br />
The hard disks are fragile due to their construction and are only<br />
adequately protected in the receiver by the original packaging.<br />
If receiver is not shipped correctly the warranty on the hard disk<br />
will be voided.<br />

Remote control RC 660<br />
The UFD 580 has two separate tuners for simultaneous reception of<br />
two programmes, and a hard disk for recording and playback.<br />
Depending on constellation, you can<br />
• view one programme and record another to hard disk,<br />
• play back one programme from the hard disk and record one<br />
programme to hard disk, or<br />
• record two programmes to hard disk and play back one<br />
programme from the hard disk, or<br />
• record two programmes to hard disk and view a programme from<br />
one of the programme packages being received.<br />
To take advantage of all these opportunities, complex operating<br />
procedures are necessary. You should therefore read this operating<br />
manual thoroughly.<br />
The RC 660 remote control supports up to four devices as well as the<br />
receivers of the UFD 5xx (not UFD 552, 554, 558) and UFD 4xx<br />
families.<br />

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

Connection and Setup<br />
Operation on one Antenna Connection<br />
To enable you to utilise all the reception and recording properties of<br />
your UFD 580 twin-<strong>DVR</strong> <strong>Sat</strong> receiver, such as<br />
Coax cable with F connectors<br />
14<br />
1. recording one programme and at the same time viewing any<br />
other programme or zapping through the programmes, and<br />
2. recording two different programmes at the same time,<br />
the two tuner inputs of the <strong>Sat</strong> receiver must each be supplied with a<br />
dedicated satellite signal from the antenna system/<strong>Sat</strong> outlet.<br />
The receiver tuner inputs are factory preset on the installation menu<br />
for “#1 & #2” mode, meaning for two separate <strong>Sat</strong> antennas.<br />
If you only have one antenna connection available, we recommend<br />
you interconnect the output of tuner 1 and the input of tuner 2 by a<br />
coaxial cable with F connectors.<br />
Then “Loop” mode must be selected on the installation menu for the<br />
tuner input.<br />
You will find the “Tuner input” option by pressing the button. Then<br />
select “Installation”, “LNB configuration”, and confirm the satellite you<br />
are receiving by pressing . You can then make the settings here,<br />
though a restriction on this is that with tuner 2 you can only receive the<br />
additional programmes of the plane currently set by tuner 1 (e.g.<br />
Horizontal High).<br />
Note: This will only work when receiving one satellite, not in multifeed<br />
reception!<br />
If only tuner 1 is connected (with no connection to tuner 2), the setting<br />
“#1” must be selected for the tuner input. You can then have only the<br />
possibilities offered by a normal “single” receiver available to you.<br />
If this setting is not made, malfunctions will occur and the following<br />
message will be displayed:<br />
Weak signal or no signal!
Connection and Setup<br />
TV and Video Recorder Connection<br />
Audio Connection<br />
Connect the satellite receiver (TV Scart socket) and the TV set by a<br />
Scart cable (see “Connection example”).<br />
If your TV has a stereo feature, you can receive the sound in stereo<br />
via the Scart connection.<br />
Connect the satellite receiver (VCR/AUX Scart socket) and the video<br />
recorder likewise by a Scart cable.<br />
For system reasons, the same video signals are to be found on the<br />
Scart outputs and on the video cinch output.<br />
If you are recording using an external video recorder, remember not to<br />
operate the receiver during recording, otherwise all the on-screen<br />
displays will appear on your recording.<br />
If you want to play the sound on your hi-fi system, connect the audio<br />
cinch sockets to the input sockets on the hi-fi system with an<br />
appropriate cable (see “Connection example”).<br />
SPDIF Connections (Electrical/Optical)<br />
The electrical SPDIF cinch output and the optical output are for<br />
connection to a Dolby digital system (see “Connection example”).<br />
Inserting Batteries in the Remote Control<br />
Remove the cover on the rear of the remote control.<br />
Insert the two supplied batteries into the remote control. Ensure<br />
correct polarity of the batteries; the + and – markings are indicated<br />
inside the battery compartment.<br />
Slide the cover back into the housing until it locks in place.<br />
Used batteries are special waste.<br />
Do not throw used batteries into your household waste; take them to a<br />
collection point for old batteries.<br />
Electronic equipment is not household waste - in accordance with<br />
directive 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE<br />
COUNCIL dated 27 th January 2003 on used electrical and electronic<br />
equipment, it must be disposed of properly.<br />
At the end of its service life, take this unit for disposal at a designated<br />
public collection point.<br />

Connect the unit to the mains power supply.<br />
Switch on the receiver by pressing the power button on the front of the<br />
unit.<br />
The LED shows “- - - - ”.<br />
The operation indicator LED lights up red, the unit is in standby.<br />
Switch on the receiver by pressing the button on the remote<br />
control.<br />
The red LED on the front panel of the receiver flashes each time a<br />
button on the remote control is pressed.<br />
The screen displays the factory preset programme. In the bottom<br />
section of the screen is an information bar showing the name of the<br />
programme provider, the time, the timer settings, the programme<br />
status and title, provided those details are being broadcast. The LED<br />
display indicates the programme's memory location number.<br />
The red standby indicator goes out.<br />
You can now receive the factory preset TV and radio programmes and<br />
call them up by pressing the buttons. Press (blue) and to select<br />
radio programmes. Press the blue button again to return to the TV<br />
programmes.<br />
For details of how to save additional TV and radio programmes, refer<br />
to the "TV/Radio Programme Lists" section.<br />
Please check the time is correct according to whether you are on<br />
Summer or Winter time.<br />
When you switch on, the last reception status set is always<br />
restored.<br />
After a power failure, the receiver automatically powers up,<br />
obtains the time from the reception signal and then returns to<br />
standby. This preserves the timer settings.<br />
If the message “Weak signal or no signal” appears on the screen as<br />
well as the display for the last programme received, check the<br />
installation of the system and/or the receiver settings. If this only<br />
affects individual programme slots, there may be an interrupted signal<br />
from the programme provider or a fault in the reception system (cable<br />
or satellite system).<br />
First of all, check the connection configuration and whether the default<br />
receiver settings are correct for your system. In case of doubt, consult<br />
a specialist engineer.
Initial Setup<br />
<strong>Receiver</strong> Presetting<br />
Your receiver is factory pre-programmed to receive the ASTRA<br />
(19° East/28°East) and HotBird satellites, as well as Eutelsat 10E and<br />
16E, Turk<strong>Sat</strong> 42E, Telecom 5W and 8W, and others. You do not<br />
normally need to make any additional settings. If you are not<br />
connected to a communal system, you will need a multifeed<br />
arrangement with at least two LNBs in front of the satellite dish in<br />
order to receive multiple satellite systems. Consult your specialist<br />
dealer on this.<br />
Before you change the basic settings of your receiver, write down the<br />
settings on the form provided at the end of this operating manual. You<br />
will then be able to restore the original settings at any time.<br />

Error Signalling<br />
Press to quit the help function and return to the main menu. Press<br />
again to return to the original programme you were receiving.<br />
<br />
The channel identifier is displayed for a few seconds each time you<br />
change the programme or constantly if you press the button. The i<br />
indicates that a channel is being received even if no picture can be<br />
seen (e.g. radio). The TV symbol indicates a TV channel - adjacent to<br />
it is the selected programme, whether Videotext/Teletext is being<br />
received, and the current time. The + on the third line indicates the<br />
programme selection from the master list. If the Favourites list is<br />
selected, the “apple” symbol appears here. This is followed by the<br />
programme title, the start and end time of the current programme, and<br />
the next programme, if this data is being transmitted.<br />
The message for the set radio channel has the same layout. A radio<br />
receiver symbol in the top left-hand corner indicates that it is a radio<br />
channel.<br />
“Weak signal or no signal” indicates that an error has occurred in the<br />
reception system or in the receiver settings, or that the transponder is<br />
not sending. The channel identifier shows a satellite antenna instead<br />
of the i. Check the <strong>Sat</strong> IF connection and the LNB configuration. The<br />
list of service settings at the end of this manual can be used to help<br />
you do this.<br />

Selecting a TV Programme<br />
Reception Status<br />
22<br />
This section describes how you select TV programmes with your<br />
receiver and how you can set the desired volume.<br />
The description of the functions assumes that the receiver has been<br />
properly connected.<br />
If you wish to connect up the receiver yourself, please read the<br />
“Connection and Setup” section first.<br />
The following information describes how to select other programmes<br />
and what the on-screen displays look like.<br />
To select additional TV programmes in ascending or descending order<br />
in the programme memory, simply press the buttons after turning on<br />
the receiver.<br />
Every time you press the button, an on-screen display shows you the<br />
selected programme together with the time, the programme start and<br />
end times and the programme title on an info bar, provided the<br />
relevant data is being broadcast.<br />
You can permanently show or hide this info bar by pressing the <br />
button.<br />
Encrypted programmes are indicated by the message “Encrypted<br />
channel”:<br />
To view these programmes you will need an authorisation<br />
card - a PCMCIA card or Smartcard - from the Pay TV provider<br />
(see “Common Interface” section).<br />
The CA module and Smartcard are not included in the supply<br />
package.
Channel List<br />
Pay attention to the<br />
bar at the bottom of<br />
the on-screen display!<br />
It provides guidance<br />
on what to do next.<br />
A further option for selecting a different programme is to press the <br />
button. The TV channel list is then displayed. The top right-hand<br />
column provides information relating to the satellite being received,<br />
the transponder and its transmission frequency, the polarisation, the<br />
symbol rate and the encryption. The left-hand column shows the<br />
programme location and name, the type of signal being received<br />
(FTA/encrypted), the favourites, and any locked channels.<br />
Press the buttons to move to the next programme, and use the<br />
buttons to jump to the next or previous page.<br />
<br />
Selecting a TV Programme by Number<br />
You can also select a programme by entering a number.<br />
Press the button to exit the programme list and return to the<br />
programme already selected.<br />
You can select a different TV programme while a programme is<br />
running by entering the new programme's location number. Use the<br />
number pad buttons to Example:<br />
to enter the programme locations.<br />
You want to select "DSF“ at location number 15 (the order of TV<br />
programmes is fixed in the programme memory, so this only serves as<br />
an example).<br />
To select this programme, press the numbers and <br />
one after<br />
the other. The receiver waits for about two seconds for input of the<br />
next number.<br />
Do not input leading zeroes in front of the number. The 0 button<br />
is reserved for switching to AV mode.<br />
The procedure for all other programmes - including those with three-<br />
or four-digit location numbers - is exactly the same.<br />
23
Channel List<br />
Switching to a Radio Programme<br />
You can switch from a TV programme to a radio programme<br />
24<br />
by pressing the blue button.<br />
The receiver switches to the last radio programme selected. The onscreen<br />
display relating to the programme is shown, just as for a TV<br />
programme. The LED shows a small “r” together with the<br />
programme's location number. You can return to the TV programme<br />
by pressing the same button.<br />
All the functions, such as the channel list, work in the same way in<br />
radio mode as in TV mode.
Common Interface<br />
Common Interface<br />
Follow the instructions given by your Pay TV provider.<br />
The Common Interface for insertion of two so-called Conditional<br />
Access modules is located underneath the front flap.<br />
The Smartcard sold by the Pay TV provider, specific to a particular<br />
encryption technology, is inserted into the CA module. The card is not<br />
included in the receiver package.<br />
The cards and modules are issued by the respective Pay TV<br />
providers, and contain the subscriber data and details of the<br />
programmes for which the subscriber has paid. These programmes<br />
are always encrypted.<br />
Contact the Pay TV provider if you are interested in subscribing to a<br />
particular Pay TV channel.<br />
You alone are responsible for use of the cards.<br />
Keep the card and the associated PIN code in a safe placing when not<br />
in use.<br />
When you turn on the receiver, the following message appears:<br />
A CA module must be inserted for the message to appear, however.<br />
You can find out which card is inserted in the Common Access<br />
module by selecting “Common Interface” from the main menu and<br />
confirming by pressing .<br />
The screenshots below depend on the specific module and card,<br />
and so are only intended as examples.<br />
Press to access a menu generated by the module.<br />
25
Common Interface<br />
26<br />
From this menu, your card and your PIN code allow you to access<br />
various programmes from your Pay TV provider.<br />
“CryptoWorks” has been selected as an example here. The<br />
details may vary for each CA module.<br />
The displays appear in English, even if you have selected German as<br />
the menu language for the receiver.<br />
Please always follow the instructions supplied by your Pay TV<br />
provider.<br />
Information for Conax, SECA, Viaccess and CryptoWorks users:<br />
Note that with monthly activation intervals, the programme providers<br />
have different procedures for activating Pay TV cards. Activation may<br />
therefore be a few days before or after the beginning of a new month.<br />
During this activation period, the CA module and card must be in the<br />
slot, and the receiver must be turned on a set to the booked Pay TV<br />
channel. Follow the instructions from the Pay TV provider.<br />
For monthly subscription extensions, the card can be re-initialised by<br />
way of the CAM "CAM Re-initialisation" menu.<br />
If your Pay TV card is then still not enabled, we recommend you<br />
briefly withdraw the CA module with the card out of the slot, with the<br />
receiver switched on, and then re-insert it.<br />
This information has nothing to do with the properties of the unit; it is<br />
merely intended to assist you.

Accessing the TVTV EPG for the First Time<br />
To ensure the functionality of the<br />
EPG, the satellite scan<br />
for the ASTRA satellite (with<br />
multifeed reception: for “All<br />
satellites”) must be run. This<br />
process downloads the<br />
necessary signal identifiers for<br />
the EPG (SID, TSID<br />
and OID).<br />
The EPG is a latest-generation Electronic Programme Guide<br />
replacing the existing EPG and the timer menu. It provides all the EPG<br />
information for around 60 TV channels at no charge, without you<br />
having to change programme, and also offers schedule information up<br />
to a week ahead (depending on programme provider).<br />
Press to access the EPG. The first time you access it<br />
(and following a factory reset) you see the following on-screen display:<br />

Example of series recording:<br />
Note: If every edition or episode of a series is programmed to be recorded<br />
using the “Series recording” function, the EPG locates the<br />
series in question in the updated schedules and automatically<br />
programmes recording of them. A change in the time the series is<br />
broadcast is no problem for the EPG, as its programming is<br />
based on the series title. This does, however, mean that the schedule<br />
change needs to have been notified prior to the last update of the<br />
EPG.<br />
Timer List<br />
The timer list (recording schedule) is accessed by pressing the red <br />

TVTV EPG and Timer<br />
Important Additional Information<br />
• If a satellite scan is carried out or programmes supported by<br />
the EPG are moved around the programme list, the<br />
change is only visible in the EPG following an update.<br />
To update, the receiver must be switched to standby mode<br />
( appears on the display). As soon as it disappears<br />
from the display the EPG is updated.<br />
• The button does not become active until 15-20 seconds<br />
after the picture appears on the TV.<br />
• The EPG‘ update is only started if no timer recording<br />
is programmed within the next hour.<br />
• The EPG is broadcast over the ASTRA satellite at the<br />
•<br />
frequency of 12,603.75 MHz, with a symbol rate of 22<br />
MSymb/s and horizontal polarisation (18 V). If you have<br />
accidentally deleted the transponder at this frequency, you will<br />
need to start a new satellite and transponder scan for the<br />
ASTRA satellite (see “<strong>Sat</strong>ellite Search”).<br />
If a factory reset is performed, the information contained in the<br />
EPG is also deleted. To restore the data required for<br />
the EPG, you must run a satellite scan and then switch<br />
the receiver to standby mode to update the EPG data.<br />
As soon as the disappears from the receiver display<br />
the EPG is updated.<br />
• Digital-compatible single-cable solutions, such as “Technisat<br />
DisiCon 4 LNB”, do not permit transmission of the EPG<br />
data, because the necessary transponder (12,603.75 MHz,<br />
symbol rate 22 MSymb/s, horizontal) is not transmitted in that<br />
system. This transponder must not be deleted, as the<br />
EPG data is transmitted on it.<br />
• The EPG data is buffered on the hard disk, meaning<br />
•<br />
the hard disk is running even during normal SAT reception. Its<br />
running noise is much less than in recording or playback<br />
mode however. In addition, the hard disk emits a short noise<br />
every 10 minutes indicating an essential data balancing<br />
operation. This is quite normal, and does not need to concern<br />
you.<br />
At present it is only possible to scroll forward from the<br />
“Current” (Now playing) views in the EPG in 15-minute<br />
•<br />
blocks; it is not yet possible to access days ahead by a quick<br />
and easy route.<br />
To do so, press the button to access the “Highlights” view<br />
and use the arrow buttons to select the daily highlight tip<br />
displayed on the date you are looking for. You can now press<br />
the button again to switch to the “Current” view and you will<br />
then see the data for the day you want.<br />

Oscillator Frequency L.O.<br />
You should not change the following settings without a good reason,<br />
as they are factory settings or operating settings that are tailored to<br />
your reception system.<br />
New settings are only required if the reception system is changed or<br />
expanded.<br />
Select the “Installation” menu with the button, the buttons in<br />

enter it. Use the buttons to select the further items.<br />
The first submenu is the “LNB Configuration”. Press to open it.<br />
You should not normally make any changes in this submenu.<br />
Before making any changes, however, you should make a note of the<br />
settings in the form provided at the end of this manual. Your receiver<br />
is preset at the factory to the satellites of the ASTRA and HOTBIRD<br />
systems.<br />
The other basic settings are shown in the screenshot above.<br />
<strong>Sat</strong>ellite reception systems consist of a parabolic antenna attached to<br />
the actual reception system (LNB - Low Noise Blockconverter or<br />
LNC - Low Noise Converter), which converts the RF signal from the<br />
satellite into a lower frequency that can be processed by a satellite<br />
receiver.<br />
The satellite transmission frequencies are located in the following<br />
ranges:<br />
10.7-11.7 GHz Low band<br />
11.7-12.75 GHz High band
Installation Menu<br />
However, the input frequency range for the receiver is in the range<br />
950 to 2150 MHz. The high frequencies are therefore converted into a<br />
lower frequency using the oscillator frequency (LO frequency/<br />
L.O. = LNB local oscillator). Different oscillator frequencies are used<br />
for the conversion depending on the satellite frequency range and the<br />
system type.<br />
For ASTRA and EUTELSAT reception systems, this is normally<br />
9.75 GHz (9750 MHz) for the lower frequency range (low band) and<br />
10.6 GHz (10600 MHz) for the upper frequency range (high band).<br />
Older reception systems still use a 10 GHz oscillator frequency in the<br />
low band range (which is not normally suitable for digital reception).<br />
The receiver generates the frequency to which it needs to adjust by<br />
subtracting the oscillator frequency from the satellite transmission<br />
frequency saved for each programme. You only have to set the<br />
oscillator frequency used by your reception system. Before chancing<br />
the LO frequency, you must therefore ascertain whether this is<br />
actually necessary.<br />
The oscillator frequencies listed above are the factory settings.<br />
Changing the Oscillator Frequency<br />
Press to move to the right-hand section of the LNB configuration<br />
menu. The setting for L.O. High is highlighted in colour. You can now<br />
use the number buttons to enter a new frequency appropriate for your<br />
system. Use the buttons to select L.O. Low and do the same.<br />
Press four times to exit the menu. This saves the set value.<br />
If you make an incorrect setting, you will see the following message:<br />
Operation<br />
Receiving Two <strong>Sat</strong>ellites<br />
Weak signal or no signal<br />
The factory setting is “On”.<br />
Under normal circumstances, the supply voltage should be turned on.<br />
If your receiver is connected to a multi-feed antenna, which is aligned<br />
with the HotBird satellites for example, you must change the receiver<br />
settings for the DiSEqC signal. This also applies to other satellites<br />
as well of course (DiSEqC = Digital <strong>Sat</strong>ellite Equipment Control).<br />
Different control signals are required to select the satellite signals. To<br />
date, the LNB supply voltage of 14/18 V and the 22 kHz signal<br />
(superimposed on the LNB supply voltage) have been sufficient for<br />
signal selection for most applications. These four switching signals<br />
allow you to switch between the horizontally and vertically polarised<br />
signals and between two satellites (multi-feed reception).<br />
To extend the frequency range to the 12 GHz range (high band) or for<br />
reception from more than two satellites, additional control signals are<br />
required for LNB actuation and signal selection.<br />
The DiSEqC signal is responsible for this. This is a special<br />
modulation of the existing 22 kHz signal.<br />

Once the update is complete, the receiver is re-initialised and starts<br />
operation again. In case of an error or no signal, the message<br />
“Download failed” appears.<br />
Never turn off the receiver during the update process, as otherwise<br />
you could lose the entire software. If this happened, the receiver<br />
would have to be re-installed at the factory or using a PC and zeromodem<br />
cable. During the download “Please wait” flashes on-screen.<br />

Your receiver is able to receive data from another receiver via its<br />
RS232 port. For this, the two receivers are interconnected via a socalled<br />
zero-modem cable. The transmitting receiver is the “master”,<br />
and the receiving receiver is the "slave".<br />
The master and slave are first switched to standby mode and then<br />
disconnected from the mains by pressing the power switch.<br />
The data ports of the two receivers are interconnected by a zeromodem<br />
cable.<br />
The master is then switched on again.<br />
Simultaneously press (left arrow button) and “SELECT” under the<br />
front flap of the master to transfer the programme list.<br />
The slave can now be switched on. The transfer begins.<br />
During downloading, the display of the master shows “t001 t002 ..<br />
t00n”, while the slave correspondingly shows “r001 r002..r00n”.<br />
The LED displays “----” during the block transfer.<br />
If both receivers indicate “Succ”, the download was successful.<br />
The procedure for downloading the operating system software is the<br />
same as that described above.<br />
Start the transfer of the operating system software by simultaneously<br />
pressing (right arrow button) and “SELECT” under the front flap of<br />
the master.<br />
During downloading, the display of the master shows “t001 t002 ..<br />
t00n”, while the slave correspondingly shows “r001 r002..r00n”.<br />
The LED displays “----” during the block transfer.<br />
If both receivers indicate “Succ”, the download was successful.<br />
If any problems occur in transmission, the master display will show<br />
“F * * *”, with * representing a numerical value. In such cases, check<br />
the cable connection and retry.<br />
The receiver to receiver data exchange as described above must<br />
only be carried out between devices of the same type, otherwise<br />
malfunctions or total loss of the operating system software may<br />
occur.<br />
On no account may the receivers be switched off or the connection<br />
interrupted during data transfer. This may result in data loss,<br />
malfunctions or total failure of the operating system.<br />
Always wait until the “Succ” or “F * * *” message appears on the<br />
display.

PID<br />
DiSEqC (Digital <strong>Sat</strong>ellite Equipment Control) is a communication<br />
system between a satellite receiver (master) and the peripheral<br />
satellite components (slaves), such as LNBs, multi-switches, rotating<br />
antenna systems.<br />
It is a single master/multi-slave system, i.e. there is only ever one<br />
master in the satellite system. All activities start from the master.<br />
If DiSEqC switching matrices are cascaded, the master receiver<br />
must transmit the DiSEqC signal several times, so that all<br />
DiSEqC multi-switches in the cascade receive their commands.<br />
These days, DiSEqC components (slaves) must be reverse<br />
compatible, i.e. respond to the analogue switching criteria from<br />
receivers that are only equipped with H/V and 22 kHz control signals.<br />
A DiSEqC switching matrix will work with analogue switching critiera<br />
until the DiSEqC command from the master is received. All<br />
analogue switching criteria are then ignored.<br />
DVB is the abbreviation for Digital Video Broadcasting. DVB-S refers<br />
to the transmission method (S = satellite). MPEG is the abbreviation<br />
for Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group that formulates<br />
internationally applicable standards for the digital compression of<br />
video and audio. MPEG-2 has established itself as the standard for<br />
compression of digital TV signals. MPEG-2 works up to a data rate of<br />
100 MBit/s.<br />
The EB/NO ratio is a measure of the signal to noise ratio of a digital<br />
signal. The value is not identical to the C/N value familiar from<br />
analogue reception technology. At EB/NO values below 5 dB no<br />
reception is normally possible.<br />
FEC is the abbreviation for Forward Error Correction. The FEC error<br />
rate corresponds to the Viterbi rate.<br />
One Touch Recording<br />
The PID (Packet IDentification) number is an identification number for<br />
video signals and audio signals in the digital data stream of DVB-<br />
MPEG-2 signals. The receiver uses the PID number to create a<br />
unique assignment for the video and audio data transmission. The<br />

PCR PID is the identification number for the synchronisation signal.<br />
The PCR PID is normally identical to the video PID. For programmes<br />
broadcast in multiple languages, the audio PID can be entered<br />
manually to assign a different language to the TV programme. After<br />
the PID is entered, the digital receiver automatically selects the audio<br />
data identified by the PID number from the data stream and assigns it<br />
to the video signal.<br />
The programme package for a digital transponder normally includes<br />
several TV and radio programmes. Each programme package has a<br />
fixed assignment for the transponder transmission frequency, for<br />
polarisation (horizontal or vertical), for the symbol rate and for the<br />
Viterbi rate or error rate.<br />
Picture In Picture function<br />
The symbol rate describes the quantity of data that is transmitted per<br />
second. The symbol rate is measured in MSymbols/s and is equal to<br />
the number of symbols received per second.<br />
A transponder is a satellite channel which transmits TV and radio<br />
signals. A satellite has several transponders.<br />
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV programme and possibly<br />
multiple radio programmes on the transmission frequency.<br />
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and several<br />
radio programmes at a transmission frequency. If a programme<br />
provider is broadcasting several TV programmes via a digital<br />
transponder, we refer to the provider's programme package. The<br />
terms “digital transponder” and “programme package” have the same<br />
meaning.<br />
The video bit rate describes the quantity of data from the digitised<br />
video signal that is transmitted per second.<br />
The Viterbi rate (code rate, error rate) characterises the error<br />
protection used by the programme provider. The DVB standard<br />
provides the following values: 1/2 - 2/3 - 3/4 - 5/6 - 7/8
