Preface<br />

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 Requirements<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.

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 />

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 />

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 />

addition to the other channels listed above, you must also<br />

perform the essential satellite scan described on page 2 for the<br />

“HOTBIRD 13° East” satellite.<br />

However, as you initially only have the possibility to run the scan<br />

for one or all satellites, you must select the “All satellites” option<br />

(taking around 1 hour).<br />

If you have already started the scan for the “ASTRA” satellite<br />

alone, you will not see this scan prompt. You can still run the<br />

scan for the “HOTBIRD 13° East” satellite too, though, as<br />

described in the “<strong>Sat</strong>ellite Scan” section. You do not need to<br />

perform a factory reset!<br />

Hard Disk Capacity<br />

You can allocate one or more satellites to each tuner (provided you<br />

have a DiSEqC system).<br />

In the “Loop” setting, you must connect one tuner output to the input<br />

of the other.<br />

The setting you select for “tuner input” will depend on your reception<br />

system. In case of doubt, consult your specialist dealer so that you<br />

can use your receiver optimally.<br />

Your receiver also enables you to record encrypted programmes (with<br />

or without a CAM and Smartcard).<br />

For playback, the CAM and Smartcard must be inserted. Encrypted<br />

recordings are identified by a $ sign in the hard disk contents.<br />

In order to convert an encrypted recording into an unencrypted<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 />

are already inactive cannot be changed. If you only want to update the<br />

software but leave your channel list alone, deselect the “Channel List”<br />

field, or vice versa. You can also request “Info Text” only.<br />

To update, move the cursor bar to “Start” and confirm with . The<br />

receiver then begins the update and displays the following message<br />

where applicable:<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
