Foreword Foreword Dear customer, This User's Guide is designed to help you to use the extensive functions of your new satellite receiver most effectively. We have made every effort to make the instructions as clear and understandable as possible and to keep them as short as necessary. You will find a small glossary of terms at the end of the User's Guide to facilitate understanding of certain technical expressions that do not lend themselves to translation. We have designed the power switch specifically with the environment in mind. Therefore, in order to save electricity, disconnect your receiver from the mains if you will not be watching TV for a longer period of time. For shorter periods you can switch the receiver to standby with the remote control to reduce power consumption to a minimum. We wish you the very best reception and great pleasure with your new DVB Sat receiver. Your KATHREIN Team
Important notes Should you, contrary to all expectations, experience problems with your receiver, please contact your dealer. Changes keep on being made with regard to the channel arrangement of the satellites and transponders. Accordingly it is necessary in such cases to reset the channel settings, although the pre-programming in the factory always corresponds to the latest status. You can take the information for this new setting from the SAT.1 video text, from the Internet or the corresponding periodicals. Your receiver was equipped ex works with the latest software in each case. However, we are constantly endeavouring to adapt the software to the wishes of our customers and the state of the art. You will find further information about this in the “Software and channel list update” section. Please keep the original packaging for possible return shipment!
The UFD 506 is intended only for free channels - no CI shaft! The UFD 516 CI receives free and encrypted channels (page 34).

Channel Selection Channel Selection
Channel selection by number buttons [P+], [P-] and list You set the channel by direct entry of the channel number with the number buttons (0 is also a channel number). You switch on/back to the next/previous channel with the [P+]/[P-] buttons. A list sorted according to channel numbers is displayed after you press the [OK] button twice. You can select the channel you want with the [◄]/[►] and [▲]/[▼] buttons and then with the [OK] button. If you press the [OK] button once again or the [EXIT] button, the list disappears.
You can sort the channel list alphabetically with the i button, this simplifies locating channels. The channel list is displayed again in the order of the channel numbers if you press the i button once again.
“Last programme” with [EXIT] button You can change between the two last set programmes with the [EXIT] button.
“Zapper function” with the [OK] and [◄] [▲] [►] [▼] buttons The last four programmes which were viewed for at least 5 seconds are filed automatically in a memory. The programmes stored this way can be selected directly with [OK] and then using the arrow buttons [◄], [►], [▲] or [▼]. You can quickly relocate a programme you have left during an advertising break with the aid of this function.
Channel administration with channel pool and 10 favourite banks Digital television brings you as viewer a large number of new channels. Already far more than 1,200 TV and more than 600 radio channels can be received with a satellite reception system, which is designed for instance for receiving the ASTRA 19° east and EUTELSAT/HOT-BIRD 13° east satellites. It is true that more than one half of these channels are encrypted and can be decoded only with corresponding CA modules, but an extensive number of channels that have to be administered still remains. In addition, the channels of a further six satellites are pre-programmed in the receiver. To be able to control this range of channels and to keep it manageable, the memory for the TV channels is divided into two areas – into a so-called channel pool with 2,000 storage places and into 10 associated favourite banks with 1,000 storage spaces in each case. 10
Channel Selection The radio channels are organized identically, i.e. there is a separate channel pool for 2,000 radio storage places and a further 10 associated radio favourite banks with 1,000 places each. Note: Please note that after a satellite, transponder or manual search, the newly found channels are stored in the channel pool under “New free” or “New CA”. You will find all channels of the channel pool in the right selection window in the “Channel arrangement” menu. Select the “All Free” or “All CA” (CA stands for ‘Conditional Access’, i.e. for encrypted channels) with the TE button if you want to copy a channel from the channel pool into one of the favourite banks. Both the previous (= old) channels as well as the new channels found by a preceding search are located in the “All Free” and “All CA” selection. After a search it is advantageous to make the “New free” or “New CA” selection with the TV button, since only the channels found newly by the search are listed here. With the [P-] or [P+] buttons you can select and assess the channels and if you like them copy them with the [TEXT] button into one or else into several of your favourite banks (you will find further details about this below). The favourite banks are currently pre-programmed ex works as follows (changes reserved): Favourite Bank F0: General F1: News F2: Sports F3: Music F4: Travel F5: Shopping F6: ITALY F7: AUSTRIA
F8: SPAIN F9: Bank-9
Available channels The most important free channels of ASTRA 19° east and EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° east are located at the beginning of the list. Channels of further satellites then follow. Selection of news channels (Phoenix, n-TV, N-24 …) Selection of sports channels (DSF, Eurosport …) Selection of music channels (MTV, VIVA …) Selection of channels from various travel destinations Selection of advertising and sales channels Channels of EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° Contains all channels from F0: General (only for UFD 516) In addition: ORF 1 on channel place 1 (P001), ORF 2 on channel place 2 (P002) and the local channels on the following places. ARD is thus shifted to channel place 12 (P003). All following channels from F0: General are also shifted. Contains the channels of Hispasat 33° The favourite bank 9 contains PREMIERE channels (only UFD 516). You can also change the names of the favourite banks (see “Changing favourite names”) and/or change the arrangement of the favourite banks. It is also conceivable that family members create individual favourite banks with their names. It is also possible for users possessing more than two CA modules to sort names and contents of favourite banks according to programme providers or according to the relevant encryption system. You can achieve more clarity inside a favourite bank if you use “~~~~~~” as channel name. This is a “dummy” channel that you can use as placeholder. You will find this placeholder in the “Channel arrangement” menu with the TV button under “All Free”. Placeholders are “dummy” channels used to provide greater clarity in the arrangement of favourite banks, e.g. by forming channel groups. The display for placeholder channels is organized as follows: 11
Channel Selection Satellite 1 =
ASTRA 19
“~ ~~~~~~~”
Satellite 2 =
HOTBIRD 13
“~~ ~~~~~~” etc.
When alphabetically sorted, the placeholder channels appear at the end of the list. .... P095 Channel XXX P096 Channel YYY P097 Channel ZZZ P098 ~~~~~ P099 ~~~~~ P100 PREMIERE START P101 PREMIERE 1 P102 PREMIERE 2 .... The above example shows how a placeholder can be used, in order for instance to place the channels of a channel group in a certain memory place. The favourite banks are selected by pressing the F button followed by an assigned number button 0...9. Note: You see the following information in the display after a channel selection: F = free / $ = encrypted channel A = two or several language channels available ([OPT] button) Currently selected favourite bank One or several Dolby Digital channels available ([OPT] button) Channel place Satellite

.
Channel Selection Digital output The receiver has an audio output for the AC 3 format (Dolby Digital). Thus you have the possibility of bringing cine sound into your living room. Connect the digital audio output only with a corresponding system. Observe in any event the operating instructions of your Dolby Digital system. Only a few programme providers transmit the AC 3 format. If no AC 3 signal is received, you can only make the customary stereo or mono settings or select the languages that are also transmitted.
Digital/Analogue – Audio Mode In digital satellite technology picture and sound are generally transmitted in digital form (MPEG-coded). If the term “Analogue–Audio Mode” is used in this section, this means that the digital signals in the receiver are converted into analogue audio signals and made available in analogue form at the “Left” and “Right” Cinch sockets as well as at the TV and VCR Scart socket. On the other hand in the “Digital–Audio Mode” the signals are forwarded for decoding in digital form through the “Digital” Cinch socket to corresponding terminals, for example to a Dolby Surround system. Both 2-channel stereo signals (coded in PCM format) or else complex multi-channel surround signals (Dolby Digital/AC 3) can be transmitted at the digital socket. After you press the [OPT] button, the “Digital/Analogue-Audio-Mode” menu is displayed. You can use this menu as information display and exit it again immediately by pressing the [OPT] button again – or else change different settings.
Analogue outputs In the right-hand window you see the current signal status of the connections on the rear panel of your satellite receiver. You receive an analogue audio signal at the Cinch sockets and through the TV and VCR Scart sockets. Bilingual programmes are transmitted separately through the two “Left” and “Right” stereo channels. In this case you would hear for instance “German” on the left and “English” on the right loudspeaker. To
hear only one language, select “Mono-L” or “Mono-R” with the button and confirm your selection with the [OK] button. The current selection is highlighted white. However, most bilingual or multilingual programmes are transmitted through separate audio tracks. In this case it is shown in the left window e.g. under 1 = German and under 2 = English, in which case you can hear both languages in each case in stereo sound. Select the de-
sired language with the buttons and confirm your selection with the [OK] button. The currently selected language (or audio track) is highlighted white. The stereo display in the following figure means that only one language is transmitted in stereo. The contents in the left window are set by the broadcasting station – for instance in line 1 in the left window “Deutsch” or “ger” could also be displayed instead of “Stereo”.

Channel Selection
Digital output In the right window you see in each case the current signal status at the digital output (= digital Cinch socket).
If “PCM“ is displayed, then the digital signal is coded in the PCM format. If “AC 3” is displayed, then the audio signal is coded in the Dolby Digital format. Select, if offered, the desired language or audio track in the left win-
dow with the button and confirm your selection with the [OK] button. The currently selected audio track is highlighted white. The number of offered languages and audio tracks is set by the programme provider. In this case a PCM-coded language or audio track is always displayed. However, two or several PCM-coded language or audio tracks can also be offered with one or several AC 3-coded languages or audio tracks. In radio channels up to 20 PCM-coded audio tracks can be available which you can select with the ton.

Channel Selection Timer The “Timer Programming” menu is selected in the main menu under item 5. Up to 8 timer events can be entered optionally with TV or radio channels. Note:
Please note that in the selection “VCR Record = Standard” the video recorder must also be set to identical recording times (see also signal paths / VCR record).
Note:
Please note that no remote control commands are accepted during a timer recording, so that OSD picture displays are not recorded unintentionally. The volume is switched to full level for recording. As indication that a timer recording is active, “r E c” is displayed on the programme display on the receiver if a command is received from the remote control.

[EXIT] After entering {Date}, {Start}, {Stop} and {Channel} you can leave and acknowledge the timer menu with [EXIT] or enter further switch-on events. The data from the programme preview can be transferred to the recording timer at the push of a button. If a programme preview is available, select the desired programme and transfer the data with the red button [●] directly into the timer. Deleting timer programming: [1-8] Select the timer line to be deleted with the number buttons [1]-[8] or with [▼] or [▲] 15
Channel Selection Note: Note:
[OK] and delete the programmed data with the [OK] button. If you have deleted a line inadvertently and want to restore the original information, exit the timer menu by pressing the [EXIT] button twice. Time and date are taken from the DVB data transmitted by the broadcasting station. When changing over from summer time to winter time and vice versa please correct the “Time offset” in the “Installation” menu. For MEZ summer time = {+2 h} For MEZ winter time = {+1 h} Please note that some “exotic channels” transmit no correct time. Check the date and time in the “Programming Timer” menu when you perform programming.
EPG – Electronic Programme Guide (base navigator) Information on the current and following programme are displayed in the EPG (Electronic Programme Guide). The extent of this information accompanying the programme is determined by the relevant programme provider and differs very much from channel to channel. Many programmes are also broadcast without useful additional information (SI data). It is also similar with the programme preview. Some programme providers transmit no data, others already transmit a programme preview with additional information up to a few days in advance. You call up and also exit again the EPG programme information with the [EPG] button. a) Current and next programme [EPG] shows title, start and end of the current programme and, according to programme provider, further information on the programme.
Pressing the [EPG] button once again shows title, start and end of the next programme and, according to programme provider, further information about the programme. You exit the programme information again with [EPG]. You exit the programme information immediately with [EXIT]. b) Further programme preview and additional information [EPG] activate base navigator, display information on the current programme. [OK] select programme preview. According to programme provider you receive a programme list for the current day or over several days in advance. 16
Channel Selection You can switch forwards or backwards line by line or page by page to the desired programme with the [▼] [▲] or [►] [◄] buttons. Once you have selected the programme you want, you can call up further detailed information with the [OK] button. You receive a corresponding message if no additional information is available.
If the text of the additional information goes over more than one page, then you can switch on or back line by line with the [▼] [▲] buttons. You exit the additional information display with the [OK] button or with [EXIT] and return to the programme preview.

You accept the channel selected in the source with the [TV/R] button (= copy – blue arrow).
Deletion
You move the channel to be deleted with the button (or by entering the channel number) into the green bar and then with the [PIP] button into the clipboard. You exit the menu with [EXIT] and confirm “Save change” with [OK]. Note:
“Deleted channels” are only removed from the favourite bank, they therefore continue to be in the channel pool and can thus be reinserted at any time! The search run also finds channels containing no usable TV programme. A test picture for instance can therefore be detected in advance and cannot be inadvertently entered into one of the channel lists.
Note:
The transparency of the display can be switched between variable and fixed (fixed is opaque) with the [■] button. The transparency can be increased or reduced with the [◄] [►] buttons in the ‘var’ mode. This function is very helpful when sorting and copying channels, since at high transparency a fast assessment regarding nature and contents of the channel is possible.

Here the channel pool activated by [MENU] and [TEXT] can be cleared up, i.e. either all “not used” channels or else all displayed channels can be deleted.
Antenna signal and reception parameters - Button [i]
You can align your parabolic antenna optimally as required in the “Signal” submenu with button [i]. Turn the antenna so that an optimum is shown in the scales for field strength and reception quality. With very weak signals the field strength scale can also go to “0” – in this case you optimise the signal with the scale for the reception quality. If the “No signal” text is displayed and only the signal for the field strength is displayed, then the antenna is possibly aligned to a (not receivable) satellite for analogue signals. The field strength or reception quality is in this case displayed on the 7-segment display of the receiver. 20

Parental Control The five-digit parental control code (PIN) is set to 00000 in the condition on delivery. Changing the parental control code (PIN): Select the “Parental Control” menu with the button [4] under the main menu “Channel Arrangement”. Then enter the {PIN} input field with the button [2] or with the button [▼] and activate it with the [OK] button. Enter the “old” and your “new” PIN according to the following sequence. Please enter your current PIN (= 00000 at the first selection). Please enter the new PIN. Please repeat the new PIN. Caution!
Do not forget your PIN! It is possible to return to the condition on delivery only in the specialist workshop. All channels are free in the condition on delivery – but you can lock every individual channel against unauthorized access. The channels to be locked are marked with equal rights in the “Favourite Lists” or “Channel Pool” menus with the [II] button. For this purpose select “All Free” on the right-hand side and scroll through the list to the channels that you want to lock. In this case a “?” is placed in front of the current channel name. The next channel is selected, so that you can also mark several channels in sequence by pressing the [II] button repeatedly. To delete the marking again, press the [II] button once again at the desired channel. Example:
Sky News ? Super Action ? Super Spezial
Activating parental control To activate locking of the channels marked with “?”, switch the {Protection} input field in the “Parental Control” menu to “ON” and confirm on exiting the menu with the [OK] button. On selection of the marked channels, you are requested to enter your five-digit PIN:
Note:
Please note that with parental control activated, the “Favourite List”, “Channel Pool” and “Search” menus can be selected only after you have entered your five-digit PIN. 21
Menu Structure - Channels Thus overcoming parental control, e.g. by deleting the mark or setting the locked channels by the transponder search run, is excluded (the lock can also not be overcome via timer). Note:
To deactivate parental control only briefly, e.g. in the evening, you can switch the {Protection} input field back to “OFF” in the “Parental Control” menu. The “?” marks are not changed in this case and act again after renewed activation of parental control, i.e. if the {Protection} input field is switched back to ON!
Search run Satellite search run The satellite search run is over all frequencies of the selected satellite. Select the desired settings in the order of the menu: The individual parameters are selected after activation with the [OK] button and then with the [►] or [◄] buttons. We recommend starting the search run from time to time to find new stations. Use the basic settings shown bold in this case. If you want to search for an individual channel selectively, then you can shorten the search runtime by restricting known parameters, e.g. band (low) and symbol rate (22).
Select the desired satellite {ASTRA} > {Hotbird} > {Sat 3} > to {Sat 8}, The band
{Low/High} > {Low} > {High},
(3) the symbol rate
{22+27,5} > {22} > {27,5} > {FREE},
or a free symbol rate
{XXXX}
(Possible only if the symbol rate under item (3) was changed to {FREE}) and start the search run with the [OK] button. Choose whether the search should be for unencrypted or encrypted channels or for both simultaneously: Selection: “FREE“ or “CA” or “FREE+CA” Note:
22
Some of the encrypted channels can also be received freely or freely from time to time.
Menu Structure - Channels Transponder search run All channels of a transponder are searched for in the transponder search run.
If the parameters (satellite, frequency, polarization, symbol rate) of the searched for channel are known, the transponder search run can be used. For instance, if a new channel goes into operation for a known channel group, then it is sufficient to set a channel from this channel group in advance using the channel selection, the required parameters are assumed in the transponder search run. If the “No signal” message appears in the “START” line, then no reception is possible. Please check once again the satellite, frequency, polarization and symbol rate parameters. The search run can be started only if “Signal!” is displayed. Start the search run with the [OK] button. Encrypted channels are identified with “$”. You can delete individually with the [TEXT] button channels which you do not want to include in the channel pool. New channels are marked with “+”. They are assumed in the channel pool by pressing the [OK] button.
Manual entry (for experts) Should neither the satellite nor the transponder search run find the desired channel, then all relevant reception parameters can be set in the “Manual”. The manual entry is very helpful, for instance, if the reception data of the desired channel are known, but the channel does not transmit continuously.

Installation Menu The automatic adjustment of the picture width functions only if the TV set can process and display 16:9 format (6-volt switching voltage).
VCR record Two different modes for the VCR Scart socket are available for automatic VCR recording with the timer function (see respective menu item): Standard
The video output signal (connection 19 of the VCR socket) for the VCR is always available. The connection 8 of the VCR Scart socket (switching voltage) is switched as input, i.e. if you press the playback button on your video recorder, the video and audio signals coming from the video recorder are switched through automatically by your satellite receiver through the VCR to the TV Scart socket and forwarded from there to the TV set. For timer-controlled video recording in the standard mode, you must enter identical start and end times for your video recorder and in the “Timer programming” menu.
Sat-Record
The video output signal (connection 19 of the VCR socket) to the VCR is always available. In an active timer event, i.e. if the receiver switches to the desired channel at the pre-programmed time, 12 V are output at connection 8 of the VCR Scart socket (12 V switching voltage). A video recorder with “Sat-Record” capability detects this switching signal and switches automatically to record. After the end of recording connection 8 is switched again as input and is ready for switching through the VCR signal on playback.
Digital audio Two modes are available for the digital output of your satellite receiver: Standard
The signal at the digital output is coded in the PCM format (“PCM”).
Dolby Digital/AC 3
If you have a Dolby Digital system, you can select the “Dolby Digital” mode. If your satellite receiver receives a Dolby Digital-coded audio signal, the digital output is switched automatically to the Dolby Digital format (“AC 3”).
Note:
In both modes you can check the current format of the signal at the digital output at any time after pressing the [OPT] button and naturally make a different selection as required.

Caution!
After you press the [OK] button a version test is performed. Should there be an older version on the data carousel, then you receive corresponding information. If required you can again interrupt the download prematurely. This information is determined by the CAM or by the smart card, therefore it does not come from the receiver. Note: According to the occupation of the data carousel, loading the data can last up to one hour! g) Save the loaded data. You must not switch the receiver off in this phase!
CA (Conditional Access) = encrypted channels (only for UFD 516!) General You need a common interface / CA module (CAM) and a smart card from your programme provider to receive encrypted channels. Note that the CA modules with the associated smart cards decode only the channels of your programme provider. If you have subscribed to channels from several programme providers, you must possibly change between different CA modules and/or the relevant smart cards. •
Follow the instructions of your programme provider regarding CAM and your smart card.
•
Switch the receiver to stand-by. Open the front flap and introduce the CAM into one of the two module holders. Introduce, if available, a second CAM into the other module holder.
•
Introduce the smart card into the associated CA module.
•
Modules and smart card are engaged correctly if the front flap can be closed easily.
•
Leave the CA modules in the slots provided.
The smart card has a four-digit PIN code (Personal Identification Number) – observe the instructions of your programme provider with regard to this. You can call up various information about your CA modules and smart cards after activating the “CA” menu with the [OK] button. You will find the extent and contents of these in the information and documents of your programme provider.
Reception of encrypted channels According to satellite, up to some hundred encrypted channels can be received. You have two possibilities of setting the channels of your programme provider: 31
Installation Menu a) Via satellite search run SEARCH:
You start the automatic station search (see respective menu item) with the selection “CA” (= search according to encrypted channels). This way you receive all encrypted channels of the selected satellite in the “Favourite List” menu under “New CA” (see Favourite Bank).
COPY:
The list in the “Favourite List” menu in the right-hand window is ordered alphabetically. Select the channels of your programme provider with the [P+] or [P-] buttons and copy the desired channels with the [TV] button into one (or else into several) of your favourite banks.
CLEAR:
If you now have a large number of CA channels in the channel pool which are not decoded by your CA module, you can also remove these again from the channel pool.
You delete all “not used” channels, therefore all channels that you have not copied into one of the ten favourite banks, with the [R] button in the “Channel Pool” menu. b) Via transponder search run SET:
You take the reception parameters from the documents of your programme provider and enter these in the corresponding fields of the transponder search run (see respective menu item). After starting with the [OK] button, you receive the associated channels which you can store in the channel pool in turn with the [OK] button.
If the channels are distributed over several transponders, repeat this process. COPY:
Select the “Favourite List” and “New CA” menu again and copy the channels of your programme provider into your favourite banks.
Here as well, unwanted “CA or FTA channels” could remain left over which have to be “tidied up”.
