Operating Manual DVB-T-Receiver UFT 571 (silver/ black) Preface Dear customer, This Operating Manual is intended to help you make the fullest use of the extensive range of functions offered by your new DVB-T receiver. We have tried to make the operating instructions as easy as possible to understand, and to keep them as concise as possible. To help you understand particular specialist terms that cannot be translated, we have added a short glossary at the end of the manual. You have chosen DVB-T, a TV standard which, even in combination with an adapted indoor antenna such as Kathrein‘s BZD-series, will provide you with optimum reception, with no ghosting or any of the other disadvantages of conventional TV viewing. The power switch is an environmentally friendly feature. If you will not be watching the television for a longer period, you should therefore disconnect your equipment from the power supply to save energy. For shorter breaks, you can switch the equipment to stand-by on the remote control, which uses only a minimal amount of energy. We wish you good reception and much pleasure using your new DVB-T receiver. Your KATHREIN Team If you should experience any unexpected problems with your UFT 571 (silver/black), please contact your specialist dealer or our hotline: KATHREIN-Werke KG ESC (Electronic Service Chiemgau) Technical Customer Support Factory repair centre Tel: +49 8031 18 4-700 Tel: +49 8641 9545-0 Fax: +49 8031 184-676 Fax: +49 8641 9445-35/-36 Internet: www.kathrein.de www.esc-kathrein.de E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] The channels available are subject to continual change. This means the channel presets have to be regularly updated, though the factory presetting always represents the latest updated version. The information for this reset can be found on the Internet or in relevant magazines. Our equipment is factory fitted with the most recent software version. We are constantly working on adapting the software to the wishes of our customers and to developments in technology. The “Managing Channels” section provides more information on this. 2 Contents Preface 2 Contents 3 Safety Instructions and Important Information 5 Controls, Displays and Connections Front View Rear View Remote Control Function Buttons Remote Control Command Set 6 6 6 7 8 Connection and Setup Antenna Connection TV Connection Audio Connection Dolby Connection IR Receiver (Accessory) Inserting Batteries in the Remote Control 9 9 9 9 9 9 10 Using the Front Panel/Display Using the Front Panel Display 11 11 11 Initial Setup Important Information Getting Started 12 12 12 Menu Structure 14 Channel Selection Channel Notification Last Channels Selected Switching between TV and Radio Selecting a Channel from a Favourites List 15 15 15 16 16 Managing Channels Main List Managing Channels in the Main List Moving Deleting Marking for Parental Control Deleting All Channels Favourites Lists Managing Channels in the Favourites Lists Changing Favourites Names Copying Channels from the Main List to a Favourites List 17 17 17 17 17 18 18 18 18 19 19 EPG - Electronic Programme Guide 20 Protection (Parental Control/PIN Code/Menu Lock) Activating Parental Control Activating Menu Lock PIN Code 21 21 21 21 Audio Settings Volume Control Digital Output Digital/Analog Audio Mode Analog Outputs Digital Output AC 3 - Global 22 22 22 22 23 23 23 3 Contents Timer Manual Timer Setting Automatic Timer Setting Deleting a Timer Event VPS 24 24 24 24 25 Scan Automatic Scan Channel Search Manual Scan 26 26 26 27 Installation Time Offset Language/Character Set Signal Paths TV/VCR Scart Screen Format Digital Audio VCR Signals TV -> VCR VCR Signal VCR Record Active Antenna Antenna In Stand-by Aligning the Antenna First Installation Various Display Time Function Time indicator Factory Reset Software Update 28 28 28 29 29 29 30 30 30 30 31 31 31 32 32 32 33 33 33 33 34 34 Recorder Connection Recording Playback Return Path 35 35 35 35 Connection Diagram 36 Technical Features and Data - UFT 571S/UFT 571SW Technical Features Technical Data 37 37 38 Glossary 39 4 Safety Instructions and Important Information This page contains important information about the operation, installation location and connection of the unit.

Connection and Setup This section is intended specifically for specialist dealers. You only need to refer to it if you are carrying out the installation yourself. The “Connection Example” section provides a sample configuration. Do not connect the unit to the mains until all installation work has been properly carried out. Refer to the information in the “Safety instructions” section. Antenna Connection DVB-T TV was developed to enable you to receive a good quality TV picture anywhere, provided the signal is strong enough. Connect the receiver either to your conventional stand-alone or community antenna through which you receive all VHF/UHF signals, or use an antenna developed for DVB-T (such as the BZD 30 or BZD 40 from Kathrein) for direct reception in residential areas (BZD 30). DVB-T TV cannot work miracles however; you must be receiving a good quality signal. You may encounter problems in concrete buildings if you are using only an indoor antenna. If you are using (or have to use) an active antenna - that is, an antenna with a pre-amplifier, you can power it from the receiver‘s antenna input. The default setting in the receiver is “OFF”, to prevent any damage from occurring. Be sure to use an antenna tuned to a 5 Volt supply (such as the BZD 30 from Kathrein). TV Connection Connect the UFT 571 (TV Scart socket) and the TV set by a Scart cable. If your TV has a stereo capability, you can receive the sound in stereo via the Scart connection. Audio Connection If you want to play the sound on your hi-fi system, connect the audio cinch sockets to the input sockets on the hi-fi system with an appropriate cable. Dolby Connection The Dolby Digital data stream output (AC 3) is intended for connection to a Dolby Digital system. IR Receiver (Accessory) The infrared receiver allows you to place the unit in a concealed location. Connect the infrared receiver to the “IR REMOTE IN” socket and position it such that it has a visual connection to the remote control. 9 Connection and Setup Inserting Batteries in the Remote Control Remove the cover on the rear of the remote control. Insert the two batteries supplied into the remote control, ensuring correct polarity - this is shown on the base of the battery compartment. Slide the cover back onto the housing until it locks in place. Used batteries are special waste. Do not throw used batteries into your household waste; take them to a collection point for old batteries. Electronic equipment is not household waste - in accordance with directive 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL of 27th January 2003 on used electrical and electronic equipment, it must be disposed of properly. At the end of its service life, take this unit for disposal at a designated public collection point. 10 Using the Front Panel/Display Using the Front Panel The unit has four operating buttons on its front panel (Channel ▲ and ▼ and Volume +/-) to change channels or alter the volume. By simultaneously pressing the “Channel ▲” and “Volume -” buttons the on-unit control can be temporarily switched to Radio/TV toggle mode. Pres the “Channel ▼” button to switch to radio mode, or the “Volume +” button to switch to the TV.

Press the  button to mute the sound. Press again, or adjust the volume using the % buttons, to restore the sound. Digital Output The receiver has an electrical and an optical audio output for AC3 format (Dolby Digital). This gives you the opportunity to bring cinema quality sound into your living room. Connect the corresponding digital audio output to a Dolby Digital system. Always follow the operating instructions for your Dolby Digital system. Only a few programme providers broadcast the AC3 format. If no AC3 format is received, you can only make the normal stereo or mono settings and choose the broadcast languages. Digital/Analog Audio Mode In digital satellite technology the picture and sound are generally transmitted in digital format (MPEG-coded). Where the term “analog audio mode” is used in this section, it signifies that the digital signals are converted in the unit into audio signals and made available at the “Left” and “Right” Cinch sockets and at the TV and VCR Scart sockets in analog format. By contrast, in “digital audio mode” the signals are transmitted in digital format via the “Digital” sockets to the corresponding terminal devices, such as a Dolby Surround system, for decoding. Two-channel stereo signals (encoded in PCM format) or complex multi-channel surround signals (Dolby Digital/AC 3) can be transmitted on the digital sockets. 22 Audio Settings Press the " button to access the “Digital/analog audio mode” menu. You can use this menu purely as an information display and press the " button again to quit it immediately, or you can change various settings. Analog Outputs In the right-hand pane you see the current signal status of the connections coming in to the rear of your satellite receiver. An analog audio signal is received on the Cinch sockets and via the TV and VCR Scart sockets. In some cases bilingual programmes are also broadcast over the two stereo “Left” and “Right” channels. In such cases you would hear German through the left channel and English through the right for example. To hear just one language, use the & buttons to select “Mono-L” or “Mono-R” and confirm your selection by pressing . The current selection is highlighted in white. Most bilingual or multilingual programmes are broadcast over separate audio tracks however. In this case, the left-hand pane would display German under 1 and English under 2 for example, and you would hear both languages in stereo. Use the % buttons to select the language you want and confirm your selection by pressing . The current selected language (or audio track) is highlighted in white. “Stereo” displayed in the following screenshot indicates that only one language is being transmitted in stereo. The content of the left-hand pane is dictated by the broadcaster. Line 1 might indicate “Deutsch” or “ger” instead of “Stereo” for example. Digital Output In the right-hand pane you see the current signal status on the digital outputs (= digital Cinch socket and optical digital output). If “PCM” is displayed, the digital signal is encoded in PCM format. If “AC 3” is displayed, the audio signal is encoded in Dolby Digital format. If available to select, choose the language or audio track you want from the left-hand pane using the % buttons and confirm your selection by pressing . The current selected audio track is highlighted in white. The number of languages and audio tracks offered is dictated by the broadcaster. A PCM-encoded language or audio track is always displayed. You may, however, also be offered two or more PCM-encoded languages or audio tracks with one or more in AC3 format. For radio stations up to 20 PCM-encoded audio tracks may be available, which you can select using the button and confirm by pressing . AC 3 - Global When you select “Dolby Digital/AC 3” mode for digital audio, the digital output is automatically switched to AC 3 as soon as a relevant coding is transmitted (see also under Signal Paths/Digital Audio). 23 Timer Press the  button to access the “Timer Programming” menu. Up to 8 timer events, for TV or radio programmes, can be entered. Note: Please note that if you select “VCR-Record = Standard” the video recorder must also be set to identical recording times. Manual Timer Setting Use the number pad or the  buttons to select the next vacant input field (in the example in the screenshot at the left timer number two). Use the  buttons to move to the date, start and stop time and channel fields one after the other (the active field is highlighted in white). Press the  button to activate input in the selected field (the field is highlighted in black). Enter the data either directly using the number pad or by advancing the values using the  buttons and save your input by pressing . Once you have entered the date, start and stop time and channel you can quit the timer menu by pressing events.  or programme more timer Automatic Timer Setting You can also import the timer data directly from the programme listings. To do so, select the programme from the listing and then press  to transfer its data into the timer. Confirm the data import (see screenshot at left) into the timer by pressing  twice. If the timer recording is started in Stand-by mode, the unit switches back to Stand-by when recording is finished. Deleting a Timer Event To delete a timer event select the relevant line in the timer using the number pad or the  buttons and then press . 24 Timer VPS “v” indicating VPS function active Note: You can also control the timer and the video recorder by way of VPS (Video Programme System). To do so, programme the timer as usual in the EPG “Automatic Timer Setting” function or directly in the “Manual Timer Setting” menu and then press the " button on the selected timer line to activate the VPS function. A (v) is displayed. Make sure the correct VPS time is entered in the Start column. The VPS times can also be found in many listings magazines. When you have imported the programme you want to record from the EPG into the timer you will automatically see the start time, usually corresponding to the VPS time, and the stop time. When the VPS function is active (v) the start and stop times serve as a window within which VPS will start the programme even if it is delayed for example. The timer record function remains active as long as the VPS information is being broadcast by the channel, meaning recording may also be automatically started at an earlier point - that is, within the preset time window, such as in the event of a knockout in the first round of a boxing match, or later - outside the window - such as when a football match goes into extra time. If you programme the timer manually from the menu, do not forget also to enter the stop time, so as to set a VPS time window. If the programme you are recording is only short (e.g. 15 minutes) in duration, choose a stop time to preset an adequate time window (e.g. one to two hours). In this way you will be sure that the VPS time window will not be exceeded if there is a lengthy scheduling change.

If you have a S-VHS-(S-Video) recorder, from the “Installation” menu select the “Signals” submenu and change the selection (TV Scart VCR) so that the “YC” signal is connected to the VCR socket. Recording To record a current programme set your recorder to Record. Note that the volume on the receiver is set to full during recording (L 20 on the 7-segment display). This is the only way to obtain the full audio quality on subsequent playback. Also make sure that you do not perform any other actions on the receiver during this direct recording process - anything on-screen displays would be recorded along with the programme. With regard to timer recording refer to the “Timer” section. Playback Your recorder plays back - i.e. transmits the signal from the VCR to the TV set - automatically in operation or in Stand-by mode. The so-called switching voltage of the recorder is detected by the receiver and the VCR signal is switched through to the TV set. The 7-segment display shows “VCR”. You can switch to the receiver channel at any time, even without stopping playback on your recorder. To do so press the ! button. To switch back to the recorder playback, press the ! button twice. Note: The ! button controls the TV switching voltage (pin 8) on the TV Scart socket. The TV switching voltage is activated when the video signal from the receiver or from the recorder is switched to the TV set. In normal mode, without the recorder, you can press the ! button to toggle between the receiver channel and another video signal on the TV. This additional video signal on the TV might, for example, comes from your existing “analog” antenna, from a cable connection or from a DVD player connected directly to the TV. The listing of video signals available on the TV is dependent on the specification of your TV set. In the above operating mode with a recorder during playback, the ! button would thus set the video sources of the TV, the recorder and the receiver one after the other. Return Path The video signal described above from the TV set can be returned to your recorder in Stand-by mode.
