1 Operating Manual DVB-T-Receiver UFT 571 (silver/ black)

2 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: Tel: Fax: Fax: /-36 Internet: [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 fi tted 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

9 Connection and Setup This section is intended specifi cally 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 confi guration. Antenna Connection 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. 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-amplifi er, 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 Audio 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. 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

10 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 27 th 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

22 Audio Settings Volume Control The receiver volume can be adjusted in 20 stages using the buttons. 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. Digital/Analog Audio Mode 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. 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 signifi es 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

23 Audio Settings Analog Outputs Digital Output 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. 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 confi rm 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 confi rm 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. 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 confi rm 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 confi rm 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

24 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 fi eld (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 fi elds one after the other (the active fi eld is highlighted in white). Press the button to activate input in the selected fi eld (the fi eld 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 or programme more timer events. 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. Confi rm 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 fi nished. 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

25 Timer VPS Note: Note: Note: Note: v indicating VPS function active 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 fi rst 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 unintentionally deleted a line and want to restore the original information, quit the timer menu by pressing the button twice. Please note that no remote control commands are accepted during timer recording, to prevent OSD displays from unintentionally being recorded over the picture. The volume is set to full during recording. To indicate that timer recording is active, the unit s channel indicator shows r E c if a command is received from the remote control. Timer recording can only be prematurely aborted by pressing the = Stop button. After an abort End is displayed. The unit can then be operated as normal. If the timer recording is started in Stand-by mode, the unit switches back to Stand-by when recording is fi nished. The time and date are retrieved from the DVB data transmitted by the broadcaster. When changing from Summer to Winter time and vice versa, please adjust the time offset ( Time Adjust ) in the Installation menu.

35 Recorder Connection Recording Interconnect your recorder and the receiver (VCR socket) by a Scart cable. 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. 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 Note: Return Path 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. 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.
