USER MANUAL UFS 651sw KATHREIN
DVB Satellite Receiver UFS 651si/sw
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 satellite 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.
The power switch is an environmentally friendly feature. If you will not be using your receiver for an extended period, you should use the power switch to disconnect it from the power supply and save energy. For shorter breaks, you can use the remote control to switch the receiver to standby, which uses only a minimal amount of energy.
We wish you good reception and much pleasure using your new DVB satellite receiver.
Your
KATHREIN team
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The channels available on the satellites and transponders are subject to continual change. If changes do occur, the new channels have to be set in the receiver because the factory preset programming corresponds to the status on the date of manufacture. The information for these settings can be found on the Internet or in relevant magazines.
Your receiver is equipped in the factory with the latest software version at that time. We are, however, constantly working on adapting the software to the wishes of our customers and to developments in technology. The “Service Menu” section provides more information on this.
The information in this operating manual was correct at the time of going to press.
We reserve the right however to make changes at any time and without prior notice. If new software is released for your receiver, and this affects the information in the operating manual (e.g. changes to the menus and/or functions), if we believe it necessary we will make available a new operating manual for download under “www.kathrein.de”.
Please keep the original packaging in case you need to return the product at any time. If the product is not properly packed, the warranty claim is invalidated.
Please make a note of your receiver's default setting (are configured during the first installation) so that you can refer to it at any time!
Before you switch off your receiver with the mains switch, you must first switch it into stand-by mode by pressing the stand-by button on your remote control. This ensures that modified and new data are saved to the receiver. As soon as the receiver is in stand-by mode, it can be switched off completely using the on/off switch on the receiver front panel. Do not press the on/off button when the receiver is in operation! This can lead to loss of data or damage to software.
The receiver conforms to the latest European directive for energy using products (EUP) and has (by itself) a power consumption of only 5 W in operational mode (excluding Sat lead). The 15 W power consumption mentioned on the receiver rear panel is due to the necessity to power the satellite reception system's LNB and or multi-switch. This 15 W value is normally not reached, but may do so in the most disadvantageous case.

Do not connect the receiver to the power supply until all installation work has been properly carried out. Refer to the information in the “Safety instructions” section.
CONNECTING THE UNIT (SAT-IF CONNECTIONS)
Connect the Sat IF input on the receiver to the satellite reception system. Use a coaxial cable with a standard F connector.
If the F standard connectors are not yet fitted on the cables, strip the insulation from the cables as shown in the following illustration and carefully screw the F standard connectors on to the ends of the cables until they are securely seated.
When fitting the connector, make sure that no wires from the braid are touching the inner conductor, so no short circuit can occur.
The quality of the reception signal depends on this connection.
RECEPTION REQUIREMENTS
Make sure that your own satellite antenna system is equipped at least with a universal LNB for digital reception in the high-band range.
RECEPTION SYSTEM PRESETS
The presets for the control signals have been made for standard reception systems, i.e. 14/18 V for polarity reversal and 22 kHz switching signal for low/high band changeover on multi-feed reception systems.
CONNECTION AND SET-UP
Connect the satellite receiver (TV Scart socket) and the TV set using a Scart cable (see "Connection Example"). If your TV has a stereo capability, you can receive the sound in stereo via the Scart connection. Use a further Scart cable to connect the satellite receiver (VCR/Scart socket) to the video recorder/DVR. For system reasons, the same video signals are to be found at the TV Scart socket as at the video cinch output.
If you are recording using an external video recorder, remember not to operate the receiver during recording, otherwise all the on-screen displays will appear on your recording.
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, using an appropriate cable (see "Connection Example").
ELECTRICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT
The electric digital output is intended for the connection of a Dolby Digital system (see “Connection Example”).

SHORT TECHNICAL GUIDE
CHANNEL PACKAGE
The channel package for a digital transponder normally includes several TV and radio channels. Each channel package has a fixed assignment for the transponder transmission frequency, for polarisation (horizontal or vertical), for the symbol rate and for the Viterbi rate or error rate.
DISEQC™
DiSEqC™ (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a communication system between a satellite receiver (master) and the peripheral satellite components (slaves), such as LNBs, multi-switches, rotating antenna systems.
It is a single master/multi-slave system, i.e. there is only ever one master in the satellite system. All activities start from the master.
DISEQC™ COMPONENTS
If DiSEqC TM switching matrices are cascaded, the master receiver must transmit the DiSEqC TM signal several times, so that all DiSEqC TM multi-switches in the cascade receive their commands.
These days, DiSEqC ™ components (slaves) must be downward compatible, i.e. respond to the analogue switching criteria from receivers that are only equipped with H/V and 22 kHz control signals.
A DiSEqC ™ switching matrix will work with analogue switching criteria until the DiSEqC ™ command from the master is received. All analogue switching criteria are then ignored.
DVB MPEG-2
DVB is the abbreviation for Digital Video Broadcasting. DVB-S refers to the transmission method (S = satellite). MPEG is the abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts Group, a working group that formulates internationally applicable standards for the digital compression of video and audio. MPEG -2 has established itself as the standard for compression of digital TV signals. MPEG -2 works up to a data rate of 100 Mbit/s.
EB/NO RATIO
The Eb/No ratio is a measure of the signal to noise ratio of a digital signal. The value is not identical to the C/N value familiar from analogue reception technology. At Eb/No values below 5 dB no reception is normally possible.
FEC
FEC is the abbreviation for "Forward Error Correction". The FEC error rate corresponds to the Viterbi rate.
SHORT TECHNICAL GUIDE
PID
The PID (Packet IDentification) number is an identification number for video signals and audio signals in the digital data stream of DVB-MPEG -2 signals. The receiver uses the PID number to create a unique assignment for the video and audio data transmission. The PCR PID is the identification number for the synchronisation signal. The PID-PCR is normally identical to the video PID. For programmes broadcast in multiple languages, the audio PD can be entered manually to assign a different language to the TV programme. After the PID is entered, the digital receiver automatically selects the audio data identified by the PID number from the data stream and assigns it to the video signal.
SYMBOL RATE
The symbol rate describes the quantity of data that is transmitted per second. The symbol rate is measured in MSymbols/s and is equal to the number of symbols received per second.
TRANSPONDER
A transponder is a frequency converter which receives TV and radio signals broadcast from the earth, converts them and the rebroadcasts them to the earth at a different frequency. Each satellite carries several transponders.
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV channel and possibly multiple radio channels on a single transmission frequency.
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and several radio programmes on a transmission frequency. If a programme provider is broadcasting several TV channels via a digital transponder, we refer to the provider's channel package. The terms “digital transponder” and “channel package” have the same meaning.
VIDEO-BIT-RATE
The video bit rate describes the quantity of data from the digitised video signal that is transmitted per second.
VITERBI RATE
The Viterbi rate (code rate, error rate) characterises the error protection used by the programme provider. The DVB standard provides the following values: 1/2 - 2/3 - 3/4 - 5/6 - 7/8

TROUBLESHOOTING
In the event of a malfunction, first check all the cable connections and operating states:
- Receiver and TV set power plugs are connected to wall socket
- Antenna cables on receiver input
- Receiver and TV set correctly connected by a Scart or cinch cable
- Audio connections are made to Hi-Fi or Dolby Digital system as appropriate
- Receiver and TV set (Hi-Fi/Dolby Digital system) are switched on (check power indicators)
- Receiver is responding to remote control
A selection of troubleshooting tips is offered below.
| Problem Cause Remedy | ||
| “Weak or no signal!” warning appears on some or all channels | Antenna signal of satellite reception system missing or faulty. Incorrect LNB frequencies set in the “Antenna Configuration” menu. | Consult an antenna specialist to have it checked and repaired as necessary. On “Installation” menu check LNB configuration for the satellite in question: High L.O. “10.600” GHz, Low L.O. “9.750” GHz, and Limit frequency L.O. “11.700 MHz”, and change as necessary. |
| Remote control no longer responding | Receiver or remote control command set may have been unintentionally changed | Set infrared code 1 (simultaneously press the buttons BACK +...@). Check the batteries |
| Wrong time being displayed | “Summer Time” setting wrong. An incorrect time was imported from the reception signal | On “Settings” - “Date and Time Setup” menu check “Summer Time Enabled” and change as necessary Switch off receiver at mains switch from current channel, e.g. ARD or ZDF, wait 10 seconds and then switch back on |
| The following channels cut out or “Weak or no signal!” appears: DSF, Tele 5, HSE 24 and Sonnenklar TV | DECT telephones operate on the same frequency as these channels. Interference may occur due to inadequate level or poor shielding of cable | Consult your antenna specialist |
| Black or blue screen, no on-screen displays | Scart connection to TV deactivated by accidentally pressing the 0 button | Keep pressing the 0 button until the TV picture reappears on-screen |
