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:

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.

Installation location

Every piece of electronic equipment generates heat. However, the heating of this unit lies within the permissible range. Sensitive furniture surfaces and veneers may become discoloured by the effects of heat over time. The feet of the unit can also cause colour changes to treated furniture surfaces. If necessary, place the unit on a suitable stable and fl at base.

Ventilation

The heat occurring in this unit is adequately dissipated. Nevertheless, you should never install the unit in a cupboard or on shelves with inadequate ventilation. Never cover the cooling slots on the unit (e.g. with other equipment, magazines, tablecloths or curtains)!

No not place any objects on top of the unit and maintain at least 10 cm of free space above the unit so that the resulting heat can be dissipated with no obstructions.

Moisture, sunlight, heat

Protect the unit against moisture, dripping and splashed water (do not place any filled objects such as vases on top of the unit). Do not place the unit close to the heating or expose it to direct sunlight and do not operate it in damp locations. Use the unit only in a temperate climate, not in tropical conditions.

Switching remote control infrared code to operate different receivers:

Switch to

Address 1 = ⒽEXIT + ⓛ (for the first receiver)

to

Address 4 = ☑EXIT + ☑ (for the fourth receiver)

EXIT + (red) = Kathrein UFD 5XX code for remote control RC 400

Note: The RC 600 and RC 650 remote controls cannot be replaced!

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.

KATHREIN UFT 571 - Antenna Connection - 1

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.

Connection and Setup

Inserting Batteries in the Remote Control

KATHREIN UFT 571 - Inserting Batteries in the Remote Control - 1

Used batteries are special waste. Do not throw used batteries into your household waste; take them to a collection point for old batteries.

Simple line drawing of a trash bin with crossed lines indicating no waste or discharge (no text or symbols)

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.

In addition to a main list, "F0", with 999 channel memory locations (P001 - P999), your DVB-T receiver also features nine additional so-called Favourites lists, "F1" - "F9", to which you or members of your family, for example, can assign channels from the main list. In border areas, for example, additional DVB-T channels will be receivable depending on your antenna setup, and they too can be copied in any order to the Favourites lists. Another practical application for the Favourites lists is if you often use your unit at different locations (such as on camping trips).

TV P 004 Mo 07.03. 13:24

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.

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 OK. 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 OK. 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 confirm your selection by

pressing OK. 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 OK.

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).

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.

Note: If you have unintentionally deleted a line and want to restore the original information, quit the timer menu by pressing the EXIT button twice.

Note: 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 "rE 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 finished.

Note: 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.

For Central European Summer time = {+2 h}/ For Central European Winter time = {+1 h}

Please note that some “exotic” channels sometimes do not transmit the correct time. Check the date and time in the “Timer Programming” menu when programming.

Note: If the timer recording is started in Stand-by mode, the unit switches back to Stand-by when recording is finished.

VCR-Record

For automatic VCR recordings using the timer function (see Timer) two different modes are available for the VCR Scart socket:

Standard:

The video output signal (pin 19 on VCR socket) to the VCR is always available.

Pin 8 on the VCR Scart socket (switching voltage) is switched as an input, meaning when you press the playback button on your video recorder the video and audio signals coming from the video recorder are automatically switched through by your satellite receiver via the VCR Scart socket to the TV Scart socket and forwarded from there to the TV set.

For timer-controlled video recordings in standard mode you must enter identical start and end times on your video recorder and in the "Timer Programming" menu.

Auto-Record:

The video output signal (pin 19 on VCR socket) to the VCR is always available.

When a timer event is active - that is, when the unit switches to the desired channel at the pre-programmed time - a switching voltage of 12 V is outputted on pin 8 of the VCR Scart socket.

An "Auto-Record"-compatible video recorder detects this switching signal and automatically switches to Record.

When the recording is finished pin 8 is switched back to input and is again ready to switch through the VCR signal on playback.

In the receiver basic setting the scan is performed based on a pre-defined channel list (i.e. VHF channels 5-12 with 7 MHz bandwidth and UHF channels 21-69 with 8 MHz bandwidth). If you are operating the receiver in a system which converts incoming signals into a DVB-T signal, thereby changing the above assignment between channel and bandwidth, you can change the basic setting on this menu. The following settings can be made:

CCIR (standard for Germany):

VHF:7MHz
UHF:8MHz

Auto:

• VHF: 7 + 8 MHz
- UHF: 7 + 8 MHz

Software Update

Note:

Updating requires a PC and a crossed zero-modem cable (as described in the "Rear View" section).

If there is a new software release for your DVB-T receiver, you can download it from:

"http://www.kathrein.de/esc-kathrein/download/receiv_soft.htm" (You can also download the program to transfer the software from the PC to the receiver free of charge too.)

You will also find information, instructions, hints and tips on software updating via the RS 232 port provided on the receiver and about ways of ordering required accessories (crossed zero-modem cable and adapter as necessary) from the service agent ESC (for contact details see below).

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.

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

specifi cation 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.

If you want to use this function, from the "Installation" menu select the "Signals" submenu and then choose "VCR signals".

Open the "VCR signals" menu by pressing the OK button.

Activate the "TV -> VCR" input fi eld by pressing OK and change the selection using the ▶▶ buttons to "ON". Confirm your selection

with OK.
