Kathrein UFS 702si Operator's Manual

Operator‘s manual
DVB Satellite Receiver
UFS 702sw/si
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 a longer period, you
should use the power switch to disconnect it from the power
supply and save energy. For shorter breaks, you can switch
the receiver to standby on the remote control, which uses
only a minimal amount of energy.
We wish you good reception and much pleasure using your
new DVB satellite receiver.
Yours,
The 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 factory fitted with the latest software
version. We are, however, constantly working on adapting
the software to the wishes of our customers and to
developments in technology. The “Software and Channel
List Update” section contains additional information.
Please keep the original packaging in case you need
to return the product at any time!
Make a note of the receiver’s basic settings, so as to
be able to restore them if necessary!

Connection and set-up
The following section is intended specifically for specialist
dealers. You only need to pay attention to this section if you
are carrying out the installation yourself.
The “Connection examples” 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.
Connecting the unit
Sat IF Connections
Connect the Sat IF inputs on the receiver to the satellite
reception system.
Use coaxial cable with an F standard connector.
If the F standard connectors are not yet fitted on the cable,
strip the insulation from the cable as shown in the following
illustration and carefully twist the F standard connectors
onto the ends of the cables until they are securely fitted.
When fitting the connector, make sure that no wires from
the braiding are touching the inner conductor, so no short
circuit can occur.
The quality of the reception signal depends on the
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.
The preset will need to be changed in the installation menu
under “DiSEqC™” if tone burst switching matrices are
used in the reception system. Refer to the section headed
“Installation menu”, “DiSEqC™”. Always follow the operating
instructions for the matrix used.

EPG - Electronic Programme Guide
The EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) displays
information on the current and upcoming programmes.
The information provided is determined by the programme
providers, and differs widely from programme to programme.
Many programmes are broadcast with no usable ancillary
information (SI data). The same is true with regard to the
programme previews.
Some programme providers transmit no data, others offer a
programme preview with additional programme information
days in advance.
Press the button to access the EPG. The following
display appears (example):
You now have the following options:
- Press the button to see information on the next
programme
- Press the button to see a programme preview of
the currently selected channel. Depending on the
programme provider, you are shown a programme
preview covering the current day or several days in
advance (see picture).
Use the buttons to scroll forwards or backwards in the programme preview on a line-by-line or
page-by-page basis. Once you have selected the
programme you want, you can press the button to
view more details (if available). If no ancillary information
is available a message is displayed telling you so.

Channels menu – channel management
Digital television technology makes a large number
of channels available. A reception unit suitable for the
ASTRA 19° East und EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° East
satellites allows you to receive over 800 FTA TV and radio
programmes.
To allow you to manage and control this range of channels,
the memory for the lists is divided into two sections:
- one channel pool for radio and TV respectively, each with
2000 programme memory positions
- 8 assigned favourites lists for radio and for TV respectively,
each with 1000 programme memory positions
Use the # button (blue) to switch between TV and radio.
New channels found during a search are stored in both the
channel pool and in the currently selected favourites list, at
the end of the memory area for the selected satellite.
This area is set with empty channels, known as placeholder
channels, at the factory.
Pxxx ~ ~~~~~~~ Placeholder for Astra 19° satellite
Pyyy ~~ ~~~~~~ Placeholder for Eutelsat 13° satellite
When the channel pool is sorted alphabetically, the
placeholder channels appear at the end. You can also
increase the number of placeholders by copying a
placeholder repeatedly from the channel pool to the
favourites list.
After the search you should call up the “Channel
arrangement” sub-menu to look through and assess the
new channels. Uninteresting channels, test cards or any
other “junk programming” can be deleted from the left-hand
window with the ! button (green).
A major advantage of the double memory organisation
(channel pool and favourites list) is that the “junk
programming” that is deleted from the list remains in the
pool so it is not found again during the next search.
Another advantage is that channels that are accidentally
deleted can be copied back into the favourites list from the
channel pool.

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 (yellow) 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 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 be aborted
prematurely only with the = Stop key. After an abort
“End” is displayed. The unit can then be operated as
normal.

The VCR Scart socket has two different modes for
automatic VCR recording with the timer function:
Standard
The video signal (pin 19 on VCR Scart socket)
to the VCR is always available.
Pin 8 on the VCR Scart socket (switching
voltage) is switched as an input, meaning
that when you press the playback button on
your video recorder, your satellite receiver
automatically switches the video and audio
signals coming from the video recorder to the
TV Scart socket via the VCR Scart socket and
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.
Sat Record The video output signal (pin 19) from the VCR
is always available.
When a timer event is active i.e. when the unit
switches to the channel to be recorded at the
pre-programmed time,12 V is output at pin 8
of the VCR Scart socket.
A “Sat Record”-compatible video recorder
detects this voltage and automatically switches
to record.
When the timer recording is finished, pin 8
is switched back to input mode and is again
ready to relay the VCR signal on playback.

Video recorder/PVR connection
Connect your recorder and the receiver (VCR socket) using
a Scart cable. If you have a S-VHS (S-Video) recorder, from
the “Installation” menu select the “Signal paths” sub-menu
and change the selection (TV Scart VCR) so that the “YC”
signal is output at the VCR socket.
Recording
To record a programme now running, 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 – any on-screen displays would be recorded along
with the programme.
For recording with the timer, refer to the “Timer” section.
Playback
Playback via your recorder i.e. transmission of the signal
from the VCR to the TV set, takes place automatically when
the receiver is operating or in standby. The switching voltage
from 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 (green). To switch
back to the recorder playback, press the
twice.
Note:
! button (green)
The ! button (green) controls the TV switching voltage
(pin 8) at 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. During normal
operation, without a recorder, use the ! button (green) to
switch between the receiver channel and an additional

the TV set might, for example, come from your existing
“analogue” antenna, from a cable connection or from a
DVD player connected directly to the TV. The display of
video signals available on the TV set is dependent on the
specification of your TV set. In the above operating mode
with a recorder during playback, the ! button (green) would
thus set the video sources from the TV, the recorder and
the receiver one after the other.

Digital/analogue – audio mode
In digital satellite technology the picture and sound are
generally transmitted in digital format (MPEG-coded).
Where the term “Analogue 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 analogue format.
By contrast, in “Digital audio mode” the signals are
transmitted in digital format via the “Digital” cinch socket to
corresponding terminal devices, such as a Dolby Surround
system, for decoding. Two-channel stereo signals (encoded
53
Audio settings
in PCM format) or complex multi-channel surround signals
(Dolby Digital/AC 3) can be transmitted on the digital socket.
Press the " button (yellow) to access the “Digital/analogue
audio mode” menu. You can use this menu purely as an
information display and press the " button (yellow) again to
quit it immediately, or you can change various settings.
Analogue outputs
In the right-hand window you see the current signal status
of the connections at the rear of your satellite receiver.
An analogue audio signal is received at the cinch sockets
and via the TV and VCR Scart sockets.
In some cases, bilingual programmes are also broadcast
over the two “Left” and “Right” stereo channels. If this is
the case, you would hear German through the left channel
and English through the right, for example. To hear just one
language, use the % button to select “Mono-L” or “Mono-R”
and confirm your selection by pressing the button. The
current selection is highlighted in white.
Most bilingual or multilingual programmes are however
broadcast on separate audio tracks. In this case, the lefthand window would display German under 1 and English
under 2, and you would hear both languages in stereo.
Use the
%
buttons to select the language you want and
confirm your selection by pressing the button. The
currently 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 window is dictated by the broadcaster.
Line 1 might indicate “Deutsch” or “ger” instead of “Stereo”
for example.

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, select the language or audio track you want
from the left-hand window by pressing the

button and
press the button to confirm your selection. The currently
selected audio track is highlighted in white.
The number of languages and audio tracks offered is
dictated by the programme provider.
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 programmes up to 20 PCM-encoded audio tracks
may be available, which you can select using the
% button
and confirm by pressing the button.
“AC 3 – general”:
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 “Signal
paths/digital audio”).

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
DVB MPEG-2
EB/NO ratio
FEC
If DiSEqC™ switching matrices are cascaded, the master
receiver must transmit the DiSEqC™ signal several times,
so that all DiSEqC™ multi-switches in the cascade receive
their commands.
These days, DiSEqC™ components (slaves) must be
reverse 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 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 MB/s.
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 is the abbreviation for Forward Error Correction. The
FEC error rate corresponds to the Viterbi rate.

Short technical guide
PID
PIP
Symbol rate
Transponder
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 PCR PID is normally
identical to the video PID. For programmes broadcast in
multiple languages, the audio PID 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.
Picture In Picture function
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.
A transponder is a satellite channel which transmits TV and
radio signals. A satellite has several transponders.
Analogue transponders transmit only one TV channel and
possibly multiple radio programmes on the transmission
frequency.
Digital transponders simultaneously transmit several TV and
several radio programmes at 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
Viterbi rate
64
The video bit rate describes the quantity of data from the
digitised video signal that is transmitted per second.
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
