Foreword
Foreword
Dear customer,
This User's Guide is designed to help you to use the extensive functions of your new satellite receiver most effectively.
We have made every effort to make the instructions as clear and understandable as possible and to keep them as short as necessary.
You will find a small glossary of terms at the end of the User's Guide
to facilitate understanding of certain technical expressions that do not
lend themselves to translation.
We have designed the power switch specifically with the environment
in mind. Therefore, in order to save electricity, disconnect your receiver from the mains if you will not be watching TV for a longer period
of time. For shorter periods you can switch the receiver to standby
with the remote control to reduce power consumption to a minimum.
We wish you the very best reception and great pleasure with your new
DVB Sat receiver.
Your
KATHREIN Team
Important notes
Should you, contrary to all expectations, experience problems with
your receiver, please contact your dealer.
Changes keep on being made with regard to the channel arrangement
of the satellites and transponders. Accordingly it is necessary in such
cases to reset the channel settings, although the pre-programming in
the factory always corresponds to the latest status. You can take the
information for this new setting from the SAT.1 video text, from the
Internet or the corresponding periodicals.
Your receiver was equipped ex works with the latest software in each
case. However, we are constantly endeavouring to adapt the software
to the wishes of our customers and the state of the art. You will find
further information about this in the “Software and channel list update”
section.
Please keep the original packaging for possible return shipment!
The UFD 506 is intended only for free
channels - no CI shaft!
The UFD 516 CI receives free and encrypted channels (page 34).

Channel administration with channel pool and 10 favourite banks
Digital television brings you as viewer a large number of new channels. Already far more than 1,200 TV and more than 600 radio channels can be received with a satellite reception system, which is designed for instance for receiving the ASTRA 19° east and EUTELSAT/HOT-BIRD 13° east satellites. It is true that more than one half of
these channels are encrypted and can be decoded only with corresponding CA modules, but an extensive number of channels that have
to be administered still remains. In addition, the channels of a further
six satellites are pre-programmed in the receiver.
To be able to control this range of channels and to keep it manageable, the memory for the TV channels is divided into two areas – into a
so-called channel pool with 2,000 storage places and into 10 associated favourite banks with 1,000 storage spaces in each case.
10
Channel Selection
The radio channels are organized identically, i.e. there is a separate
channel pool for 2,000 radio storage places and a further 10 associated radio favourite banks with 1,000 places each.
Note:
Please note that after a satellite, transponder or manual search, the
newly found channels are stored in the channel pool under “New free”
or “New CA”.
You will find all channels of the channel pool in the right selection window in the “Channel arrangement” menu.
Select the “All Free” or “All CA” (CA stands for ‘Conditional Access’,
i.e. for encrypted channels) with the TE button if you want to copy a
channel from the channel pool into one of the favourite banks.
Both the previous (= old) channels as well as the new channels found
by a preceding search are located in the “All Free” and “All CA” selection.
After a search it is advantageous to make the “New free” or “New CA”
selection with the TV button, since only the channels found newly by
the search are listed here.
With the [P-] or [P+] buttons you can select and assess the channels
and if you like them copy them with the [TEXT] button into one or else
into several of your favourite banks (you will find further details about
this below).
The favourite banks are currently pre-programmed ex works as follows (changes reserved):
Favourite Bank
F0: General
F1: News
F2: Sports
F3: Music
F4: Travel
F5: Shopping
F6: ITALY
F7: AUSTRIA
F8: SPAIN
F9: Bank-9
Available channels
The most important free channels of ASTRA 19° east and
EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° east are located at the beginning of the list.
Channels of further satellites then follow.
Selection of news channels (Phoenix, n-TV, N-24 …)
Selection of sports channels (DSF, Eurosport …)
Selection of music channels (MTV, VIVA …)
Selection of channels from various travel destinations
Selection of advertising and sales channels
Channels of EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13°
Contains all channels from F0: General (only for UFD 516)
In addition:
ORF 1 on channel place 1 (P001),
ORF 2 on channel place 2 (P002) and the local channels on the following places.
ARD is thus shifted to channel place 12 (P003). All following channels
from F0: General are also shifted.
Contains the channels of Hispasat 33°
The favourite bank 9 contains PREMIERE channels (only UFD 516).
You can also change the names of the favourite banks (see “Changing favourite names”) and/or change the arrangement of the favourite
banks. It is also conceivable that family members create individual favourite banks with their names.
It is also possible for users possessing more than two CA modules to
sort names and contents of favourite banks according to programme
providers or according to the relevant encryption system.
You can achieve more clarity inside a favourite bank if you use
“~~~~~~” as channel name. This is a “dummy” channel that you can
use as placeholder. You will find this placeholder in the “Channel arrangement” menu with the TV button under “All Free”.
Placeholders are “dummy” channels used to provide greater clarity in
the arrangement of favourite banks, e.g. by forming channel groups.
The display for placeholder channels is organized as follows:
11
Channel Selection
Satellite 1 =
ASTRA 19
“~ ~~~~~~~”
Satellite 2 =

The above example shows how a placeholder can be used, in order
for instance to place the channels of a channel group in a certain
memory place.
The favourite banks are selected by pressing the F button followed by
an assigned number button 0...9.

Channel Selection
Digital output
The receiver has an audio output for the AC 3 format (Dolby Digital).
Thus you have the possibility of bringing cine sound into your living
room. Connect the digital audio output only with a corresponding system.
Observe in any event the operating instructions of your Dolby
Digital system.
Only a few programme providers transmit the AC 3 format. If no AC 3
signal is received, you can only make the customary stereo or mono
settings or select the languages that are also transmitted.
Digital/Analogue – Audio Mode
In digital satellite technology picture and sound are generally transmitted in digital form (MPEG-coded).
If the term “Analogue–Audio Mode” is used in this section, this means
that the digital signals in the receiver are converted into analogue audio signals and made available in analogue form at the “Left” and
“Right” Cinch sockets as well as at the TV and VCR Scart socket.
On the other hand in the “Digital–Audio Mode” the signals are forwarded for decoding in digital form through the “Digital” Cinch socket
to corresponding terminals, for example to a Dolby Surround system.
Both 2-channel stereo signals (coded in PCM format) or else complex
multi-channel surround signals (Dolby Digital/AC 3) can be transmitted
at the digital socket.
After you press the [OPT] button, the “Digital/Analogue-Audio-Mode”
menu is displayed. You can use this menu as information display and
exit it again immediately by pressing the [OPT] button again – or else
change different settings.
Analogue outputs
In the right-hand window you see the current signal status of the connections on the rear panel of your satellite receiver.
You receive an analogue audio signal at the Cinch sockets and
through the TV and VCR Scart sockets.
Bilingual programmes are transmitted separately through the two
“Left” and “Right” stereo channels. In this case you would hear for instance “German” on the left and “English” on the right loudspeaker. To

hear only one language, select “Mono-L” or “Mono-R” with the button and confirm your selection with the [OK] button. The current selection is highlighted white.
However, most bilingual or multilingual programmes are transmitted
through separate audio tracks. In this case it is shown in the left window e.g. under 1 = German and under 2 = English, in which case you
can hear both languages in each case in stereo sound. Select the de-

sired language with the buttons and confirm your selection with the
[OK] button. The currently selected language (or audio track) is highlighted white.
The stereo display in the following figure means that only one language is transmitted in stereo. The contents in the left window are set
by the broadcasting station – for instance in line 1 in the left window
“Deutsch” or “ger” could also be displayed instead of “Stereo”.
13
Channel Selection
Digital output
In the right window you see in each case the current signal status at
the digital output (= digital Cinch socket).
If “PCM“ is displayed, then the digital signal is coded in the PCM format.
If “AC 3” is displayed, then the audio signal is coded in the Dolby Digital format.
Select, if offered, the desired language or audio track in the left win-

dow with the button and confirm your selection with the [OK] button.
The currently selected audio track is highlighted white.
The number of offered languages and audio tracks is set by the programme provider.
In this case a PCM-coded language or audio track is always displayed. However, two or several PCM-coded language or audio tracks
can also be offered with one or several AC 3-coded languages or audio tracks.
In radio channels up to 20 PCM-coded audio tracks can be available
which you can select with the
ton.

Timer
The “Timer Programming” menu is selected in the main menu under
item 5. Up to 8 timer events can be entered optionally with TV or radio
channels.
Note:
Please note that in the selection “VCR Record = Standard” the video
recorder must also be set to identical recording times (see also signal
paths / VCR record).
Note:
Please note that no remote control commands are accepted during a
timer recording, so that OSD picture displays are not recorded unintentionally. The volume is switched to full level for recording. As indication that a timer recording is active, “r E c” is displayed on the programme display on the receiver if a command is received from the
remote control.

EPG – Electronic Programme Guide (base navigator)
Information on the current and following programme are displayed in
the EPG (Electronic Programme Guide).
The extent of this information accompanying the programme is determined by the relevant programme provider and differs very much from
channel to channel. Many programmes are also broadcast without
useful additional information (SI data).
It is also similar with the programme preview. Some programme providers transmit no data, others already transmit a programme preview
with additional information up to a few days in advance.
You call up and also exit again the EPG programme information with
the [EPG] button.
a) Current and next programme
[EPG] shows title, start and end of the current programme and,
according to programme provider, further information on the programme.
Pressing the [EPG] button once again shows title, start and end of
the next programme and, according to programme provider, further information about the programme.
You exit the programme information again with [EPG].
You exit the programme information immediately with [EXIT].

The search run also finds channels containing no usable TV programme. A test picture for instance can therefore be detected in advance and cannot be inadvertently entered into one of the channel
lists.
Note:
The transparency of the display can be switched between variable
and fixed (fixed is opaque) with the [■] button.
The transparency can be increased or reduced with the [◄] [►] buttons in the ‘var’ mode.

“Signal” submenu with button [i]. Turn the antenna so that an optimum
is shown in the scales for field strength and reception quality.
With very weak signals the field strength scale can also go to “0” – in
this case you optimise the signal with the scale for the reception quality.
If the “No signal” text is displayed and only the signal for the field
strength is displayed, then the antenna is possibly aligned to a (not
receivable) satellite for analogue signals.
The field strength or reception quality is in this case displayed on the
7-segment display of the receiver.

Parental Control
The five-digit parental control code (PIN) is set to 00000 in the condition on delivery.
Changing the parental control code (PIN):
Select the “Parental Control” menu with the button [4] under the main
menu “Channel Arrangement”. Then enter the {PIN} input field with
the button [2] or with the button [▼] and activate it with the [OK] button. Enter the “old” and your “new” PIN according to the following sequence.
Please enter your current PIN (= 00000 at the first selection).
Please enter the new PIN.
Please repeat the new PIN.
Caution!
Do not forget your PIN!
It is possible to return to the condition on delivery only in the specialist
workshop.
All channels are free in the condition on delivery – but you can lock
every individual channel against unauthorized access.
The channels to be locked are marked with equal rights in the “Favourite Lists” or “Channel Pool” menus with the [II] button. For this
purpose select “All Free” on the right-hand side and scroll through the
list to the channels that you want to lock.
In this case a “?” is placed in front of the current channel name. The
next channel is selected, so that you can also mark several channels
in sequence by pressing the [II] button repeatedly.
To delete the marking again, press the [II] button once again at the
desired channel.
Example:
Sky News
? Super Action
? Super Spezial
Activating parental control
To activate locking of the channels marked with “?”, switch the {Protection} input field in the “Parental Control” menu to “ON” and confirm
on exiting the menu with the [OK] button.
On selection of the marked channels, you are requested to enter your
five-digit PIN:
Note:
Please note that with parental control activated, the “Favourite List”,
“Channel Pool” and “Search” menus can be selected only after you
have entered your five-digit PIN.
21
Menu Structure - Channels
Thus overcoming parental control, e.g. by deleting the mark or setting
the locked channels by the transponder search run, is excluded (the
lock can also not be overcome via timer).
Note:
To deactivate parental control only briefly, e.g. in the evening, you can
switch the {Protection} input field back to “OFF” in the “Parental Control” menu.
The “?” marks are not changed in this case and act again after renewed activation of parental control, i.e. if the {Protection} input field is
switched back to ON!
Search run
Satellite search run
The satellite search run is over all frequencies of the selected satellite.
Select the desired settings in the order of the menu:
The individual parameters are selected after activation with the [OK]
button and then with the [►] or [◄] buttons.
We recommend starting the search run from time to time to find new
stations. Use the basic settings shown bold in this case.
If you want to search for an individual channel selectively, then you
can shorten the search runtime by restricting known parameters, e.g.
band (low) and symbol rate (22).
Select the desired satellite {ASTRA} > {Hotbird} > {Sat 3} > to
{Sat 8},
The band
{Low/High} > {Low} > {High},
(3) the symbol rate
{22+27,5} > {22} > {27,5} > {FREE},
or a free symbol rate
{XXXX}
(Possible only if the symbol rate under item (3) was changed to
{FREE})
and start the search run with the [OK] button.
Choose whether the search should be for unencrypted or encrypted
channels or for both simultaneously:
Selection: “FREE“ or “CA” or “FREE+CA”
Note:
22
Some of the encrypted channels can also be received freely or freely
from time to time.
Menu Structure - Channels
Transponder search run
All channels of a transponder are searched for in the transponder
search run.
If the parameters (satellite, frequency, polarization, symbol rate) of the
searched for channel are known, the transponder search run can be
used.
For instance, if a new channel goes into operation for a known channel group, then it is sufficient to set a channel from this channel group
in advance using the channel selection, the required parameters are
assumed in the transponder search run.
If the “No signal” message appears in the “START” line, then no reception is possible. Please check once again the satellite, frequency,
polarization and symbol rate parameters.
The search run can be started only if “Signal!” is displayed.
Start the search run with the [OK] button.
Encrypted channels are identified with “$”. You can delete individually
with the [TEXT] button channels which you do not want to include in
the channel pool.
New channels are marked with “+”. They are assumed in the channel
pool by pressing the [OK] button.
Manual entry (for experts)
Should neither the satellite nor the transponder search run find the
desired channel, then all relevant reception parameters can be set in
the “Manual”. The manual entry is very helpful, for instance, if the reception data of the desired channel are known, but the channel does
not transmit continuously.

{OFF} position.
VCR signal
INPUT
In VCR playback you can choose between {CBVS/RGB} or
{YC} = S video for the connection of a S-VHS video recorder.
Picture format
All programmes are displayed in 4:3 format with the setting {4:3}.
With the setting {16:9}, programmes that are transmitted in broadband
format and for which the corresponding code is also transmitted are
switched over automatically to 16:9 display.
27
Installation Menu
The automatic adjustment of the picture width functions only if the TV
set can process and display 16:9 format (6-volt switching voltage).
VCR record
Two different modes for the VCR Scart socket are available for automatic VCR recording with the timer function (see respective menu
item):
Standard
The video output signal (connection 19 of the VCR socket) for the
VCR is always available.
The connection 8 of the VCR Scart socket (switching voltage) is
switched as input, i.e. if you press the playback button on your video
recorder, the video and audio signals coming from the video recorder
are switched through automatically by your satellite receiver through
the VCR to the TV Scart socket and forwarded from there to the TV
set.
For timer-controlled video recording in the standard mode, you must
enter identical start and end times for your video recorder and in the
“Timer programming” menu.
Sat-Record
The video output signal (connection 19 of the VCR socket) to the VCR
is always available.
In an active timer event, i.e. if the receiver switches to the desired
channel at the pre-programmed time, 12 V are output at connection 8
of the VCR Scart socket (12 V switching voltage).
A video recorder with “Sat-Record” capability detects this switching
signal and switches automatically to record.
After the end of recording connection 8 is switched again as input and
is ready for switching through the VCR signal on playback.
Digital audio
Two modes are available for the digital output of your satellite receiver:
Standard
The signal at the digital output is coded in the PCM format (“PCM”).
Dolby Digital/AC 3
If you have a Dolby Digital system, you can select the “Dolby Digital”
mode.
If your satellite receiver receives a Dolby Digital-coded audio signal,
the digital output is switched automatically to the Dolby Digital format
(“AC 3”).
Note:
In both modes you can check the current format of the signal at the
digital output at any time after pressing the [OPT] button and naturally
make a different selection as required.

CA (Conditional Access) = encrypted channels (only for UFD 516!)
General
You need a common interface / CA module (CAM) and a smart card
from your programme provider to receive encrypted channels.
Note that the CA modules with the associated smart cards decode
only the channels of your programme provider. If you have subscribed
to channels from several programme providers, you must possibly
change between different CA modules and/or the relevant smart
cards.
•
Follow the instructions of your programme provider regarding
CAM and your smart card.
•
Switch the receiver to stand-by. Open the front flap and introduce
the CAM into one of the two module holders. Introduce, if available, a second CAM into the other module holder.
•
Introduce the smart card into the associated CA module.
•
Modules and smart card are engaged correctly if the front flap can
be closed easily.
•
Leave the CA modules in the slots provided.
The smart card has a four-digit PIN code (Personal Identification
Number) – observe the instructions of your programme provider with
regard to this.
You can call up various information about your CA modules and smart
cards after activating the “CA” menu with the [OK] button.
You will find the extent and contents of these in the information and
documents of your programme provider.
