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 therefore use the power switch to disconnect it from
the power supply to 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 PVR satellite receiver.
Your
KATHREIN Team
Important Information
The channels available on the satellites and transponders are
subject to continual change. In such cases, it is necessary
to reset the channels as the factory preset programming
corresponds to the situation on the date of manufacture.
The information for this reset can be found on the Internet
or in relevant magazines.
Your receiver is factory fitted with the latest software version.
We, however, always work on adapting the software to the
wishes of our customers and to developments in technology.
The “Software and Programme List Update” section contains
additional information.
Please keep the original packaging in case you need to
return the product at any time.
The hard disks are fragile due to their construction and
are only adequately protected in the receiver by the
original packaging.
If receiver is not shipped correctly the warranty on the
hard disk will be voided.
Make a note of the receiver’s basic settings, so as to be
able to restore them if necessary!

Receiver Features
The UFS 821 has two separate tuners for simultaneous reception of
two channels, and a hard disk for recording and playback.
Depending on constellation, you can
• view one programme and record another to hard disk,
• play back one recording from the hard disk and record one
programme to hard disk, or
• record two programmes to hard disk and play back one recording
from the hard disk, or
• record two programmes to hard disk and view a programme from one
of the programme packages being received.
To take advantage of all these opportunities, complex operating
procedures are necessary. You should therefore read this operating
manual thoroughly.
Our new UFS 821 multifunction satellite receiver has two independent
reception and signal processing circuitries as well as a computer hard
disk with a recording capacity of 160 GB.
This 160 GB hard disk enables over 100 hours of TV and radio
programmes to be recorded and replayed either simultaneously or
time-shifted without quality loss.
The tvtv EPG, which is professionally edited, provides free information
on some 60 channels without the need to change programme, even up
to a week in advance.
However, the really special attraction of this multi-talented unit lies in
the wealth of features offered by the receiver, such as the picture-in-
picture (PIP) function, transfer of the MPEG data stream to PC, and
import, playback and storage of MP3 files. The JPEG viewer allows
you to save your photographs on the hard disk and create a slide show.
The alphanumeric display shows channel names and radio data. The
multifunction control on the front of the unit matches the modern design
of the receiver and enables the receiver to be operated manually.
The receiver operating system is based on LINUX and offers additional
convenient functions.

Connection and Setup
The following section is intended specifically for specialist dealers. You
only need to read 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 a standard F connector.
If the F connectors are not yet fitted on the cable, strip the insulation
from the cables as shown in the following illustration and carefully twist
the F 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.
If tone-burst switch matrices are used in the reception system, the default
selection in the installation menu, Antenna Setup, Tuner 1 and Tuner 2,
under “DiSEqC™ Switch”, must be changed. Refer to the “Installation
Menu” section on this, under “Antenna Setup”, “Tuner 1” and “Tuner 2”.
Be sure to follow the operating instructions for the matrix used.

Connection and Setup
Operation on one Antenna Connection
To enable you to utilise all the reception and recording properties of your
UFS 821 twin-PVR satellite receiver, such as
1. recording one programme and at the same time viewing any other
programme or zapping through the channels, and
2. recording two different programmes at the same time,
the two tuner inputs of the satellite receiver must each be supplied with
a dedicated satellite signal from the antenna system/Sat outlet.
The receiver tuner inputs are factory preset on the installation menu to
work with two separate Sat antenna connections.
If you only have one antenna connection available, we recommend you
interconnect the output of tuner 1 and the input of tuner 2 by a coaxial
cable with F connectors.
For this, in “First Installation” for tuner input 2 select “Loop-through
mode” (see “First Installation” section).
Press the button to access the “Tuner Input” menu option, then
choose “Installation” and “First Installation”. Go through step-by-step
until you get to Tuner Setup. You can make the settings here.
