Controls, displays and connections Front panel Location slot for infrared sensor Detachable infrared sensor Receiver for infrared signals from the remote control. The detachable infrared sensor allows the receiver to be in- stalled hidden from view. All that is necessary is for the in- frared sensor to be within the reception area of the infrared signals from the remote control.
Safety instructions Sicherheitshinweise The following section contains important information relating to operation, place of installation and connecting-up of the receiver. Read these notes carefully before putting the unit into operation. Important notes regarding operation Extended absence/Thunderstorms During periods of extended absence or at the onset of thunderstorms always dis- connect the unit from the supply, or withdraw the mains plug if the power supply unit is used.
If the feeder system (LNB) is supplied with an external supply voltage and the LNB supply voltage is not used for polarity switchover (e.g. Kathrein single-cable feeder system UAS 330), the receiver‘s LNB supply must be set to “OFF”(refer to section: “Initial settings, LNB supply voltage“).
Please take note of guidance in section: “Safety- and Installation Instructions” Installing the receiver The UFD 345 satellite receiver is suitable for mobile use in motor homes or cara- vans, but can also serve as a fixed station in the home.
Connecting up and putting into operation Connect inner hollow conductor plug to the power supply socket (6). Caution! If the power supply cable is modified or a different one is used, it is essential to check for correct polarity. Incorrect polarity will result in damage to the receiver. For fixed applications use the accompanying power supply unit 230 V~/16 V=.
Connecting up and putting into operation TV and video recorder connection (VCR) Connect-up the satellite receiver (TV Scart socket) and TV set with a Scart ca- ble. If your TV set has stereo capability, a Scart connection allows you to receive the sound in stereo.
Receiver operation Bedienung des Receivers In this chapter you learn how to select TV and radio programmes using your re- ceiver, and how to adjust the volume and set up other functions. Switching the unit on Once the supply voltage is connected the unit goes into standby mode. normal operation.
Receiver operation Note With the setting “2- or 3-digit programme selection” there is a switch to the desired programme after approximately 3 seconds. Digits can be entered during this time period. With the setting “free programme selection“, the receiver switches to the corre- sponding programme slot immediately after each input.
Receiver operation Stereo- / Mono- / Channel changeover Broadcasts can be transmitted in the two-tone channel method (e.g. original tone “English" on channel 1, “German" tone on channel 2). Press the nel in the order: Stereo The selected channel is shown on the screen. The setting is not saved.

Press the The screen display for the “Insert“ function now appears: Select programme slot P003 using the Press the The programme from programme slot 83 is now inserted at programme slot 3.

Programming TV programmes Programmieren von TV-Programmen The satellite receiver has already been factory pre-programmed for satellite re- ceiving systems with feed systems (receiving system) which have an oscillator fre- quency of 9.75 GHz. All of the programmes set up are listed in the table enclosed. If your satellite receiving system uses a feed system with a different oscillator fre- quency, the receiver only needs to be matched to the feed system oscillator fre- quency during the installation.

Initial settings can be invoked only from the switched-off state. (power supply interrupted). Calling the initial setup menu Withdraw the mains supply plug (inner hollow conductor plug) from the socket (6). Press both the programme selection buttons (4) and keep them pressed. Insert the unit‘s mains supply plug again.
Here you can turn off the power supply for the feed system if this is implemented by an external power supply and signal selection is likewise not carried out by means of the LNB supply voltage (e.g. Kathrein single-cable feed system UAS 330).
As a result, you can easily install the UFD 345 on other receiving systems without needing to reprogramme every single programme slot. You only need to set up the particular oscillator frequencies that your receiving system uses.
(also termed Simple DiSEqC or just DiSEqC) DiSEqC 1.0 DiSEqC 2.0 The UFD 345 receiver is equipped with both the tone-burst signal and DiSEqC 1.0. The setting required is dependent on the components of your receiving system. Settings in the DiSEqC Call the initial setup menu (see paragraph “Calling the initial setup menu“).
Initial settings 22 kHz signal In this menu entry, you specify whether the 22 kHz signal is to be used to switch between a satellite‘s lower and upper frequency range (low/high) or to switch be- tween two satellite positions (Pos. A/B). 22 kHz: High/Low: (Factory preset) 22 kHz: Pos A/B :...
The “Remote” setting in the “DiSEqC” menu entry is intended for future applica- tions. If the UFD 345 receiver is operated in a receiving system with a “Subscriber- controlled preprocessing system“ e.g. “Kathrein UFO mini digital”, Remote must be set in the DiSEqC menu.
Features Ausstattungsmerkmale The UFD 345 receiver is equipped with the following features: 200-channel memory for TV programmes, freely programmable 99-channel memory for radio programmes, freely programmable Low-threshold tuner for picture optimisation when reception is poor Selectable oscillator frequencies allow troublefree matching to feed systems with divergent oscillator frequencies.
