Safety instructions afety Information In the following section you will find important instructions for operating, locating and connecting the receiver. Read these instructions carefully before using the equipment. Important Locating and Setting-up Instructions Long absence/Lightning If you are going to be away for a long period, switch off the receiver at the mains. If you are using the receiver and lightening starts, also switch off at the mains.
If an external supply voltage is used as the supply voltage for the feeder-system (LNB) and polarity inversion can not be achieved (e.g. Kathrein single cable supply system UAS 330), then the receivers LNB voltage-supply must be switched to ”Off”...
Please see the section ”Safety and Location Information”. Receiver Location Although the satellite receiver UFD 346 is designed for mobile homes (campers) and caravans, it may also be used from a stationary position in the house. Locating the Receiver The receivers modern compact design with its reduced dimensions enables you to position the receiver within sight, i.e.
Connecting and Setting-up the Receiver Connecting the Equipment Voltage-Supplies When used as a mobile receiver, plug the supplied adapter cable (adapter cable with universal plug for car cigarette lighters or car socket and low voltage plug- socket.) directly into the onboard power unit (12 - 24 V). Connect the low voltage adapter cable to the power-supply socket (6).
Connecting and Setting-up the Receiver Decoder Connection You may also connect a Pay-TV decoder to the receiver by using a scart-cable. When decoding, the video signal is used and the switching signal is present, i.e. Premiere-decoder and video-encryption decoding, no other connection may be made at the same time.
Operating the Receiver Operating the Receiver In this chapter you will learn how to select TV and radio programs, set the required volume and other options. Switching on the equipment The equipment remains at ”Stand-by” as long as the voltage-supply is present. Use this remote control operation, which is indicated by a red LED (light diode) in the infra-red sensor.
Operating the Receiver Analog Radio Programs Analog radio programs are received using the well known "Wegener Panda 1" Standard. (DNR) Unlike digital ADR radio programs, information is not transmitted together with the analog radio programs. The program name must be entered in the setting-up menu for analog radio pro- grams.

Operating the Receiver Tone muting switch Press this The tone will be muted, allowing you to telephone undisturbed. Press this Important Stereo / Mono Channel Switching Transmissions may be recorded using the two channel system. (e.g. Original English tone on channel 1, German tone on channel 2). Press this Stereo The selected channel will be shown on the screen.
Operating the Receiver Channel numbers: changing, sorting and copying With the option ”Channel Sorting” you can change, sort and copy the TV and radio channels into any order you like. Example: You wish to move the program that is saved under channel "P083" to channel "P003".
Operating the Receiver Program Listings (Only in TV and analog radio modes) Press this The program listings are now displayed on the screen. The selected program is marked with these <..> characters. Tuning a Weak Reception Signal When the received signal is weak, e.g. spikes (herring-bone patterns) are dis- played at the picture edges, use the option "Picture Tuning"...
Selecting TV Programs Selecting TV Programs The satellite receiver has already been pre-programmed by the manufacturer as a satellite reception system with a feeder system working with a 9.75 GHz oscillator frequency. All selected programs are shown in the accompanying table. If you are going to use your satellite reception system with a feeder system that uses a different frequency, you must set the receiver to the oscillator frequency during the installation.

Selecting TV Programs Satellite frequencies The 5 digit frequencies in the range 10700 to 12747 MHz. may be entered by using the number buttons ceiving frequency correctly using 1 MHz. steps (recommended when the picture signal is weak and fading.) Polarity/Orbital Position In both of the following menus you may select the required LNB feed-voltage and the 22 kHz switching-signal (which is over-ridden by the LNB feed-voltage).
Selecting TV Programs The LO-Frequency groups are also used for satellite identification when our Auto- matic-Positioner HDP 160 is running a fully automatic set-up. The individual satellites have been assigned the following LO groups: Satellite Astra Eutelsat 13° Eutelsat 10° Eutelsat 16°...

The modes ”Stereo” and ”Mono-narrow” are set when the sub-carrier is received and ”Mono-wide”...
Selecting Radio Programs Selecting Radio Programs The program suppliers transmit new permanent radio programs over the satellites. You may save these programs using the ”Radio” menu. Select the new programs through: Manual selection of analog radio programs. Manual or automatic search selection of digital radio programs (ADR). To select radio programs in ”Radio”...
Basic Setting-up Basic Setting-up The ”Basic Setting-up” menu enables you to connect the receiver to the satellite reception system. Important The receiver has already been pre-programmed by the manufacturer as a standard satellite receiving system. Changes to the basic setting-up are only required if your receiving equipment is non-standard or you wish to use a non-standard reception system.
The voltage-supply for the feeder-system can be switched out, when it is supplied by an external source and the signal selection is not controlled by the LNB voltage- supply system. (i.e. Kathrein single cable feeder system UAS 330). When the receiver is connected to a satellite reception system with a switching matrix, then the polarity inversion voltage must be switched on.
The receiver calculates the required working frequency by subtracting the oscillator frequency from the satellite transmitting frequency saved with each program. This is why it is so easy to connect the UFD 346 to other reception systems, with- out having to re-program every individual channel.
(described as Simple DiSEqC or Easy DiSEqC) DiSEqC 1.0 DiSEqC 2.0 The UFD 346 receiver uses both Tone Burst Signal and DiSEqC 1.0. Which one is required depends upon the components in your reception-system. DiSEqC Menu Settings Call-up the basic setting-up menu (see section, ”Calling-up the Basic Setting-up menus”).
Remote The setting ”Remote” in menu-option ”DiSEqC” is for planned future modifications. If the receiver UFD 346 is connected to a reception-system with a ”subscriber con- trolled signal processing system e.g. ”Kathrein UFO mini digital ”, then Remote must be selected from the DiSEqC menu.
Basic Setting-up "EEPROM" Menu Option The menu option "EEPROM" is provided so that the service technician may read the program data in and out. Remote Control Command Set Switching The remote control includes 2 sets of command instructions. Therefore it is possi- ble to operate 2 independent 200 and 300 series satellite receivers in a room with only 1 remote-controller.
