Connection and Startup
The following section is specifically intended for the specialist dealer.
You only need to read this section if you are carrying out the
installation yourself.
You will find sample configurations in the section "Connection
examples".
First carry out all installation work before connecting the receiver to
the mains power supply. Refer to the information provided in the
section on "Safety“.
To connect the receiver
Antenna connection
DVB-T television was developed to provide a good TV picture
wherever an adequate signal can be received. "Ghost or double
images" are no longer a problem.
Connect the receiver either to your conventional individual or
communal antenna that receives all VHF/UHF signals or use a DVB-T
antenna specially developed by Kathrein for direct home reception.
Even DVB-T TV cannot work miracles – you must have a good
reception signal. Problems may arise in concrete buildings if you are
only using a room antenna.
Presetting of reception antenna
If you use or have to use an active antenna, i.e. an antenna with
preamplifier, it is possible to supply power to this antenna via the
antenna input in the receiver. The default is set to "OFF" to ensure no
damage can occur. Make sure you use an antenna that is designed
for a supply voltage of 5 V (see page 16).
TV connection
Use a SCART cable to connect the receiver (TV SCART) and TV set.
If your TV set is equipped for stereo output, you can receive the sound
in stereo via the SCART connection.
Audio connection
If you wish to reproduce the sound via a HiFi system, connect a
corresponding Cinch cable from the audio Cinch jacks and the input
sockets on your HiFi system.
Dolby connection
The Dolby digital data output (AC3) is provided solely for connection
to a Dolby digital sound system.
Inserting batteries in the remote control
Remove the cover on the battery compartment on the underside of the
remote control.
Insert the two supplied batteries in the remote control. Ensure correct
polarity of the batteries, the + and – markings are indicated inside the
battery compartment.
Slide the cover back into the casing and lock in position.
Used batteries are special waste!
Therefore do not throw batteries into the household waste but rather
deposit them at a collection depot for old batteries!
