Dear customer,<br />

this operating <strong>manual</strong> is intended to help you make the fullest use of the extensive range of functions<br />

offered by your new satellite <strong>receiver</strong>.<br />

We have tried to make the operating instructions as easy as possible to understand, and to keep them<br />

as concise as possible. To help you understand particular specialist terms that cannot be translated,<br />

we have added a short glossary at the end of the <strong>manual</strong>.<br />

The on/off switch is an environmentally friendly feature. If you will not be using your <strong>receiver</strong> for an<br />

extended period, you should use the on/off switch to disconnect it from the power supply and save energy.<br />

For shorter breaks, you can use the remote control to switch the <strong>receiver</strong> to standby, which uses only a<br />

minimal amount of energy.<br />

We want you a good reception and hope you will enjoy using your new <strong>HDTV</strong> <strong>receiver</strong>.<br />

Your<br />

KATHREIN team<br />

The difference between PAL and <strong>HDTV</strong><br />

High-resolution TV is characterised by<br />

a signifi cantly higher number of picture<br />

lines on the TV set. The usual European<br />

standard PAL achieves a resolution<br />

of 576 lines vertically and 720 lines<br />

horizontally. The high-resolution TV<br />

provides an impressive resolution, up<br />

to fi ve times higher than the usual PAL<br />

standard TV, and hence delivering more<br />

detail sharpness and responsiveness.<br />

PAL 720 x 576<br />

A <strong>HDTV</strong> picture can contain up to fi ve times as many picture points, that is, approximately 2 million pixels<br />

compared to a conventional PAL picture with only approximately 400,000 pixels.<br />

Worldwide there are currently two <strong>HDTV</strong> standards, based on the two formats 1080i and 720p. The<br />

two standards differ in the number of picture lines and in the transmission procedure. To the human<br />

eye, the difference between the two <strong>HDTV</strong> standards is hardly perceptible; whereas in comparison<br />

to the PAL system, moving pictures look much more dynamic in <strong>HDTV</strong>. Transmission technology and<br />

reception equipment will be able to handle both standards in the future.
