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 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.
In the contents on the next page you will see the main headings of the respective chapters of this operating manual. At the beginning of each chapter we have also provided a short list summarising the points that are covered in that chapter.

The power switch is an environmentally friendly feature. If you will not be using your receiver for an extended period, you should use the power switch to disconnect it from the power supply and save energy. For shorter breaks, you can use the remote control to switch the receiver to standby, which uses only a minimal amount of energy.
We want you a good reception and hope you will enjoy using your new HDTV receiver.
Your
KATHREIN team
Difference between PAL and HDTV
The difference between PAL and HDTV
“High definition television” is characterised by a significantly higher number of picture lines on the TV set. The usual European standard PAL achieves a resolution of 576 lines vertically and 720 lines horizontally.
A HDTV picture can contain up to five times as many picture points, i.e. approximately 2 million pixels, compared to a conventional PAL picture with only approximately 400,000 pixels.
Worldwide, there are currently two HDTV standards based on the two formats 1080i and 720p. The two standards differ in the number of picture lines and in the transmission procedure. For the human eye, the difference between the two HDTV standards is hardly perceptible, however; in comparison to the PAL system, moving pictures look much more dynamic. Transmission technology and reception equipment will be able to handle both standards in the future.
