►MAIN MENU
Press Menu/OK to enter the MENU. Navigate through the MENU by using the buttons
“Left” / “Right” in each modulator display separately (MOD1, MOD2, MOD3, MOD4)
MOD1 & MOD2 in pair, produce one COFDM DVB-T, ISDB-T or QAM DVB-C MUX which
includes 2 TV channels. e.g. TV-1 & TV-2
MOD3 & MOD4 in pair, produce another COFDM DVB-T, ISDB-T or QAM DVB-C MUX
which includes 2 TV channels. e.g. TV-3 & TV-4
IMPORTANT:

►CONFIGURATION EXTRACTION (CFG)
For an advanced conguration of the HD modulator QUAD, you must extract the congu-
ration le one by one for each MODULATOR (MOD1, MOD2, MOD3, MOD4) separately,
to a USB drive, modify it and import it again in the respective HD modulator. To extract
the conguration le named jedi_cong.txt*, you must connect a USB drive** to the USB
slot, enter the Main Menu, select CFG and press key UP to extract
the le to the USB drive. When the message SUCC appears, the
process has been successfully completed.
*IMPORTANT: Τhe conguration le jedi_cong.txt should not be renamed!
**IMPORTANT: Use only FAT32 partitions! In any other case, the message FAIL
will indicate that the process has not been completed.

►CONFIGURATION IMPORT (CFG)
To import the conguration le jedi_cong.txt, to each MODULATOR (MOD1, MOD2,
MOD3, MOD4) separately, you must save the conguration le one by one in the root
directory* of a USB drive, insert the drive to the respective USB1, USB2, USB3 or USB4
slot and connect the PSU power to your HD Modulator. When you see this message CFG, press the MENU/OK
button to conrm the import process. When the process is completed, the unit will reboot with the new conguration!
*IMPORTANT: Use only FAT32 partitions. In any other case, the conguration le will not be read and the
device will reboot normally!

►FAST PRE-CONFIG FUNCTION / 50 IDS SELECTABLE
This feature enables the user to operate the unit hassle free by automatically setting the appropriate broadcasting table
information [ID] to provide a more convenient installation, easy to adjust anytime with no tools required*! This feature is
important when there are more than one HD modulators operating within the same TV coaxial distribution network. Τhe user
should change each unit’s broadcasting table information [ID] to be able for the end user devices to receive the channel.
The HD Modulator 3in1 QUAD is pre-congured with the following IDs.
HD 1 / mod 1 = ID-01 / TV-1 HD 2 / mod 2 = ID-02 / TV-2
HD 3 / mod 3 = ID-03 / TV-3 HD 4 / mod 4 = ID-04 / TV-4
*IMPORTANT: In order to change the Channel Name, you have to use the CFG function to extract, edit
and load the modied conguration le.
Example of 7* different ID’s:
*IMPORTANT: 7 sample ID congurations, out of 50 installed in the HD Μodulator 3in1 QUAD.
