JollyLine multi compact - User Manual

This document describes the multi compact DVB-S2/T2/C digital satellite meter, a professional tool designed for the installation and maintenance of satellite dishes and antenna systems. It supports dCSS and h.265 HVEC decoding, offering a comprehensive set of features for signal measurement and system setup.

Function Description

The multi compact is a digital meter for signal strength and quality, fully compliant with DVB-S/S2/T/T2/C standards. It features MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264/MPEG4 AVC, and H.265/HEVC hardware decoding, allowing it to display high-definition video signals. The device supports both automatic and manual scanning for channels and transponders. It includes an audible and visual alarm for signal lock, aiding in quick and accurate dish alignment. The meter can automatically calculate the azimuth (AZ) and elevation (EL) angles for satellite positioning. It also supports various DiSEqC protocols (1.0/1.1/1.2), Unicable systems, and 0/22kHz tone control, making it compatible with a wide range of LNBs and satellite configurations.

• Ensure the satellite dish is installed with correct direction and angle. Contact a local dealer if issues arise.
• If the unit is moved from a cold to a hot area, turn it off and restart after 1-2 hours to prevent problems.
• Keep the meter in a clean, well-ventilated space.
• Do not cover the meter or place it on heat-emitting units.
• Clean the case with a soft cloth and a small amount of washing liquid.
• Do not remove the cover.
• Avoid exposing the unit to extreme heat, cold, or humid conditions.
• Prevent liquids or other materials from entering the unit.

Troubleshooting

The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:

• No display light up: Check power switch and battery.
• No sound or picture, but power light is ON: Pull out AV IN cable.
• No sound or picture (satellite related): Adjust dish, check signal level in Antenna Setup Menu, check cable connections, LNB, and other equipment.
• Bad picture/Blocking Error: Adjust dish, connect a signal attenuator if signal is too strong, change to a larger dish if satellite dish is too small, change to an LNB with lower noise factor, or replace faulty LNB.
• AV out No picture (Video): Check UHF channel, tune UHF properly, ensure TV is not in AV mode, check battery, or use adapter.
• Key not working: Ensure no blocks between the front panel.
