Zenith L20V54S Reference Detailed Information For Making a Master TV, Detailed Instructions

To set up a master TV you will need to know how to enter the L20V54S Installer menu and make changes to the default values as required. If necessary, familiarize yourself with the L20V54S Installer menu and how to

make and save changes in the menu, before attempting to clone the L20V54S Master TV setup.

You will also need an Installer remote control similar to the one shown in the front of this manual.

Finally, the TV’s clonable features need to be set up. This is a critical step. If the Master TV display panel’s clonable features like

adding channel icons or channel labels are not correctly added, then the cloned L20V54Ss TVs will all have problems.

As the cloning procedure is being performed, specific steps need to be done at the indicated times to achieve the desired result. Be sure to do each task as indicated. If a procedure or step is left out or not performed completely, cloning may not work. At each step, pay attention to assure the TV screen shows the proper message when cloning. If the message indicated does not appear, there is a problem with that step and cloning may not be successful. Cloning is only possible when the signal source is an Analog channel, not a digital channel.
