Custom Master TV Setup (Cont.)

(Continued from previous page)

Note: If you intend to clone the PTC, remember that only one TV source’s clonable setup menu settings will be cloned. Thus, for a clone programmer, the TV setup menu settings should be applicable to either an analog channel or Aux input, while for a USB device / .tll file, the TV setup menu settings should be applicable to the analog or digital channel or Aux input to which the Target TV will be set during the Teaching process.

Note: If desired and if appropriate depending on the cloning method to be used (see “Cloning Methods” on page 15), you can run Auto Tuning (see step 3) prior to completing this step.

Note: The next three steps (4 to 6) are applicable for PTC cloning only (i.e., cloning using a USB memory device / .tll file or clone programmer). If you intend to use a USB memory device / .tlx file for cloning purposes, proceed directly to step 7 to verify the TV setup.

4. (PTC cloning only / Optional) Run Auto Tuning.

 

 

 

Note: If you run Auto Tuning with the intention to clone the resulting Channel

 

 

 

Map, you MUST use a USB memory device / .tll file or a clone programmer

 

CHANNEL

Move Enter

for this cloning purpose. If you Teach a .tlx file with an auto-tuned/edited

 

 

 

 

 

 

Channel Map to a Target TV, this will put the Target TV in FTG Mode via CPU.

 

• Auto Tuning

 

 

 

a)

To search for all available analog and digital channels, go to the Channel

 

• Manual Tuning

 

 

• Channel Edit

 

 

Menu, select the Auto Tuning option, and follow the on-screen instructions.

 

 

 

 

• Channel Label

 

b)

Use the Channel Edit option in the Channel Menu to edit the channel

 

 

 

 

 

 

lineup, as necessary, to include only free to guest (non-encrypted) channels.

 

 

 

 

•

Add/delete channels per your system requirements.

 

 

 

 

•

Use the Channel Label option in the Channel Menu to select the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

appropriate trademark/icon for each channel’s Channel-Time on-screen

Use Channel Menu options to

 

 

display. Icons are available for familiar channels, such as ABC, CBS,

 

 

run Auto Tuning, edit channels,

 

 

NBC, etc. Identifiable labels (icons) should enable the end user to readily

 

and select channel icons.

 

 

know what common networks are available.

 

 

 

Note: If Installer Menu item 103 ATSC TUNE MODE is set for Physical Channel tuning (default and recommended setting), channels with minor channel numbers higher than 255 will not transfer correctly in step 5. If item 103 is set for Virtual Channel tuning and either the major or minor channel numbers are higher than 255, the channel(s) will not transfer correctly in step 5.

Note: You can add the channel icons in this step or as described in step 6. Also in step 6, you can add custom text labels for channels without icons.

5.(PTC cloning only) Transfer the TV setup menu settings to the commercial controller (PTC): 2-5-5 + MENU Mode

Note: This step is essential for successful cloning using a USB memory device / .tll file or a clone programmer. Without this step, the PTC will not contain any of the TV setup menu settings.
