Custom Master TV Setup

This section describes how to create a customized Master TV Setup for cloning purposes when the TV is in Pass-through Mode.

Note: Cloning requirements and procedures are described in detail on pages 34 to 42. Refer to “FTG Mode of Operation Overview” on pages 43 to 44 for information on FTG Mode operation and configuration.

Before You Begin

•It is recommended that you disconnect all Aux inputs if you intend to run Auto Tuning (Channel Search). Under certain conditions, Auto Tuning is disabled if there is an Aux input active.

•Determine which cloning tool—USB memory device or clone programmer—is appropriate for your application; several of the Master TV Setup procedure steps are dependent on the cloning tool to be used. See “Cloning Methods” at right for further information.

•If you intend to use a USB memory device, determine the type of file—either the new “.tlx” file format or the legacy “.tll” file format—to use for cloning purposes; several of the Master TV Setup procedure steps are dependent on the desired file type. See “Cloning Methods” at right for further information.

•If the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen, exit the wizard before beginning/continuing the Custom Master TV Setup procedure.

Cloning Methods

See also “Clonable TV Setup Menu Features” list below.

Using a USB Memory Device / .tlx File

•The .tlx file format clones Installer Menu settings and all TV sources’ (analog, digital, AV1, HDMI, etc.) clonable setup menu settings.

•Not intended for cloning an auto-tuned/edited Channel Map, as the channel lineup is converted to a logical FTG Channel Map when saved (Learned) from a TV to a .tlx file. If the .tlx file with the FTG Channel Map is then used for Teaching purposes, all Target TVs will be configured for FTG Mode via CPU.

Using a USB Memory Device / .tll File

The .tll file format clones the contents of the commercial controller (PTC) memory, including an auto-tuned/edited Channel Map, Installer Menu settings, and one TV source’s (analog, digital, or Aux) clonable setup menu settings.

Using a Clone Programmer (TLL-1100A or LT2002)

Both the TLL-1100A and LT2002 clone the contents of the commercial controller (PTC) memory, including an auto-tuned/ edited Channel Map, Installer Menu settings, and one TV source’s (analog or Aux) clonable setup menu settings.
