Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature (Cont.)

Note: While a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, a TV can only ever be in (set for) one Zone. See also the FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 55.

At the same time, keep in mind that the TV Zone designations are not mutually exclusive. That is, you may opt to place Zone restrictions on selected channels in the FTG Channel Map, but at the same time, you can choose to configure all TVs at the site with the same Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu settings. For example, an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file being used to configure the TVs at a site may contain multiple Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu profiles with different Zone assignments, as well as an FTG Channel Map with Zone restrictions on several channels. Each TV that still has the default TV Zone 0 setting will only be configured by the Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu profile(s) with a Zone 0 designation. If, on the other hand, the TV Zone # is set to 1, the TV will first look in the file for the LY560M Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu profile(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the LY560M Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu profiles has a Zone 1 designation, the TV will then look for the LY560M profile(s) with a Zone 0 designation. For the FTG Channel Map configuration, when the TV Zone # is set to 0, the TV will ignore any Zone restrictions (1–8) that may be placed on channels in the FTG Channel Map. However, when the TV Zone # is set to 1, the TV will omit any channels that have been restricted from Zone 1 in the FTG Channel Map.

Using the TV Zoning Feature with Cloning Configuration

A location-specific configuration / TLX file may be saved (Learned) from an individual TV as part of a Master TV Setup and then be used during Teaching. For example, if the TV Zone # in the Master TV is set to 3 before Learning is initiated, the Master TV’s Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu profiles will be saved with the TV Zone 3 assignment when Learning is completed. In order to configure the Target TVs with the Zone 3 Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu profiles Learned from the Master TV, you must set the TV Zone # accordingly in the Target TVs before transferring (Teaching) the Master TV Setup. See “Set the TV Zone # in the TV” below. Also, see “Learning / Teaching a Master TV Setup using a TLX File” on pages 41 to 43 for additional information on the cloning processes. TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.

Set the TV Zone # in the TV

Use the following procedure to set a TV Zone # in the TV. Note that this procedure can only be performed while the TV is in Pass-through Mode.

1.Turn ON the TV.

2.Press MENU on the Installer Remote, and use the arrow navigation keys to select/highlight the OPTION menu option. Then, press OK.

3.Use the Up/Down arrows to select Zone, and then press OK.

4.In the Zone pop-up window, you can set the TV Zone # so that the TV can be configured with Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu settings intended only for the assigned Zone. The Installer Menu and/ or TV Setup Menu settings may be provided in a TLX file to be used for configuration. If the TV is being configured for FTG Mode, the TV Zone # setting also allows the TV to omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map. Use the Left/Right arrow keys to select the TV Zone # (1–8) for this TV. Then, press OK.

5.Press MENU to return to TV viewing.
