Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature (Cont.)

At the same time, keep in mind that the TV Zone designations are not mutually exclusive. That is, you may opt to configure Zone restrictions for 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 designations, as well as several channels with Zone restrictions. Each TV configured with the default TV Zone 0 will download only 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, during configuration the TV will first attempt to retrieve Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu profiles with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu profiles has a Zone 1 designation, the TV will download the 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, during configuration, 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 USB Memory Device / .tlx File” on pages 37 to 38 for additional information on the cloning processes. TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.

Set the TV Zone # in the TV

You can set the TV Zone # in the EZ-Manager Wizard (see “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 11 to 18) or, if the TV is in Pass-through Mode, via the TV’s setup menus as described below. Note that the following procedure can only be performed while the TV is in Pass-through Mode. You will also be able to specify a Label (North, South, East, West) and Room Number for this TV, if desired.

1.Turn ON the TV.

2.Press MENU SETTINGS 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 Zones & Room Number, and then press OK.

4.In the Zone, Label, and Room Number pop-up window, complete the appropriate fields as described below. Use the Left/Right arrow keys on the Installer Remote to navigate between each of the fields

•TV Zone: Enables you to set a 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 either for Teaching (cloning) or FTG Mode via CPU configuration. If the TV is being configured for FTG Mode via CPU, the TV Zone # setting also allows the TV to omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map. To set a TV Zone, navigate to the TV Zone field, and use the Up/Down arrow keys to specify a TV Zone # (1–8).
