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. The Master TV Setup can used to configure either TVs that are to remain in Pass-through Mode or TVs that are to be configured for FTG Mode.

Note: Cloning requirements and procedures are described in detail on pages 34 to 37.

Note: You can use the FTG File Manager to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG Mode configuration, if desired (see pages 38 to 39). However, it is not possible to customize TV setup menu settings in the FTG File Manager. If you wish to include customized TV setup menu settings in the TV configuration, in addition to the channel lineup and Installer Menu settings, perform the Master TV Setup procedure to create the configuration file.

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.

All Learning and Teaching processes on these TV models are performed via USB memory device / TLX file. The TLX file format clones Installer Menu settings, IP Environment Menu settings (with the exception of network settings), and all TV sources’ (analog, digital, AV1, HDMI, etc.) clonable setup menu settings. See also “Clonable TV Setup Menu Features” list below.

If the TLX file contains an FTG Channel Map (created during Master TV Setup or in FTG File Manager), the Target TV(s) will be configured for FTG Mode after Teaching is performed, though as part of the Teaching process, you will have the option to select either logical or physical channel tuning. If you wish to retain the default Pass-through Mode for all Target TVs, the TLX file should not include an FTG Channel Map.
