Cloning Procedures

Cloning typically refers to the process of capturing a Master TV Setup and transferring it to a Target TV. This section describes how to save (Learn) a Master TV Setup and transfer (Teach) it to a Target TV using a USB memory device / TLX file.

You can also create a TLX file using the FTG File Manager and then use the Teaching procedure to transfer the TLX file to Target TVs. Refer to “Creating an FTG Configuration File” on pages 38 to 39, as necessary.

Learning Configuration from a Master TV

This section describes how to Learn configuration from a Master TV.

Before You Begin

•If the TV is NOT already in FTG Mode, complete the Custom Master TV Setup procedure (see pages 31 to 33).

•Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.

•If you would like the Target TV(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode after Teaching, ensure the Master TV does not have an auto-tuned/edited channel lineup; otherwise, Teaching will result in the Target TV(s) being configured for FTG Mode.

•If you intend to use the TV Zoning feature, make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone # as described in Reference section, “Using the TV Zoning Feature,” BEFORE performing the Learning procedure.

•It is not possible to clone a Master TV’s clock. Either set a Target TV’s clock manually, or use the Auto Clock setting in the TV setup menus.

Caution: Do not unplug the TV power cord or remove/disconnect the USB memory device while Learning, as doing so may cause the TV to malfunction or harm the USB device, respectively.
