Reference: Detailed Instructions For Making A Master TV

IMPORTANT INSTALLER SETUP INFORMATION! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING...

To set up a master TV you will need to know how to enter the TV Installer menu and make changes to

the default values as required. If necessary, famil- iarize yourself with the TV Installer menu and how to make and save changes in the menu, before attempting to

clone the TV Master TV setup.

You will also need an LG Installer remote control similar to the one shown in the front of this manual. The installer remote must have a “Source” button or its equivalent. The remote shown in this manual has a “INPUT” button -- this button serves the purpose of a Source button.

Finally, the TV’s clonable features need to be set up. This is a critical step. If the Master TV display panel’s clonable features

like adding channel icons or channel labels, digital font options etc., are not correctly added, then the cloned TVs will all have problems.

As the cloning procedure is being performed, specific steps need to be done at the indicated times to achieve the desired result. Be sure to do each task as indicated. If a procedure or step is left out or not performed completely, cloning may not work. At each step, pay attention to assure the TV screen shows the proper message when cloning. If the message indicated does not appear, there is a problem with that step and cloning may not be successful. Cloning is only possible when the signal source is an Analog channel, not a digital channel.

The following describes the procedure for preparing a Master TV for cloning and the procedure for adding Channel Icons and/or Labels.

The value will change back to 0 after the TV’s internal controller has been restored to factory default con- dition. This step will ensure that the TV channel memory will be the active channel list.
