Custom Master STB Setup (Cont.)

(Continued from previous page)

5.(PTC cloning only) Transfer the auto-tuned/edited channel lineup (if applicable) and setup menu settings to the PTC: 2-5-5 + MENU Mode

Note: This step is essential for successful cloning using a TLL file. Without this step, the PTC will not contain any channels or setup menu settings.

Note: The maximum number of channels (analog and digital) that can be transferred to the PTC is 141. An attempt to transfer more than 141 channels of any combination will result in a PTC Channel Map of exactly 141 channels; any extra channels will not be available in the PTC Channel Map.

a)After the STB channel lineup has been edited and channel label icons added, tune to the channel (source) for which you wish to transfer the setup menu settings.

b)Access the Installer Menu, and press 2-5-5+ MENU on the Installer Remote to initiate the transfer of the Master STB Setup to the PTC. The STB exits the Installer Menu and then tunes through the channels in the channel lineup during the transfer. When the transfer is complete, the STB tunes back to the channel that was tuned before the transfer began.

6.(PTC cloning only / Optional) Add Custom Channel and Aux Input Labels: 2-5-4 + MENU Mode

2-5-4 + MENU Mode enables you to add/edit channel icons and custom text labels in the PTC Channel Map once the Master STB Setup has been transferred as described in the previous step.

Access the Installer Menu, and press 2-5-4+ MENU on the Installer Remote. Add/edit custom text labels and/or change icons for the Channel-Time on-screen displays (see 2-5-4 + MENU procedural information on page 39). Note that broadcast digital channels often already have a broadcaster generated label. When you are finished, press MENU to exit 2-5-4 + MENU Mode.

7.Verify the STB/display panel setup.

Make sure the STB/display features are set per your requirements. Also, if cloning an auto-tuned/edited channel lineup, verify that the channel lineup, channel icons, and custom text labels (as applicable) are correct.

8.(Recommended) Lock the channel lineup.

Access the Installer Menu. Set item 028 CH. OVERIDE to 0 and press OK to lock the channel lineup and restrict access to the STB setup menus. This step prevents end users from accessing channel settings (i.e., the Channel Menu will be inaccessible/grayed out). Press OK again to save your changes and exit the Installer Menu.

The Master STB Setup is now ready to be saved to a USB memory device (TLX or TLL file) . See “Cloning Procedures” on pages 40 to 44.
