Installation Manual

206-4317 Draft A.2

Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature (Cont.)

Note: While a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, a TV can only ever be in (set for) one

Zone. See also the FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 45.

At the same time, keep in mind that the TV Zone designations are not mutually exclusive. That is, you may

opt to place Zone restrictions on selected channels in the FTG Channel Map, but at the same time, you can

choose to conﬁ gure all TVs at the site with the same Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu settings. For

example, an FTG Conﬁ guration (.tlx) ﬁ le being used to conﬁ gure the TVs at a site may contain multiple

Installer Menu and Setup Menu proﬁ les with different Zone assignments, as well as an FTG Channel Map

with Zone restrictions on several channels. Each TV that still has the default TV Zone 0 setting will only be

conﬁ gured by the Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu proﬁ le(s) with a Zone 0 designation. If, on the other

hand, the TV Zone # is set to 1, the TV will ﬁ rst look in the ﬁ le for the LV570H Installer Menu and/or Setup

Menu proﬁ le(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the LV570H Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu

proﬁ les has a Zone 1 designation, the TV will then look for the LV570H proﬁ le(s) with a Zone 0 designation.

For the FTG Channel Map conﬁ guration, 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, 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 Conﬁ guration

A location-speciﬁc conﬁguration / Clone (.tlx) ﬁle may be saved (exported) from a Master TV and then be

used to conﬁgure Target TVs. For example, if the TV Zone # in the Master TV is set to 3 before the Clone

ﬁle export is initiated, the Master TV’s Installer Menu and Setup Menu proﬁles will be saved with the TV

Zone 3 assignment. In order to conﬁgure the Target TVs with the Zone 3 Installer Menu and Setup Menu

proﬁles exported from the Master TV, you must set the TV Zone # accordingly in the Target TVs before

importing the Clone ﬁle. See “Set the TV Zone # in the TV” below. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on

pages 37 to 40 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 12 to 19)

or, if the TV is in Pass-through Mode, via the TV’s setup menus as described below. Note that the follow-

ing 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 ﬁ elds as described

below. Use the Left/Right arrow keys on the Installer Remote to navigate between each of the ﬁ elds.

• Zone: Enables you to set a TV Zone # so that the TV can be conﬁ gured with Installer Menu and/or

Setup Menu settings intended only for the assigned Zone. The Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu

settings may be provided in a Clone/Conﬁ guration (.tlx) ﬁ le. If the TV is being conﬁ gured 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 (see “FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions” on previous page).
