When the TV CPU is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the CPU controls and restricts the tuning
operation of the TV, and when the EBL is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the EBL controls and
restricts the tuning operation of the TV. In these models, FTG Mode via CPU also provides the option to
select either logical or physical tuning (see note below) during configuration. You must determine which
element of the TV will own the FTG Channel Map before you can begin configuration.
Note:
Logical channel mapping of physical RF channels eliminates dash tuning; for example, physical
19-3 can be mapped to logical channel 9. It also allows physical RF channels and Aux inputs to be listed
in any order, not only in physical numeric ascending order. Physical channel tuning requires that you
include the dash when direct entering RF channel numbers and Aux inputs (the latter designated by 130-0
through 137-0).
FTG Mode via CPU
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical or physical tuning of physical RF channels and
Aux inputs.
• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers
up to 999.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 600 channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF or IP.
• TV Zoning option for location-speci

LG’s FTG File Manager PC software enables you to
create an FTG Con

guration (.tlx)
fi
le, which may be used
to con
fi
gure the CPU for FTG Mode. You can also create a
Clone (.tlx)
fi
le from a Master TV Setup that may be used
to con
fi
gure the CPU for FTG Mode. In this mode, the
CPU is the owner of the FTG Channel Map and must be
con

Menu settings using one of the following processes:
• Local: Con

a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example:
PCS200S). Refer to the
Pro:Centric Server Admin

for further information.
FTG Mode via EBL
This mode provides the following features:
• Logical tuning of physical RF channels and Aux inputs.
• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers
up to 255.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 141 logical channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF.
