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 Channel Map web page overview on page 49.
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 configure all TVs at the site with the same Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu settings. For
example, an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file being used to configure the TVs at a site may contain multiple
Installer Menu and Setup Menu profiles 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
configured by the Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu profile(s) with a Zone 0 designation. If, on the other
hand, the TV Zone # is set to 1, the TV will first look in the file for the LT570H Installer Menu and/or Setup
Menu profile(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the LT570H Installer Menu and/or Setup Menu profiles
has a Zone 1 designation, the TV will then look for the LT570H profile(s) with a Zone 0 designation. For
the FTG Channel Map configuration, 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 Configuration
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 39 to 44 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 20)
or, if the TV is in Pass-through Mode, via the TV’s setup menus as described below. Note that the following
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 fields as described
below. Use the Left/Right
arrow keys on the Installer Remote to navigate between each of the fields.
•
Zone: Enables you to set a TV Zone # so that the TV can be configured 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/Configuration (.tlx) file. If the TV is being configured 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).
