Reference: Using the TV’s Zoning Features
This section describes the TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features available with the LX770M model TVs.
These features are primarily intended for use when the TV is con
fi
gured for FTG Mode via CPU operation;
however, Wi-Fi Zoning, along with selected elements of TV Zoning (Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu
pro
fi
le Zone assignments), may also be used with TV cloning processes using a USB memory device / “.tlx”
fi
le. Refer to the appropriate section(s) below for further information on the Zoning features and how to set
the TV or Wi-Fi Zone # in a TV that is currently in Pass-through Mode.
TV Zoning Feature
The TV Zoning feature enables you to create localized con
fi
gurations for TVs in selected locations, or
“Zones,” within the installation environment, for example, a hotel lobby,
fi
tness center, restaurant, etc.
Using the TV Zoning Feature with FTG Mode via CPU Con
fi
guration
The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Con
fi
guration (.tlx)
fi
le that contains multiple Installer
Menu and TV Setup Menu pro
fi
les, each with its own Zone assignment. Up to nine unique Zones can be
designated for LX770M FTG Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu pro
fi
les. Zone restrictions can also be
placed on individual channels in the FTG Channel Map. Thus, for example, you may create an FTG Installer
Menu and/or TV Setup Menu pro
fi
le to speci
fi
cally con
fi
gure a TV in the hotel lobby and also restrict the
channels that are available to be tuned on that TV.
The TV Zone # must be set appropriately on each TV in order for the TVs to be con
fi
gured correctly. See
“Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV” on page 85, and set the TV Zone # in all the TVs in a
select area, so that the TVs are con
fi
gured with corresponding FTG Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu
settings and/or can omit channels that have been restricted in the FTG Channel Map. TV Zone 0 is the
default TV Zone #.
The following subsections brie
fl
y describe how to assign Zone designations in the FTG File Manager.
Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide
for further information.
FTG Installer Menu Profi le Zone Assignments
The FTG File Manager main screen enables you to change the Zone assignment (default = Zone 0) for each
Installer Menu pro
fi
le to be included in an FTG Con
fi
guration (.tlx)
fi
le. For example, you may wish to create
one LX770M Installer Menu pro
fi
le for the hotel lobby and another LX770M Installer Menu pro
fi
le for the
fi
tness center, both of which are different from the Installer Menu pro
fi
le used for standard guest rooms.
The TV Zoning feature enables you to save multiple LX770M FTG Installer Menu pro
fi
les, each with its own
Zone assignment, in one FTG Con
fi
guration
fi
le. If each TV in the aforementioned locations (Zones) has had
its TV Zone # set appropriately, as described in the procedure on page 85 or via the EZ-Manager Wizard,
the TV(s) will only be con
fi
gured by the Installer Menu pro
fi
le that matches its(their) Zone setting.
In the FTG File Manager main screen, you can also edit the Zone assignment for each Installer Menu pro
fi
le
and/or TV Setup Menu pro
fi
le already present in the FTG Con
fi
guration List and TV Setup Menu List windows.
Note:
See also the FTG File Manager main screen overview on page 59. In addition, note that TV Setup
Menu pro
fi
les cannot be created in the FTG File Manager; they must be saved (exported) from a TV.
FTG Channel Map Zone Restrictions
The FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG File Manager’s FTG Channel Map Con
fi
guration Utility enables
you to place Zone restrictions on individual channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for
certain locations. In the FTG Channel Map Editor, one or more Zone restrictions (1–8) may be placed on
each channel that is to be restricted. For example, if you wish to restrict a channel from Zones 2 and 4,
select both “Zone 2” and “Zone 4” in the Zone Restriction section of the FTG Channel Map Editor screen
when de
fi
ning or editing that channel.
