Cloning Procedures (Cont.)
(Continued from previous page)
• If the Target TV is currently in Pass-through Mode and you intend to use the TV Zoning
feature—i.e., the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file you are importing contains an FTG Channel
Map and/or FTG profile(s) with TV Zone assignments—make sure to set the appropriate
TV Zone # in the TV when directed to do so in the procedure below. See Reference section,
“Using the TV Zoning Feature,” for further information.
• If you would like the Target TV(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode or Application Tuning Mode,
as applicable, after the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file is imported, ensure the “.tlx” file does not
contain an FTG Channel Map; otherwise, the import procedure will result in the Target TV(s)
being configured for FTG Mode via CPU.
• If a Clone (.tlx) file (exported Master TV Setup) contains an FTG Channel Map, the physical RF
channels in the FTG Channel Map have been assigned logical channel numbers (see “Exporting
a Clone File” above). When you import the Clone file with the FTG Channel Map on the Target
TV(s), you will have the option to select either logical or physical channel tuning. Even if you
select physical channel tuning, the (list of) physical RF channels in the FTG Channel Map will
remain in logical order.
• If an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file (created in the Cloud Configuration Tool) contains an FTG
Channel Map, each logical channel number in the FTG Channel Map has been assigned a
physical RF channel or an Aux input (the latter designated by 130-0 through 137-0—see also
Reference section, “TV Aux Input Configuration”).
Note:
When you import the FTG Configuration file on the Target TV(s), you will have the option
to select either logical or physical channel tuning. If you select physical channel tuning, the
physical RF channels and Aux inputs in the FTG Channel Map will remain in logical order.
• If the Target TV EBL is already in FTG Mode, you cannot use this procedure to make changes
to the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. You must use a direct PC-to-TV
connection as described in Reference section, “FTG Mode via EBL (Local Configuration),” or
an FMA head end device to reconfigure the EBL.
• If the preceding condition applies, but you wish to switch the TV to FTG Mode via CPU, see
Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s),” for further information before
proceeding.
• If the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file was edited/created in the Cloud Configuration Tool, it may
contain multiple zoned FTG Installer Menu profiles for different TV models. Make sure it includes
the appropriate Installer Menu profile(s) for the Target TV(s) before performing the procedure
below.
Caution: Do not unplug the TV power cord or remove the USB memory device while
importing is in progress, as doing so may cause the TV to malfunction or harm the
USB device, respectively.
Import Clone File Procedure
1. Turn ON the Target TV.
2. The next step depends on whether the First Use Wizard appears on the screen when you turn
ON the TV:
