The ClonePRO™
If several TVs need to be programmed with the same menu settings, an optional clone box can be used to copy
all of the menu settings from one TV into other TVs to reduce installation time. Information can be both
downloaded to and uploaded from the clone box using the DSCI port on the TV’s back panel or using the IR
sensor. Clone boxes can be obtained from your RCA commercial distributor. To use the clone box now, go to page
22 for information. If you want to set other menu options before using the clone box go to the next pages of
this chapter. Note you can use the clone box at any time.

Understanding the Menus
This television displays two levels of menus: master and basic.
The master menus are accessible by pressing MENU on the master remote (CRK17TD1). The master Main
menus will always display eight choices.
The basic menus are accessible by pressing MENU on a basic remote (CRK17TC1 or other remote) or the front
panel. The choices available on the basic menus and control panels will vary depending on limits set by the
master user and the input selected. You can turn off the basic menu completely through the
Access & Power
Options
menu. For more information on the effects of master user choices on the basic menu and basic user
functionality, go to the next pages of this chapter.
Note: Options set in the master menu are stored in nonvolatile memory. If any options are changed in the basic menu, and
then the TV is turned off, the TV defaults to the master menu settings once it’s turned back on.
Using Master and Basic Menus
Menus and choice lists use the point and select rule to navigate, but control panels use a variety of methods
to adjust features on your TV. The following pages detail how to use these controls to customize the
functions of your TV.
The first menu is called the Main menu. Press MENU on the remote (master remote for master menu; basic or
universal remote for basic menu) or on the front panel (basic menu) to bring up the Main menu.
Menu choices take you to another menu or a control panel. There are two ways to select a menu item:
•
Point with the arrows and then select with MENU or OK.
•
Press a digit button on the remote. For example, in the master Main menu, press 3 to go straight to the
Channel menu.
