Cloning Procedures
(Continued on next page)
Cloning typically refers to the process of capturing a Master TV Setup and transferring it to a
Target TV. This section describes how to save (Learn) a Master TV Setup and transfer (Teach) it
to a Target TV using a USB memory device / TLX le.
You can also create a TLX le using the FTG File Manager and then use the Teaching procedure
to transfer the TLX le to Target TVs. Refer to “Creating an FTG Conguration File” on pages 59 to
60, as necessary.
Learning Configuration from a Master TV
This section describes how to Learn conguration from a Master TV.
Before You Begin
• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.
• If the TV is NOT already in FTG Mode via CPU, complete the Custom Master TV Setup procedure
(see pages 46 to 48).
• If you would like the Target TV(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode after Teaching, ensure the
Master TV does not have an auto-tuned/edited channel lineup; otherwise, Teaching the Learned
le will result in the Target TV(s) being congured for FTG Mode via CPU.
• If you intend to use the TV’s Zoning feature(s), make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone #
and/or Wi-Fi Zone # as described in Reference section, “Using the TV’s Zoning Features,” BEFORE
performing the Learning procedure. Also, for Wi-Fi Zoning in particular, the TV’s wireless network
connection settings should be congured in the IP Environment Menu before Learning is initiated.
• It is not possible to clone a Master TV’s clock. Either set a Target TV’s clock manually, or use the
Auto Clock setting in the TV setup menus.
• Since the Learn From TV (TLX) process retrieves the Channel Map/channel lineup from the
CPU, it is not possible to Learn an FTG Channel Map from a TV that is currently in FTG Mode via
EBL (Channel Map resides in EBL) or a channel lineup from a TV that was cloned using a clone
programmer (channel lineup resides in the PTC).
Caution: Do not unplug the TV power cord or remove the USB memory device while
Learning, as doing so may cause the TV to malfunction or harm the USB device,
respectively.
