IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued from previous page)

26. Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

21. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, follow the precautions below.

27. When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure that none of the
electrical cabling bears any of the weight of the TV. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits or where it can come into contact with such power
lines or circuits as death or serious injury can occur.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A.
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

22. Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe gently with
a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not spray water or other
liquids directly on the TV as electric shock may occur. Do not
clean with chemicals such as alcohol, thinners or benzene.
23. Transporting Product
Make sure the TV is turned off and unplugged and that all
cables have been removed. It may take two or more people
to carry larger TVs. Do not press against or put stress on the
front panel of the TV.

28. Do not install this product on a wall if it could be exposed to
oil or oil mist. This may damage the product and cause it to
fall.
29. Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall into the
product, and do not drop objects onto the screen.
30. Do not touch the ventilation openings, as they may become
hot while the TV is operating. This does not affect the performance of the product or cause defects in the product.
31. Do not use high voltage electrical equipment near the TV
(e.g., a bug zapper). This may result in product malfunction.
32. Dot Defect
This panel is an advanced product that contains millions of
pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on the
screen while you are viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance and reliability
of the TV.
33. Generated Sound
“Cracking”: A cracking noise that occurs while the TV is
on or when it is turned off is generated by plastic thermal
contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is
common for products where thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level noise is
generated from a high-speed switching circuit, which supplies
a large amount of current to operate a product. It varies
depending on the product. This generated sound does not
affect the performance and reliability of the product.
34. If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker”
when it is turned on. This is normal; there is nothing wrong
with the TV. Some minute dot defects may be visible on the
screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However,
they have no adverse effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid
touching the screen or holding your finger(s) against it for
long periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary
distortion effects on the screen.
35. Displaying a still image for a prolonged period of time may
cause image burn-in. Avoid displaying a fixed image on the
TV screen for an extended length of time.

24. Ventilation
Install the TV where there is proper ventilation. Do not install
in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do not cover the TV
with cloth or other materials (e.g., plastic) while it is plugged
in. Do not install in excessively dusty places.
25. If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the TV or
hear strange sounds, unplug the power cord, and contact an
authorized service center.

Commercial Mode Overview

This document describes how to set up LX570M Pro:Centric ® TVs for Commercial Mode operation. LG
commercial TV functionality is based on “ownership” of the Channel Map; that is, the Channel Map resides
in the TV’s CPU, Protocol Translator Card (PTC), or the embedded b-LAN™ (EBL) module, or it resides
externally from the TV (i.e., in a device from the solution provider).
These TV models are capable of Free-To-Guest (FTG) Mode operation via the TV CPU. Alternatively, the
EBL module can be configured either for Pass-through Mode (default) or FTG Mode. When neither the CPU
nor EBL is in FTG Mode, these TV models also allow external control via the TV’s MPI port.

Setup Checklist
Note: This document provides information specific to Commercial Mode operation. Refer to the Owner’s
Manual for information on TV installation and hardware and cable connections.
Installation
__ Unpack TV and all accessories.
__ Install batteries in the Installer Remote.
__ Install TV on VESA mount or stand.
Note: It may be advisable to make all cable
connections before installing on VESA mount
or stand, as appropriate.

Cable Connections
__ Make all rear jack panel connections, as
appropriate.
Commercial Mode Setup
__ Complete appropriate procedures as described
in this document for Commercial Mode operation.

Hardware Connections
__ Install any additional hardware as
appropriate to your institution, LAN, etc.

Pass-through Mode
This mode allows you to configure individual TVs for Pro:Centric and/or FTG Mode via CPU operation
or create a Master TV Setup for cloning purposes. This mode also allows external control via the GAME
CONTROL/MPI port on the TV rear jack panel.
There are three methods for configuring individual TVs that are currently in Pass-through Mode: using
one of the two LG Setup Wizard options or using the Custom Master TV Setup procedure as described in
this document.
LG Setup Wizard Configuration
When the TV is in a factory default state, the LG Setup Wizard provides the following two configuration
options:
• The EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated or manual options for configuring Pro:Centric operation
and also provides the option to configure the TV using a USB memory device.
• The Express Script provides streamlined configuration of the TV for FTG Mode via CPU operation
(including pillow speaker setup) and also provides the option to configure the TV for Pro:Centric operation.
See “LG Setup Wizard” on pages 12 to 13 for further information.
Custom Master TV Setup
Unlike the guided process above, the Custom Master TV Setup procedure enables you to create a
customized Master TV Setup for cloning purposes for TVs that are to remain in Pass-through Mode. Use
the Installer Remote to configure Installer Menu items as required for TV operation and set up TV features
(Channel, Picture, Audio, etc.). See “Custom Master TV Setup” on pages 40 to 42 for detailed information.

206-4281

Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)

Installer Menu
To create a Master TV Setup, you will need to know how to
access the commercial controller (PTC) Installer Menu and
make changes to the default values as required. If necessary,
familiarize yourself with the Installer Menu and how to make
and save changes. Refer to pages 29 to 39 for information on
accessing the Installer Menu and for detailed descriptions of
the Installer Menu items.

TV Setup Menus
On-screen setup menus control the features of the TV. Use the
Installer Remote to access the TV setup menus, and set the TV
features to the desired configuration for the end user.
Cloning
Cloning refers to the process of using a Master TV Setup to
configure a Target TV. The Master TV’s clonable setup menu
features should be configured as part of the Master TV Setup.
If there are features in the Master TV’s setup—channel icons
or labels, digital font options, etc.—that are not set or that are
set incorrectly, those features also will not be set or will be set
incorrectly in the Target TVs. Refer to pages 43 to 46 for
detailed information on cloning requirements and procedures.

To control the TV using an external MPI control device, you must
use the TV’s GAME CONTROL/MPI port for communication
purposes. In these TVs, Installer Menu item 118 POWER
SAVINGS controls the power circuitry for both the embedded
b-LAN module and the GAME CONTROL/MPI port; therefore, to
ensure that the GAME CONTROL/MPI port circuitry is powered,
thus enabling MPI communication, Installer Menu item 118
POWER SAVINGS must be set appropriately. See Installer Menu
item descriptions as well as Reference section, “b-LAN Setup &
Overview,” for further information.
Note: These TV models are not equipped with MPI card slots.

FTG Mode
In this mode, an FTG Channel Map enables the decryption of each
Pro:Idiom ® encrypted channel. The FTG Channel Map also provides
logical channel mapping of physical RF channels (digital and analog)
and Aux inputs. The method for creating the FTG Channel Map is
ultimately determined by which element of the TV will “own” the FTG
Channel Map—the CPU or the EBL.
For these TV models, there are two FTG Modes—FTG Mode via CPU
and FTG Mode via EBL—which are separate and distinct FTG Modes
of operation, each with its own unique advantages and requirements,
as outlined on the following page.
206-4281

Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)

When the TV CPU is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the CPU controls and restricts the tuning
operation of the TV, and when the EBL is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the EBL controls and
restricts the tuning operation of the TV. In these models, FTG Mode via CPU also provides the option to
select either logical or physical tuning (see note below) during configuration. You must determine which
element of the TV will own the FTG Channel Map before you can begin configuration.
Note: Logical channel mapping of physical RF channels eliminates dash tuning; for example, physical
19-3 can be mapped to logical channel 9. It also allows physical RF channels and Aux inputs to be listed
in any order, not only in physical numeric ascending order. Physical channel tuning requires that you
include the dash when direct entering RF channel numbers and Aux inputs (the latter designated by 130-0
through 137-0).

FTG Mode via CPU

FTG Mode via EBL

This mode provides the following features:

• Logical or physical tuning of physical RF channels and
Aux inputs.

• Logical tuning of physical RF channels and Aux inputs.

• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers
up to 999.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 600 channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF.
• TV Zoning option for location-specific configuration.
LG’s FTG File Manager PC software enables you to
create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, which may be used
to configure the CPU for FTG Mode. You can also create a
Clone (.tlx) file from a Master TV Setup that may be used
to configure the CPU for FTG Mode. In this mode, the
CPU is the owner of the FTG Channel Map and must be
configured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer
Menu settings using one of the following processes:
• Local: Configure an individual LX570M TV via its USB
port using a USB memory device / “.tlx” file. The file
may be either a Clone file (see Cloning Procedures” on
pages 43 to 46) or an FTG Configuration file (see “FTG
File Manager Utilities Overview” on pages 47 to 52).
• Remote: Configure all LX570M TVs at the site using
a Pro:Centric server head end device (Example:
PCS200R). Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin
Client User Guide for further information.

• Mapping of RF channels with minor (program) numbers
up to 255.
• FTG Channel Map of up to 141 logical channels.
• Start Channel set for RF or Aux input delivered content.
• Pro:Centric data delivery over RF.
LG’s FTG Device Configuration Application PC software
is required to configure the EBL. In this mode, the EBL
is the owner of the FTG Channel Map and must be
configured with an FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer
Menu settings using one of the following processes:
• Local: Configure an individual LX570M TV’s EBL
via its TV-LINK CFG jack using a direct PC-to-TV
(EBL) connection and the FTG Device Configuration
Application. See Reference section, “FTG Mode via
EBL (Local Configuration),” for information on the
“Write” process for an FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings.
• Remote: Configure all LX570M TV EBLs at the site
using a Free-To-Guest Management Appliance (FMA)
head end device (Example: FMA-LG101). Refer to
the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration
Application User Guide and/or the Installation &
Configuration Guide for the FMA device for further
information.

206-4281

Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)

While the TV is in FTG Mode:
• Users can still access the Installer Menu using an LG Installer Remote; however, all Installer Menu items
will be read-only.
• FTG Mode via CPU configuration changes must be made using a “.tlx” file (typically edited in the FTG
File Manager), while FTG Mode via EBL configuration changes must be made using the FTG Device
Configuration Application. FTG Channel Map Configuration and FTG Installer Menu Configuration utilities
in both PC applications enable you to make changes, respectively, to the FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings as necessary. Based on the initial method used to configure the TV for FTG Mode
operation (via CPU or EBL), all subsequent changes must be transferred to either the TV CPU or the EBL
via a process that is in accordance or compatible with that method (see information on local configuration
in this document or refer to documentation for the head end device/server for information on remote
management).
• If it becomes necessary to restore the TV to Pass-through Mode, there are several options that will enable
you to do so. See Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s),” for further information.
Pages 47 to 52 provide overviews of the utilities that comprise the FTG File Manager. Refer to the FreeTo-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information on the FTG File Manager. Refer to the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User Guide for information on the FTG Device
Configuration Application.
Remote Management in FTG Mode
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode via CPU, remote management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG
Installer Menu settings is provided by a Pro:Centric server, via a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file loaded on
the Pro:Centric server Admin Client. Refer to the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further
information.
When the TV is configured for FTG Mode via EBL, the b-LAN module, which is internal to the TV, allows
hotel/institution head end equipment (for example, an FMA-LG101) with b-LAN technology to provide remote
management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. See Reference section, “b-LAN
Setup & Overview,” for further information.

Determining the TV Operating Mode
To determine the operating mode of the TV, press MENU on the Installer Remote. The menu displayed
depends on the operating mode. If the Function Menu (see example below) appears, the TV is in a mode
(FTG, PPV, etc.) that does not allow the end user to change the fundamental TV setup. If the TV setup
menus (see example on page 7) appear, the TV is in Pass-through Mode.

Pro:Centric Operation (Cont.)

Pro:Centric Setup
Administration and management options for the Pro:Centric server are described in detail in the
Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide. This document describes only those settings that must
be specified on the TVs to enable Pro:Centric remote management and/or the Pro:Centric application.
• Remote management (TV E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides remote
management facilities for downloading splash screen image and software/firmware updates as well as
facilities for downloading a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG Mode via CPU configuration.
• Pro:Centric application: The application, which operates in conjunction with FTG and PPV Modes,
comprises the Pro:Centric interactive menus/features described on the previous page. Pro:Centric
application settings are managed via the Pro:Centric server Admin Client.
The Pro:Centric server settings can be configured using one of the methods described below.
Note: If using a Pro:Centric pillow speaker, also set Installer Menu item 027 HOSPITAL MODE to the
required value.
TV in Factory Default State
When the TV is in a factory default state, LG’s Setup Wizard (see pages 12 to 13) provides automated
or manual options for configuring the Pro:Centric server settings. The EZ-Manager branch of the Setup
Wizard also provides a USB configuration option that enables you to configure a TV for FTG Mode via
CPU using a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file stored on a USB memory device. The “.tlx” file incorporates FTG
Installer Menu settings, including Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL, which
are used to set up the TV’s Pro:Centric feature.
TV in Pass-through Mode
If the TV is in Pass-through Mode, set Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL
to the appropriate values. See Installer Menu information on pages 29 to 39 for further details. Also, as
necessary, refer to “Custom Master TV Setup” on pages 40 to 42 and/or cloning information on pages 43
to 46.
Note: When the TV is in either Pass-through Mode or FTG Mode via CPU, you can also leave Installer
Menu item 119 DATA CHANNEL set to its default value (255) to enable the TV’s Data Channel Auto Search
feature to set the DATA CHANNEL value. See item 119 description on page 39 for additional information.
TV in FTG Mode
If the TV is in FTG Mode (via CPU or EBL), use the appropriate FTG application software to update Installer
Menu items #98 Pro:Centric and #119 Data Channel (along with their affiliated fields). Then, transfer the
FTG Installer Menu settings to the TV in accordance with the FTG Mode of configuration. Refer to the
FTG Mode overview on pages 7 to 9 for further information on FTG Mode operation and configuration.
Also—for FTG Mode via CPU only—see note above regarding the option to use the TV’s Data Channel
Auto Search feature to set the DATA CHANNEL value.

LG Setup Wizard

The LG Setup Wizard, comprising EZ-Manager Wizard and Express Script configuration options,
will appear on the screen each time the TV is turned ON, until one of its configuration methods has
been completed or the wizard is exited. Use the Installer Remote to make selections and complete
each step.
• The primary purpose of the EZ-Manager Wizard is to guide you through the process (automated
or manual) of configuring the essential Installer Menu items for Pro:Centric operation. However,
while intended primarily for Pro:Centric-related configuration, the EZ-Manager Wizard also offers
Zoning options. LX570M TVs support the TV Zoning feature, which enables location-specific
settings (see Reference section, “Using the TV Zoning Feature,” for further information). The EZManager Wizard enables you to set the TV Zone # in the TV as part of the configuration process.
• The EZ-Manager Wizard also enables you to access USB download options as part of the
configuration process, if desired, to perform USB configuration and/or update functions.
• The Express Script guides you through the process of configuring the TV for FTG Mode via
CPU operation. This includes setting up the pillow speaker, as required. The Express Script also
enables you to configure the Pro:Centric settings on the TV.
Caution: Do NOT unplug the TV power cord or remove the antenna cable during the
configuration process, as doing so will interrupt the current step and may corrupt the
configuration data.
Note: If you do not intend to complete the Express Script, but you wish to enable
pillow speaker functionality, you must set Installer Menu item 027 HOSPITAL MODE
appropriately. See the “Installer Menu” section of this document for further information.

Before You Begin
• If you plan to create a customized Master TV Setup using the procedure described on pages
31 to 35, be sure to exit the LG Setup Wizard in order to avoid setup conflicts or setting modes
that may cause the TV to malfunction or restrict the custom setup procedure. See also “Initiate
Configuration or Exit the LG Setup Wizard” below.
• If it has been completed or exited and therefore does not display, the Setup Wizard can be
reactivated; however, this requires that you restore the TV to a factory default condition. See
Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s),” for further information.

Initiate Configuration or Exit the LG Setup Wizard
The welcome screen provides a brief introduction to the LG Setup Wizard.
Note: Once you proceed with one of the configuration options, it is not possible to return to the
Setup Wizard Welcome screen; however, if you simply wish to exit the EZ-Manager Wizard or
Express Script (depending on your selection from the Setup Wizard Welcome screen), you can do
so using “exit” options available from the subsequent screen(s).

If desired, the TV Setup created from the Express Script may also be saved to a USB memory
device and used for cloning purposes (see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 43 to 46 for further
information).
Note: Aux inputs (if enabled) will appear between the highest analog and lowest digital channel
number in the FTG Channel Map when Channel Up/Down is used on the Installer Remote.
Note: If you did not run Auto Tuning and all Aux inputs are disabled, an FTG Channel Map will
NOT be created and the TV will not be configured for FTG Mode via CPU.
Note: If required, you can set up/modify channel banks at a later time using the FTG File Manager.
See “Channel Banks Overview” below for further information.

Channel Banks Overview
Channel Banks enable institution administrators to create tiered channel programming on patient
in-room TVs. Each channel bank may offer a custom channel lineup for a pre-determined fee.
The Express Script enables you to configure four channel banks (1, 2, 3, and 4) for the channel
lineup (see step 6). The top tier generally contains the most programming (premium, etc.), 2nd
tier = lesser programming, 3rd tier = basic programming, etc. It is also possible to create an
Inactive TV display with Channel Bank 4, so that an “Inactive TV Call Attendant” message appears
when the TV is turned ON. In this case, an administrator can then select another channel bank on
the patient’s in-room TV depending on the programming tier requested by the patient.
All channels found during Auto Tuning automatically are added to and active in all four channel
banks. See “Channel Attributes and Channel Bank Allocation” below for further information.
Channel Attributes and Channel Bank Allocation
Three attributes are available for each channel: Encrypted, OSD, and Blank Video. When the TV
creates an FTG Channel Map upon completion of the Express Script, the OSD attribute (displays
the channel number, label, and icon) is automatically assigned to all channels, and the Encrypted
attribute is assigned to each Pro:Idiom encrypted channel detected during the channel scan. The
Blank Video attribute is not assigned automatically to any channels; however, in step 6 of the
Express Script, you have the option to assign the Blank Video (i.e., “BLANK”) attribute to channels,
as required. When you assign the BLANK attribute to a channel (as opposed to the default
“NORMAL” setting), this means that the channel audio will be audible; however, its video will be
black (no picture). The NORMAL or BLANK attribute applies to the channel regardless of channel
bank allocation.
Once you have set a channel’s NORMAL/BLANK attribute, determine the channel bank allocation
for each of the four available channel banks: ADDED or DELETED. When DELETED, the channel
will not appear in the channel lineup of the currently selected channel bank.
Updating Channel Attributes and/or Channel Bank Allocation
If you would like to modify channel attributes and/or channel bank allocation and/or update the FTG
Channel Map in general, you can save (export) the FTG Channel Map to a USB memory device
(see “Exporting a Clone File” on pages 43 to 44) and then use the FTG Channel Map Editor in the
FTG File Manager to make the required changes. Refer to the “FTG Channel Map Editor” overview
on page 51 and also the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information.
FTG File Manager software is available at: www.lg.com/us/commercial/display-solutions/ftg.

Ez Download Utility

The Ez Download utility, available from the TV Manager / USB Download Menu, enables you to
select multiple files (one of each file type) at one time from the files loaded on a USB memory
device. You may use this utility to download any one or all of the following to a TV: a Clone or FTG
Configuration (.tlx) file, a TV CPU or PTC software update, a splash screen image.

Before You Begin
• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.
• Software update and splash screen image files must be stored in a folder named “LG_DTV” in
the root directory of the USB memory device. Clone/Configuration (.tlx) files should simply be
stored in the root directory of the USB device.
• If you have initiated the EZ-Manager Wizard, you can use the wizard’s “USB Configuration”
option to access the Ez Download utility, if desired (see “TV Configuration Options” and/or “USB
Configuration” on pages 14 and 18, respectively, as necessary).
• If the TV is currently in Pass-through Mode and you intend to use the TV Zoning feature for
location-specific configuration purposes, make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone # in the
TV when directed to do so in the procedure below.
• When creating files to be downloaded, avoid using special characters (?, &, @, etc.) in filenames.
• Refer to “Custom Master TV Setup” on pages 40 to 42 for information on creating a Clone (.tlx)
file, and/or refer to “Creating an FTG Configuration File” on pages 47 to 48 for information on
creating an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG Mode via CPU configuration.
• See Reference section, “Downloading a Splash Screen Image using a USB Memory Device,” for
splash screen image guidelines.
• See Reference section, “Updating TV/PTC Software using a USB Memory Device,” for further
information on software updates.
Caution: Do not unplug the TV power cord or remove the USB memory device
during a data download, as doing so may cause the TV to malfunction or harm the
USB device, respectively.

Accessing and Using the Ez Download Utility
1. If it is not ON already, turn ON the TV.
2. The next step depends on whether the LG Setup Wizard appears on the screen when you turn
ON the TV:
• If the wizard is displayed, you can access the Ez Download utility via the EZ-Manager Wizard,
as indicated above (see “Before You Begin”). However, to continue with this procedure and
access the Ez Download utility from the TV menus, exit the Setup Wizard. Then, continue with
step 3.
• If the wizard is not displayed, go directly to step 3.
3. If the TV is currently in Pass-through Mode, you would like to transfer (import) a “.tlx” file to
the TV via the Ez Download utility, and you intend to use the TV Zoning feature, assign the
appropriate TV Zone # in the TV at this time. See Reference section, “Using the TV Zoning
Feature,” for further information.

Using the Installer Menu
Refer to the table starting on the next page for an overview of the available Installer Menu items,
including their item numbers, functions, value ranges, and default values.
Installer Menu items not relevant to these TV models are not present in the Installer Menu; therefore,
some numbers are missing. For example, item 006 will not appear. In addition, items that are
dependent on other Installer Menu item settings will not be initially accessible. For example, item 046
STRT AUX SRCE will not display in the Installer Menu unless item 004 STRT CHANNEL is set to 0.
See Installer Menu detailed descriptions for further information.
Navigation within the Installer Menu
Use the Up/Down arrow keys on the Installer Remote to sequence through the available menu items,
or access an item directly by keying in the item number and then pressing MENU. For example, to
access the SLEEP TIMER option, which is item 015, press 0-1-5 + MENU.
Changing Installer Menu Settings
To change an Installer Menu item value, use the Left/Right arrow keys on the Installer Remote, or
enter a valid value directly. To save the new setting, press OK, or use the Up/Down arrow keys to
navigate to a new Installer Menu item if you have additional items to edit. Note that invalid values will
not be saved.

Exiting the Installer Menu and Activating Settings
After you have adjusted all required Installer Menu item settings, press OK once on the Installer
Remote to save your changes; then, press OK again to exit the Installer Menu. Any changes you
make will be stored in non-volatile memory.
Note: Each time you exit the Installer Menu in Pass-through Mode, all V-Chip (Parental Control)
settings in the TV are reset to their default values; that is, the Lock System, if previously enabled
from the Lock setup menu, will now be disabled, and the individual Parental Control settings will be
restored to default values.
Caution: Installer Menu settings may affect options available
from the TV setup menus or the Function Menu.

Detailed Descriptions of Installer Menu Items
000 - INSTALLER SEQUENCE
Specifies entry sequence to the Installer Menu.
0 = 9876
1 = 4321
2 = 1478
3 = 3698
001 - POWER MANAGE (Power Management)
Energy saving feature. Determines the number of hours, in the
range 1 to 7, of inactivity allowed, either at the TV control panel
or from the remote, before the TV automatically turns itself OFF. If
set to 0, Power Management is disabled.

When this item is set to 2 or 3, the TV also will reboot and initiate
an update event once every 24 hours. During the update event,
the TV, as applicable, performs a Data Channel Auto Search (item
119 set to 255) and/or checks for and downloads any available
updates from the Pro:Centric server (item 119 set from 1 to 135
or 253). The time at which this event occurs depends on the
setting of item 121 UPDATE TIME HR. See item 119 and 121
descriptions for further information. Once the update cycle is
complete, the TV completes the reboot and resumes its Muted ON
state.

002 - AC ON (AC Power Switchable)
If set to 1, this allows the TV to turn ON when AC power is
applied. Pressing the POWER button is not necessary. This is
desirable if the TV is plugged into a switched AC outlet (i.e., a
set-top box). Set to 2 or 3 to enable the Instant ON feature (see
additional information below). Set to 0 (default) for standard TV
turn ON/OFF operation.

003 - BAND/AFC (Band/Automatic Frequency Control)
There are four possible settings for this option:
0 = Broadcast
1 = CATV (default)
2 = HRC
3 = IRC

The Instant ON feature allows the TV to turn ON when AC power
is applied, but with video and audio muted (Muted ON). The TV
retains its ON status while appearing to be OFF. Pressing the
POWER button toggles Off/On the video and audio mutes, so that
the TV appears to turn ON instantly.

• If this item is set to 2, the TV will reboot and, if applicable (i.e.,

item 119 DATA CHANNEL set from 1 to 135 or 253), check for
and download any available updates from the Pro:Centric server
at every turn OFF. This setting is not recommended if the TV will
be configured with a resident application.

• If this item is set to 3, the TV will not reboot to check for and

download updates at turn OFF, with the following exception:
the first time the TV is turned OFF after this item is set to 3, the
TV will reboot and initiate an update event (Data Channel Auto
Search and/or check for and download of updates—see also
paragraph below). This setting is recommended if the TV will be
configured with a resident application. In this mode, the standard
check for and download of updates is under application control.
Refer to your site-specific documentation for further information
on configuring the TV with a resident application.

206-4281

Note: If set to 1, the TV does not respond to ON/OFF commands
from either the remote or the display panel, and the SLEEP TIMER
is also nonfunctional.

If some channels were not found by Auto Tuning (Channel
Search), select the appropriate Band setting here, and add the
channels using the Channel Edit option in the Channel Menu.
004 - STRT CHANNEL (Start Channel)
If active, this function allows you to determine the initial Major
Start Channel number when the TV is turned ON. This feature is
useful for an in-house information channel, since the TV would
always select that channel when it is turned ON. If set to 255,
the last channel tuned before the TV was turned OFF will be the
channel tuned when the TV is turned ON again.
0 = Aux
127 = Map to Major CH 4
1 – 125 = Major CH #
255 = Last Channel
126 = Map to Major CH 3
Note: For a digital Start Channel, always remember to set item
104 to the Minor Start Channel number.
Note: 126 and 127 are mapped only in SONIFI PPV Mode.

Installer Menu (Cont.)

005 - CHAN LOCK (Channel Lock)
Channel Lock is ideal if the system must always be on the same
channel. Changing channels with the Channel Up/Down or keypad
numbers is impossible. Channel Lock is inactive if set to 0 (default).
Generally, this feature is used in connection with item 004 STRT
CHANNEL where the Start Channel may, for example, be set to
3 or 4. If the Start Channel is 3, then the TV will remain locked on
channel 3.
NOTE: For items 007, 008, and 009
For legacy reasons, the scale used is 0 – 63. The PTC software
will translate this to the 0 – 100 scale used by the TV.
To translate a TV volume level to the Installer Menu value, use
the following formula:
Installer Value = TV Value x 63

100
Enter only the whole number (disregard fractions).
007 - STRT VOLUME (Start Volume)
This function allows the Installer to determine the initial volume
level setting when the TV is turned ON. This feature is useful for
an in-house information channel, since the TV will always select
that volume level when it is turned ON. The range of values is 0
to 63, 255. If set to 255, the last volume level before the TV was
turned OFF will be the current volume level when the TV is turned
ON again.
008 - MIN VOLUME (Minimum Volume)
This function determines the minimum volume level allowable
with the Volume (VOL) Up/Down control. In this way, for example,
someone cannot set the volume too low to hear. The value range
is from 0 to 63. The factory default is 0, which provides the full
range of volume control, if item 009 MAX VOLUME is set to 63. It
is recommended to set the same value on every TV.
Note: The minimum volume level cannot have a value setting
higher than the maximum volume level (described below).
009 - MAX VOLUME (Maximum Volume)
This function determines the maximum volume level allowable with
the Volume (VOL) Up/Down control. In this way, for example, someone cannot set the volume level high enough to disturb others. The
value range is 0 to 63, with 63 as the default, which gives the user
the full range of volume control, if item 008 MIN VOLUME is set to
0. It is recommended to set the same value on every TV.
Note: The maximum volume level cannot have a value setting
lower than the minimum volume level (described above).
010 - MUTE DISABLE
Enables or disables sound mute function. If set to 1, sound cannot
be muted. If set to 0, sound can be muted.

011 - KEY DEFEAT
If set to 1, Key Defeat is enabled, which means that end users
cannot access or navigate within the on-screen menu(s) from the
display panel; i.e., joystick button menu navigation functions will
not be available. Set to 0 to disable Key Defeat. Note that all IR
features remain functional regardless of this setting; users can
always access the TV menus by pressing MENU on the remote.
012 - IR BANKS EN. (IR Banks Enable)
When enabled, you can direct access a particular channel bank
by inputting the discrete IR code for that bank.
Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu when item
027 HOSPITAL MODE is set to 0.
013 - SCAN MODE
When set to 1 (default), allows TV to be turned ON when Channel
Up/Down buttons are pressed on pillow speaker. Also, TV will turn
OFF when Channel Up/Down key is used to tune above or below
Channel Map pivot point. By default, Channel Map pivot point is
between the highest and lowest channel in the Channel Map (also
see item 014 STRT CH IN SM). Set to 0 to disable.
Note: This item is only applicable when the TV is in PTC-CTV
Mode or FTG Mode via CPU.
014 - STRT CH IN SM (Start Channel in Scan Mode)
Only valid when item 013 SCAN MODE is set to 1 (enabled).
When set to 1, forces Channel Map pivot point to be between the
RF channel designated in item 004 STRT CHANNEL and next
lower channel in the Channel Map. Set to 0 to disable (default).
Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu when item
013 SCAN MODE is set to 0.
015 - SLEEP TIMER
If set to 1, the Sleep Timer feature may be used. If set to 0, the
Sleep Timer is not available.
016 - EN. TIMER (Enable On/Off Timers)
If set to 1, the Timer function is available to the end user and
enabled continuously. Set to 0 to disable On/Off timers.
Note: The TV clock must be set in order for timers to be used.
017 - ALARM
Gives the installer the option of making the Alarm function available
to the end user. If set to 1, the Alarm function is available to the end
user. Set to 0 to disable the Alarm function.
Note: The TV clock must be set before the Alarm function will work.
020 - FEATURE LEVEL
Determines an additional IR code scheme to which the TV will
respond, allowing for the use of unique IR codes based on “bed
number” in a multi-TV single room installation. First determine the
IR mode; then select the bed number.

206-4281

Installer Menu (Cont.)

119 - DATA CHANNEL
Set to 0 to disable. Set from 1 to 135 to match the RF channel
number that will be used by the Pro:Centric server as its data
channel. *
For TVs in Pass-through Mode or FTG Mode via CPU, if this item
is left at its default value (255), the TV’s Data Channel Auto Search
feature will be enabled (see additional information below).
Note: The Data Channel Auto Search feature is not available
when the TV’s EBL is in FTG Mode. If the DATA CHANNEL value
is 255 when the TV is configured for FTG Mode via EBL, DATA
CHANNEL is defaulted to 0.
Data Channel Auto Search feature: When this item is set to 255
(default), once every 24 hours, the TV will initiate a search of 10
predefined channels (10, 20, 30, ... 100) and then, if necessary,
perform a complete search of the RF channels (1 to 135) in an
attempt to find the RF channel used by the Pro:Centric server as
its data channel. If the Pro:Centric RF channel is found, the DATA
CHANNEL value will be changed from 255 to match the server’s
RF channel number. The time at which the Auto Search occurs
depends on the setting of item 121 P:C RF WAKE HR. See item
121 description for further information.
Note: Pro:Centric updates are downloaded from the Pro:Centric
server to the TV when the TV is turned OFF. While E-Z Installation
updates are in progress, it is not possible to turn ON the TV.

If this item is set to 128 (OFF), the time at which a Data Channel
Auto Search (item 119 set to 255) and/or an Instant ON update
(item 002 set to 2 or 3) occurs is determined as follows: The TV
initiates the search and/or checks for updates at 2:00 AM (if the
TV clock is set) or after two hours of elapsed time from when AC
power was applied (if the TV clock is not set). If the TV display
is ON when a Wake For Update event is to occur, the update will
take place the next time the TV is turned OFF.
Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu when item
119 DATA CHANNEL is set to 0, except when item 002 AC ON is
set to 2 or 3 for Instant ON.
Note: The TV clock must be set in order for a Wake For Update
event to occur at the precise time of day in accordance with item
121 and item 122 settings.
122 - UPDATE TIME MN
Set the Wake For Update minute from 0 to 59. See also description
for item 121 UPDATE TIME HR above.
Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu unless item
121 UPDATE TIME HR is set from 0 to 23.
Note: The TV clock must be set in order for a Wake For Update
event to occur at the precise time of day in accordance with item
121 and item 122 settings.

121 - UPDATE TIME HR
Based on the settings of this item and item 122 UPDATE TIME MN,
the Wake For Update feature wakes the TV once daily to check for
and, if applicable, download updates from the Pro:Centric server.
Set the Wake For Update hour from 0 to 23. This item uses the
24-hour clock format. The value “128” (default) is displayed as
“OFF.” Directly entering 128 resets the default value (OFF) for this
item, though note that this setting does not mean the TV will not
initiate update events—see additional information below.
Under standard TV OFF/ON operating conditions (i.e., item 002 AC
ON is set to 0), a Wake For Update event occurs when the TV is
OFF and causes the TV’s CPU to temporarily turn ON, perform the
update cycle, and then turn back OFF, all while the TV appears to
be OFF. If item 002 AC ON is set to 2 or 3 for Instant ON, then the
TV’s CPU is always ON and Wake For Update occurs when the TV
is in its Muted ON state (i.e., the TV only appears to be OFF). The
Wake For Update event causes the TV’s CPU to reboot in order
to perform the update cycle and then return to its Muted ON state.
See also description for item 002.

* PCS150R and later Pro:Centric servers do not support HRC or IRC cable channel frequencies.

Custom Master TV Setup

This section describes how to create a customized Master TV Setup for cloning purposes when
the TV is in Pass-through Mode. All cloning (export and import) processes on the TV are performed
via USB memory device / “.tlx” file. The Master TV Setup may be exported to a Clone (.tlx) file,
which can then used (i.e., imported) to configure either TVs that are to remain in Pass-through
Mode or TVs that are to be configured for FTG Mode via CPU.
Cloning requirements and procedures are described in detail on pages 43 to 46.
Note: You can also use the FTG File Manager to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file for
FTG Mode via CPU configuration/cloning purposes, if desired (see pages 47 to 48). However,
it is not possible to customize TV setup menu settings in the FTG File Manager. If you wish to
include customized TV setup menu settings in the TV configuration, in addition to the channel
lineup and Installer Menu settings, perform the Master TV Setup procedure to create a Clone (.tlx)
configuration file.

Before You Begin
• It is recommended that you disconnect all Aux inputs if you intend to run Auto Tuning (Channel
Search). Under certain conditions, Auto Tuning is disabled if there is an Aux input active.
• A Clone (.tlx) file comprises Installer Menu settings and all TV sources’ (analog, digital, AV,
HDMI, etc.) clonable setup menu settings. See also “Clonable TV Setup Menu Features” list
below.
• If the “.tlx” file (either a Clone or FTG Configuration file) to be imported on the Target TV(s)
contains an FTG Channel Map, the Target TV(s) will be configured for FTG Mode via CPU,
though as part of the import process, you will have the option to select either logical or physical
channel tuning. If you would like the Target TV(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode, the “.tlx” file
should not include an FTG Channel Map.

Reference section, “Using the TV Zoning Feature.”
Note: If desired and if appropriate, you can run Auto Tuning (see
step 4) prior to completing this step.
4. (Optional) Run Auto Tuning.
If you are creating a Master TV Setup for cloning purposes and you
want the Target TV(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode, do NOT run
Auto Tuning. If you export a Master TV Setup that includes an autotuned/edited channel lineup, thereby creating a Clone (.tlx) file with
an FTG Channel Map, and then import the Clone file to a Target TV,
this will put the Target TV in FTG Mode via CPU.
Note: When you import a Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file that contains
an FTG Channel Map on a Target TV (for FTG Mode via CPU
configuration), you will have the option to select either logical or
physical channel tuning. For either selection, the channel sequence
will be based on the order in which the channels appear in the FTG
Channel Map. You can view and/or edit the channel sequence in

Cloning Procedures

Cloning typically refers to the process of using a Master TV Setup to configure a
Target TV. This section describes how to save (export) a Master TV Setup and then
transfer (import) it to a Target TV using a USB memory device / Clone (.tlx) file.
You can also create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file using the FTG File Manager and
then use the Import Clone File procedure to transfer the configuration to Target TVs.
Refer to “Creating an FTG Configuration File” on pages 47 to 48, as necessary.

Exporting a Clone File
This section describes how to export Master TV Setup (including Express
Script TV Setup) configuration to a USB memory device / Clone (.tlx) file.
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 40 to 42).
• If you would like the Target TV(s) to remain in Pass-through Mode after the
Clone file is imported, ensure the Master TV does not have an auto-tuned/
edited channel lineup; otherwise, importing the exported file will result in the
Target TV(s) being configured for FTG Mode via CPU.
• If you intend to use the TV Zoning feature, make sure to assign the
appropriate TV Zone # as described in Reference section, “Using the TV
Zoning Feature,” BEFORE performing the procedure below.

physical RF channels of the TV channel lineup to create an FTG Channel Map. See also
note below.
Note: If the exported Clone file is to be used for FTG Mode via CPU configuration (i.e.,
it contains an FTG Channel Map), it is highly recommended that you open the file in
the FTG File Manager—BEFORE transferring (importing) the file to any Target TVs—to
verify FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. This will also enable you to
confirm channels and add channel attributes, labels, etc.

Importing a Clone File
This section describes how to transfer (import) a Clone or FTG Configuration (.tlx) file from a USB
memory device to a TV using the TV Manager / USB Download Menu “Import Clone File” option.
The “.tlx” file may be created either from a Master TV Setup that was saved (exported) from a
Master TV or in the FTG File Manager.
Before You Begin
• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.
• Avoid using special characters, such as ?, &, @, etc., in the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) filename.
• If you have initiated the EZ-Manager Wizard, you can use the wizard’s “USB Configuration” option
to access the TV Manager / USB Download Menu and complete the import procedure, if desired
(see “TV Configuration Options” and/or “USB Configuration” on pages 14 and 18, respectively, as
necessary).
• You may also use the Ez Download utility to import the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file. See “Ez
Download Utility” on pages 26 to 28 for further information.
• 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 assign 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 after the Clone/Configuration
(.tlx) file is imported, ensure the “.tlx” file does not contain an FTG Channel Map; otherwise, the
import will result in the Target TV(s) being configured for FTG Mode via CPU.

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 FTG File Manager) 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 FTG File Manager, 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 LG Setup Wizard appears on the screen when you turn
ON the TV:
• If the wizard is displayed, you can complete the import procedure via the EZ-Manager Wizard,
as indicated above (see “Before You Begin”). However, to continue with this procedure and
access the “Import Clone File” option from the TV menus, exit the Setup Wizard. Then,
continue with step 3.
• If the wizard is not displayed, go directly to step 3.
3. If applicable (see also “Before You Begin” above), make sure to assign the appropriate Zone
designation in the Target TV at this time.
Note: In order for the proper location-specific TV Zone profile data to be applied,
the Zone designation must be assigned in the Target TV(s) BEFORE importing is
initiated.
4. Insert the USB memory device with the Clone/Configuration (.tlx) file into the USB port on the
Target TV.

Note: If the Target TV was previously in Pass-through Mode and the Clone/Configuration
(.tlx) file that was imported contained an FTG Channel Map, the Target TV CPU is now
in FTG Mode. Upon restart, the TV tunes according to the Start Channel setting in the
Installer Menu. If a Start Channel is specified, the TV will tune to that channel, though, in
the case of FTG Mode via CPU configuration, a channel banner will only be displayed if the
Start Channel is included in the FTG Channel Map (depending on your selection in step 9,
the channel banner will display either the Start Channel’s logical channel number or
physical RF channel number). Otherwise, the TV will either return to the last channel
tuned (TV in Pass-through Mode) or tune to the first channel in the FTG Channel Map (TV
in FTG Mode via CPU). If the latter, remember that the channels in the FTG Channel Map
are always arranged in logical order, regardless of your selection in step 9.

FTG File Manager Utilities Overview

As indicated in the introduction to this document, there are two separate and distinct methods for
configuring LX570M TVs for FTG Mode of operation: one method is to configure the TV CPU for FTG
Mode operation, while the other is to configure the TV EBL for FTG Mode operation. FROM A LOCAL
CONFIGURATION STANDPOINT, EACH OF THESE METHODS IS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. IF THE
CPU IS IN FTG MODE, THE EBL CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE. LIKEWISE, IF THE EBL IS
IN FTG MODE, THE CPU CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO FTG MODE.
This section provides an overview of the FTG File Manager, which is used for FTG Mode via CPU
configuration. The software is available online at: www.lg.com/us/commercial/display-solutions/ftg.

Creating an FTG Configuration File
The procedure below describes how to use the FTG File Manager utilities (see sample screens on pages
49 to 52) to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that can be saved to a USB memory device. In order
to enable decryption of Pro:Idiom encrypted channels, it is recommended that you create or view/edit an
FTG Configuration file using the FTG File Manager.
Note: There is also an option to save (export) FTG Configuration from a TV, which may be desirable or
required if you want to save customized TV setup menu settings to the FTG Configuration file and/or if
you do not know the RF channels at the site. See “Exporting a Clone File” on pages 43 to 44 for further
information.
This procedure provides an overview of the steps required to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.
Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information.
1. Install (if necessary) and launch the FTG File Manager (v1.3.2 or later) on the PC that will be used to
create the FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.
2. You have a number of options:
• To view and/or base a new FTG Configuration file on an existing FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, click
the Open button in the TLX File command section of the FTG File Manager main screen, and select/
double-click on the desired “.tlx” file.
A list of the file’s contents will be displayed in the TLX File Contents window. Either double-click on an
individual item to copy it, or click the Copy All button directly above the TLX File Contents window to
automatically copy all the contents of the opened file to the FTG Configuration List and, if applicable,
TV Setup Menu List. Note, though, that while TV setup menu settings can be included in the new FTG
Configuration file, the TV setup menu settings are not available for editing.
Edit the configuration of the items in the FTG Configuration List as well as the FTG Configuration
List itself and/or the TV Setup Menu List, as necessary, to create a new file. Then, proceed to step 3
when you are ready to continue.
• To open an existing FTG Configuration (.rml) file created in the FTG Device Configuration
Application to use its FTG Channel Map and/or FTG Installer Menu settings, click File and then Open
from the FTG File Manager menu bar, and select/double-click on the desired “.rml” file.
Edit channels and/or settings as necessary. Then, proceed to step 3 when you are ready to continue.
• Create a new FTG Channel Map using the FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG Channel Map
Configuration Utility. Up to 600 channels can be defined in the FTG Channel Map.
When you are ready to continue, click Configure and then FTG File Manager from the FTG File
Manager menu bar to return to the FTG File Manager main screen, and then proceed to step 3.

Reference: b-LAN Setup & Overview

The b-LAN module is internal to the TV. It allows hotel/institution head end equipment with b-LAN technology
to communicate, via the institution’s RF distribution system, with the TV for configuration and control.
Installer Menu item 118 POWER SAVINGS controls the power circuitry for both the embedded b-LAN module
and the GAME CONTROL/MPI port. The default value is 3—the b-LAN module is only powered when the TV
is turned ON. See chart below.

POWER
SAVINGS

A b-LAN enabled head end device, such as an LG FMA-LG101, broadcasts over the RF distribution system
to communicate to multiple TVs. When the TV is first installed, it must be turned ON in order for its embedded
b-LAN module to receive communication from the head end device. At this point, if it is desired for the b-LAN
module to always be powered, including while the TV is turned OFF, set Installer Menu item 118 POWER
SAVINGS to 1.
Also, if MPI communication is required for external MPI control, set Installer Menu item 118 POWER SAVINGS
to 1 so that the GAME CONTROL/MPI port circuitry is always powered.
Caution: POWER SAVINGS should NEVER be set to 7. This setting is intended for factory use
only.

Reference: Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s)

This section describes how to restore all factory defaults or just the Installer Menu factory defaults either on a
single TV that is currently in Pass-through or FTG Mode or on multiple TVs that are currently in FTG Mode.

Restore All Factory Defaults
This section describes how to restore a single TV, regardless of its mode, to a factory default condition.
The following procedure requires that you contact LG technical support to obtain a predefined value/
password for Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT that enables access to initiate a factory “IN-STOP”
process, which restores all factory defaults. This procedure will also reactivate the EZ-Manager Wizard.
1. Use the Installer Remote to access the TV’s Installer Menu.
2. Navigate to Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT, and key in the value provided by technical support.
Then, press OK.
3. At the prompt for confirmation, key in the password provided by technical support. This will initiate the
IN-STOP that restores the factory defaults on the TV.

Installer Menu Item 117 FACT DEFAULT
If the TV is currently in Pass-through Mode, you can set Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT to 1 to
restore the Installer Menu factory defaults and clear the PTC Channel Map, including any assigned channel
icons and custom text labels. Note, however, that if a complete restoration of the TV’s factory defaults is
required, see “Restore All Factory Defaults” above.

Additional FTG Mode via CPU Options
There are two additional options for restoring Pass-through Mode/Installer Menu factory defaults on TVs that
are in FTG Mode via the CPU. The first enables you to restore a single TV to Pass-through Mode, while the
second enables you to restore multiple TVs to Pass-through Mode at one time. However, both options require
that you create a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Configuration (.tlx) file, i.e., an FTG Configuration file with no
data. Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information.
• Using a USB memory device, import a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Configuration (.tlx) file to the TV. Refer
to “Importing a Clone File” on pages 44 to 46 for further information on the import procedure.
• If your system uses a Pro:Centric server for remote management, use the Pro:Centric server Admin
Client to load a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Configuration (.tlx) file on the Pro:Centric server. Refer to
the Pro:Centric Server Admin Client User Guide for further information.

Additional FTG Mode via EBL Options
There are two additional options for restoring Pass-through Mode/factory defaults on TVs that are in FTG
Mode via the EBL. The first enables you to restore a single TV to Pass-through Mode, while the second
enables you to restore multiple TVs to Pass-through Mode at one time.
Note: While the IN-STOP process described above will clear both the PTC and the CPU, both
options below only clear the PTC. Thus, the current Channel Map and TV setup menu settings
will remain in the CPU after the reset is completed.
• Using a direct PC-to-TV connection, “Write” an unpopulated Channel Map—that is, a Channel Map with 0
(zero) channels—to the TV. See Reference section, “FTG Mode via EBL (Local Configuration),” and/or the
Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User Guide for further information.
• If your system uses an FMA for remote management/broadcast configuration, configure the FMA device
with an FMA Configuration (.fma) file that only contains a “0 Mapped Channels” FTG Channel Map to
broadcast to the TV EBL(s). Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) Device Configuration Application User
Guide and/or the Installation & Configuration Guide for the FMA device for further information.

Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature

This section describes the TV Zoning feature available with the LX570M model TVs. The TV Zoning
feature enables you to create localized configurations for TVs in selected locations, or “Zones,” within the
installation environment, for example, a hotel lobby, fitness center, restaurant, etc. This feature is primarily
intended for use when the TV is configured for FTG Mode via CPU operation. However, selected elements
of TV Zoning (Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu profile Zone assignments) may also be used with TV
cloning processes using a USB memory device / “.tlx” file.
Refer to the appropriate section(s) below for further information on the TV Zoning feature and how to set the
TV Zone # in a TV that is currently in Pass-through Mode.

Using the TV Zoning Feature with FTG Mode via CPU Configuration
The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file that contains multiple Installer
Menu and TV Setup Menu profiles, each with its own Zone assignment. Up to nine unique Zones can be
designated for LX570M FTG Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu profiles. 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 profile to specifically configure 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 configured correctly. See
“Set the TV Zone # in the TV” on the following page, and set the TV Zone # in all the TVs in a select area,
so that the TVs are configured 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 briefly 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 Profile Zone Assignments
The FTG File Manager main screen enables you to change the Zone assignment (default = Zone 0) for
each Installer Menu profile to be included in an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. For example, you may wish to
create one LX570M Installer Menu profile for the hotel lobby and another LX570M Installer Menu profile
for the fitness center, both of which are different from the FTG Installer Menu profile used for standard
guest rooms. The TV Zoning feature enables you to save multiple LX570M FTG Installer Menu profiles,
each with its own Zone assignment, in one FTG Configuration (.tlx) file. If each TV in the aforementioned
locations (Zones) has had its TV Zone # set appropriately, as described in the procedure on the following
page or via the EZ-Manager Wizard, the TV(s) will only be configured by the Installer Menu profile that
matches its(their) Zone setting.
In the FTG File Manager main screen, you can also edit the Zone assignment for each Installer Menu
profile and/or TV Setup Menu profile already present in the FTG Configuration List and TV Setup Menu
List windows.
Note: See also the FTG File Manager main screen overview on page 49. In addition, note that TV Setup
Menu profiles 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 Configuration Utility enables
you to place Zone restrictions on individual channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for
selected 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 defining or editing that channel.
206-4281

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 FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 51.
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 TV 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 TV 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 TV 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 LX570M Installer Menu and/or
TV Setup Menu profile(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the LX570M Installer Menu and/or TV Setup
Menu profiles has a Zone 1 designation, the TV will then look for the LX570M 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 TV 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 TV 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 43 to 46 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 14 to 19) 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 on the Installer Remote, and use the arrow navigation keys to select/highlight the
OPTION menu icon. Then, press OK.
3. Use the Up/Down arrow keys 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 TV
Setup Menu settings intended only for the assigned Zone. The Installer Menu and/or TV 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).

Patient Remote and Pillow Speaker Functionality
Both the LG Pro:Centric patient remote and the LG Pro:Centric pillow
speaker provide access to Pro:Centric application features (via PORTAL,
INFO, and GUIDE buttons). See also “Installer Remote Control Typical
Key Functions” on the previous page for further information on button
functions. The patient remote also provides multi-code capability as
described below.

Set the Patient Remote IR Code Scheme
(Multi-code Feature)
This section describes how to set the LG Pro:Centric patient remote to
send unique IR codes based on “bed number” in a multi-TV single room
installation. The remote may be set from Bed 1 to Bed 4.
Note: The TV will always respond to the standard LG Installer Remote
IR code scheme, i.e., you can always use an Installer Remote with the
TV, regardless of its multi-code IR setting.

GUIDE

The following procedure describes how to set the bed number in the
TV’s Installer Menu and in the patient remote.
1. Installer Menu item 020 FEATURE LEVEL determines the additional
IR code scheme to which the TV will respond. Access the Installer
Menu, and set item 020 to the desired value (16 – 19).

FLASHBK

The patient remote must now be set to match the FEATURE LEVEL
setting. That is, if item 020 is set to 17 for Bed 2, the patient remote
must also be set to multi-code Bed 2.
Note: By default, the patient remote IR code scheme is the same as
the standard LG Installer Remote IR code scheme.
2. On the patient remote, press and hold OK along with the desired
(bed) number key (1 – 4).
The LED at the top left of the remote will light for three seconds and
then turn OFF.
3. Once the LED turns OFF, release both keys on the remote.

Controlling the TV with Mechanical Switches
A typical analog pillow speaker with mechanical switches will momentarily
connect pin 1, 3, or 6 to pin 4 (Common) to control Power ON/OFF,
Channel Up, or Channel Down (see schematic at right). These pins are
at +13 volts DC (when measured from pin 4) with the switches open.
Typical current draw is 8 mA when a switch is closed. (This operation is
identical to previous models using the 5-wire interface, except that only
+7 volts DC was supplied and current draw was only 2.5 mA.)

Reference: VESA Standard TV Mounts

General Guidelines: Choosing a Location
for Installing a VESA Standard Mount
To the right are some examples of VESA
standard mounts. Since there are numerous
types of stands and mounts available, only
a few are shown here. Refer to the instructions provided with the TV stand that will be
used to mount the TV. Be sure the style of
stand selected is capable of supporting the
weight of the TV and is appropriate for the
application.
Wall Mounts
If the mount will be on a wall, a typical
wooden stud behind the wall board would be
the preferred choice for a location to attach
the wall mount. The wall mount location
chosen should be appropriate for drilling
holes and have available the required power
source as well as antenna/cable and any
other equipment leads as necessary.

Typical Wall Stud Type Mount with
Swivel Bracket

Pedestal Mounts and Stands
A sturdy surface on a desk or other similar flat
table-like furniture would be the appropriate
location for mounting a pedestal-style TV
stand.
Most stands are designed so that the wiring
is threaded through the stand itself or a loopthrough style clamp so that the wiring is
neatly bunched and not strung in such a way
as to create a potential hazard to the user.
(Some stands are portable and can be
moved from one location to another.) Be
sure all safety considerations are followed.
