Cloning Overview
Cloning refers to the process of capturing a Master TV Setup and transferring it to a Target TV
that is to remain in Pass-through Mode. There are two different procedures for cloning a Master
TV Setup, each with its own advantages and limitations (see also “Cloning Methods” on page 31):
• Using a USB memory device / TLX le
• Using a USB memory device / TLL le
Each cloning method is described in further detail on the pages that follow.
Learning / Teaching a Master TV Setup using a TLX File
This section describes how to Learn and/or Teach a Master TV Setup using a TLX le.
Before You Begin
• Learning and Teaching is only possible between identical model TVs.
• Complete the Custom Master TV Setup procedure (see pages 31 to 35).
• Both the Master and Target TVs must be in Pass-through Mode (i.e., the TV setup menus should
be displayed when you press MENU on the Installer Remote).
• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.
• 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 will result in
the Target TV(s) being congured for FTG Mode.
• If a TV Zone # has been set in the Master TV (for location-specic conguration) before the
Learning process is initiated, the Zone designation will be used during the subsequent Teaching
process(es). This means that in order for the “Learned” clone data with the TV Zone assignment
to be applied, any Target TVs will need to be assigned the same Zone designation BEFORE
Teaching is performed. See Reference section, “Using the TV Zoning Feature,” for further
information. See also bullet below.
• If you intend to use the TV Zoning feature, make sure to assign a TV Zone # as described in
Reference section, “Using the TV Zoning Feature,” BEFORE continuing with the Learning
procedure below. See also bullet above.
• 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.
Caution: Do not unplug the TV power cord or remove/disconnect the USB memory
device while Learning or Teaching, as doing so may cause the TV to malfunction or
harm the USB device, respectively.
