Reference: Using the TV Zoning Feature
This section describes the TV Zoning feature available with the 42LQ640H model TVs. The TV Zoning
feature enables you to create localized congurations for TVs in selected locations, or “Zones,” within the
installation environment. This feature is primarily intended for use when the TV is congured for FTG Mode
via CPU operation. However, selected elements of TV Zoning (Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu prole
Zone assignments) may also be used with TV cloning processes using a USB memory device / .tlx le.
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 Conguration
The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le that contains multiple Zone
assignments. Zones can be designated for multiple FTG Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu proles.
Zone restrictions can also be assigned to individual channels in the FTG Channel Map. Thus, for example,
you may create an FTG Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu prole to be downloaded to a TV in a hotel
lobby and also restrict the channels that are available on that TV.
On location, you must set the TV Zone # in all the TVs in a select area, so that the TVs are congured
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 (see “Set the TV Zone # in the TV” on the following page
for further information). TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.
The following subsections briey 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 Prole Zone Assignments
The FTG File Manager main screen enables you to assign a Zone designation to each Installer Menu
prole to be included in an FTG Conguration (.tlx) le. For example, you may wish to create one 42LQ640H
Installer Menu prole for a hotel lobby and another 42LQ640H Installer Menu prole for a tness center, both
of which are different from the FTG Installer Menu prole for standard guest rooms. The TV Zoning feature
enables you to save multiple FTG Installer Menu proles, each with its own Zone assignment, in one FTG
Conguration (.tlx) le. If each TV in the aforementioned locations has been assigned a TV Zone # as
described in the procedure on the following page, the TV(s) will only download the Installer Menu prole in
accordance with its(their) Zone assignment.
In the FTG File Manager main screen, you can also edit the Zone designation for each Installer Menu
prole and/or TV Setup Menu prole already present in the FTG Conguration List and TV Setup Menu
List windows.
Note: See also the FTG File Manager main screen overview on page 50. In addition, note that TV Setup
Menu proles cannot be created in the FTG File Manager; they must be “Learned” from a TV.
FTG Channel Map Zone Assignments
The FTG Channel Map Editor in the FTG File Manager’s FTG Channel Map Conguration Utility enables
you to assign Zone restrictions to individual channels that may be prohibited or deemed unsuitable for
certain 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 dening or editing that channel.
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 52.
