Installer Overview

This is the commercial mode setup guide only. For all other
information refer to the separately-supplied TV Owner’s Manual
(Users guide).

Operating Installer Menu

To set up the controls for the TV you will need to know how to enter
the TV Installer menu and make changes to the default values as
required. If necessary, familiarize yourself with the TV Installer menu
and how to make and save changes in the menu.

LG Installer Remote

You will need an LG Installer remote control similar to the one
shown to the right. The installer remote must have a “Source” but­ton or its equivalent. The remote shown in this manual has “INPUT”

-- this button serves the purpose of a Source button.
The TV’s clonable features need to be set up. This is a critical step.

If the Master TV display panel’s clonable features like adding channel
icons or channel labels are not done properly, then the cloned TV
TVs will all have problems. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for other TV
features: Video, Audio etc.

LT2002 Clone Programmer

As the cloning procedure is being performed, specific steps need to
be done at the indicated times to achieve the desired result. Be sure
to do each cloning task as indicated. If a procedure or step is left

out or not performed correctly, then the TV
setup will be wrong and cloning may not
work. At each step, pay attention to assure
the TV screen shows the proper message(s)
when cloning. If the message indicated does
not appear, there is a problem with that step
and cloning may not be successful. Cloning is
only possible when the signal source is an
An

alog channel, not a digital channel.

Commercial Mode Setup for Master TV

This page provides an overview of the TV configuration. See the pages listed below for more
specific, detailed instructions at each step; how to access and use the Installer menu etc.

Before you begin cloning...

• The Master TV should be connected to a good, stable signal

from an over-the-air antenna or cable service Analog channel
and connected to power. (See above.)

• Teaching and Learning is only possible between identical

model devices. (However, the LT2002 Clone programmer can
store up to 3 different ‘master’ setups.)

WARNING: Copying a blank or incorrect memory into a TV, STB

or other device will cause the TV, STB or other device to
operate erratically or become inoperable.

• Use an Installer’s remote to operate Learning and Teaching

menus.

• Make sure that the batteries in the Clone programmer are

fresh.

• If batteries are removed, the Clone Clock time will be lost.

• Decide if you want to set the time from the Clone program­mer or copy the time to the Clone programmer; from a com­patible TV which has the clock set to the current time.

• Setting the time and transferring it to the Clone or other
device is a separate procedure.

• Follow the connection diagram above to connect the Clone to
a Master TV TV display panel. After learning is complete, to
another identical TV TV display panel to “teach” it the master
setup.

• See the Clone Troubleshooting section to resolve problems.

Tur n to the next page to continue Cloning Setup.

Connections for the LT2002 Clone Programmer to Learn the TV Master TV Setup

Notes: It is assumed that the TV is connected to a signal source, the source selected is Antenna (RF) In, the
signal is from an Analog channel, not a digital channel, all equipment is connected to power and turned on
and the LT2002 Clone Programmer main menu (THE CLONE HAS CONTROL OF THE TV) menu is displayed on the
TV screen, see above and next page.

Clone Programmer

Use MPI Cable to Connect LT2002 Clone Programmer to
Master TV MPI Port

If there is a good connection, “THE CLONE HAS CONTROL OF TV”
message will appear. Press any key on the Installer remote.

Learn Setup from Master TV

Press 1 to select the “LEARN FROM TV” option, then press ON/OFF,
POWER, or ENTER to go to the Memory Bank Selection Menu. Pick the
Memory ”Bank” you want to store the master TV’s setup in by press­ing either Channel key repeatedly to choose Memory 1, 2 or 3. (If
you choose a Memory “Bank” that has a master device’s setup pro­grammed into it, that setup will be overwritten by the new master
TV’s setup.) Once the Clone memory bank is selected, press ON/OFF,
POWER, or ENTER. The Clone memory bank you have selected will be
shown. Press ON/OFF or POWER to begin copying the master TV’s
setup.

Set the Clock (Optional)

Set the time on a Master TV’s Clock. (If the time has already been
copied from a TV into the Clone programmer, you can set a master
TV’s clock by copying the time from the Clone programmer.) The
Clone Programmer can copy the current time to both a master TV and
to the Clone’s internal clock; accurate to within one minute. (Another
reason that the Clone programmer should be equipped with fresh,
high-quality alkaline batteries, is for it to keep the time as accurate­ly as possible.)

Since the Clone Programmer’s time cannot be set directly, the current
time needs to be copied from a Zenith/LG TV equipped with M.P.I.
input capability.

After the time is copied to the Clone programmer, the current time
can then be transferred to another TV. (This can be a master TV, or
another TV which has already had the features set up.)

Instructions for the Clone Programmer to Learn the Master TV Setup

LT2002 Clone Programmer Communication Problems

• A slow flashing green light indicates there are communica­tion problems between the TV and the LT2002 clone program­mer. If this is the case, check for a damaged cable, poor con­tacts, or other connection troubles.

• If the status indicator is red, the programmer batteries are
low and should be replaced. Install 4 high-quality alkaline
AA batteries.

After learning is complete, remove the M.P.I. cable from the
master TV and connect it to the target TV that you want to
copy the master TV’s setup into. With “THE CLONE HAS

Channel key to go to the “TEACH TO TV” option, press ON/OFF,
POWER, or ENTER. Select the LT2002 memory that the new
setup is in. Press On/Off to transfer the new setup and other
information to the new TV. Teaching usually takes 2-3 minutes.
After the “TEACHING COMPLETE” message is displayed, press
any key to return to the Clone menu, then press ON/OFF,
POWER, or ENTER. If finished, detach M.P.I. cable from the
target, newly-cloned TV.

Disconnect TV Power for 15 Seconds

Unplug the AC power cord of the newly-cloned TV from the
