28.Do not press against the front panel of the TV with your hand or a sharp object (e.g., a nail, pencil, or pen) or make a scratch on it.

29.Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

30.Dot Defect

The LCD panel is a high technology product with resolution of two million to six million 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.

31.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.

32.For LCD TV

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 LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.

Commercial Mode Overview

This document describes how to set up LP870H 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 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 Quick Reference Guide 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.

Hardware Connections

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

Pass-through Mode

Cable Connections

__ Make all rear jack panel and MPI card slot connections, as appropriate.

Commercial Mode Setup

__ Complete appropriate procedures as described in this document for Commercial Mode operation.

This mode allows you to configure individual TVs for Pro:Centric or FTG Mode via CPU operation and/ or create a Master TV Setup for cloning purposes for TVs that are to remain in Pass-through Mode. This mode also allows external control via the GAME CONTROL/MPI port on the TV rear jack panel.

There are two methods for configuring individual TVs that are currently in Pass-through Mode: either using the EZ-Manager Wizard or the Custom Master TV Setup procedure as described in this document.

EZ-Manager Wizard

The EZ-Manager Wizard provides automated or manual options for configuring essential items for Pro:Centric operation and also provides an option for using a USB memory device to configure the TV. Use the Installer Remote to make selections and complete each step. See “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 11 to 18 for detailed information.

Custom Master TV Setup

The Custom Master TV Setup procedure enables you to create a customized Master TV Setup for cloning purposes. 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 31 to 34 for detailed information.

206-4235

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 21 to 30 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 capturing a Master TV Setup and transferring it to a Target TV. Both TVs must be in Pass-through Mode and both TVs must be identical models. 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 36 to 44 for detailed information on cloning requirements and procedures.

External MPI Control

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.

Commercial Mode Overview (Cont.)

FTG Mode

This mode enables Pro:Idiom ® decryption and also allows logical channel mapping of physical channels to remove the need for dash tuning (for example, 64-1). TV operation in FTG Mode is based on which element of the TV owns the FTG Logical Channel Map—the CPU or the EBL. Understanding the application in which the TV will be used is vital in determining the owner.

As indicated above, FTG mode operation in the LP870H models can be provided either by the TV CPU or the EBL. These are two separate and distinct FTG Modes of operation, each with its own unique advantages and requirements as described later in this document. When the TV CPU is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the CPU controls the operation of the TV, and when the EBL is configured with an FTG Channel Map, the EBL controls the operation of the TV.

Once it is determined whether the TV CPU or the EBL will own the FTG Channel Map, configuration can begin. Configuration of either requires a PC application—the LG FTG File Manager for the TV CPU or the LG FTG Device Configuration Application for the EBL. Each application provides utilities that enable you to create/edit an FTG Channel Map and configure Installer Menu settings. See “FTG Mode of Operation Overview” on pages 45 to 46 for further information on FTG Mode operation and configuration.

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. 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 communicate with the TV to provide remote management of the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings. See Reference section, “b-LAN Setup & Overview,” for further information.

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.

On the TVs, the Pro:Centric server settings must be configured appropriately to enable Pro:Centric remote management/administration facilities, while the Pro:Centric Application Mode must be set appropriately to enable the Pro:Centric application.

Remote management/administration (TV E-Z Installation): The Pro:Centric server Admin Client provides remote management/administration facilities for downloading splash screens and software/firmware updates as well as facilities for downloading the FTG Channel Map and FTG Installer Menu settings for TVs that are in FTG Mode via CPU.

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 Admin Client.

The Pro:Centric server settings can be configured using one of the following methods:

When the TV is in a factory default state, the EZ-Manager Wizard provides Auto or Manual options for configuring the Pro:Centric server settings.

The EZ-Manager Wizard also provides a USB Configuration option that enables you to configure a TV for FTG Mode via CPU using an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file stored on a USB memory device. The FTG Configuration file incorporates FTG Installer Menu settings, which includes Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL.

Refer to “EZ-Manager Wizard” on pages 11 to 18 for further information on the EZ-Manager Wizard options.

If the TV is in Pass-through Mode, either:

−−Set Installer Menu items 098 PRO:CENTRIC and 119 DATA CHANNEL to the appropriate values. Refer to “Installer Menu” information on pages 21 to 30 for further information. Also, as necessary, refer to “Custom Master TV Setup” information on pages 31 to 34 and/or cloning information on pages 36 to 44.

−−Configure the appropriate Pro:Centric server settings in the IP Environment / Pro:Centric Menu. You must use this option, in particular, if you wish to configure IP settings for the Pro:Centric server. See “Accessing the IP Environment Menu” on page 56 and “Pro:Centric Setup” on page 60 for further information.

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 30 for additional information.

If the TV is in FTG Mode (via CPU or EBL), use the appropriate software to update the Data Channel and Pro:Centric Installer Menu items (along with their affiliated fields) and then transfer the FTG Installer Menu settings to the TV in accordance with the FTG Mode of configuration. Refer to “FTG Mode of Operation Overview” on pages 45 to 46 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.

EZ-Manager Wizard

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 TV operation. The wizard 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 wizard step.

While the EZ-Manager Wizard is intended primarily for Pro:Centric-related configuration, the wizard also offers Zoning as well as USB configuration options.

LP870H TVs support the TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features, both of which enable location-specific settings (see Reference section, “Using the TV’s Zoning Features,” for further information). The EZManager Wizard enables you to set the TV Zone # and/or the Wi-Fi Zone # in the TV as part of the configuration process.

The EZ-Manager Wizard also enables you to redirect to the TV’s standard USB Download Menu as part of the configuration process, if desired, to perform USB configuration functions, including FTG Mode via CPU configuration, cloning, and software upgrades.

You can connect a USB memory device to the TV at any time while the wizard is in progress (starting at the Welcome screen) to use the LG Smart Install utility to perform USB configuration functions. Any file(s) you wish to use for configuration purposes must be stored in a folder named “LGSMARTINSTALL” in the root directory of the USB memory device. See “LG Smart Install Utility” on pages 19 to 20 for further information.

Caution: Do NOT unplug the TV power cord or remove the antenna cable or, if applicable, the LAN cable during the configuration process, as doing so will interrupt the current step and may corrupt the configuration data.

Before You Begin

If you plan to create a Master TV Setup using the procedure described on pages 31 to 34, be sure to exit the EZ-Manager Wizard in order to avoid setting modes that may restrict the custom setup procedure. See also “Initiate Configuration or Exit the EZ-Manager Wizard” on the following page.

If it has been completed or exited and therefore does not display, the EZ-Manager Wizard can be reactivated; however, this requires that you perform an “IN-STOP” to restore factory defaults on the TV(s). Refer to Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on the TV(s),” for further information.

Each wizard step is allotted a time frame after which the wizard proceeds without user interaction. If the Pro:Centric server is configured on the system and if no location-specific settings are required in the TV, for example, TV Zone, Wi-Fi Zone, Label, and/or Room Number settings, you can simply turn ON the TV, and once initiated, the wizard will proceed through each of the configuration steps with no further user interaction.

If any of the configuration steps fails, you will see a “Diagnostics” screen with an indication of the failure. You will then have the opportunity to reinitiate the configuration process from the previous screen or exit the EZ-Manager Wizard.

If you wish to enable media sharing (i.e., Smart Share, Wi-Fi Screen Share, and DMR) on the TV without using a .tlx file for configuration purposes, you will need to create a custom Master TV Setup and use the IP Environment Menu to specify the settings. Custom Master TV Setup is described on pages 31 to 34. Refer to “IP Environment Setup” on pages 56 to 63 for information on the IP Environment Menu.

Configure Pro:Centric Settings

Once you select “Next” from the TV Configuration Options screen, the Searching for Pro:Centric Server screen is displayed (see example at right), and you have the following options:

You can allow the EZ-Manager Wizard to proceed with a series of automated steps to configure the TV for Pro:Centric operation and then to look for the Pro:Centric application and maintenance (E-Z Installation) files to download. In this case, the wizard uses a search algorithm to determine the Data Channel and the Pro:Centric Application Mode to set in the TV.

Continue with the “Automated Pro:Centric Configuration” subsection below.

If you already know the settings (i.e., Data Channel and Pro:Centric Application Mode) that need to be configured in order for the TV to connect to the Pro:Centric server and/or if the Pro:Centric server is not yet installed, you may expedite the setup process by entering this data manually.

Continue with the “Manual Pro:Centric Configuration” subsection on the following page.

Automated Pro:Centric Configuration

Note: If the server is not yet configured on the system, use the manual configuration option to configure the Pro:Centric operation.

Once the RF channel used by the Pro:Centric server as its data channel is found (the Pro:Centric Server Was Found screen will be displayed—see example at right) and the Pro:Centric Application Mode is determined, the wizard will advance to the Processing the Pro:Centric Configuration screen, which shows the progress of the data downloads. Note that some steps may require a few minutes.

If the process is successful, no further user interaction is required, though, in some instances, where the option (for example “Next”) is available, you may manually move forward to subsequent steps within the wizard to speed up the process.

Note: If, after completing the search, the TV is unable to find a Pro:Centric server’s RF channel (while the Searching for

Pro:Centric Server screen is on display), the wizard will stop and show a Diagnostics screen that enables you to manually return to the previous screen (to reinitiate the configuration) or exit the wizard.

When the Pro:Centric Configuration is complete, an EZ-Manager Configuration Complete screen is displayed, and after 10 seconds, the wizard exits, and the TV turns OFF.

Note: With the EZ-Manager Configuration Complete screen on display, you can also manually turn off or reboot the TV. If desired, select Turn Off or Reboot, respectively, and then press OK on the Installer Remote.

Installer Menu

Use the Installer Menu to set up, change, or view operational settings. This section describes how to access, use, and exit the Installer Menu from the TV itself; however, you should also refer to the Installer Menu descriptions in this document if you are configuring the TV using LG’s FTG configuration software.

Refer to the table on pages 23 and 24 for brief descriptions of Installer Menu items. More detailed descriptions follow the table listing.

Accessing the Installer Menu

1.Turn ON the TV. 

If the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you turn ON the TV, use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select Exit from the Welcome screen and press OK. In the confirmation pop-up window, select OK, and then press OK once more on the Installer Remote to exit the wizard.

2.Using an Installer Remote, press MENU SETTINGS repeatedly until the on-screen display of the TV setup menus (if the TV is in Pass-through Mode) or the Function Menu (if the TV is not in Pass-through Mode) no longer toggles, and then press the Installer Menu entry sequence (e.g., 9-8-7-6) + OK to access the Installer Menu.

Note: The default Installer Menu entry sequence is “9876”; however, if Installer Menu item 000 INSTALLER SEQUENCE has been modified, the entry sequence may be one of three additional options. See Installer Menu detailed descriptions for further information.

The Installer Menu opens with item 000 INSTALLER SEQ 000.

Typical Installer Menu

Note: If the password (entry sequence) is not entered or registered correctly, you will see the message “ENTER PASSWORD 0000” at the top of the screen instead of the Installer Menu header. Once you re-enter the correct password (e.g., press 9-8-7-6 + OK), the Installer Menu will display.

Note: If the TV is not in Pass-through Mode, the Installer Menu is accessible as read-only. Also, the TV Zone # will be indicated in the Installer Menu header under the configuration mode indicator described below.

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 STRTAUX SRCE will not display in the Installer Menu unless item 004 STRT CHANNEL is set to 0.

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 SETTINGS. For example, to access the SLEEP TIMER option, which is item 015, press 0-1-5 + MENU SETTINGS.

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)

Determines hours of no activity before automatic shutoff. The Power Management function is for saving energy. If set to 0, Power Management is Off. Settings range from 0 ~ 7, with 1 ~ 7 representing the hours that the unit will remain ON, unless there has been activity from either the control panel or remote control.

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.

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 to check for and download 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. This setting is recommended if the TV will be configured with a resident application. In this mode, the 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.

When this item is set to 2 or 3, the TV will reboot once every 24 hours and, if applicable (i.e., item 119 DATA CHANNEL is set), check for and download updates from the Pro:Centric server. The time at which this event occurs depends on the setting of item 121 UPDATE TIME HR. See item 121 description for further information. Once the update cycle is complete, the TV completes the reboot and resumes its Muted ON state.

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.

003 - BAND/AFC (Band/Automatic Frequency Control)

There are four possible settings for this option:

0

= Broadcast

1

= CATV (default)

2

= HRC

3

= IRC

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. #

253

= IP Start Channel

126 = Map to Major CH 3

255

= Last Channel

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 LodgeNet PPV Mode.

Note: The IP Start Channel shown above can only be set in the FTG File Manager, which is used to configure TV CPUs for FTG Mode. The same applies for the additional Major Channel number range of 128 ~ 135 in Physical tuning and 128~999 in Virtual tuning mode. This means that these values, if set, will only be visible in the read-only Installer Menu when the TV is in FTG Mode via CPU. The read-only display also will show additional information about the channel, for example, the IP address and port number, etc.

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.

206-4235

25

Installer Menu (Cont.)

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., SETTINGS, OK, and menu navigation buttons will not function. Set to 0 to disable Key Defeat. Note that all IR features remain functional regardless of this setting.

Note: Users can always access the menus by pressing MENU SETTINGS on the remote.

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.

Set to 1 to activate V-Chip (Parental Control) and have it available to the end user to filter and control or otherwise restrict programming content that can appear. Set to 0 to turn the V-Chip feature Off (not available to user); no programming restrictions can be set.

022 - MAX BLK HRS (Maximum Block Hours)

Sets hours from 0 to 99 for the maximum V-Chip (Parental Control) block hours. Default setting is for 12 blocking hours.

Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu when item 084 PERMANENT BLK is set to 1.

023 - CAPTION LOCK

If set to 0, captions are OFF when the TV is turned ON. Set to 1 to use the caption setting configured before the TV was turned OFF when the TV is turned ON.

028 - CH. OVERIDE (Channel Override)

If set to 1, the user can select channels with either Channel Up/ Down or by direct keypad entry. If set to 0, only those channels that are active in the TV’s memory can be selected.

029 - OLD OCV (On Command Video™)

Set to 1 to remap the PTC’s direct tune channels for Aux inputs from 13x to 9x. This allows 2-digit only tuning systems (i.e., legacy OCV) to direct tune Aux inputs. See also Reference section, “TV Aux Input Configuration.”
