Caution: It is recommended that appliances be placed

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit

which powers only that appliance and has no additional

outlets or branch circuits. Check the STB specifications.

4. Follow all instructions.

Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its

appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,

discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced

with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,

such as twisting, kinking, or pinching or being closed in a

door or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall

outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accor-

dance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources, such as radiators,

heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including

amplifiers) that produce heat.

Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be sure to grasp

the plug when unplugging the power cord. Do not pull on the

power cord to unplug the STB.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades

with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug

has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide

blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If

the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult

an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

18. Overloading

Do not connect too many appliances to the same AC power

outlet as this could result in fire or electric shock. Do not

overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or

damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,

or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of

these conditions could result in ﬁre or electric shock.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched,

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where it exits from the apparatus.

19. Outdoor Use/Wet Location

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

Warning: To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electrical

shock, do not expose this product to rain,

moisture or other liquids.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/

apparatus combination in order to avoid injury from

tip-over.

Do not touch the STB with wet hands. Do not install this

product near ﬂammable objects such as gasoline or candles or

expose the STB to direct air conditioning.

Do not expose to dripping or splashing and do not place

objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, cups, etc., on or over

the apparatus (e.g., on shelves above the unit).

20. Grounding

PORTABLE CART WARNING

Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to prevent

possible electric shock (i.e., an STB with a three-prong

grounded AC plug must be connected to a three-prong

grounded AC outlet). If grounding methods are not possible,

have a qualiﬁed electrician install a separate circuit breaker.

Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to telephone

wires, lightning rods, or gas pipes.

13. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been

damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or

plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects

have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been

exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,

or has been dropped.

21. Disconnect Device

The mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must

remain readily operable.

14. Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a thunder or

lightning storm.

As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet, it is not

disconnected from the AC power source even if you turn off

this unit by SWITCH.

15. When mounting an STB on the wall, make sure not to install

the STB by the hanging power and signal cables on the back

of the STB.

(Continued on next page)

STB-3000 Cabling Connections

This section describes how to connect the STB-3000 to a compatible commercial display panel (LG

Hospitality TV, LG Public Display TV, LG Commercial Monitor, or commercial non-LG TV with MTI support).

Connect the STB to the Display Panel

The following procedure only describes connections that are essential for STB functionality. See Reference

section, “STB-3000 Jack Panels,” for further information on the additional jack panel ports and connectors.

Note: An LG Installer Remote (not supplied) is required to complete this procedure, as well as STB/display

panel conﬁguration procedures in this document. If you are using an LG display panel, a standard LG

Installer Remote should be sufﬁcient. However, if you are not using an LG display panel and/or if you wish

to take advantage of the STB’s multi-code feature, LG’s STB-dedicated Installer Remote will be required.

See Reference sections, “Installer Remote Typical Key Functions” and “STB Installer Remote,” for further

information.

1. Turn ON the display panel. Before you connect the STB to the display panel, the display panel should

be in a known state. That is, the display panel should be either in a factory default state or custom

conﬁgured (in its default mode) with selected settings, for example, the aspect ratio, that you wish to

use in conjunction with the STB. When you are ready to proceed, leave the display panel turned ON,

and then continue with step 2.

2. Refer to the STB-3000 Cabling diagram on the next page, and complete the following connections:

Make the appropriate Display Control connection between the STB-3000 and the display panel.

• For LG Hospitality TVs: Use the MPI/MTI cable provided to connect DISPLAY CONTROL 2 on the

STB-3000 front jack panel to the MPI port on the rear jack panel of the display.

• For LG Public Display TVs or LG Commercial Monitors: Use the TLM cable provided to connect

DISPLAY CONTROL 1 on the STB-3000 rear jack panel to the RS-232 CONTROL connector on

the rear jack panel of the display.

• For commercial non-LG TVs: Use the MPI/MTI cable provided to connect DISPLAY CONTROL 2 on

the STB-3000 front jack panel to the MTI (typically labeled “DATA”) port on the rear jack panel of the

display.

Use the HDMI cable provided to connect HDMI OUT on the STB-3000 rear jack panel to the HDMI1

input connector on the rear jack panel of the display.

For RF delivered content, connect a 75 ohm coaxial wire from the Antenna/CATV wall jack to

ANTENNA/CABLE IN on the STB-3000 rear jack panel. For IP delivered content, connect an RJ-45

Ethernet (CAT5) cable from the institution’s network to the LAN port on the STB-3000 rear jack panel.

Insert the DC power plug of the AC/DC power adapter provided into the POWER connector on the

rear jack panel of the STB-3000, and then plug the AC/DC adapter into a standard 120V 60 Hz AC

power outlet.

Once power is applied to the STB-3000, the LED on the STB’s front jack panel will light steadily,

indicating that the STB is in standby mode. Also, the display panel will be turned OFF by the STB as

soon as the STB is powered and establishes display control communication with the display.

Note: Once display control communication is established between the STB-3000 and the display

panel, the STB-3000 will be in control of the display panel, and certain resident panel functions, like

panel buttons, will no longer operate.

3. Use the Installer Remote to turn ON the STB/display panel.

Note: If the server is not yet conﬁgured on the system, use the manual conﬁguration option to

conﬁgure the Pro:Centric operation. See also note below.

Note: If Pro:Centric data delivery will be over IP and there is a DNS server at the site, you can

create a DNS entry “procentric.local” for the Pro:Centric server that will enable automated

Pro:Centric IP conﬁguration via the EZ-Manager. If there is no DNS entry for procentric.local, you

must use the manual conﬁguration option to conﬁgure the Pro:Centric IP operation.

Once the Pro:Centric data channel is found (a Pro:Centric Server Was Found screen will be

displayed) 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 (see example on following page). Note that some steps may require a few minutes.

Note: The utility will only allow you to select one of each ﬁle type for downloading. For example,

if there are two ﬁles in the Ez Download Teach To STB (TLX) list, you can only select one or the

other of those two ﬁles.

Note: The initial default value for each ﬁle type is “None.” After the Ez Download utility is run,

a ﬁle is automatically created and stored on the USB device that was used. The ﬁle, which

will have a “.dzm” ﬁle extension, maintains a history of the ﬁle(s) previously used with the Ez

Download utility. The next time(s) you use this USB device with the Ez Download utility, the

ﬁle(s) selected for the last download will be pre-selected for the current download.

Note: If an STB Software (CPU) ﬁle is selected, STB SW Version and Update Version ﬁelds will

be displayed at the bottom right of the screen. Ensure the software version of the selected ﬁle is

the correct version before applying the update to this STB.

9. If a TLX ﬁle that includes an FTG Channel Map is selected, a Channel Tuning / Channel Banner

Display ﬁeld will be displayed at the right of the screen. If the FTG Channel Map comprises RF

channels and Aux inputs only (the latter designated by 130-0 through 137-0), you can choose

the format for the channel tuning/banner display. Use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to

select Logical tuning or Physical tuning. A checkmark will appear at the left of the selected

Update progress will be shown in a new screen. Do NOT remove the USB device while updates

are in progress. When the Ez Download process is complete, an overview of the results will

brieﬂy be displayed and then, depending on the type(s) of updates completed, you will either

be returned to program viewing or the STB will reboot (see note below).

Note: If the STB’s CPU or PTC software has just been updated, the STB will reboot after the

Ez Download process is complete. The STB will also initiate a reboot if you updated the STB

configuration with a TLX file that included a change to Installer Menu item 105 VID OUT

FORMAT (the new screen resolution will additionally require user conﬁrmation after reboot—see

item 105 description on page 37).

11. Remove the USB memory device, and verify that the appropriate configuration/update(s) is/are

resident on the STB.

Note for TLX configuration: When conﬁguration (and, if applicable, an STB reboot/conﬁrmation

of new screen resolution) is complete, the STB tunes according to the Start Channel setting in

the Installer Menu. If a Start Channel is speciﬁed, the STB will tune to that channel, though in the

case of FTG Mode 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 STB will either return to the last channel tuned (STB in Pass-through Mode) or

tune to the ﬁrst channel in the FTG Channel Map (STB in FTG Mode). In the latter case, remember

that the channels in the FTG Channel Map are always arranged in logical order, regardless of your

selection in step 9.

Installer Menu (Cont.)

Detailed Descriptions of Installer Menu Items

000 - INSTALLER SEQUENCE

004 - STRT CHANNEL (Start Channel)

Speciﬁes entry sequence to the Installer Menu.

If active, this function allows you to determine the initial Major

Start Channel number when the STB/display panel is turned

ON. This feature is useful for an in-house information channel,

since the STB/display would always select that channel when it is

turned ON. If set to 255, the last channel tuned before the STB/

display was turned OFF will be the channel tuned when the STB/

display is turned ON again.

0 = 9876

2 = 1478

1 = 4321

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 display control

panel or from the remote, before the STB automatically turns itself

OFF. If set to 0, Power Management is disabled.

0 = Aux

1 ~ 125 = Major Ch. #

126 = Map to Major CH 3

127 = Map to Major CH 4

253 = IP Start Channel

255 = Last Channel

002 - AC ON (AC Power Switchable)

Note: For a digital Start Channel, always remember to set item

104 to the Minor Start Channel number.

If set to 1, this allows the STB/display panel to turn ON when AC

power is applied. Pressing the POWER button is not necessary.

This is desirable if the STB is plugged into a switched AC outlet.

Set to 2 or 3 to enable the Instant ON feature (see additional

information below). Set to 0 (default) for standard STB/display

turn ON/OFF operation.

Note: 126 and 127 are mapped only in SONIFI PPV Mode.

Note: The IP Start Channel shown above can only be set in the

FTG File Manager, which is used to conﬁgure STB 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 STB is in FTG

Mode. The read-only display also will show additional information

about the channel, for example, the IP address and port number,

etc.

The Instant ON feature allows the STB to turn ON when AC power

is applied, while the display panel remains OFF. The STB retains

its ON status, and the POWER button only toggles the display On

and Off.

• If this item is set to 2, the STB will reboot to check for and down-

load updates from the Pro:Centric server each time the display

panel is turned OFF. This setting is not recommended if the STB

will be conﬁgured with a resident application.

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).

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

download updates each time the display panel is turned OFF.

This setting is recommended if the STB 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 STB with

a resident application.

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 STB will remain locked on

channel 3.

When this item is set to 2 or 3, the STB 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 STB completes the reboot

and resumes its ON state with the display panel OFF.

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 STB.

To translate an STB volume level to the Installer Menu value,

use the following formula:

Installer Value = STB Value x 63

100

Note: If set to 1, the STB does not respond to ON/OFF commands

from the remote, and the SLEEP TIMER is also nonfunctional.

Enter only the whole number (disregard fractions).

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

There are four possible settings for this option:

007 - STRT VOLUME (Start Volume)

0 = Broadcast

2 = HRC

1 = CATV (default)

3 = IRC

This function allows the Installer to determine the initial volume

level setting when the STB/display panel is turned ON. This feature

is useful for an in-house information channel, since the STB/display

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 STB/display was turned OFF will be the current volume level

when the STB/display is turned ON again.

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.

Installer Menu (Cont.)

008 - MIN VOLUME (Minimum Volume)

020 - FEATURE LEVEL

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 STB.

Determines an additional IR code scheme to which the STB will

respond, allowing for the use of unique IR codes based on “bed

number” in a multi-STB/display single room installation. First

determine the IR mode; then select the bed number.

Note: The STB-dedicated Installer Remote is required for use of

this feature. For further information, see Reference section, “STB

Installer Remote.”

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 STB.

021 - V-CHIP (Parental Control)

Set to 1 to activate V-Chip (Parental Control) and have it available

to the end user to ﬁlter and control or otherwise restrict program-

ming content that can appear. Set to 0 to turn the V-Chip feature

Off (not available to user); no programming restrictions can be set.

Note: The maximum volume level cannot have a value setting

lower than the minimum volume level (described above).

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.

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.

Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu when item

021 V-CHIP is set to 0 or when item 084 PERMANENT BLK is set

to 1.

011 - KEY DEFEAT

Applicable for LG Hospitality and commercial non-LG display

panels only. If set to 1, Key Defeat is enabled, which means that

end users cannot access or navigate within the STB’s on-screen

menu(s) using the display panel button(s); e.g., SETTINGS, OK,

and menu navigation buttons will not function. Set to 0 to disable

Key Defeat.

023 - CAPTION LOCK

If set to 0, captions are OFF when the STB/display panel is turned

ON. Set to 1 to use the caption setting conﬁgured before the STB/

display was turned OFF when the STB/display is turned ON.

028 - CH. OVERIDE (Channel Override)

Note: Users can always access the STB’s menus by pressing

MENU on the remote.

Applicable for Pass-through Mode only. If set to 1, users can select

channels either with Channel Up/Down or by direct keypad entry.

This setting also allows full access to channel settings in the STB

setup menus (i.e., channels may be added or removed from the

channel lineup, channel labels and icons may be edited, etc.). If set

to 0, the channel lineup is locked. That is, user access to channel

settings in the STB setup menus is restricted, and users can only

tune to the channels that are included in the channel lineup. Also, in

this case, users can only select channels using Channel Up/Down;

direct keypad entry is not available.

Note: This feature does not apply to LG Public Displays or LG

Commercial Monitors since the STB will always disable those

displays’ panel buttons and the processing of IR.

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)

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, “STB

Aux Input Conﬁguration.”

Note: The STB 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: Bluetooth may be used in selected installation environments,

with Bluetooth enabled devices, for example, an LG Magic Motion

Remote (MMR). However, depending on the application for which

the STB is installed, you may need to disable Bluetooth.

108 - PANEL COM (Panel Communication)

Sets the display panel baud rate:

0 = 1200

1 = 2400

2 = 9600 (default)

3 = 115200

102 - ATSC BAND

Sets up STB to receive different types of incoming signals.

110 - PANEL DELAY

0 = Broadcast

3 = IRC

1 = CATV

4 = Same as NTSC

2 = HRC

After the STB sends the turn ON command to the display panel,

the display panel requires time to complete its power on sequence

before it begins accepting commands from the STB. This item sets

the time, in seconds, to delay the STB’s initial communication with

the display panel. The default value is 8 seconds.

103 - ATSC TUNE MODE

Sets ATSC tuning mode. Default set to 1 for Physical Channel

scan. Set to 0 for Virtual Channel scan.

Note: The amount of time required for the display’s power on

sequence varies by display panel brand/model. Thus, depending

on the brand/model of display panel connected to the STB, you

may be able to decrease or you may need to increase the Panel

Delay value, accordingly.

104 - START MINOR CHANNEL

Sets Minor Start Channel number at power up. 0 = NTSC. If not

0, number selected is the digital channel’s Minor Start Channel

number.

Note: This item does not apply to LG Hospitality display panels.

Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu when item

004 STRT CHANNEL is set to 0 or 255.

111 - PANEL VOL PRE (Panel Volume Preset)

Determines a preset ﬁxed volume level (gain) to set in the display

panel. The audio signal (volume level) is dynamically controlled

in the STB. The default value is 100 to provide a typical 1:1 ratio

of volume level to sound output when the STB is connected to an

LG display panel.

105 - VID OUT FORMAT

Selects the format for video output (i.e., the screen resolution):

1 = 720p (default)

4 = 1080p

5 = 1366 x 768

If you change the video output format on location, once you exit

the STB Installer Menu, a Changing Screen Resolution pop-up

banner will appear at the bottom of the display screen, and then

the STB will reboot to change to the resolution per your selection.

When the reboot is complete, a conﬁrmation pop-up banner for

the new screen resolution will be displayed. To conﬁrm the new

screen resolution, use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to

select YES in the conﬁrmation banner, and then press OK on the

Installer Remote.

Note: Sound output may vary by display panel brand/model. Thus,

depending on the brand/model of display panel connected to the

STB, you may need to adjust the preset volume level to achieve

the desired sound output.

113 - PANEL TYPE

Sets the TLM command set to communicate with the display

panel. This setting is only applicable for LG Public Display TVs

and Commercial Monitors that use the DISPLAY CONTROL 1

port for STB-to-display panel communication. The default value

(4) will be appropriate for most current display models. See

Reference section, “Display Panel Speciﬁcations,” to determine

the appropriate setting for the display panel being used.

Note: If there is no user interaction within 10 seconds of the

prompt for conﬁrmation, or if you select “NO” in the conﬁrmation

banner, the STB will reboot and revert to the former resolution.

Note: If this item is updated via a TLX ﬁle loaded on a Pro:Centric

server, no conﬁrmation is required.

116 - VIDEO MUTE EN (Video Mute Enable)

Applicable for analog channels only. If set to 1, video mutes

(blank screen) when no signal is present.

Installer Menu (Cont.)

117 - FACT DEFAULT (Factory Default)

Set to 1 and press OK to restore the factory default settings of all

Installer Menu items. Once complete, the value returns to 0.

Under standard STB/display panel OFF/ON operating conditions

(i.e., item 002 AC ON is set to 0), a Wake For Update event occurs

when the STB/display is OFF and causes the STB to temporarily

turn ON, perform the update cycle, and then turn back OFF, all

while the display remains OFF. If item 002 AC ON is set to 2 or 3

for Instant ON, then the STB is always ON and Wake For Update

occurs when the display is OFF. The Wake for Update event

causes the STB to reboot in order to perform the update cycle and

then return to its ON state with the display panel OFF. See also

description for item 002.

Caution: If set to 1, this clears all STB Installer Menu

custom settings and restores the factory default

settings. It also clears the channel lineup, including

any assigned channel icons and custom text labels.

Note: See also Reference section, “Restoring Factory Defaults on

the STB(s),” for further information.

Random Distribution of Update Time: If this item is set to 128

(OFF), the time at which either 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: Each STB initiates the search

and/or checks for updates during the 2 AM hour (if the STB clock

is set) or after two hours of elapsed time from when AC power

was applied (if the STB clock is not set). Also, in this case, a ﬁxed

update time minute from 0 to 59 that has been assigned to each

STB is used. (The intention of this feature is to prevent all of the

installed STBs from performing updates at the same time; however,

note that in installations that have a large quantity of STBs with this

feature, there will be some STBs that have the same update minute

assignments.) The update time for the STB is displayed at the right

of this item in the Installer Menu, for example:

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. If left at the default value (255), the STB’s Data Channel

Auto Search feature will be enabled (see additional information

below). *

Data Channel Auto Search feature: When this item is set to 255

(default), once every 24 hours, the STB 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 UPDATE TIME HR. See item

121 description for further information.

121 UPDATE TIME HR OFF 02:34

If the display is ON when a Wake For Update is to occur, the

update will take place the next time the display is turned OFF.

Note: Pro:Centric updates are downloaded from the Pro:Centric

server to the STB when the STB/display panel is turned OFF.

While Pro:Centric updates are in progress, it is not possible to

turn ON the STB/display.

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 Data Channel is automatically set to “253” if Media

Type is set to “IP” either in the EZ-Manager Wizard or in the

STB’s IP Environment / Pro:Centric Menu (see “EZ-Manager

Wizard” on pages 15 to 24 or “Pro:Centric Setup” on pages 54

to 56, respectively) or if Installer Menu item #119 Data Channel

is set to “IP Address” in the FTG File Manager, which is used to

conﬁgure STB CPUs for FTG Mode operation. It is not possible to

change the value to “253” directly in the Installer Menu.

Note: The STB 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. If item 121 is NOT

set to 128 and you wish to invoke the “random” minute assignment

on the STB, set this item to 255. See also description for item 121

UPDATE TIME HR above.

121 - UPDATE TIME HR

Based on the settings of this item and item 122 UPDATE TIME

MN, the Wake For Update feature wakes the STB once daily to

check for and, if applicable, download updates from the Pro:Centric

server.

Note: This item is not available in the Installer Menu unless item

121 UPDATE TIME HR is set from 0 to 23.

Note: The STB 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.

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 STB will not

initiate update events—see additional information below.

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

Custom Master STB Setup

This section describes how to create a customized Master STB Setup for cloning purposes when

the STB is in Pass-through Mode. The Master STB Setup can used to configure either STBs that

are to remain in Pass-through Mode or STBs that are to be configured for FTG Mode.

Note: Cloning requirements and procedures are described in detail on pages 42 to 47.

Note: You can use the FTG File Manager to create an FTG Conﬁguration (.tlx) ﬁle for FTG Mode

conﬁguration, if desired (see pages 48 to 49). However, it is not possible to customize STB setup

menu settings in the FTG File Manager. If you wish to include customized STB setup menu settings

in the STB conﬁguration, in addition to the channel lineup and Installer Menu settings, perform the

Master STB Setup procedure to create the 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.

• All Learning and Teaching processes on the STB are performed via USB memory device / TLX

ﬁle. The TLX ﬁle format clones Installer Menu settings, IP Environment Menu settings (with the

exception of unique STB attributes), and all STB sources’ (analog, digital, AV1, HDMI, etc.)

clonable setup menu settings. See also “Clonable STB Setup Menu Features” list below.

• If the TLX ﬁle contains an FTG Channel Map (created during Master STB Setup or in FTG File

Manager), the Target STB(s) will be conﬁgured for FTG Mode after Teaching is performed,

though as part of the Teaching process, you may have the option to select either logical or physical

channel tuning. If you wish to retain the default Pass-through Mode for all Target STBs, the TLX ﬁle

should not include an FTG Channel Map.

Cloning Procedures (Cont.)

(Continued from previous page)

• If the TLX ﬁle contains an FTG Channel Map that was Learned from an STB, the physical RF

channels in the FTG Channel Map have been assigned logical channel numbers (see “Learning

Conﬁguration from a Master STB” above). When you Teach the FTG Channel Map to the Target

STB(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 the TLX ﬁle contains an FTG Channel Map that was created in the FTG File Manager, each

logical channel number in the FTG Channel Map has been assigned a physical RF channel, an

IP channel, or an Aux input (the latter designated by 130-0 through 137-0—see also Reference

section, “STB Aux Input Conﬁguration”).

Note: When you Teach the FTG Channel Map to the Target STB(s), depending on the types of

channels included in the FTG Channel Map, you may 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 TLX ﬁle was created in the FTG File Manager, it may contain multiple zoned FTG Installer

Menu proﬁles for different STB/TV models. Make sure it includes the appropriate Installer Menu

proﬁle(s) for the Target STB(s) before Teaching.

Caution: Do not unplug the STB power cord or remove the USB memory device

while Teaching, as doing so may cause the STB to malfunction or harm the USB

device, respectively.

Teach Conﬁguration to Target STB

1. Turn ON the Target STB/display panel.

2. The next step depends on whether the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you

until Teaching is complete. When the Teaching process is complete, an “Updating completed”

message is brieﬂy displayed, and the STB Manager / USB Download Menu is exited (see

also note below).

Note: If you updated the STB configuration with a TLX file that included a change to Installer

Menu item 105 VID OUT FORMAT, once Teaching is completed, a Changing Screen Resolution

banner will be displayed, and the STB will reboot within a few seconds to change the resolution

per your selection. The new screen resolution will also require user conﬁrmation after reboot.

See item 105 description on page 37 for further information.

10. Remove the USB memory device from the Target STB, and verify that the appropriate

conﬁguration is now resident on the Target STB.

Note: If the Target STB was previously in Pass-through Mode, and the TLX ﬁle used for Teaching

contained an FTG Channel Map, the Target STB CPU is now in FTG Mode. After the Teaching

process (and, if applicable, an STB reboot/conﬁrmation of new screen resolution) is complete,

the STB tunes according to the Start Channel setting in the Installer Menu. If a Start Channel is

speciﬁed, the STB will tune to that channel, though, in the case of FTG Mode 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 8, the channel banner will display either the Start Channel’s

logical channel number or physical RF channel number). Otherwise, the STB will either return to

the last channel tuned (STB in Pass-through Mode) or tune to the ﬁrst channel in the FTG Channel

Map (STB in FTG Mode). If the latter, remember that the channels in the FTG Channel Map are

always arranged in logical order, regardless of your selection in step 8.

FTG File Manager Utilities Overview

This section provides an overview of the FTG File Manager, which is used for FTG Mode configuration.

FTG File Manager software is available online at: www.LGsolutions.com/ftgsoftware.

Creating an FTG Conﬁguration File

The procedure below describes how to use the FTG File Manager utilities (see sample screens on pages

50 to 53) 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 (Learn) FTG Conﬁguration from an STB, which may be desirable or

required if you want to save customized STB setup menu settings to the FTG Conﬁguration ﬁle and/or if you

do not know the RF channels at the site. See “Learning Conﬁguration from a Master STB” on pages 42 to

44 for further information.

This procedure provides an overview of the steps required to create the 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 (v1.2.1 or higher) 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 setup menu settings can be included in the new FTG

Configuration file, the 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 logical channels (combined total of both RF and IP mapped 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: Restoring Factory Defaults on the STB(s)

This section describes how to restore all factory defaults or just the Installer Menu factory defaults either on

a single STB that is currently in Pass-through or FTG Mode or on multiple STBs that are currently in FTG

Mode.

Restore All Factory Defaults

This section describes how to restore a single STB, regardless of its current 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 on the STB. This procedure will also reactivate the

EZ-Manager Wizard.

1. Use the Installer Remote to access the STB’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 STB.

Installer Menu Item 117 FACT DEFAULT

If the STB 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 STB’s factory

defaults is required, see “Restore All Factory Defaults” above.

Additional FTG Mode Options

There are two additional options for restoring Pass-through Mode/Installer Menu factory defaults on STBs

that are in FTG Mode. The ﬁrst enables you to restore a single STB to Pass-through Mode, while the

second enables you to restore multiple STBs 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, “Teach” a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Conﬁguration (.tlx) ﬁle to the

STB. Refer to “Teaching Conﬁguration to a Target STB” on pages 44 to 47 for further information on the

Teaching process.

• 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.

Reference: Using the STB’s Zoning Features

This section describes the TV Zoning and Wi-Fi Zoning features available with the STB-3000. These

features are primarily intended for use when the STB is conﬁgured for FTG Mode operation; however,

Wi-Fi Zoning, along with selected elements of TV Zoning (Installer Menu and TV [STB] Setup Menu proﬁle

Zone assignments), may also be used with STB cloning processes using a USB memory device / TLX ﬁle.

Refer to the appropriate section(s) below for further information on the Zoning features and how to set the

TV Zone # or Wi-Fi Zone # in an STB that is currently in Pass-through Mode.

TV Zoning Feature

The TV Zoning feature enables you to create localized conﬁgurations for STBs/displays in selected locations,

or “Zones,” within the installation environment, for example, a hotel lobby, ﬁtness center, restaurant, etc.

Using the TV Zoning Feature with FTG Mode 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 STB-3000 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 an STB/display in the hotel lobby and also

restrict the channels that are available to be tuned on that STB/display.

The TV Zone # must be set appropriately on each STB in order for the STBs to be conﬁgured correctly.

See “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” on page 70, and set the TV Zone # in all the

STBs in a select area, so that the STBs/displays 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 STB-3000 Installer Menu proﬁle for the hotel lobby and another STB-3000 Installer Menu proﬁle for the

ﬁtness center, both of which are different from the Installer Menu proﬁle used for standard guest rooms. The

TV Zoning feature enables you to save multiple STB-3000 FTG Installer Menu proﬁles, each with its own

Zone assignment, in one FTG Conﬁguration ﬁle. If each STB in the aforementioned locations (Zones) has

had its TV Zone # set appropriately, as described in the procedure on page 70 or via the EZ-Manager Wizard,

the STB(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 50. In addition, note that TV Setup

Menu proﬁles cannot be created in the FTG File Manager; they must be “Learned” from a TV/STB.

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

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 deﬁning or editing that channel.

206-4272

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Reference: Using the STB’s Zoning Features (Cont.)

Note: While a channel can be restricted from up to eight Zones, an STB can only ever be in (set for) one

Zone. See also the FTG Channel Map Editor overview on page 52.

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 STBs/displays 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 STBs/displays 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 STB 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 STB will ﬁrst look in the ﬁle for the STB-3000

Installer Menu and/or TV Setup Menu proﬁle(s) with a Zone 1 designation. If none of the STB-3000 Installer

Menu and/or TV Setup Menu proﬁles has a Zone 1 designation, the STB will then look for the STB-3000

proﬁle(s) with a Zone 0 designation. For the FTG Channel Map conﬁguration, when the TV Zone # is set to

0, the STB 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 STB 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 / TLX ﬁle may be saved (Learned) from an individual STB as part of a

Master STB Setup and then be used during Teaching. For example, if the TV Zone # in the Master STB is

set to 3 before Learning is initiated, the Master STB’s Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu proﬁles will be

saved with the TV Zone 3 assignment when Learning is completed. In order to conﬁgure the Target STBs

with the Zone 3 Installer Menu and TV Setup Menu proﬁles Learned from the Master STB, you must set the

TV Zone # accordingly in the Target STBs before transferring (Teaching) the Master STB Setup. See “Set

the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” on the following page. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on

pages 42 to 47 for additional information on the cloning processes. TV Zone 0 is the default TV Zone #.

Wi-Fi Zoning Feature

The Wi-Fi Zoning feature enables you to use a TLX ﬁle to conﬁgure an individual STB or group of STBs

with a particular Wi-Fi access point’s login data to create “Wi-Fi Zones” within the installation environment.

Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with FTG Mode Conﬁguration

The FTG File Manager may be used to create an FTG Conﬁguration (.tlx) ﬁle with an FTG Installer Menu

proﬁle that contains login data for multiple Wi-Fi access points, each assigned a Wi-Fi Zone #. Up to 100

Wi-Fi Zones can be designated within each FTG Installer Menu proﬁle, thus allowing for distribution of the

Wi-Fi network load. For example, if a site has 50 STB-3000s within close proximity, you may wish to create

10 Wi-Fi Zones, each with its own access point that has unique login data, so that no more than ﬁve of the

STBs are connected to one access point at any given time.

In order for an STB to be conﬁgured by the proper Installer Menu proﬁle with the desired Wi-Fi access point

# and the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB (see “Set the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” on the following

page for further information). If the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB is set to 0 (default), the STB will not obtain

access point login data from the Installer Menu proﬁle with which it is conﬁgured unless the proﬁle contains

the global Wi-Fi Zone 100. Similarly, any STB that does not ﬁnd its matching Wi-Fi Zone # in the TLX ﬁle, but

that does ﬁnd the global Wi-Fi Zone 100, will be conﬁgured with the global access point login data.

Refer to the Free-To-Guest (FTG) File Manager User Guide for further information on deﬁning Wi-Fi

Zones in the FTG File Manager.

Using the Wi-Fi Zoning Feature with Cloning Conﬁguration

A location-speciﬁc Wi-Fi conﬁguration / .tlx ﬁle may be saved (Learned) from an individual STB as part of a

Master STB Setup and then be used during Teaching. First, the wireless network (i.e., the access point login

data) must be conﬁgured in the Master STB’s IP Environment Menu (see “Conﬁguring a Wi-Fi Network

Connection” on page 58). Then, a Wi-Fi Zone # must be set in the Master STB (see “Set the TV Zone #

and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” below). If desired, a TV Zone # may also be set in the Master STB.

For example, if the Wi-Fi Zone # is set to 4 and the TV Zone # is set to 5 before Learning is initiated, after

Learning is completed, the Master STB’s Installer Menu proﬁle will be saved with the Zone 5 assignment,

and within that Installer Menu proﬁle, the access point login data for wireless networking (i.e., SSID, security

type, and security key) will be saved with a Wi-Fi Zone 4 assignment. In order to conﬁgure the Target STBs

with the proper Installer Menu proﬁle and access point login data, you must set both the TV Zone # and the

Wi-Fi Zone # in the Target STBs accordingly before transferring (Teaching) the Master STB Setup. See “Set

the TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB” below. Also, see “Cloning Procedures” on pages 42 to 47 for

additional information on the cloning processes. If the Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB is set to 0 (default), the STB

Reference: Using Media Share Features

When the appropriate Media Share options are enabled in the IP Environment / Media Share Menu (see

“Accessing the IP Environment Menu” and “Media Share Setup” on pages 54 and 60, as necessary), guests

have the ability to use one or more of the following Media Share features:

• Smart Share: Allows guests to use the STB/display panel to access and view media ﬁles (photos, videos,

music, etc.) shared either by wired DLNA Certiﬁed devices (the devices must be connected to the same

LAN as the STB) or by wireless LG devices using LG’s Smart Share application with Wi-Fi Direct.

• Screen Share: Allows guests to select a Miracast or WiDi capable device, whose screen can be displayed

on the display panel screen.

• SoftAP: Allows guests to use the STB as a 2.4 GHz wireless access point for up to ﬁve devices.

This section provides an overview of the Smart Share, Screen Share, and SoftAP functionality.

Note: Typically, only one Media Share feature may be used at a time. If one feature is currently in use,

you may have to turn it OFF in order to turn ON another. In some cases, you will be prompted to conﬁrm

your action. Follow the display prompts as necessary.

Smart Share

The following steps describe how to access and use the Smart Share feature, either with wired DLNA

Certiﬁed devices on the same LAN as the STB or using wireless LG devices/Wi-Fi Direct. If you intend

to connect to an LG device using Wi-Fi Direct, remember that you must also turn ON Wi-Fi Direct and

launch the Smart Share application on the LG device.

1. Turn ON the STB/display panel.

The next step depends on whether you need to turn ON Wi-Fi Direct (i.e., to connect to a wireless LG

device):

• If you do not need to turn ON Wi-Fi Direct, you can proceed directly to step 7.

• Otherwise, press MENU on the Installer Remote to display the STB menus (either the setup menus or

the Function Menu depending on whether the STB is or is not in Pass-through Mode). Then, continue

with step 2.

The STB Installer Remote must now be programmed to match the

FEATURE LEVEL setting. That is, if item 020 is set to 17 for Bed 2,

the STB Installer Remote must also be set to Bed 2.

Note: In its default state, the STB Installer Remote uses the standard

LG Installer Remote IR code scheme.

2. On the STB Installer Remote, press and hold OK along with the

desired (bed) number key.

The TV LED at the top left of the remote will light for three seconds

and then turn OFF.
