What are the important safety instructions for using the LG 28LY560M TV?
To ensure safe operation of your LG 28LY560M TV, please follow these instructions:
Installation & Environment:
• Do not use this apparatus near water and clean only with a dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat.
• When mounting the TV on a wall, make sure not to install the TV by hanging power and signal cables on the back of the TV.
• Install the TV where there is proper ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do not cover the TV with cloth or other materials while it is plugged in. Do not install in excessively dusty places.
• An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric circuits.
Power & Connections:
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
• It is recommended that the TV be placed on a dedicated circuit, which is a single outlet circuit that powers only the TV and has no additional outlets or branch circuits.
• 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.
• Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to prevent possible electric shock. A TV with a three-prong grounded AC plug must be connected to a three-prong grounded AC outlet.
Operation & Handling:
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. Use caution when moving a cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a thunder or lightning storm.
• Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall into the product, and do not drop objects onto the screen.

How do I restore my LG 28LY560M TV to factory defaults?
There are several ways to restore factory defaults, depending on the TV’s current mode.
If the TV is in Pass-through Mode:
• Use Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT. Access the Installer Menu, navigate to item 117, set the value to 1, and press OK. This restores the Installer Menu factory defaults and clears the channel lineup, including any assigned channel icons and custom text labels.
If the TV is in FTG Mode:
Restoring factory defaults in FTG Mode also resets the TV to Pass-through Mode.
• Factory “IN-STOP”: This process uses a predefined value for Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT to restore the TV to Pass-through Mode and restore all factory defaults. It also reactivates the Express Script Installer Menu Wizard. You must contact technical support for the required value and instructions.
• Using a “Zero Mapped Channels” File (Single TV):
1. Create a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Configuration (.tlx) file using the FTG File Manager. This is an FTG file with no channel data.
2. Using a USB memory device, “Teach” this file to the TV. This will restore the TV to Pass-through Mode.
• Using a “Zero Mapped Channels” File (Multiple TVs via Pro:Centric Server):
1. Create a “Zero Mapped Channels” FTG Configuration (.tlx) file.
2. Use the Pro:Centric server Admin Client to load this file onto the server, which will then push the configuration to the connected TVs, restoring them to Pass-through Mode.
How do I use the TV Zoning feature on the LG 28LY560M?
The TV Zoning feature allows you to create localized configurations for TVs in different “Zones” (e.g., lobby, fitness center). This is primarily used with FTG Mode but can also be used with TLX cloning. To use this feature, you must set a Zone number on the TV itself.
Set the TV Zone # in the TV (Pass-through Mode Only):
1. Turn ON the TV.
2. Press MENU on the Installer Remote, use the arrow keys to highlight the OPTION menu icon, and press OK.
3. Use the Up/Down arrows to select Zone, and then press OK.
4. In the pop-up window, use the Left/Right arrow keys to select the desired TV Zone number (1-8). Zone 0 is the default.
5. Press OK to confirm.
6. Press MENU to return to TV viewing.
Once the TV is assigned to a Zone, it will only accept configurations (from an FTG .tlx file or a cloning .tlx file) that are also assigned to that same Zone number. If an FTG configuration includes a channel map with Zone-restricted channels, the TV will omit any channels that are restricted from its assigned Zone.
What should I do if I cannot direct enter a channel number on my LG 28LY560M TV?
If you cannot direct enter a channel number, the cause depends on the TV’s operating mode:
• If the TV is in Pass-through Mode: The channel lineup is likely locked. This can be because Installer Menu item 028 CH. OVERIDE is set to 0, or because “Channel Access” was denied during the Express Script setup. To fix this, access the Installer Menu and set item 028 CH. OVERIDE to 1 to allow direct keypad entry to all channels.
• If the TV is in FTG Mode: The channel number you are trying to enter is not included in the FTG Channel Map. Channel access is restricted to only those channels defined in the map. If necessary, you must use the FTG File Manager PC software to make changes to the FTG Channel Map and then re-load it onto the TV.
Why are there no channels present after setting up my LG 28LY560M TV?
This typically happens because the Auto Tuning (Channel Search) process was not run. Auto Tuning must be run to populate the channel lineup. If you used the Express Script wizard, you must select “Execute Auto Search” in the Auto Search screen to run the scan. If the wizard has already been completed or exited, you may need to perform an “IN-STOP” to restore factory defaults on the TV to reactivate the Express Script.
What should I do if my LG 28LY560M TV has no picture?
If there is no picture, check the following:
• Power: Ensure the TV is turned ON. Check if there is a power failure.
• Connections: Make sure the antenna/cable signal is securely connected to the TV. Check all other connections.
• Encrypted Program: The channel may be encrypted. Try another channel.
Why is there normal picture but poor or no sound on my LG 28LY560M TV?
If you have a picture but sound issues, try these solutions:
• Mute: Press the MUTE button or use the Volume Up key to increase the sound level.
• Broadcast Issue: The problem might be with the broadcast itself. Try a different channel.
• Speaker Configuration: The pillow or TV speakers may not be configured properly. Check that Installer Menu items 020 FEATURE LEVEL and 027 HOSPITAL MODE are set as required. If applicable, ensure the correct TV Speaker option is selected in the Audio Menu.
Why isn’t the Installer Remote working with my LG 28LY560M TV?
If your Installer Remote doesn’t work, check these possible causes and solutions:
• Aim: Point the remote directly at the TV’s IR receiver.
• Distance/Light: Move closer to the TV or dim the room light, as too much light can interfere with the signal.
• Obstructions: Remove any objects blocking the path between the remote and the TV’s IR receiver.
• Batteries: The batteries may be weak; replace them. Ensure the “+” and “-” terminals match the diagram in the battery compartment.
• IR Code Mismatch: The IR codes sent by the remote must match the settings in the TV. Make sure the remote is compatible and that the settings in both the TV (e.g., Feature Level) and the remote are correct.
Why can’t I change the channel status in the Channel Preview/Banks Setup Menu on my LG 28LY560M?
This occurs when channel access has been restricted. This could be because “Channel Access” was denied during the Express Script setup or because Installer Menu item 028 CH. OVERIDE is set to 0. To resolve this, access the Installer Menu and set CH. OVERIDE to 1 to allow access for channel status changes.
