How do I restore the factory defaults on my LG 42LY560M?
There are different methods to restore factory defaults depending on the TV’s current mode.
If the TV is in Pass-through Mode:
• You can set Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT to 1. 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 will also reset the TV to Pass-through Mode.
• Factory “IN-STOP”: A predefined value for Installer Menu item 117 FACT DEFAULT can initiate a factory “IN-STOP” process that restores all factory defaults and reactivates the Express Script Installer Menu Wizard. Contact technical support for the required value.
• Using a “Zero Mapped Channels” file: You can create an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file with no channel data. “Teaching” this file to the TV will restore it to Pass-through Mode.
– This can be done locally by transferring the file from a USB memory device.
– If your system uses a Pro:Centric server, you can load the file on the server for remote management.
How do I use the TV Zoning feature on my LG 42LY560M?
The TV Zoning feature allows you to create localized configurations for TVs in different areas (“Zones”). This is primarily used in FTG Mode but can also be used for cloning with a TLX file. To use this feature, you must set the Zone number in the TV itself.
Set the TV Zone # in the TV (must be in Pass-through Mode):
1. Turn ON the TV.
2. Press MENU on the Installer Remote, use the arrow navigation 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 Zone pop-up window, use the Left/Right arrow keys to select the desired TV Zone # (1-8) for this TV. Then, press OK.
5. Press MENU to return to TV viewing.
Once the Zone is set, the TV will only accept configuration profiles (from an FTG or TLX file) that match its assigned Zone number. It will also omit any channels that have been restricted for its Zone in the FTG Channel Map.
What are the functions of the ports on the rear and side jack panels of the LG 42LY560M?

How do I navigate USB media on my LG 42LY560M with a Pro:Centric Pillow Speaker?
The Pro:Centric pillow speaker allows users to navigate and play/view USB media files.
1. Insert the USB memory device into the TV’s USB port. The Media Menu (Movie List, Photo List, Music List) will be displayed on the TV screen.
2. Use the arrow keys on the pillow speaker to highlight the desired menu option (e.g., Photo List), and then press Enter.
3. Within a media directory:
• Use the arrow keys to navigate between folders or files, and press Enter to open or play a selection.
• If there are multiple pages of content, use Channel Up/Down to move between pages.
• Additional options are listed at the bottom of the display, corresponding to number buttons on the pillow speaker (e.g., to change directories, mark files, etc.).
• To exit the Media Menu from within a directory, press 0 on the pillow speaker. To redisplay the menu, you must physically remove and reinsert the USB device.
• To exit the media playback or directory view entirely, press 0 or Return on the pillow speaker.
What should I do if I cannot direct enter a channel number on my LG 42LY560M?
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: This is likely because the channel lineup is locked (Installer Menu item 028 CH. OVERIDE is set to 0, or Channel Access was denied in the Express Script). In this case, only channels active in the lineup can be selected. To allow direct entry to all channels, set Installer Menu item 028 CH. OVERIDE to 1.
• If the TV is in FTG Mode: Channel access is restricted to channels included in the FTG Channel Map. If a channel is not in the map, it cannot be tuned. If necessary, you must use the FTG File Manager software to make changes to the FTG Channel Map.
Why are there no channels present after setup on my LG 42LY560M?
This is typically because the Auto Tuning (Channel Search) was not run. Auto Tuning must be run in order for the channel lineup to be populated. 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, you may need to perform an “IN-STOP” to restore factory defaults on the TV to reactivate the Express Script.
How can I troubleshoot picture and sound issues on the LG 42LY560M?
If there is no picture:
• Possible Cause: TV is turned OFF. Solution: Turn the TV ON or check for a power failure.
• Possible Cause: Antenna/cable not connected. Solution: Connect the antenna/cable signal to the TV.
• Possible Cause: Connections incorrect. Solution: Check all connections on the TV.
• Possible Cause: MPI not connected. Solution: If applicable, connect the MPI cable to the MPI device.
• Possible Cause: Encrypted program. Solution: Try another channel.
If there is a normal picture but poor or no sound:
• Possible Cause: Wrong tuning band. Solution: Adjust Installer Menu settings.
• Possible Cause: Broadcast problem. Solution: Try a different channel.
• Possible Cause: Audio muted. Solution: Press MUTE or use the Volume Up key to increase the sound level.
• Possible Cause: Pillow/TV speaker not configured properly. Solution: Check that Installer Menu items 020 FEATURE LEVEL and 027 HOSPITAL MODE are set as required. If applicable, select TV Speaker in the Audio Menu.
What should I do if the installer remote doesn’t work with my LG 42LY560M?
If your installer remote is not working, try the following solutions:
• Remote not in TV Mode: Depending on the remote used, you may need to press a MODE key to put the remote into TV Mode.
• Not aimed at IR sensor: Point the remote directly at the TV’s IR receiver.
• Too far from IR sensor: Move the remote closer to the TV’s IR receiver or darken the room.
• IR path obstructed: Remove any obstructions between the remote and the TV.
• Weak batteries: Replace the batteries.
• Wrong battery polarity: Check that the “+” and “-” symbols match in the battery compartment.
• Too much light in the room: Dim the room light.
• Remote IR codes do not match TV setting: Ensure the Installer Remote is compatible. Check the settings in both the TV and on the remote. The IR codes sent by the remote must match the setting(s) in the TV.

How can I troubleshoot issues with Channel Banks Setup on my LG 42LY560M?
Here are common issues and solutions for Channel Banks setup:
Symptom: Cannot change channel status in the menu.
Possible Cause: Channel Access was denied in Express Script and/or Installer Menu item 028 CH. OVERIDE is set to 0.
Solution: Set CH. OVERIDE to 1 to allow access for channel status change.
Symptom: Channel Preview/Banks Setup Menu does not appear.
Possible Cause: Express Script wizard or the 2-5-5 + MENU command (Custom Master TV Setup) was not completed.
Solution: The menu will not be available until the TV setup is transferred to the PTC. Also, ensure Installer Menu item 028 CH. OVERIDE is set to 1.
Symptom: “Inactive TV” message appears and then TV turns OFF.
Possible Cause: The TV is set up to display the “Inactive TV” message because all channels are “NORMAL-DELETED” in Channel Bank 4.
Solution: Select another channel bank (1, 2, or 3) to return the TV to normal operation.
Symptom: When BANK on Installer Remote is pressed, TV shows Input List Menu.
Possible Cause: Installer Menu item 027 HOSPITAL MODE is set to 0.
Solution: Set item 027 to the appropriate setting for channel banks to appear with BANK key presses.
