Stb-3500 Cabling Connections; Before You Begin; Connect The Stb To The Display Panel - LG STB-3500 Setup Manual

This section describes how to connect the STB-3500 to establish communication with a compatible
commercial display panel (LG Hospitality TV, LG Public Display TV, LG Commercial Monitor, or
commercial non-LG TV with MTI support).

Before You Begin

Refer to the appropriate subsection(s) below before proceeding to connect the STB. In particular,
make sure each display panel is in the proper, known state.
LG Display Panel Prerequisites
• 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 (see also bullet below).
• If you are using the STB with a commercial LG display panel that supports the Data Channel
Auto Search feature (for example, LT777H, LP870H, etc.), set Installer Menu item 119 DATA
CHANNEL on the display panel to 0 before connecting the STB.
• For newer LG Public Display TVs, when you power ON the TV for the first time, a Welcome
Wizard will be displayed, and you will need to complete the first two steps of the wizard before
you can successfully connect the STB. First, you will need to select the Language (Step 1), and
then you will need to select the Mode Setting (Step 2). For Step 2, you MUST select "Home
Use." After this, you can either continue with the wizard and select additional desired configuration
settings, or you can use the EXIT key on the remote to exit the wizard.
Commercial Non-LG Display Panel Prerequisites
• The display panel must be in a known state; however, note that you may need to perform initial
steps to configure the display (i.e., the TV) and/or its MTI port for MTI communication. Refer to
the manufacturer's documentation for further information.
• It is highly recommended that you set the display's start channel/Power On source to HDMI1
since the STB default configuration automatically sends Television/Display Control commands to
switch the connected display panel to its HDMI1 input. Because some non-LG displays default
to an RF channel at turn ON (or at loss of communication), setting the Power On source to
HDMI1 will eliminate the potential for momentary signal interruption from the STB each time the
STB/display is turned ON. This will also eliminate the potential for temporary signal interruption
from the STB when the STB's PTC is being updated.
LG Installer Remote
• An LG Installer Remote (not supplied) is required to complete the procedure below, as well as
STB/display panel configuration procedures in this document. If you are connecting the STB to an
LG display panel, the LG remote provided with the display should be sufficient. However, if you
are connecting the STB to a non-LG display panel 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.
