Ez Download Utility

The Ez Download utility, available from the STB Manager / USB Download Menu, enables you to
select multiple files at one time from the files loaded on a USB memory device. You may use this
utility to download any one or all of the following to an STB: a TLX file for configuration purposes,
an STB (CPU) software update, a PTC software update.

Before You Begin

• Ensure the USB device has been formatted with FAT format.
• Software update files must be stored in a folder named "LG_DTV" in the root directory of the USB
memory device. TLX files should simply be stored in the root directory of the USB device.
• If the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you turn ON the STB/display, you can use
the wizard's "USB Configuration" option to access the Ez Download utility (see "STB Configuration
Options" and/or "USB Configuration" on pages 18 and 24, respectively, as necessary).
• If the STB is currently in Pass-through Mode and you intend to use the Zoning feature(s) on this
STB for location-specific configuration purposes, make sure to assign the appropriate TV Zone #
and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB when directed to do so in the procedure below.
• When creating files to be downloaded, avoid using special characters (?, &, @, etc.) in filenames.
• Refer to "Custom Master STB Setup" on pages 40 to 42 for information on creating a TLX file
for cloning purposes, and/or refer to "Creating an FTG Configuration File" on pages 49 to 50 for
information on creating an FTG Configuration (.tlx) file for FTG Mode configuration.
• See Reference section, "Updating STB Software using a USB Memory Device," for further
information on software updates.
Caution: Do not unplug the STB power cord or remove the USB memory device
during a data download, as doing so may cause the STB to malfunction or harm the
USB device, respectively.

Accessing and Using the Ez Download Utility

1. If it is not ON already, turn ON the STB/display panel.
2. The next step depends on whether the EZ-Manager Wizard appears on the screen when you
turn ON the STB/display:
• If the wizard is displayed, you can access the Ez Download utility via the wizard, as indicated
above (see "Before You Begin"). However, to continue with this procedure and access the Ez
Download utility from the STB menus, exit the EZ-Manager Wizard. Then, continue with step 3.
• If the wizard is not displayed, go directly to step 3.
3. If the STB is currently in Pass-through Mode, you would like to transfer (Teach) a TLX file to the
STB via the Ez Download utility, and you intend to use one or both of the STB's Zoning feature(s),
assign the appropriate TV Zone # and/or Wi-Fi Zone # in the STB at this time. See Reference
section, "Using the STB's Zoning Features," for further information.
Note: In order for the proper location-specific TV Zone and/or Wi-Fi Zone profile
data to be applied, the Zone designation(s) must be assigned in the Target STB(s)
BEFORE you continue with the Ez Download utility.
4. Insert the USB memory device with the appropriate file(s) into either of the STB's USB ports.
