a.Insert the catch tabs (also called latches) into the slots on the left side of the lamp access compartment first. Then put the rest of the door in place by rotating the door until it is fully closed and the latches are engaged.

16.Plug the power cord into the back of the TV first and then back into the wall outlet strip.
17. Turn on the TV.
18.After the TV warms up (up to 60 seconds), you should see a picture. If you don’t see a picture, check the following:
•Make sure TV is plugged in.
•Make sure you’ve tuned the TV to a valid channel.
•Try turning on the TV both ways: with the remote control, and then with the power button on the front of the TV.
•Make sure the lamp unit access door is properly and completely closed.
•Make sure the screws are completely tightened.
•Unplug the power cord from the TV and from the power outlet. Return to step 7 and make sure the lamp unit is fully seated in the housing.
•If the TV still doesn’t come on, you need to have the unit professionally serviced. See your warranty.
