JVC AV 61S902 WARNING!

Appendix B

The AV-61S902 uses a 200 Watt high-pressure mercury lamp to project images onto the television screen. When the

lamp nears the end of its operating life, you may notice the picture becoming dark. When the picture begins to

darken, the lamp burns out, it is time to replace the lamp. The following instructions will tell you how to safely

replace the projection lamp.

WARNING!

Under operating conditions THE LAMP WILL GET EXTREMELY HOT AND WILL CAUSE SEVERE BURNS

IF TOUCHED.

Before attempting to replace the lamp, make sure the television has run through its cooling cycle (indi-

cated by the front panel 10 LED lights) and that the television is unplugged. If you feel any warmth com-

ing from the lamp DO NOT TOUCH IT. Wait until the lamp has fully cooled before attempting to replace it.

NEVER attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged into a wall outlet. Attempting to replace

a lamp with the television plugged in could lead to a severe electrical shock.

Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel unsure about

replacing the lamp, call a service technician.

Before replacing the lamp you will need to purchase a replacement kit, part number PK-CL200U. Call 1-800-882-

2345 to order the JVC replacement kit. The replacement kit will include:

1 High-Pressure Mercury Lamp 1 Instruction Manual

1 Hex wrench

The kit will also include instructions on recycling the lamp.

Packaging, with a pre-paid shipping label for

returning the lamp to a JVC-authorized recycling center for recycling, is included with the replacement lamp. See

page 63 for recycling information.

Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. Please observe all safety warnings.

1) Turn the television off.

Press the Power button on the remote control or television’s front panel to turn the television off. Wait until the picture has

closed and the 10 LED lights on the front panel have stopped blinking indicating the lamp cool-down cycle is complete.

Warning:The cool-down cycle cools the lamp from its normal operating temperatures. This does not mean

the lamp will now be cool enough to handle safely. Wait at least one hour before proceeding.

It is very important you DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS SURFACE OF THE NEW LAMP.Touching the glass sur-

face will deposit oils from your hand onto the lamp surface.When the lamp heats up to operating temperature,

the oil will cause a difference in temperature on the lamp surface.This will likely cause the lamp to break.

Replace the lamp with part number PK-CL200U only! The television is designed to work specifically with

this lamp. Using a different lamp, or a third-party manufacturer’s lamp could cause a malfunction and/or

damage to the television.
