How to Replace the Lamp

Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician. Please observe all safety warnings.

1) Turn off the television.

Press the POWER button on the remote control or TV front panel. Wait until the picture has closed and the LAMP LED on the front panel has stopped blinking indicating the lamp cool down is complete.

Warning: The cool-down process cools the lamp from its operating temperature. This does not mean that the lamp will now be cool enough to handle safely. We strongly recommend you wait at least one hour before proceeding.

2) Unplug the television.

Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Make sure that the LAMP LED light has stopped blinking before you unplug the set. Never attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged in.

3) Remove a screw from the rear panel.

Next you must remove one screw from the rear panel. The screw is located under the right rear panel. You will need to remove the screw with your fingers.

4) Remove the left speaker panel.

Next you must remove the left speaker panel located at the bottom of the front panel. To remove the panel, grab the panel and pull the bottom away from the television, pulling it towards you. The panel will come away from the bottom of the TV. Set the panel aside.

Note:

• When removing the speaker panel, in order for the speaker not to fall, hold the speaker panel securely by the hand, pulling the set slowly in front, and remove.

5) Remove the lamp cover.

The lamp is located behind the lamp cover. To access the lamp you will need to remove the lamp cover. First, loosen the screw located on the lamp cover using your fingers. Once the screw has been loosened, gently pull the knob towards you and the panel will come away from the television. Set it aside.
