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.
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 the lamp cover.
The lamp is located behind the lamp cover on the left side of the
television. 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.
4 Remove the lamp unit.
Using a Philips head type screwdriver (cross-head type), loosen
the two screws fastening the lamp unit. When the screws have
been loosened, remove the lamp by raising the handle and gently
sliding the unit straight towards you. Place it carefully in the
recycling packaging.
5 Install the new lamp unit.
Holding the handle attached to the new lamp unit, slide and push
the new lamp straight into the television and back into the lamp
housing area. Do not forget to re-tighten the two screws.
• Do not touch the lamp surface. Fingerprint or other stains may
cause the unit to brake.
• If the lamp does not sit securely in the TV (flat in the lamp
housing area), it won’t turn on. Make sure the lamp sits
securely and flat in the housing area.
6 Re-install the lamp cover.
Insert the lamp cover in the rigit concaves and close the lamp
cover. Because the lamp cover has a role to help prevent the
danger of an electrical shock, tighten the screw using your fingers.
LAMP TIMER RESET
The lamp replacement message will appear when you need to change
the lamp. After you replace the lamp, you need to reset the timer
which is built into your television.
1 Choose LAMP TIMER RESET in the SET UP menu, then
press the a or 3 button (see page 14)
The following message will appear.
2 Press a button while the above message appears on
the television screen
The lamp timer has now been reset and the following message will
blink.
• You can use the LAMP TIMER RESET only after replacing
the lamp.
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.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove the assembly
until the lamp has fully cooled. If you feel any heat near
the lamp, STOP and wait until the lamp has FULLY
COOLED.
NEVER attempt to remove the lamp with the television
plugged into an outlet.
DO NOT DROP the used lamp. The inside of the lamp is
under pressure. Dropping or other hard shocks could
cause the lamp to shatter.
ALWAYS recycle the used lamp. Because the lamp
contains a small amount of mercury, it cannot be thrown
away with regular trash. Follow the recycling
instructions included with the Lamp Replacement Kit.
PRESS OK TO RESET THE LAMP TIMER.
THE LAMP TIMER IS RESET SUCCESSFULLY.
