Lamp
The light source for this television is a
lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge
assembly. The life of the lamp can vary, based on the lamp itself, the air
temperature around the TV while it is operating, the selec ted lamp mode, and
your viewing patterns. Warmer air or poor ventilation shorten the lamp life,
as does setting
Lamp Energy
to
Bright
and turning the television on and off
frequently.
Mitsubishi warra nts the lamp for one (1) year from the date o f original
TV purchase at retail.
The lamp cartrid ge assembly is designed to be r eplaced by the TV
owner. The cost of labor for a ser vice technician to replace t he lamp
is not covered by the warran ty.
