Replacing the Lamp

The Cineos TV uses a lamp with a limited lifetime to illuminate the picture. A Lifetime counter in the TV records the operating time of the lamp. One hundred hours before the lamp reaches the end of its life, a warning message will appear on screen. This will allow you to prepare to replace the lamp or take action right away. The message will dis- appear within 6 seconds. It will reappear each time the TV is turned on until the lamp is replaced.

To order a replacement lamp, call the Philips Customer Care Center at

1-800-531-0039. A Philips associate will be happy to assist you. The part number for the Philips TV replacement lamp is 3122 438 71310.

Here are the steps for replacing the lamp:

1 Power off the TV. Unplug the TV.

2 The lamp door is located on the back of the TV next to the power cord. Gently slide the door completely to the right to open.

CAUTION: The lamp gets extremely hot. Allow a cool-down time before removing the lamp.

3 Unscrew the thumb screws until they are dangling.

4 Lift the handle out.
