Other Key Features of owning an RCA Scenium HDTV

Lamp Replacement

DLP technology uses a special lamp. Eventually, you’ll need to replace this lamp. To order the correct lamp, you’ll need to know your TV’s model number, serial number, and lamp type—this information is listed on the Service Model Number sticker (example of the sticker is shown at right). The sticker is located on the right side of the TV. For quick reference, write down the information in the space provided at the right.

How DLP™ Works

In general, DLP™ combines microscopic mirrors, a specially designed semiconductor, and a color wheel to adjust light to display the most brilliant, accurate images! Your DLP™ HDTV doesn’t use Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs), which means you don’t have to worry about screen burn (fixed video images burning onto the screen permanently) or convergence (realigning the CRTs). The diagram on the left illustrates the complex system.

Thin and Light

The efficiency of DLP™ technology enabled our design team to create a high-performance HDTV that is about 16 inches thin and weighs less than 100 pounds.
