Replacing the Lamp

Why do I need to replace the lamp?

The lamp used in a DLP TV has a limited lifespan. For the best screen quality it needs to be replaced periodically. After replacing the lamp, the screen quality will be bright and clear as new.

When do I need to replace it?

It should be replaced when the screen becomes darker, less clear or when all three LEDs on the front (TIMER, LAMP, & STAND BY/TEMP) are flashing.

Check before lamp replacement

1.The lamp must be the same code number and type.

2.The lamp type is indicated on the side of the TV. It is also indicated on the lamp case.

3.After checking the code number for the lamp, give the code number to the store where you purchased the TV or to a Samsung Service center.

Caution

1.Replace with the correct code numbered lamp to avoid damage to the TV.

2.Turn the power off and wait for 30 minutes before replacing the lamp as it will be hot.

3.Do not touch the glass part of the lamp with your bare hands and do not insert any foreign object inside the cover as it may cause poor screen quality, electric shock or fire.

4.Do not place the old lamp near flammable objects or within the reach of children.
