Specific precautions for DLP™ TV sets
What is DLP™ technology?
You have just bought a TV set equipped with DLP™ (Digital Light Processing) technology.This new technology uses a special lamp, a colour wheel and an optical
To ensure that you can enjoy your TV set’s unparalleled operation for as long as possible, you should observe the following precautions.
Switching your TV set on and off
As with all projection devices, your TV set contains a special lamp which must heat up and cool down in the proper manner to ensure its optimum operation for as long as possible.To prolong the life of the lamp, you must observe the required heating up and cooling down times.
To switch the TV set on, press the on/off button under the front panel of the set.The picture takes up to 40 seconds to display. If no picture is displayed after 2 minutes, it is possible that the lamp needs to be replaced (see further below).
To put the TV set in standby mode, press the 
button on the remote control.When the set is in standby mode,the indicator on the front is red.
To switch off the TV set, press the A button under the front panel of the set.
The fan continues to run for about another two minutes to cool the lamp down.
Important: NEVER unplug the set when the fan is running.
Replacing the lamp
The lamp supplied with the TV set has a lamp life of a few thousand hours in normal operating conditions.
If you notice the following changes:
-The time the TV set takes to come on gets noticeably longer.
-The picture’s brightness decreases.
- When you switch the set on, there is sound and you can | EN |
change channels, but no picture is displayed and the indicator |
|
on the front starts flashing red.This occurs several times. |
|
This means that the lamp’s power is running down. You then need |
|
to buy a new one. |
|
When you switch the TV set on, if no picture is displayed after 2 |
|
minutes, the lamp needs to be replaced. |
|
Choose the exact same type and follow the |
|
instructions provided in the “Lamp replacement |
|
instructions” leaflet (the right lamp type is indicated in the |
|
help text for the Lamp brightness option in the Lamp & |
|
Position menu, see page 14). |
|
Important:
-NEVER touch the lamp with your fingers because any grease deposits left on it can reduce the lamp’s life. Always use some kind of cloth to handle the lamp (gloves, duster, etc.).
-Even after the fan has stopped, the lamp’s temperature still remains very hot for about 60 minutes and can cause burns.
Moving the TV set
To avoid any damage to the lamp, you should not move the TV set while the lamp is still hot.Wait until the fan stops before moving it.
