Caring For the TV 101
Replacing the TV Projection Lamp
The projection lamp in your TV is designed to last approximately 10,000 hours. Lamp life
will vary depending on the mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage.
When it is time to replace the lamp, the TV displays a message on the screen.
The Lamp and Power lights on the front of the TV also indicate the status of the lamp.
You can purchase replacement lamp number ELSLP1 from your dealer or EPSON. Call
(800) 873-7766 or visit the EPSON Store at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In
Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral

page 116 to correct it. If
none of them work, you
