Lamp Replacement
Changing the Lamp
WARNING!
It is very important that you NEVER TOUCH THE GLASS SURFACE OF THE NEW
LAMP. Touching the glass surface will deposit oils from your hand onto the lamp
surface. When the lamp heats up to its operating temperature, the oil will cause a
difference in temperature on the lamp surface that will likely cause the lamp to break.
Replace the lamp with part number TS-CL110U only! The television is designed
to work specifically with this lamp. Using a different lamp, or a third-party
manufacturer’s lamp could cause a malfunction and or damage to the television.
This television uses a 110-Watt high-pressure mercury lamp to project images onto the
television screen. When the lamp nears the end of its operating life, you may notice the picture
becoming dark. When the picture begins to darken, or the lamp burns out, it is time to replace
the lamp. The following instructions will tell you how to safely replace the lamp.
WARNING!
Under operating conditions, THE LAMP WILL GET EXTREMELY HOT AND WILL
CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF TOUCHED.
Before attempting to replace the lamp, make sure the television has completely run
through its cooling cycle. Turn the power off and wait until the LAMP/PROGRAM LED
blinks very slowly and turns off completely. Unplug the TV. If you feel any warmth
as you place your hand near the lamp, DO NOT TOUCH IT. Wait until the lamp has
completely cooled before attempting to replace it. After turning the power off, wait at
least 1 hour or more.
NEVER attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged into a wall outlet.
Attempting to replace the lamp with the TV plugged in could lead to a severe electrical
shock.
Do not keep the TV on for more than 24 hours consecutively. There is the possibility
of the life of the lamp being shortened.
The life of the lamp changes depending on the atmospheric temperature and altitude
in which the TV is being used.
Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel
unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician.
