2) Unplug the television.
Disconnect the television’s power cord from the AC outlet. Make sure the 10 LED lights have stopped blinking
before you unplug the television. Never attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged in.
3) Remove the left speaker panel.
The next step is to remove the left speaker panel located at the bottom of the front of the television cabinet. The
top of the speaker panels are held with Velcro. Make sure the television is unplugged (see steps 1 and 2)
before removing the speaker panel.
To remove the panel
- Grab the panel from the side near the top. Gently pull the top away from the television.
When the top part of the speaker panel is fully away from the television, lift up. The panel will come away from the
bottom of the television. Set the panel aside.
4) Remove the filter cover.
The lamp is located behind the air filter unit. To access the lamp you will need to remove this filter unit and the fil-
ter cover. To remove this filter cover you will need a Phillips head screwdriver. First loosen the screws located at
the four corners of the panel. Once the screws have been loosened, slide the cover up until the large holes align
with the screw heads. Gently pull the panel away from the television and set aside. (Please see Appendix A for
illustrations for removing the speaker panel and filter covers).
5) Removing the filter unit.
Next you will need to remove the filter unit. To remove the filter unit, use a
something like a coin to loosen the three large-slotted screws fastening the
filter unit. When the screws have been loosened, slide the filter unit
out to remove it.
• Do not touch the surface of the filter or try to remove it from the filter unit.
These actions could damage the filter. If the filter is damaged, call a serv
ice technician to replace the filter.

other hard shock could cause the lamp to shatter.

ry it cannot be thrown out with regular trash. Follow the recycling instructions includ-
ed with the replacement lamp.
