How to Replace the Lamp
Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel
unsure about replacing the lamp yourself, call a service technician. Please observe all
safety warnings.
1) Turn off the television.
Press the POWER button to turn off the television. Wait until the picture has closed and the
LAMP LED on the front panel has stopped blinking indicating the lamp cool down is complete.
Warning: The cool-down process cools the lamp from its operating temperature. This
does not mean that the lamp will now be cool enough to handle safely. We strongly
recommend you wait at least one hour before proceeding.
2) Unplug the television.
Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Make sure that the LAMP LED light has stopped
blinking before you unplug the set. Never attempt to replace the lamp with the television
plugged in.
3) Remove the lamp cover.
The lamp is located behind the lamp cover below the left side
of the television. To access the lamp you will need to remove
the lamp cover. First, remove the screw located on the lamp
cover using a Phillips head type screwdriver (cross-head type).
Once the screw has been removed, gently pull it towards you
and the panel will come away from the television. Set it aside.
DO NOT attempt to remove the assembly until the lamp has fully cooled. If you feel any heat
near the lamp, STOP and wait until the lamp has FULLY COOLED.
NEVER attempt to remove the lamp with the television plugged into an outlet.
DO NOT DROP the used lamp. The inside of the lamp is under pressure. Dropping or other
hard shock could cause the lamp to shatter.
ALWAYS recycle the used lamp. Because the lamp contains mercury, it cannot be
thrown away with regular trash. Follow the recycling instructions included with the Lamp
Replacement Kit.
