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 on the remote control or TV front panel. 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 a screw from the rear panel.
Next you must remove one screw from the rear panel. The screw is located
under the right rear panel. You will need to remove the screw with your
fingers.
4) Remove the left speaker panel.
Next you must remove the left speaker panel located at
the bottom of the front panel. To remove the panel, grab
the panel and pull the bottom away from the television,
pulling it towards you. The panel will come away from
the bottom of the TV. Set the panel aside.
Note:
• When removing the speaker panel, in order for the
speaker not to fall, hold the speaker panel securely by
the hand, pulling the set slowly in front, and remove.
5) Remove the lamp cover.
The lamp is located behind the lamp cover. To access
the lamp you will need to remove the lamp cover. First,
loosen the screw located on the lamp cover using your
fingers. Once the screw has been loosened, gently pull
the knob towards you and the panel will come away from
the television. Set it aside.
