The Cineos TV uses a lamp with a limited
lifetime to illuminate the picture. A Lifetime
counter in the TV records the operating time
of the lamp. One hundred hours before the
lamp reaches the end of its life, a warning
message will appear on screen. This will
allow you to prepare to replace the lamp or
take action right away. The message will dis-
appear within 6 seconds. It will reappear each
time the TV is turned on until the lamp is
replaced.
To order a replacement lamp, call the
Philips Customer Care Center at
1-800-531-0039. A Philips associate will
be happy to assist you. The part number
for the Philips TV replacement lamp is
3122 438 71310.
Here are the steps for replacing the lamp:
1
Power off the TV. Unplug the TV.
2
The lamp door is located on the back
of the TV next to the power cord.
Gently slide the door completely to the
right to open.
CAUTION: The lamp gets extremely
hot. Allow a cool-down time before
removing the lamp.
3
Unscrew the thumb screws until they
are dangling.
4
Lift the handle out.

A blinking orange light
in the Active Standby
Window means that the
lamp needs to be
replaced.
