When the lamp becomes dark or the picture colour is
not normal or the lamp indicator on the TV set
flashes, replace with a new lamp.
• Only use the lamp XL-2000E for replacement. If you
use another lamp, it may cause damage to the TV set.
• Do not remove the lamp except when replacing it.
• Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and
disconnect the power cord.
• Replace the lamp only after it becomes cool. The front
glass of the lamp remains at least 100 °C (212 °F) even
after the power has been turned off for 30 minutes.
• Do not place the old lamp in proximity to children or
flammable material.
• Do not get the old lamp wet, or insert objects inside
the lamp. It may cause the lamp to explode.
• Do not place the old lamp near easily flammable
objects, as this may cause fire. Also, do not put your
hand inside the lamp compartment, as you may be
burned.
• Attach the new lamp securely. If it is not securely
attached, the picture may become dark.
1 Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
• If you start changing the lamp without disconnecting
the power cord, the standby indicator
