Lamp unit replacement and care
When to replace the lamp unit
You should replace the lamp unit:
• if the picture darkens and/or colors fade;
• if the screen (lamp) does not light (LED indication #3,
page 125); or
• if you hear a loud noise and the picture goes black, which
may indicate a lamp rupture (LED indication #3,
page 125).
To obtain a replacement lamp unit:
The light source for this TV is a mercury lamp with internal
atmospheric pressure that increases during use. The lamp has a
limited service life that varies depending on product use and
user settings.
As is generally the case with all projection TVs that use
projection lamps as a light source, the brightness of the lamp in
this TV may vary somewhat over the expected service life and
will generally decrease over time. The average useful service life
of the lamp is approximately 8,000 hours in Low Power mode
and approximately 6,000 hours in High Bright mode. See
“Selecting the Lamp mode” on page 80 for information on
switching the lamp mode. Because these are averages, some
lamps will require earlier replacement.
Note : The lamp is warranted only for the periods and to the
extent set forth in the Limited Warranty applicable to this set,
which is a substantially shorter period of time than the average
useful service period. See “Limited United States Warranty” on
page 133.
If you use the lamp beyond its service life:
• you may notice a reduction in the colors and/or brightness of
the picture; and
• the strength of the quartz glass in the lamp will be reduced
and the lamp may rupture (often making a loud noise when
this happens). If the lamp ruptures, the TV will not operate
until the lamp unit is replaced.

ELECTRIC SHOCK!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, NEVER
REMOVE TV COVERS, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED
HEREIN. REFER ALL SERVICING NOT SPECIFIED IN
THIS MANUAL TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Failure to follow this WARNING may result in death
