Lamp unit replacement
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 user settings. 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.
Note: The lamp unit is designed so broken lamp glass
remains securely inside the lamp unit.
When to replace the lamp unit
You should replace the lamp unit:
• if the picture darkens and/or colors fade;
• if the lamp does not light; or
• if you hear a loud noise and the picture goes black, which may
indicate a lamp rupture.
One replacement lamp unit is included in the original packing
material for the TV. To obtain additional replacement lamp units:
• In the U.S., contact your local Toshiba dealer.
• In Canada, locate a Toshiba parts distributor by directing your web
browser to www.toshiba.ca; click “Home Entertainment,” and then
click “Support.”
Use the replacement lamp unit model listed below only. Using any
other lamp may result in failure.
