Replacing the lamp unit

The lamp unit is sold separately. To purchase a replacement, call the Panasonic accessory department, toll free at: 1-800-332-5368. Lamp unit Part No. : TY-LA1500

Lamp unit replacement period

The lamp has a maximum life of about 5 000 hours.

• When the stipulated time is reached, “THE LAMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED,•••” will be displayed for about 5 minutes.

• The LAMP indicator lights red.

Due to the characteristics and use conditions of individual lamps, the lamp may cease to light before the stated lamp life. Influences of frequent lighting, continuous light use for over 24 hours, the number of times lit, the length of time between lightings, etc. may shorten lamp life.

(Because of this, we recommend having a replacement lamp on hand.)

Important Points to keep in mind

When replacing the lamp unit with a new one, pay attention to the following points.

Warning:

• Because the temperature of the lamp unit is elevated immediately after its use, directly touching it may cause

burns. Please allow the lamp to cool before handling or replacing the lamp unit.

Cautions for Lamp Unit Replacement:

• Handle the removed old lamp unit carefully. If handled improperly, it may have a risk of explosion.

• Wear gloves when replacing the lamp unit.

• If replacing the lamp unit becomes necessary during the operation of the TV, follow the procedure below to turn off the power and wait until the lamp unit cools completely.

1. Press the POWER button on the remote control unit to turn off the power.

2. Wait for about 1 minute until the cooling fan stops.

• The lamp cooling fan will continue to operate for about 1 minute after turning off the power. Do not

unplug the power cord from the outlet until the fan has stopped. Avoid interrupting the power line by using circuit breakers or switchable power strips.

3. After the cooling fan has stopped, Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

• Please wait more than one hour for lamp replacement.

[ If you need to replace the lamp more urgently ]

• The Projection display has a forced cooling feature. After the POWER button is turned OFF, and sometime during about the first minute of the normal cooling fan operation, press the VOL+ button on the Projection display and the button on the Remote control at same time for more than 5 seconds.
