in this television can vary, based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operating, and your
viewing patterns, Warmer air or poor ventilation shortens the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off
frequently,
When the end of the lamp's life is approaching, the TV displays a warning message for one minute when you power on
the TV. The message will reappear the next five times you turn on the TV. After you change the lamp cartridge, you
must reset the lamp reminder through the TV Setup menu. Otherwise, the warning message will appear again too soon.
