Appendix
Lamp unit replacement
[User-replaceable component)
The light source for this TV is a mercu U 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 will all projection TV's 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 for the lamp is
approximately [8,000] hours in "LOW POWER" mode or [6,000]
hours in "HI BRIGHT" mode. See "Selecting the Lamp mode" on
page 46 for information on switching the lamp mode. Because these
are averages, some lamps will require earlier replacement.
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
irrsidetire/arTTp unit.
