Hitachi UX21511 / LC37, UX21513 / LM500, UX21517 / LC57, UX21518 / LP520 How To Guide Replacement DLP TV Lamp Guide

NORMAL DISCLAIMER:
— Do NOT purchase generic brand lamps such as LTI, APO or third-party manufacturers such as OSRAM. These lamps were NOT engineered with and for your TV…only your Philips lamp has been engineered to work flawlessly and output the best possible color. Above that, it just doesn’t make sense to choose an aftermarket lamp for a $5-$10 difference (and in many cases they are more expensive!!). Be a smart consumer and do your research!

Here is the Hitachi Lamp Enclosure (enclosures UX21511 / LC37, UX21513 / LM500, UX21517 / LC57, UX21518 / LP520), remember you can click on any image to enlarge!

	This is the back of the lamp, after you've removed it from the television.			Here is the face of the lamp.
	Start by removing the metal case by unscrewing it from the plastic housing.			Gently tug on it and pull it apart.
	The lamp should now be exposed.			Use your Philips driver to remove the screws holding the lamp in place.
	You should be able to free the metal piece that was holding the lamp in place.			Remove the screw holding the ballast wires from the terminal on the side.
	Using your needle nose pliers, you can now remove the wire from the back of the lamp.
	The lamp should be completely free.			Grab your replacement part--making sure it's a Philips brand.
	The lamp will go back in the same way it came out.			Be sure you didn't lose any of those screws!
				Put the metal gaurd back on the lamp to keep it in place.
				Place the ballast wires back onto the lamp.
	Screw the nuts back on the terminals.			Start by hand tighting the screws. Make sure it's snug, but don't give it too much torque!
	Drive the screw onto the side terminal--do not over tighten!			Place metal the cover back on.
	The metal cover should fit in nice and snug.
	It should snap into place if you've done everything correctly.
	Screw the metal case back onto plastic enclosure.			You can simply hand-tighten the screws.
	You're done!

IMPORTANT: The bulb should be handled with a clean cloth at all times to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…this is a no-no for these lamps. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp…
