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! Discount-Merchant.com promises to be the low price leader in all Projection TV Lamps they carry…if this is not true, let us know and we’ll fix it!

Necessities:

1. A Torx T9 screwdriver
2. A Phillips screwdriver
3. A Pair of Pliers
4. A new Philips Lamp
5. 15 minutes of your time

NOTE: The bulb should be handled with a clean lint-free cloth at all times to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…The oil residue from our hands can cause premature failure of the lamp if the front side of the lamp is not wiped down after the installation. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp…

	Check the lamp part number.			You will need a few tools as listed above.
	Examine how the lamp fits into the housing.
	We start by unscrewing the connector wiring…			First we remove the screw and then the nut (or vise versa)...
	Be sure to keep the screws in a safe place. You'll need them later.			Here we removed the nut last.
	Carefully detatch the wires.
	Now we need to remove the two T9 Torx screws holding the lamp cradle to the housing...			This makes it easier to take apart the lamp...
	Now we remove the T9 Torx screws to remove the vent filters and release the lamp..			There are four of those screws in all.
				Now we pull the lamp out and reverse the steps to put the new lamp back in...
	Remember not to mix up the good bulb and the bad bulb...			Sometimes it is very hard to tell the difference between a bad lamp and a good lamp.
	If you get mixed up you will have to physically try both lamps in your TV.			We start by puting in the new lamp and re-installing the vent filters...

	Reattach the craddle to the housing.			We now re-connect the lamp terminals to the connector wire...
	NOTE: Be careful when screwing-in the side connector on to your new lamp.			It’s best to hand torque as this terminal is very sensitive and might break with a lot of torque.

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…
