CAUTION
BURN DANGER!
During normal operation, the surfaces inside 
the TV near the lamp are extremely hot.
TOUCH THE LAMP CARTRIDGE BY THE HANDLE ONLY
Do not touch the glass parts of the lamp cartridge.
CAUTION:  If the television is on, press POWER to turn it off.  Unplug the television and allow  
it to cool for at least one hour before attempting to replace the lamp cartridge.
Lamp Life
The light source for this television is a lamp, which is part of a lamp cartridge assembly.  The life of the lamp 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 shorten the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off frequently.  Mitsubishi warrants the 
lamp for one (1) year from the date of original purchase at retail.  It is likely that the lamp will last much longer than this.
To Order a New Lamp
To Receive a Replacement Lamp Under Warranty
Call (800) 553-7278.  Please have model number, serial number, and TV purchase date available.
Important:  All lamps replaced under warranty must be returned to Mitsubishi where they will be inspected for defect 
verification.
To Purchase a Replacement Lamp After Warranty
Visit our website at www.mitsuparts.com or call (800) 553-7278.  Order the new lamp part number shown below.
Appendix C:   Lamp Cartridge Replacement
WARNING
•  Do not remove the lamp cartridge immediately after turning off the television.  You may get burned because the 
lamp is very hot.  Allow the television to cool for at least one hour before replacing the lamp cartridge.
•  Do not remove the lamp cartridge except when replacing it.  Careless treatment can result in injury or fire.
•  Do not touch the lamp glass element.  It may be very hot and break, causing injuries or burns.
•  Be sure not to insert any metal or flammable object into the lamp cartridge opening, as it may cause fire or electri
-
cal shock.  If a foreign object is inserted into the opening, unplug the AC cord of the TV and contact your dealer for 
service.
•  Install the lamp cartridge securely.  Failure to do so may cause a fire.
•  Do not touch the lamp glass elements.  Oils from your fingers may cause premature lamp failure.

TV Reset Functions
You can resolve many common TV problems using the 
reset functions described in the following table.  See also 
the additional troubleshooting suggestions later in this 
appendix.
IMPORTANT
Before you change sound or picture settings:  If 
picture or sound settings seem wrong for a broadcast  channel (a channel from ANT 1, ANT 2, a cable box, 
or satellite receiver), first check other channels from the 
same input before changing settings.  If most other chan
-
nels from the same input seem correct, there is likely a 
problem with the broadcast rather than with the TV.  Use 
care in this case, as changes you make to fix problems on 
individual channels also affect all other channels on the 
same input.
