The following instructions will tell you how to safely replace the projection lamp. Please read these instructions fully before attempting to replace the lamp. If you feel unsure about replacing the lamp, call a service technician.
WARNING!
It is very important you DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS SURFACE OF THE NEW LAMP. Touching the glass surface will deposit oils from your hand onto the lamp surface. When the lamp heats up to operating temperature, the oil will cause a difference in temperature on the lamp surface. This will likely cause the lamp to break. This lamp is only for use with the AV-61S902. It is designed to work specifically with the AV-61S902. Using this lamp with a different television or other product could cause a malfunction and/or damage to the television or the lamp. Under operating conditions THE LAMP WILL GET EXTREMELY HOT AND WILL CAUSE SEVERE BURNS IF TOUCHED. Before attempting to replace the lamp, make sure the television has run through its cooling cycle (indicated by the front panel LED lights) and that the television is unplugged. If you feel any warmth coming from the lamp DO NOT TOUCH IT. Wait until the lamp has fully cooled before attempting to replace it. NEVER attempt to replace the lamp with the television plugged into a wall outlet. Attempting to replace a lamp with the television plugged in could lead to a severe electrical shock. This kit also includes instructions on recycling the used lamp. Because the lamp contains a small amount of mercury, it cannot be disposed of with normal trash in the U.S. Packaging, with a pre-paid shipping label for returning the lamp to a JVC-authorized recycling center for recycling, is included with the replacement lamp. See the included sheet and page 63 in the AV-61S902 User�s Guide for details on recycling information for customers in the United States.
