Sony KDS-60A2020 Projection lamp was replaced after we received the error message saying it was nearing end of life. The replacement process was successfully, however we still see the error message saying the lamp is nearing end of life when the TV is turned on. Do you know what needs to be done to turn off the error message?

Along with the instructions for the lamp installation, you should have revceived instructions on how to reset the lamp counter. If not, this operation is listed in the owner's manual. If you can not locate that manual, please confirm your model number and I will post the instructions. Since the counter has not been reset, the TV will continue to show the "error" message.

Might also want to try amazon.com. Sony is 199
Amazon was around 150.

And you can easily do this yourself.
Theres a little door at the right side if your looking at the front. (left if your looking at the rear) Open that up and youll see another door that has a little latch on it. turn it about a 1/4 turn to the left and it will release that door and pull it straight out. then there is the bulb, and that has a little wire ring that is the release. Pull that up and out.

Here is a link to a website that sells the replacement lamp for $99 dollars. http://electrified.com/Catalog/Items/?CampaignID=Dealtime&ItemID=36414

There might be a local store in your area that carries replacement lamps but probably will not have yours in stock and would have to order it. After you replace the lamp you will need to reset the lamp timer for your TV using the lamp replacement option on the TV general settings menu.

you need to go into the TV's menu and select replace projection lamp menu and follow the on screen instructions to verify and reset the lamp timer, (its in your instruction manual , in detail) , i am awaiting a new phillips bulb for mine, as i always use the original enclosure, no need for extra plastic, and its easy to complete the swap, and reset hours via TV menu
