If the tv projection lamp already been inside the tv now like a 1 1/2 or 2 years?Tv used it every day like 4 or 5 hrs every days?Yes?Than it is the tv projection lamp have to be replace,because the tv projection lamp life span have ended.

The lamp light should NOT be RED.
The lamp light should be yellow for the lamp timer warning.

There are two ways of retting the lamp timer=
1) on the TV use the vol - button. push until vol goes to zero, then keep holding it down
on the REMOTE push the "split" button

the yellow light should go out indicating that the lamp timer has been reset
if this fails to work,
on the REMOTE, use the "PLAY" button, instead of "split".
you may have to try this a few times to get it to "take". you'll know when the YELLOW lamp light goes out.

However, a RED LAMP light means you lamp is not working or missing.
reseat your new lamp into the TV...and be certain the LAMP DOOR is securely CLOSED.

All rear projection TVs has a lamp thats like a special bulb inside the TV.

The TV is warning you that this is about to go and will need to be replaced.

This is not a serious problem as TV lamps goes after certains hours of use (normally 4,000 hours sometimes more) and the TV manual should have instructions on how to do this and the part you need.

Sounds like you need to replace your lamp and the tv will work fine until the new lamp goes out. I have had three lamps since Nov 2006 in mine and I have a notice coming up on my Panasonic saying I need to change the lamp right now. Which is strange, because before there was no warning, it worked fine and then when we went to turn it on again, it just did not work until the lamp was replaced.

could be lamp or lamp driver the only way to tell is to replac on at a time.
