Resetting the timer for the lamp on a PT-56DLX76?

Check lamp door and make sure it's secure for the safety switch to be engaged.

When you remove one of the lamps, you're notice that there's a micro-chip build into the housing itself. Unfortunately there's no way of manually resetting the lamp hours, due to the chip. You'll need to replace the whole lamp assembly.

You may have a bad lamp. Open the door on the side & pull lamp. The part number is TY-LA2006. They cost about $200-225. BE SURE to reset the lamp timer. If you buy an original Panasonic TY-LA2006 lamp, it will have instructions to reset lamp timer.

Read very carefully this is the only solution to reset lamp timer

1. Connect the mains lead to the projector and a mains socket, and switch the MAIN POWER on. 2. Press the POWER button.
3. Press the MENU button to display the menu.
4. Select the OPTION menu and press the ENTER button.
5. Select LAMP RUNTIME.
6. Press and hold the ENTER button for approximately 3 seconds.
7. The confirmation screen will be displayed and select OK.
8. Press the POWER button to turn off for resetting the duration of the LAMP RUNTIME.
9. Next time when you POWER ON the projector the duration of time in LAMP RUNTIME is reset to "0 H".

Sounds like either a lamp is out, or you need a new power supply in it.

Here is a link to replacing the lamp and the instructions for resetting the timer.
Just search for your set on the page.

I hope that this helps you.

You need the original remote to reset the lamp. Try to find a neighbor with a similar tv or buy one off ebay.

From my records your Model number is not an LCD television, but I have the LCD reset proceedure listed below for you.

I need help resetting the lamp timer. Is there a way to reset the timer w/o the remote? We bought this tv as a floor model 4 yrs ago and they didn't have the actual remote that came with it, so they gave us another remote that works. We replaced the lamp but we keep getting the message that the lamp needs to be replaced and the timer reset. Plus the red lamp indicator is still on. We even used a friend's remote (he has the exact same tv) and it still will not reset the timer.
