I replaced the bulb and all was great, for ten hours. It shut down b/c I didn't reset the bulb timer, as is reqiuired. To reset, you're supposed to hold the "Menu" and "Vol +" keys at the same time. Anyway, the unit is shut down, and now flashes a 3-2 code - meaning a bulb problem or failure. The new bulb is perfectly fine. So, b/c it wasn't reset, the the TV won't turn on. So it won't recognize the "Menu-Vol+" command to reset. It's a Catch-22. what do you do??? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! K
This unit will not go into shut down because the lamp timer is not reset. The error you are getting means the lamp you put in is defective or it is not seated proplerly. Make sure the lamp door is on properly because there is a lamp door safety switch that must be depressed properly or the unit will shut down. When the timer needs to be reset you simply get a message on the screen that tells you so, it does not shut down. There are other things that will cause this problems such as the ballast or even problems in the light engine.

I can tell you that I exactly as the book instructed to reset my timer and the system didn't recognize the command. I've also had this "going off" problem and when I took out the box and put it back in I'm right back where I was. Only difference is, now the message to change the bulb stays on just a second and goes off on its own
