Hold VOL - on the TV then aim the remote at the TV (watch so that your arm doesn't block the remote signal and press PIP or the SPLIT button. Do this together for at least 5 second. I hope this helps.

Try holding down VOL - on the TV panel and then hold SPLIT or PIP on the remote for 5 seconds. A message should appear saying it is reset. I hope this helps.

hello

Panasonic lamp timer reset procedure

1. Press the power button to turn the unit on.
2. There are 3 choices for this step, depending on the housing part number:

A. TY-LA1000, TY-LA1500 or TY-LA2005 While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the PIP or SPLIT button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds.

B. TY-LA1001 or TY-LA2006 While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the number 0 button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds.

C. TY-LA2004 While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the MUTE button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds.

3A. When the reset procedure is complete the the following screen will appear: LAMP TIME WAS RESET TO 0 (this screen may be different from the actual screen)

OR

3B. The POWER and LAMP LED's on the front of the unit will flash for 5 seconds. (TY-LA2006)

When the lamp time reset is finished, the LAMP indicator goes out. It may be necessary to attempt the procedure several times.

hold the Volume Down button on the TV and the Mute button on the remote for 5 seconds.

I believe on this set it is actually in the customer menu. About 4 screens and it is second option to reset the lamp timer.
