Too easy. Will the Service Manual do?

1. Press the OK or enter button on the front panel and MUTE

button on the remote control simultaneously (About 5 seconds).

2. Press the VOLUME ( G) button.

3. Press the OK or enter button.
Lamp time will be reset.

Well, the message is trigger by the passing of time. The TV simply counts the hours the TV has been on, then when the counter hits the designated amount... the message starts to appear. Best thing to do is order a lamp and have it on hand. You can go into the TV menu and reset the lamp timer for now, just to get the message out of sight. When the lamp does fail, change the lamp and reset the timer again. I hope this was of some assistance, best wishes.

You will have to purchase the Service Remote in order to reset the lamp hours on that model.

hold the mute on the remote and press enter on the tv and it will come up in the menu for you to reset

No its not correct this error message is telling you your lamp is going out and pruchasing a new one will reset this otherwise you have to cut some wires! i would not recommend that!

Press ok on the TV and mute on the remote at the same time about 6 seconds) to bring up the rest menu

you need to reset your lamp hours timer. as far as i know this can only be done with the service remote

Some say you can reset the timer in the service menu, normally accessed by holding down the menu button on the TV and the mute button on your remote at the same time. Others say you need a special "service remote" to access the timer. I've changed my bulb twice already and have just learned to ignore the amber lamp timer light. A little square of black electricians tape would make it go away!

Make sure the TV is on and:
1) Press and hold the Menu button on your TV SET
2) Press and hold the Menu button on your REMOTE CONTROL (at the same time)
3) Continue holding BOTH buttons down for 5 secconds or until the Service Menu pops up
4) Release the MENU button from your REMOTE CONTROL, then release the MENU button from the TV Set.
5) Press and hold ENTER (or OK) on the TV Set, then:
6) Press and hold MUTE on the REMOTE CONTROL (while still holding down the ENTER button on the TV SET
7) Holding both buttons down should lead to the Lamp Life Hours screen to pop up.
Release the MUTE button the REMOTE CONTROL, then release the ENTER (or OK) button on the TV Set.
9) Come back to this blog and post your HOURS on our site
10) Now press SELECT, then SELECT again to confirm the reset of the counter
** If the procedure above does not work swap steps 5 & 6.
** For a few special models (including 44SZ8D), you might have to change step 5 to:
5a) Press Enter on the TV Set to enter the Position Adjustment Screen
5b) Press and hold Enter on the TV Set (the TV should go back to the main Service Menu, continue holding Enter) and now also hold down the MUTE button on your REMOTE CONTROL. After about 5 seconds, your Lamp Life Counter should pop up.
