I have a nec vt570 projector and it has gone into bypass mode because I let the lamp go to long. I've replaced the lamp but can't reset the hour meter.Is there any way to reset without the remote

SOURCE: Reset Lamp Hours Timer

This works on a couple different Toshiba models -- might work on yours...

Make sure the main power switch is OFF. Hold the "ON", "MENU", and "INPUT" buttons at the same time and turn the main power switch on. Keep them held until the yellow power standby light comes on, then let go. It is done.

Replacing the lamp with an old one was helpful for me. Good news: the projector itself not faulty. Bad news: I have two projectors with the same issue at the same time (the lamps were replaced also at the same time) after only 400 hours of running.

if you can't through the menu, you do need the remote.
