>>>The Official JVC Pro-Dila HD-P61R1U & HD-P70R1U Owners Thread<<< - Page 134

Just got the "lamp needs replacing" memo across my screen. Original lamp has 6511 hours (196F HEX) so need to look for 1st replacement. Can you please advise where you found a lamp for that price? Also, did you replace the lamp yourself and was it difficult to do? Thanks for response.

I ignored the lamp warning and my lamp lasted another 3000+ hours. I replaced it only because setting the brightness level as high as it could go didn't help and the display was now too dim for me.

Google this part number, TS-CL110UAA, to check for the lamp prices. Make sure the lamp price includes the lamp housing. Some stores just sells the bulb without the lamp housing.

The lamp housing assembly is user replaceable ... one screw for the lamp compartment cover and two screws for the lamp housing assembly. The illustrated instructions are on page 100 of the Owner's manual.

CrosshairDS2... Thanks for your quick response on where to find a good price on the lamp. And also thanks for giving the link for the manual w/ page number for the installation of the lamp. Much appreciated !!! Joeyd1

I have a 61R1U and it looks like the light engine is failing. I love this TV so much that I would like to find a source for the replacement parts.

Does anyone know a good source for parts?

I would start with a call here: http://www.jvcservice.com/store/restart.asp They might still have stock or know who might. Good luck I still love my set and hope it keeps going for a long time.

Amazon has the lamps for about $55. Probably too late, but maybe helpful info for next time.

It is actually quite easy to replace the lamp in the 61" model. The one thing I would beware of is using a discount/cheaper lamp. I replaced my lamp with one of these and it is only 9 months old and I am replacing it again because the picture is so dark already. This time I am spending extra and getting the Phillips unit.

Been subscribed to this thread since Jan 2007 when I got my 70", couple months ago bought my 2nd replacement bulb as a backup since it was such a great price (thanks CrosshairDF2!)

Two nights ago I turned the system on and got no picture on the TV. Shutdown, restart, same deal. Red light was blinking. It's been over three years on the first replacement bulb so I thought it was time so swapped in the new bulb. However, forgot to unplug the TV before I did the replace (TV was powered off).

Powered the system back on and TV goes through the whole startup, theater pro flashes up on the screen and it tells me what input its on, but still no picture. When I switch source to DVD, same thing, "theater pro" flashes on the screen, as does the input, but no picture.

I unplugged the set, let it sit, plugged it back in, no difference. I then unplugged, removed and replaced the bulb, plugged back in, no difference.

I don't think it's the bulb because the TV menu shows on the screen as do the inputs and theater pro toggle.

Upstream I've got a Harman Kardon receiver switching HDMI from a blu-ray and Dish box.

Any thoughts on what's going on? I thought I recalled something about resetting HDMI inputs being necessary in some cases but couldn't find anything in searching this thread.

thanks!

search this thread, its in there somewhere

That sounds like your HDMI input needs to be reset. They are designed to disable themselves if the back of the TV is removed to prevent attempts to byass HDCP. They detect that the back cover is off with a light sensor that can be triggered by bright light entering through the ports on the back. I used to have a lot of trouble with this happening from sunlight reflections off the wall behind the TV, but I stopped it by taping a layer of plastic cut from a thick trash bag over that section of the TV.

Turn reset the HDMI inputs:
1. With the TV on, use the original remote and enter the service menu (press the sleep timer and while it shows "0", press the display and the video status at the same time).
2. Select 2 for self check then turn the TV off.
3. After the fan turns off, turn the TV back on. The HDMI ports should work now.

I have purchased a new set to replace my P70R1U in my main viewing area and will be relocating the JVC to another room in the house. I recall a card that had specific instructions on how to lift and carry the TV to avoid damaging anything, but cannot put my hands on it now that I need it. Attempts to google and search for this online have not been effective for me. Any guidance or other relevant feedback that might be of help to me would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
