After installing the new lamp, it is crucial to reset the lamp timer in your Sony television. This ensures accurate tracking of the new lamp's lifespan and prevents premature warning messages.
5.1 Initial Power On
Turn on your Sony television. The picture should now be restored to its optimal brightness.
5.2 Resetting the Lamp Timer
