Thanks, Art, for the tip...but I guess it takes a better man than I to
make that process work. Tried it for 20 minutes last night, with every
conceivable volume setting, and still no results. Guess the EPROM is
bad.

Diligence, even the professional technicians have occasional difficulty
pursuing this specific function on the
Panasonic sets. Try again, advance the volume to about 1/3 the way then
attempt he procedure again. Eventually it will work unless the EPROM data is
contaminated, which is highly doubtful.

I have a Panasonic PT-45LC12 LCD rear projector TV. I just replaced the
bulb and tried to follow the instructions to reset the lamp hour meter;
i.e., hold down the TV's Volume-- button while pressing the remote's
PIP/Play button. It didn't work...even after several attempts, and
after unplugging the TV from the wall socket and reconnecting. Any
suggestions would be appreciated for solving the problem, or am I just
stuck with a TV that doesn't obey commands anymore?
