Replaced the Lamp, on my PT-50LC13 pan TV. But cannot reset the timer because the screen does not light up. and the instructions say to hold down the -Vol button and the pip button. But which one? there are 3 buttons with the word PIP

hello Plug the power cord back into a properly grounded wall outlet. Then press the POWER button on the projection display or the
remote control to turn the power on
While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display,
hold down the PIP or SPLIT button on the remote control
simultaneously for more than 5 seconds.
When the lamp time reset procedure is complete, the
above screen will appear. (This screen may be different from
the actual screen.)
Note: When the lamp time reset is complete, the LAMP
indicator goes out. i hope it helps

If you need the original remote, you can order the original Panasonic replacement remote control for this model (PT-50LC14) from a major Panasonic parts distributor at the link below:

Panasonic PT-50LC14 Replacement Part Remote Control

Sometimes there's a way to reset the counter by mashing certain keys on the TV itself in a sequence, but if your owner's manual doesn't specify this option, then you may have to get the original replacement remote to be able to reset it.

Power on the set, listen for afaint buzzing sound as the set tries to fire up. If you do not here it then your lamp driver, or ballast is most likely faulty. Also make sure you have the door and all covers back in place and secure. And make sure you insatlled an orginal panasonic lamp because some generic will not work.

You need to have your Panasonic remote.
1. Make sure the power cord is plugged into a properly grounded outlet and turn on the set with the power button on the projection unit or the remote control.

2. While holding down the (VOL -) key on the projection unit press the PIP or SPLIT key at the same time. Hold it for longer than 5 Seconds. The PIP or SPLIT key is model specific:

PIP for Models:
PT-50LC13/PT-60LC13/PT-50LCX63/
PT-60LCX63/PT-43LCX64/
PT-50LCX64/PT-60LCX64

SPLIT for Models:
PT-43LC14/PT-50LC14/PT-60LC14



3. When the unit resets the lamp timer it will display a screen on the TV indicating it was reset to zero. You press recall on the remote to exit.
