Interval of lamp replacement

The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 4000 hours*1*2 of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 4000 hours*1*2. Decrease

in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 3000 hours*1, the indicator will blink alternately between green and red (while the MBNQJTMJUXIFOUIFMBNQJTOPUMJUUIFJOEJDBUPSXJMM be lit red only) and the lamp replacement message will appear on the screen for 1 minute everytime the lamp is turned on. When the lamp has been used for about 3800 hours*1, the replacement message (LAMP REPLACEMENT) will appear on the screen for 1 minute every 20 hours*1 thereafter. When the lamp operation time exceeds 4000 hours*1*2, the projector automatically shuts off.

*1: Duration when LAMP MODE of the INSTALLATION menu is set to LOW. When it is set to STANDARD, this duration will be shorted.
