Replacing the Lamp

The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and

functionality, which affects the overall performance of your Television. How long the Lamp maintains its brightness will vary depending upon your usage and environmental conditions. To maintain the quality of your viewing

experience, Sony recommends that you replace the Lamp (1) after

approximately 8,000 hours of use (the TV will display a message reminding you to replace the lamp); (2) when the screen becomes dark or the color looks unusual; or (3) when the LAMP indicator on the front of the TV flashes.

WARNING

Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

[] Use a Sony XL-2400 replacement lamp (not supplied) for replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the TV.

[] Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.

[] Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire or

electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp receptable once the lamp has been removed.

[] When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop sound. This is normal and it is inherent to this type of lamp.

[] In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of the broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit.
