Replacing the Lamp

The projection lamp, which illuminates the picture, has a limited life.

If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or the LAMP indicator on the front of the TV flashes, it is time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied).

WARNING

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

How to Replace the Lamp

❑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.

❑The lamps contain mercury. For proper disposal of the used lamps, follow and observe the local ordinances. See page 89.

1 Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait several minutes, then unplug the power cord.

(The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes after turning the power off.)

2 Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the power cord to allow the lamp to cool down before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do not touch the lamp receptable once the lamp has been removed.

3 Take the new lamp out of the box.

Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.

✍Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp or shorten its life.

✍Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.
