Replacing the Lamp

zDuring normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely hot. Before replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the cool down operation (indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is flashing amber) to finish. Next, disconnect the AC power cord from the projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to allow it to cool down even further.
