Make sure there is plenty of space around and under the projector for

 

 

ventilation, and that the air filters and vents are clear.

The projector is overheating, which turns the lamp off automatically. Wait

 

 

until the cooling fan stops, then unplug the power cord. Plug the power

 

 

cord back in and press the P Power button. Make sure the room

 

 

temperature is not above 95 °F (35 °C) and there is plenty of space

 

 

around and under the projector for ventilation.

page 103.

 

 

If the projector continues to overheat after you clean the air filter, the

 

 

problem may be caused by damage to the cooling fan or temperature

 

 

sensor. Contact Epson for help.
