Replacing the Lamp

Note: The brightness setting can be changed by selecting Brightness Control in the projector’s Advanced2 menu.

It is time to replace the lamp when:

❏The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

the lamp comes on and the lamp warning light is flashing orange. To maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.

❏The lamp warning light is flashing red (the lamp is burnt out).
