Replacing the Lamp

The light source lamp and its lamp time

The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of lamps currently used for this projector is about 2000 hours. [Average lamp life: 2000 hours]

When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Please install a new lamp when the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours or at least get a replacement lamp ready. Depending on the operating conditions, the lamp may have to be changed earlier. If the image remains dark or the tone, unusual, even after adjustment, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. You can check the accumulated used hours of the lamp via the “Lamp Time” item in the “Information” menu. (☞ page 40)

About lamp replacement

●If the projector is set in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place could cause injury. Move the projector to a place large enough to work in.

●To avoid malfunctions, be sure to use only genuine replacement parts. Also, never attempt to re-use an old lamp as this could cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blow-out leading to projector malfunction. In the worse case, broken pieces of glass from the lamp may cause injuries.

●Do not replace the lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and could cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of one hour or more before replacement.

●Before starting to replace the lamp, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet while the STAND BY indicator is on. Replacing a lamp while the power cord is connected could cause injury or electric shocks.
