■Lamp Unit Replacement
The target replacement time of the lamp used on this projector is 1400 hours. (This may be shortened depending on the conditions of use.) Since there is a high possibility of lamp explosion if the cumulative usage time exceeds more than 1500 hours, the power to the lamp is cut off at 1500 hours.In the following instances where the cumulative usage time of the lamp is more than 1400 hours, replace the lamp unit (sold separately). When the projected image becomes dark or projected colors are unsatisfactory, the lamp has reached the end of its life. In this case, replace the lamp unit.
●When the message shown below is displayed while the lamp is on (This appears when the cumulative usage time of the lamp is more than 1400 hours.)
