About the Lamp
The projector lamp has a life of 2000 hours. Maintain proper ventilation to keep the lamp operating throughout its lifetime. Do not subject the projector to unnecessary vibration to ensure that the lamp does not break.
It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced after approximately 2,000 cumulative hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The number of hours the lamp has been used can be checked with “Lamp Timer” in the “Options” menu on the menu screen.
For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Authorized Service Center or Dealer.
The actual lamp service life may be less than 2000 hours depending on the environment in which the projector is used.

It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.

If the lamp breaks, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside the projector.
If this happens, it is recommended you contact your nearest Authorized Dealer to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
