Lamp Replacement

The lamp is the light source for the DLP panel. When the lamp fails, replace it with a new one.

Do not remove the lamp immediately after turning off the projector. You may get burned because of the high temperature of the lamp.

When replacing the lamp, first press the power button to power off, then wait one hour so that the lamp is cool to the touch.

Do not remove the lamp except for re- placement. Careless treatment can cause injury or fire.

Do not touch the lamp element directly. It may break and cause you to injure or burn yourself.

Be sure not to drop the lamp lid screw into the projector. Also be sure not to insert metal or any flammable objects, it may cause fire or electric shock. If any objects are inserted, please unplug the AC cord and contact your dealer.

Install the lamp securely. Failure to do so may cause a fire.

Lamp Life

The actual life of the lamp in this television can vary, based on the lamp itself, the air temperature around the TV while it is operat- ing, and user’s viewing patterns. Warmer air (or poor ventilation) shortens the lamp life, as does turning the television on and off fre- quently. Mitsubishi warranties the lamp for 90days or 2000 hours of operation whichever occurs first. However, it is likely that the lamp will last significantly longer than this. When the lamp life reaches 4,000 Hours, the TV will display a warning message for one minute. This warning message will also be displayed the next 5 times the TV is turned on. The purpose of this message is to advise the customer that the lamp may fail soon. To order a new lamp call (800) 553 - 7278.

Caution : Allow the television to cool for one hour before attempting to replace the lamp.

You can confirm the Lamp Elapsed time by selecting the Lamp Status in the Advanced Menu.
