When to replace the Lamp unit

The Lamp unit is consumable and the brightness decreases by duration of usage. The LAMP indicator will inform you of the replacement timing at 2 800 hours, and at 3 000 hours, the projector will be turned off. Those figures are rough guidance and might be shortened by the usage conditions, characteristics of the Lamp unit, environmental conditions, and so on. You can check the duration of usage time using LAMP RUNTIME in the OPTION menu.
