Maintenance and Care

Lamp Management

This Projector is equipped with 4 Projection Lamps to ensure brighter image and those lamps are controlled by the Lamp Management Function. The Lamp Management Function detects the status of lamps and shows the status on screen or on the LAMP REPLACE indicators. This function also automatically controls the Lamp Mode when any of lamps is out for the end of life or malfunctions.

Lamp Status Display

The lamp status icons as shown right appears on screen when the projector is turned on or the input source (input 1, input 2, Input 3 or input 4) is switched. You can also check lamp status by using the Information window. To display the Information window, see pages 27 and 30.

Lamp Mode Changeover

The Lamp mode function automatically changes the lighting lamp (Lamp Mode) by detecting the status of lamp. For example, in 4-lamps mode, if one of the 4 lamps failed, the projector operates with the rest of the lamps, and the lamp mode automatically switches to the 3-lamps mode. To change the lamp mode manually, use the Lamp mode function. The illustrations shown right are the examples of on-screen lamp status in each lamp mode. Refer to the SETTING section on pages 55, 56.
