Extending lamp life

The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 2500-3000 hours with proper usage. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

•Setting Lamp Power as Whisper

Using Whisper mode reduces system noise and power consumption. If the Whisper mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.
