TV the Introducing
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has a lifespan and needs to be replaced when the Lamp indicator flashes or the screen becomes darker. Your TV also has a function to display a message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” to let you know that the lamp has reached its expected lifespan. Note the following:
❑After turning on your TV, it may take a while (1 minute or less) before the picture appears.
❑When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a new Sony
❑After lamp is replaced, please set the “Lamp Replacement” option in the Setup Settings (see page 61 and 66).
✍The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your TV is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look into the light housing when the power is on.
