Projection Lamp
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:
sAfter turning on your TV, it may take a while (one minute or less) before the picture appears.
sWhen the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the lamp with a new Sony
sAfter lamp is replaced, please set the Lamp Replacement option in the General settings (see page 42).
“How to Replace the Lamp”, see page 43.
~
•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.
