Introducing the Sony LCD Projection TV
Replacing the Lamp The projection lamp, which illuminates the picture, has a limited life.
If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or the LAMP indicator on the front of the LCD projection TV flashes, it is time to replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied).
