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 TV flashes, this indicates the lamp needs to be replaced with a new one (not supplied).
WARNING
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
❑Use a Sony
❑Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.
❑Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp receptable once the lamp has been removed.
❑When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable “pop” sound. This is normal and it is inherent to this type of lamp.
❑In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of the broken glass pieces inside the lamp unit.
❑The lamps contain mercury. For proper disposal of the used lamps, follow and observe the local ordinances. See page 107.
