Replacing the Lamp

The lamp used as a light source is a consumable product. When the lamp has burnt out or dims, or “Please replace the LAMP.” appears on the screen, replace the lamp with a new one. Use LMP-F300 Projector Lamp as the replacement lamp. The lamp life varies depending on conditions of use.

Caution

The lamp becomes a high temperature after

turning off the projector with the I / 1 key. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.

•If the lamp breaks, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

•Pull out the lamp by holding the handle. If you touch the lamp, you may be burned or injured.
