Replacing the Lamp

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-P260 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.

Notes

•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.

•When removing the lamp, make sure it remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not tilt the lamp. If you pull out the lamp while tilted and if the lamp is broken, the pieces may scatter, causing injury.

1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

Note

When replacing the lamp after using the projector, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.

2 Place a protective sheet (cloth) beneath the projector. Turn the projector over so you can see its underside.

Note

Be sure that the projector is stable after turning it over.
