Replacing the Lamp

The lamp used for the light source has a certain lifespan. When the lamp dims, the color balance of the picture becomes strange, or “Please replace the Lamp/Filter. End of Lamp/Filter life. Lamp off in 1 min.” appears on the screen, the lamp may be exhausted. Replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) without delay.

Use an LMP-H400 Projector Lamp as the replacement lamp.

The air filter is supplied with the LMP-H400 Projector Lamp. When you replace the lamp, it is also time to replace the air filter.
