Replacing the Lamp (For service personnel only)

Lamp and Lamp Usage Time

The maximum life of the lamp used for this unit is about 2000 hours, and may be far less depending on the type of usage and projector settings.

• The lamp life may not reach 2000 hours depending on the operating conditions.

When the lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Get ready or replace with a new lamp when the ac- cumulated lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the lamp may have to be exchanged earlier. If the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible. You can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to the “Lamp Hour” item of the “Information” menu. (Page 23,)

About Lamp Replacement

•If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this unit to a place large enough to perform the work.

•Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may occur. Also, never attempt to re-use an old lamp unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blowout, thus leading to unit malfunction. Broken pieces of the lamp outside this unit may also cause injuries during lamp unit exchange.

•Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and this may cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replacement.

•Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet while the [STAND BY] indicator is still on. Replacing a lamp with the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or electric shocks.

Resetting Lamp Time

After your Vidikron dealer installs a new lamp, he will reset the lamp time. The lamp time counter will be reset and a new count will start. If display of the accumulated lamp time has reached 2000 hours, this unit will not work (lamp does not light up) unless the lamp time is reset.
