■Replacing the lamp cartridge

The lamp used as the source of light is a consumable and will gradually lose its brightness over the course of usage. It is recommended that the lamp should be replaced when its usage exceeds 1000 hours in order to enjoy the best image possible.

“LAMP RUNNING TIME” in the menu group 3 <INITIAL> tells you how many hours the lamp has been used so far. The LAMP/ COVER indicator also lets you know the lamp replacement timing by flashing in red after the lamp usage has exceeded 1000 hours. (See page 14.) A message to replace the lamp will be displayed on the screen as well.

Follow the following steps to replace the lamp with a new one. Use the replacement lamp cartridge PJL-112 for replacement. For details, consult the store where this unit was purchased.
