  • Since the lamp is made of glass, do not apply shock to it and do not scratch it.
  • Also, do not use old lamp. This could also cause explosion of the lamp.
  • If it is probable that the lamp has exploded (explosive sound is heard), disconnect the power plug from the power outlet and ask your dealer to replace lamp.

The lamp is covered by front glass, but, in rare cases, the reflector and the inside of the projector may be damaged by scattered broken pieces of glass, and broken pieces could cause injury when being handled.

- Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.

Lamp Life

Projector lamps have a finite life. The image will become darker, and hues will become weaker, after a lamp has been used for a long period of time.

Replace the lamp if the LAMP indicator is red, or the CHANGE THE LAMP message (see P.20 Table 8) appears when the projector is switched ON.

NOTE:

The LAMP indicator is also red when the lamp unit reaches high temperature. Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power ON again. If the LAMP indicator is still red, replace the lamp.

Replacing the Lamp

  1. Switch the projector OFF, remove the power cord from the power outlet, and wait at least 45 minutes for the unit to cool.
  2. Prepare a new lamp.
  3. Check that the projector has cooled sufficiently, and gently turn it upside down.
  4. Loosen the two screws as shown in the diagram, and remove the lamp cover.
  5. Loosen the three screws, and gently remove the lamp while holding the grips. Touching the inside of the lamp case may result in uneven coloring.
  6. Install the new lamp and tighten the three screws firmly. Also steadily push the opposite side of the screwed lamp into the unit.
  7. Replace the lamp cover in position and tighten the two screws firmly.
  8. Gently turn the projector right-side up.
