Cleaning and Replacing the Filter (Cont.)

Clean the filters.

Wash the filter in water with neutral detergent, and dry it in the shade.

Reinstall the filters.

To reinstall the filters to the projector, reverse the procedure for removing. Finally, be sure to reinstall the filter covers.

Notes

• Install the filters correctly; otherwise the projector will not operate normally.
• If the filters and/or filter holders are damaged, the projector may fail to operate. Then, replace with new parts.

About Light-Source Lamp Replacement

The light-source lamp has its service life. It is approximately 1000 hours.
When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, its degradation progresses rapidly. When the lamp’s used
hours exceed 900 hours, the projector’s LAMP indicator comes on. Also, at the start of projection (lamp energized), the
message “REPL.-LAMP” appears on the projection screen for about two minutes. Then, the light-source lamp needs to be
replaced. When lamp’s service has reached 1000 hours, the projector’s LAMP indicator starts blinking. The specified lamp
replacement period is 1000 hours, but depending on use conditions, the replacement period may vary. If video image is dark
and its color tint is extraordinary even after you have adjusted color tint and brightness, replace the light-source lamp a little
earlier.
For replacing the light-source lamp, consult the dealer where you purchased your projector or a local service center.

CAUTION

• Put on rubber gloves when using neutral detergent.
• After you have washed the filter in water, make sure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling it. Otherwise,

electric shock or malfunction could occur.

• Do not clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner. Since the filter is soft, it may be sucked into the vacuum cleaner

or damaged.
