Replacing the Lamp
When the lamp becomes dark or the picture colour is
not normal or the lamp indicator on the set flashes,
replace with a new lamp.
• Use the lamp XL-2000E for replacement. If you use
another lamp, it may cause damage to the set.
• Do not remove the lamp except when replacing it.
• Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and
disconnect the power cord.
• Replace the lamp after it becomes cool. The front
glass of the lamp remains 100 °C (212 °F) and more
even 30 minutes after the power is turned off.
• Do not place the removed lamp in proximity to
children or flammable material.
• Do not get the removed lamp wet, or insert objects
inside the lamp. It may cause the lamp to explode.
• Do not place near metal or easily flammable objects,
as this may cause fire. Also, do not put your hand
inside the lamp compartment, as you may be burned.
• Attach the new lamp firmly. If it is not firmly
attached, the picture may become dark.
1 Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
• If you start changing the lamp without disconnecting
the power cord, the standby indicator on the set
